    Anyone own/used/seen a "Coolermaster Centurion 5" case?

    I'm looking at getting one of these, but have a question for anyone who's had hands on experience with one please: The 5.25" bays are tooless, some type of clips instead of regular screws. I'm wondering if anyone knows if they're suitable for mounting removable hard drive caddies in, or...

    Could this be anything other than a faulty card? tech help needed please!

    Dug around in the BIOS a bit, tried it with the ram set at CAS3, didn't help unfortunately. Also tried turning "PnP OS" to off, but that didn't help either. The only settings I have relating to the video adapter are AGP apeture size (set to 64mb) and "init primary display" which can be set...

    Could this be anything other than a faulty card? tech help needed please!

    Yup the G stands for integrated graphics, I'm fairly sure that the BIOS disables that if it detects a card in the AGP slot though, I'll check the BIOS settings though (going to back the memory timings back also) and see if there's anything there. Device manager looks fine, I've even compared...

    Could this be anything other than a faulty card? tech help needed please!

    Thanks for the suggestion, The RAM in my system is Kingston Hyper-X (have 4 sticks 256mb each). It's running at stock speeds, the only setting I changed in my BIOS is the CAS latency, it defaults to 3, but the RAM I have is CAS2, so I set it to 2. There are actually VERY few settings I...

    Could this be anything other than a faulty card? tech help needed please!

    Well, tested it with a different CRT monitor and still get the issue. Thought it was perhaps refresh rate related as the LCD runs at 75Hz vs 85 on my CRT's. Backed the CRT screen down to 75, even tried 60, but still get the problem. Any other suggestions? no matter how far fetched I'd be...

    Could this be anything other than a faulty card? tech help needed please!

    Strangely, I've been testing it out on another monitor for the last day or so, and haven't seen the problem occur nor be able to reproduce it. The monitor I'm using now is an LCD but with regular d-sub connector, the old monitor was a CRT one. Is it possible that the monitor could have...

    Could this be anything other than a faulty card? tech help needed please!

    Well, just tried the card in an AMD system, with a 400W power supply and same problem. Looks like it's the card, but anyone have any idea as to whether it could be a driver/windows issue? I'm leaning towards hardware issue because it's sporadic. Any more help would be massively appreciated...

    Could this be anything other than a faulty card? tech help needed please!

    Hmm thanks for that, I'm not sure what power requirements this card has. Although I'm not experiencing any lockups etc. as I believe is sometimes the case with an inadequate power supply. After a week waiting for an email from tech support, they've suggested I uninstall the driver, and...

    Thanks for the replies guys. I haven't had a card before this one (on this installation of windows), My bios is up to date, and so is windows. I've tried reinstalling also but didn't fix the problem. As far as the PSU goes, I've run my system with the bare minimum of components (only...

    Could this be anything other than a faulty card? tech help needed please!

    I have an AGP 6800GT, and I'm getting a weird and annoying issue with it. At random times, I'll hear windows (xp) make the "new hardware found" sound, my screen will flick black for a second, but I won't see any hardware wizard, or info balloon in the system tray. I can *sometimes* make it do...
