Wing Commander III (Damn I feel old!)

On a whim I tried a key (Windows 8 PRO) I got with a Dell system board replacement and it worked... Heh nice and easy after all.

Did a fresh install as my windows 8.1 finally gave up. It's pestering me to activate but I don't have a key. Can I use any of my Windows 8 pro keys? Some are OEM and some retail. Cheers!

Anyone out in Bangkok? Have these started appearing in Pantip Plaza yet?

Sounds like a job for Display Driver Uninstaller http://www.wagnardmobile.com/DDU/

Everything runs fine until you leave your PC for a few minutes and the screen powers down (depending on your power saving settings) When you move the mouse or keyboard to wake the screen up, it's flashing and shaking with lines all over it. All driver versions after 344.16 seem to be affected by...

Yep can confirm the display port bug still exists, pathetic showing from Nvidia. Does nobody have a display port monitor over there?

No nobody knows :rolleyes: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1840559

Works just fine though on 344.11 and 344.16 - Driver versions after that are no good.

Display corruption still occurs after display goes to sleep and wakes up (if it wakes up at all) Bug introduced 2 driver revisions ago. Aaand back to 344.11 I go. Display is LG 34UM95 on display port.

I think it's a SATA based one, it worked fine on another Z97 board though, is this documented somewhere? Thanks for the help.

So I bought a Kingston 240GB M.2 ssd to replace my aging Samsung 830, unfortunately I can't get it recognised in the BIOS. It absolutely ignores the M.2 socket, I have set all the bios settings to be correct (including the M.2 mode) I even removed a video card to see if that would help (PCI...

You could always contact these guys http://search.smarterglass.com/LM300WQ5-SLA1 Part number is LM300WQ5

Just out of interest what do you consider to be a fair price for your old Dell 30"? Friend has offered me €350 for my 3008, but I don't want to rip him off.

Aaagh looking at the pictures on the French forums is not making this easy. I've been offered 350 for my old (very slightly defective 3008FWP) and really going to bite on this.

You would be able to copy your existing installation to an image file, then create the raid array and then copy it back. Creating the array will wipe your disks though, so there will be some manual labour involved. In windows 8.1 (backup / System Image Backup) create an image onto an...

I picked up the z87 PRO yesterday and installed it this morning, I noticed my old Z77 sabertooth had one pin missing (bottom right) but this new board also has the top left pin missing. Is this normal? EDIT:- Nevermind i'm a dunce who shouldn't be allowed near a computer, I was looking at it...

However much I read, I still can't see any discernable difference between the Z87 deluxe and Pro except the extra LAN port. What am I missing? Edit:- Nevermind, the boards are now listed properly on Asus site, so the comparisons work. Not €70 worth of difference though IMO.

Don't get me wrong the 3 titan rig is amazing, but connected to one (22"?) monitor? Piss money away much? Hey you might be loaded but wow, just wow.:rolleyes: Ok it's a 30" but anyway my point still stands.

Runs to Stardock website to buy Start8, great customner support.

Just going with the flow, miserable times to be had with the via kt133 and kt266. Anything via you basically had to wait for the A revision to get anything remotely stable. Nvidia nforce2 was bliss compared to the kt266 it replaced. I cant even talk about my time with the 133 or i will start...

Thanks for getting back to me, seems the game I was trying to run doesn't have a profile. I guess Skyrim isn't popular enough? :rolleyes: Metro2033 now works ok though, i'm sure this tech will work great soon :D

So I bought the Asus Sabertooth Z77 yesterday, I thought I would make use of the integrated DP connection. So monitor is connected directly to the motherboard, my GTX680 is installed normally in PCI express x16. Latest drivers for both video cards installed, latest Lucid Virtu software is also...

Driver is on the CD, Intel Management Engine Interface

Wierd, I ain't seeing it. Wonder if it's because I am using Chrome. Oh well it's ordered anyway :D

Can you link me up to that video please?

I feel very sick right now, had something similiar but nowhere near as bad when I fixed my friends PC. It's been over 5 years now and I know it hasn't been opened, dreading the call.

Been tasked to fix up an old machine that is used for some video transfer. I checked it out and this needs to be replaced with something more modern. http://www.ebay.com/itm/MATROX-ORION-WINDOWS-FRAME-GRABBER-AGP-CARD-912-0101-REV-C-ORI-AGP-RGB-TESTED-/350498040944 It also has an S-Video...

You know why I need it, just gimme please :D

Not too much :eek:

Ì bought 2 GTX570 Direct CUII and the gap between them is minimal, therefore the top card gets very hot and very loud, very quick. I though about replacing he top cards cooler with the V3000F, it would have the double effect of creating a better gap between the cards. I guess what I am asking...

Would love some of those mullet wallpapers in 2560x1600 res :eek: Intel i5 and Radeon graphics to start with :D

I noticed that the fans have been arranged to bring in air from the outside of the case, I have set the fans in the opposite direction, sucking warm air out through the rad.

Could be inappropriate but do you have a pic of them in portrait mode? I just got 3 of these displays and would need to know how much I need to butter up the mrs before I present them :D

Wow an accurate report, I'm 38 and have my private xbox and PC for my "boys games" On the TV we have a Wii, PS3 and 360 and I play Little Big Planet, Mario etc with my 9 yr old girl. I also shield her from any content that I deem unsuitable, how about that!

Just thought I would update, I returned the card to the store and bought the Asus 6950 CU II instead. Much better and a bit of cash left over also ;)

Thanks for the replies gents, it's in an open box right now with plenty of airflow so I don't see why it goes so loud. What program can I use to manipulate fan speeds and stuff? EDIT: -Ok I found the stuff, it goes up to 64c within a minute or two of playing (dirt3) then the fan goes up to...

No it bloody well aint!! After a few seconds of gaming the fans ramp up to ear splitting level, transporting me back to 2006 and my first Xbox360. At least I can't hear the wifes hairdryer when I have got it on. Is this supposed to be normal? All the reviews bang on about how quiet it is...

Sorry wrong forum.
