    silent 9800 pro recommendations?

    I recently installed my old ATI 9800 pro card in my HTPC. This has increased my noise level substantially. What would you recommend as a replacement fan/heatsink to keep the noise down as much as possible?

    safe mode using projector

    Wow.... So anyway, I stuck my Radeon 9000 back in the PC and magically, everything works fine. I guess the 9500 sucks.

    safe mode using projector

    I have an htpc that I've built. I am using a Panasonic PT-L500U projector with it. Everything works fine with the projector and video card display, except that it doesn't display the POST menu and will not project anything in safe mode. I am using a modded 9500pro and I using the DVI...

    Upgrade advice

    I'm gonna replace my current motherboard (Asus A7V8X) and processor (AMD XP 2200+ T-Bred). I would like to get the best performance increase for the buck. I would also like to use a chipset other than VIA. I am looking to spend around 200 bucks total for a new motherboard and CPU. I'll be...

    Recommend me the best non VIA Athlon XP motherboard

    Yeah, I figured that I would have to get some of the onboard stuff with the board I chose. I basically stated that I didn't need the onboard stuff because I won't be using it anyway. Is there any difference between the nforce 2 chips besides the extra onboard features?

    Recommend me the best non VIA Athlon XP motherboard

    Here's what I need, a non-VIA motherboard that will support a T-Bred XP and a Barton XP chip. I want the fastest board available. I don't want or need on-board sound, on-board NIC or anything else. I would like Dual Channel RAM capability as well and also front USB 2.0 compatibility...

    computer audio help

    I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to computer audio. I have an HTPC that I run a coax SPDIF connection from my onboard soundcard (Via 8235) to my logitech 5500 speakers. Everything works okay for the most part, but I'm still pretty confused about a lot of the concepts behind digital/analog...

    confusion between router/switch/hub

    If you're looking for cheap, buy another NIC like you suggested. If you want to be cheap and lazy, buy a USB NIC. The performance hit having another PCI NIC installed is not that much. The performance hit on a USB NIC is more, but if you have a decent machine, it shouldn't be a big deal.

    VPU Restarts

    I have had the same exact problem with the newer CATs. I uninstalled the drivers and control panel (CAT 4.2's), restarted, installed the CAT 3.5's and haven't had a problem since. I have seen many others have the exact same problem.

    I don't have anything else near the monitors. The problem occurs whether or not one or two of the monitors are turned on. The Dell monitor that I primarily use (P1130 21" CRT) is only about two months old. Thanks for the suggestions, keep 'em coming.

    I forgot to say that I have tried in different rooms in the house (both upstairs and downstairs), but I still have the problems. What really puzzles me is that there is no problem at all when installed the Nvidia card.

    Would OCing too far cause system reboots?

    Right click on my computer, select manage. Look under Event Viewer and performance logs and alerts.
