OK, so this is an odd problem that I'm (totally off the top of my head) attributing to hard-drive issues?
Whenever I use USENET servers my machine (i920, 6GB DDR3, Win7, 9800GTX+) machine will hard lock after a random period of time. Sometimes it's a few hours, sometimes it's five minutes...
Fixed it.
Start Run -> Msconfig -> Boot -> Advanced Settings
Unchecked "Number of Processors" (It was at 4). Rebooted, viola, 8 threads. :) Thanks for help.
OK, Question!
When I first installed my i7-920 I had one or two boots where the system (perf mon) showed 8 cores, as HyperThreading was fooling the OS into thinking there were 2x.
Now, I only show 4. Ever. Does this mean HT is disabled? I don't recall an option in the bios or anywhere in...
I tried this and rebooted, but still have the same issue. I set the DWORD back to 4 (as it was).
I think you may be on the right track, though. If Vista is not enabling drivers by default, then it should be a relatively simple fix.
I have an Iomega 1TB USB drive connect to my Vista (x64) Ultimate PC.
I have to manually power OFF and then back ON for the PC to recognize it. This occurs even after rebooting. It works with XP fine.
Any thoughts?
OK, so it's not fixed. I still have the same issue. It just starts out running both clients at full speed (60+fps) for a bit, then drops. There aren't any programs spiking, that I can tell, so this is really confusing.
I'm having an incredibly weird problem with framerates.
Machine:
Vista Ultimate x64
Asus P6T v2 Deluxe (latest bios)
4 GB DDR3 (dual channel setup atm)
Intel i7 920
dual 9800GTX+ GPUs w/ 190.62 drivers
Problem
I run EVE-Online in two clients, windowed mode. I run one per monitor...
