I requested another RMA # three days ago. On the third day after no response I called Gigabyte and the customer service rep insisted this issue was normal (even though I told him it didn't wobble before), but if I didn't like it I should be able to fix it myself. Supposedly the shield part...

Does anyone think I should fight with Gigabyte over this? First, my PC stopped powering on - no fans, no lights, no post screen, nothing. After ruling out a problem with the power supply and power button, I shipped the motherboard back to Gigabyte for repair since it's still under warranty...

Well I just installed Windows 10 on a second partition on my machine. I can now dual boot in either 7 or 10, and I have confirmed this issue does not exist on 10. So that tells me this has to be a driver issue.

So far it seems anyone not reporting trouble is using two non-EVGA cards for SLI. I would be curious to know if anyone with EVGA cards in SLI and a third card for PhysX can boot up without this issue. Whoever makes the PhysX card seems to be irrelevant to the problem. I was using an ASUS...

Also - I should elaborate that the two GPUs I'm using for SLI are EVGA Titan X's. It might be an important detail that it's EVGA since it doesn't seem like anyone else posting is having this issue - but I found a few people on the EVGA forums and elsewhere reporting this problem and so far...

Well I scrutinized the BIOS again and can't find anything that would have any effect like this on the PCIe lanes. For now I've created a shortcut where if I double click it, it will instantly disable then enable the GTX 750 card in Device Manager. This will fix the issue until my next boot, as...

Right. The lanes run at 16x/16x/8x. It is interesting to hear others aren't having this problem. I guess I will double check the BIOS. (I tried a few options in there before starting this thread, but nothing changed.)

Thanks for checking Wirk. So as long as your configuration continues to show your GTX 970 as a dedicated PhysX card after you reboot then yeah - sounds like your setup works just fine. I'm also using two Titan X's as well. Was planning on switching out my third card for a GTX 950 Ti...

So I'm the only one running SLI with a third GPU for PhysX? :confused:

I tried asking this on the Nvidia forums but surprisingly cannot get a straight answer. I'm wondering if anyone else out there is using three video cards - two in SLI and one for PhysX - without any issues with the PhysX card being recognized. I can dedicate the third card (a GeForce GTX...

Thanks for the suggestions. My Xbox is connected by HDMI but it is currently off - maybe there is something going on that makes my monitor think it's receiving a live signal. I'll experiment a bit and see if I can improve the situation.

I love this monitor except for one thing - it is constantly switching from DisplayPort (which I am currently using) to HDMI (which I am not). Basically any slight change in my PC's display amounts to a good excuse for this monitor to switch such as booting, rebooting, sleep mode, etc. and it is...

Would anyone know how to prevent this monitor from auto-switching its inputs? It's the only thing about it I find truly annoying so far. If I have multiple devices plugged into it, it will auto switch to something else if it (mistakenly!) thinks I've powered down the PC I'm currently using.

Mine arrived today from Amazon US and I've been playing around with it all day. No real complaints so far, but that bright LED shining into my eyes had to go - so I covered it with black electrical tape and then a decal I made of the PHILIPS logo. Currently I'm using the VGA and HDMI inputs...

I have a question regarding the stand. Would anyone who already owns this monitor be able to measure theirs for me and provide me it's length and depth? Much appreciated.

I appreciate the tip. That sounds like a viable solution at least for that issue.

This is the first I've heard of these issues, and they might drive me even more insane than some of the other concerns people have posted. Are others having their windows resize like this when they turn their monitor off and back on? And do you really have to freaking hold onto the power...

Here's the full rambling response from Amazon to my inquiry about availability after I preordered mine. There is a mention of it being in stock May 1st (which I'm taking with a grain of salt). From the tone, you would think I was furious with them - but all I did was politely ask a simple...

I got an answer but I have a funny feeling they never even read my question. Two hours later I received back an 11 paragraph (yes - 11!) apology with statements like: Paragraph 2 - "I'm sorry about this delay - we certainly didn't expect that this would happen." Paragraph 11 - "I hope...

I just emailed Amazon this question. I'm waiting to hear back from them... Hello. I noticed this monitor is no longer available on your site as a Prime purchase directly through Amazon. Could you verify for me that this order is still good and I can expect to receive this item within the...

I'm surprised it's not adjustable. (I was certain I read elsewhere that it was.) Well... guess I'm getting the Philips then. An adjustable stand was the only thing the Seiki had as an incentive for me to buy it.

Do we know what the minimum/maximum height is for the Seiki with the adjustable stand?

Looks like the monitor's response time can be lowered by using "SmartResponse," but I assume there's a downside to this. Would anyone know what that caveat might be?

I personally see nothing wrong with wanting to do this. I have an old beige case myself that I've been musing about modding for years to accomplish the same thing. I agree it won't necessarily save you money, but I think some naysayers are missing the point. Personally I don't want my...

Yep - ironically while all this was going on I ordered a fan through FrozenCPU as well. They charged my credit card but never shipped it. I ended up disputing the charge since they wouldn't answer their phones or emails. I had not heard they were sister companies but the experience was...

Yesterday I did email the editors of Maximum PC about my experience since they feature Smooth Creations so often in their articles. (And I copied Jim in to boot. :) ) After that, the next 24 hours got a little crazy. Late last night Jim emailed me to say the panels shipped and I would be...

Wanted to share this to see if anyone has had any recent business dealings with Smooth Creations, good or bad. Last September I decided for my next project I would contact them about custom-painting my new case. Nothing too fancy - just a solid bright red. The CEO Jim Saling replied back...

Well I got this today at Best Buy and just hooked it up. Set up was super fast and, for anyone who may interested, the Nintendo DS easily connects to it. Haven't had a chance to use my laptop yet, but my other computer (either XP or 98) connects just fine. Looks like this router will suit me...

Thanks, ScYcS. I've been considering different routers, and I think I'm going to go with this one based on what you've said.

Thanks for sharing your opinion ScYcS. I can't seem to find another review of this router anywhere! I was wondering if you would be able to answer a few questions? (1) Do you know if this router handles file-sharing (like bit torrent) at a reasonable speed? A lot of routers slow down to a...
