This driver suite caused sleep on my computer to malfunction; computer would sleep but upon waking no video signal was output. Reboots would often not fixed it; would have to discharge the capacitors on the mobo and then restart. Rolled back to 12.2 and installed 12.3 and it worked fine. A...

Same problem here w/ the u2410. I use shiftwindow to move my Chrome window back in place, and the desktop gadgets seem to revert to their original positions, but the windows on my main monitor get moved. Very annoying.

Just wondering if anyone has any advice on testing this. Completely new computer build, fresh Windows install, and I've been having some bad luck. Seagate drive was DOA, had it exchanged for a WD drive and it's fine now, but the computer keeps crashing to the desktop from Civ 5. The game will...

I was using a gtx 460 :T But same issue; the heatsink is very tall and there's clearance issues. I got it to fit, but it was not fun.

Just a quick FYI the MSI cyclone series of video cards has a VERY hard time fitting into this case. Just got one to go in w/ a Gigabyte H55N but it was NOT easy and there was much swearing. All the reviews I had seen about this case were talking about how it fit larger video cards and no one...

I ended up just installing the disks as singles and using Windows to make the RAID 1. Performance isn't spectacular but doesn't need to be and it works even if I uninstall a disk.

Also have this problem; knew about the magnifier fix will try some of the others. Yeah this is insane. :T Such a basic thing.

Those are some impressive builds; as many have said the precision and wiring are really impressive.

Yeah I did reset to "optimized defaults"... I have no clue why memtest was throwing errors. I've tested the bclk at 160, 170, 180, 190 and now 200 (memory at x6, CPU at x15) and it's passed 1 hour of linx now at 200 bclk with no additional voltage to the VTT or Vcore. Noooo clue what was...

Board passed 5 runs of burntest (max) at 180 bclk (6x RAM, 15x CPU) so it's probably not "just" the bclk that was causing issues. I'll keep testing and tweaking I guess until I figure it out but overclocking non-methodically the first time sort of makes it hard to pin down problems. I'll test...

Hmm, I figured that might be the case since the IMC is, well, integrated now. The RAM is actually 1600MHz 8-8-8-24 RAM and it'd be running at 170x8 or 1360MHz, so it's actually underclocked and shouldn't have any problems :) I asked someone at home to check for me and the system has passed...

I recently added another 4GB of RAM to my motherboard, so now I'm running 4x2GB of DDR3. I started getting random BSODs and crashes, but it's inconsistent. After running some tests in Windows at my OC'd settings using Linx, Prime95 and a memory testing program, it seems like there's an issue...

Well, 5 months later (has it really been that long?) I bought 4GB more of RAM and installed it. I flashed a new BIOS (if it isn't broken...) so had to redo my settings. The new BIOS won't allow for a x21 multiplier at all unless turbo boost is enabled, so I tried 20x175 and the system booted...

For the love of jebus where the hell are all those external PCI-E enclosures for vid cards and laptops we were supposed to get? ASUS? AARRG. This is a sweet mod though. *edit* Asus XG station http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XG_Station Arg.

I was replacing some regular SATA cables with 90 degree cables in my computer and must have accidentally reversed which drive was plugged into which SATA port. When Windows loaded up, my RAID 1 dynamic disk mirror was offline. BOTH disks were being detected, but one was saying it was offline...
