Hey
Wrote out this long question and synopsis of my problem... crazy forum... basically i have a hard drive that will not initialize in Vista and no matter what i do it wont work... its in an external case but when i put it inside the computer and hook it up through IDE it makes it so the...
Thanks for the advice,
I somehow managed to get the monitor back up and running... I unplugged all the optical devices, took out all my addon cards [sound, wireless, pvr] and im now only running the video card, both hds (both on cable select), and the motherboard + cpu.
Now the computer...
ahhhh!
so i tried resetting the cmos... left the battery out for 15 minutes, flipped the jumper... turned it back on... stays put at the boot screen. So i tried the memory... took 1 stick out, nothing, switched sticks.... monitor wont come on. went back to normal, monitor still wont come...
It still wont go past the motherboard boot screen... is there anything else i can do? im going to try resetting the cmos and stuff again but i dont think that will help? any ideas anyone?
I just changed the jumper settings on the backup hd to master, and disconnected the other hd and tried to boot it up, still wont go past the motherboard boot screen.... ahhh
They are both PATA drives (WD 120gb and a Seagate 160gb), I know the WD is set for master, but i don't think I changed the seagate to master when i tried it alone. I'm pretty sure the Seagate is set on the option where its status is determined by the cable (if thats an option, otherwise its set...

I started to get artifacts on my 9600pro back in january so i sent mine back in, likewise, within a week i had a new card from them. To compare it to another RMA, i had to send my motherboard in to MSI because it wasnt working properly, but instead of the normal 10-12 businessdays, it took them...
Thats really cool, but one question; do you plan on having the woofer actually work because if im not mistaken, the magnets inside a woofer can ruin comp parts. That is a really cool sub tho, much nicer than my box shaped creative one. i hope everything turns out well for you, good luck

Hey
