    Vista Issue on My Setup

    Couldn't agree more with you there. Setting "turn hdd off" to never seems to have fixed things, so thanks to everyone who helped. I can now enjoy Vista (if at all possible) instead of trying to figure out what that noise was all about.

    Vista Issue on My Setup

    Ok, I just set it to never and hopefully that will take care of it. It's not that it bugs me (actually it does lol) but it's more that I was concerned that damage was being done to my files, and I'd rather be safe than sorry. Thanks for input everyone

    Vista Issue on My Setup

    It does seem to occur most often when I am playing movies off of my movie hdd and the movie will pause for a split second. What should I set my power settings to? It either sounds like my hdd or my psu. But it sounds like something picking up speed followed by a clicking noise, which to me...

    Vista Issue on My Setup

    It doesn't sound like a fan, it sounds too electronic. Plus why would a fan make this noise under Vista but not XP? Thanks for throwing out ideas though.

    Vista Issue on My Setup

    Oh lol ok, now that I've made a complete ass of myself, I have another concern. Intermittently while I'm running vista, even while idling, the computer makes the noise a computer makes after it is shut down. That kind of electronic fading out noise followed by a clicking noise. The computer...

    Vista Issue on My Setup

    I can photocopy the warning on the manual if you don't believe me. What would I have to gain by making this false accusation against ATI? Anyways... yes it is common sense but I just wanted to be 100% positive by asking some of the more advanced people around here. And I completely agree that it...

    Vista Issue on My Setup

    I know that's exactly what I said when I bought this thing 5 years back... doesn't make any sense because it's simply supplying power, so who cares what it is Y-ed to. So this should be a non-issue? I just don't understand why ATI would go out of their way to warm you to connect it to the hdd in...

    Vista Issue on My Setup

    Ya, on the 9800pro aiw, there is a molex connector on the card. You are supplied with a Y molex connector. One is plugged into card, one is plugged into hdd and one is plugged into the PSU. I don't know why you would have to do this, but on my graphics card manual there is a warning about doing...

    Help Picking a WS Monitor

    I've done a bunch of research lately on wide-screen LCDs and am having a hard time choosing. What I am definitely looking for is a 20-22" LCD with an 8-bit panel and HDCP support either over DVI or through HDMI. And a low response time and good contrast and brightness would also be helpful...
