    Weird thing on screen with 6600GT

    Just wondering what the cause of a 2 inch margin that is brighter than the rest of the screen would be. It runs from the bottom right to about 3 inches from the top on the right side of the monitor. I changed the resolution and then changed it back and it went away. Weird.

    Use laptop as display for Playstation 2?

    Does anyone know of a cheap and easy way to use a laptop as the display for a Playstation 2 or any other item that has RCA outputs? I was just wondering if there was a USB or FireWire device for this purpose.

    How do I get into Safe Mode?

    Thanks for the replies. I tried tapping F8 after the BIOS screen and it worked on the first try. I guess Sony doesn't even know how to run their own computers. (Vaio web support is where I learned about "holding down" the F8 key.)

    How do I get into Safe Mode?

    I have a Sony Vaio desktop and have tried at the Vaio screen (BIOS screen) holding down the F8 key, the F5 key, and nothing happens. I did a live support chat and the guy on the other end told me to reset the BIOS setup defaults and then try again. I did that, still nothing. My computer still...

    Crash when exiting Halo

    I am running nVidia ForceWare version 77.72. I upgraded to the 6600 GT from the integrated Intel graphics on my Vaio, and just did what the instructions said (uninstall display adapter drivers, install graphics card, install video drivers) so I might have a driver conflict. Your replies are...

    Crash when exiting Halo

    The make of the PSU is Delta. It's in a Sony Vaio. It has dual +12V rails with 18A on each rail and a combined output of 22A I believe, so it really shouldn't have much trouble running my 6600GT since I only have one HDD and one DVD-RW. Also, could someone please explain how to boot into...

    Crash when exiting Halo

    Ok, I just had the same problem again, but this time Microsoft blamed it on the nVidia card (told me to update drivers). I went to nVidia's website and they said that it could be a number of things and that Microsoft just likes to blame the video card because that's the easiest thing to blame...

    Crash when exiting Halo

    Yes, has only happened once. I am beginning to think it might have just been a software issue, but I don't really know that much about software or hardware, so I'm just guessing.

    Crash when exiting Halo

    My computer just rebooted when I was exiting Halo. I have a 6600GT running on a 305W PSU (6600GT has recommended 350W PSU) and I don't think my temps were too high. I'm just wondering, if this is a power supply problem, why would it crash when exiting Halo and not while I was playing it...
