    improper DVD sound

    Actually, my speakers are rather old. They are 4.1 but I have them set on 5.1. I didn't think to change that since I have never had this problem before. I will have to get another movie and see if changing it to quadrophonic helps. Thanks

    improper DVD sound

    Here's a new problem for me. I went to play a movie last night and everything was fine with the previews, etc. until the movie actually started. Then the sound for the music and special effects were OK but all voice tracks were very quiet and sounded like they were in a tin can if you could...

    Netflix and DRM problems

    I just installed Vista on my computer for the first time. I have read of the problems with Vista but a friend got fed up with it because he was going to have to buy a new copy of Quick Books, so he went back to xp and gave me Vista! Anyway, now when I want to watch a netflix movie online it...

    Crysis 1.1 Benchmarks - [H] Exclusive (Non-SLI)

    I am running 7.11 because 7.12 won't load CCC. My card is not over heating, I have the fan doing over 50% and keeping it below 70% load. Hopefully by the time I buy the game the drivers will have all the kinks worked out, but even with this, it is quite a game.

    Crysis 1.1 Benchmarks - [H] Exclusive (Non-SLI)

    I just downloaded the trial version of Crysis to see how it runs on my new system. With the vid card overclocked but the cpu at default, I can run everything on high with no problem. But sometimes a rock or object flickers in and out and when I got to the daybreak part where I had to go down...

    3850 and Driver issues...I'm dying over here

    Well don't leave us in suspense, how did you all the sudden get it to work. I assume you downloaded 7.12. I can't get 7.12 to load CCC so I have to use 7.11 with my 3870.

    Need a bit of HD 3870 Advice

    Big Lar, could you explain how net 3.0 helps this problem. I have a standard Powercolor 3870 that doesn't overclock well. Powercolor told me to wait and install it on my new build which will be a 790fx system and see if that helps. I guess I will update .net also but was wondering how that...

    3870 problems!

    Right now I am in the process of sending this card back. It won't even overclock properly with the original bios.

    3870 problems!

    Has anyone tried Winflash? I cannot find any instructions for its use. I haven't ever tried to flash anything from DOS as in ATIflash. Which is easier?

    3870 problems!

    Update: I downloaded 7.11 and CCC now comes up. I still don't see how to get it to check the memory since it will lock up when it reaches the limit of the core. Also, why does it say core current setting is 300 at the bottom of overdriive? When I get into ATI tray tools, it shows that the...

    3870 problems!

    Where to start. I got a PColor 3870 yesterday and installed it. Already had 7.12 downloaded and everything seemed to go fine. Used CCC to do some overclocking. When it got to 860 core it hard locked (I knew that might happen). Would lock up a few seconds after it got into desktop so I had...

    Tech rerport : An update on AMD 790FX motherboards

    Thanks for the info, that makes me feel better. I knew what I was getting when I ordered the system. Price was a big factor since I don't need the fastest system out there. Besides, if AMD ever get their act together, I can drop a better chip in here at some point.

    Tech rerport : An update on AMD 790FX motherboards

    Since I have the Gig 790fx DS5 coming I am somewhat interested in this review. It seems that if you run it in native IDE the speeds are good. The review says "AHCI mode is necessary to take advantage of Native Command Queuing and SATA device hot-swapping", but I don't know what that means...
