Turns out it was the video card... Grabbed a new one, and everything seems to be fine now, thanks everyone for your consideration

Unfortunately I haven't got another card handy to test, but I'm suspecting I'll need to pick one up to test... I can't imagine it being something else since I get no beep codes on POST. Now i can't actually see the POST, so I'm assuming its posting, but I suppose it could be a bigger issue...

Hi Everyone, I think I've got a problem with my video card, a Radeon 4870XT that I've had for about 8 months or so. I was on my computer last night, and it just all of a sudden turned off, almost like a power outage (with the exception that I did not lose power). So I turned my computer...

My problem with vista is that my system is a little dated (built about 3 years ago), so i have difficulty finding some drivers (LG Drive as an obvious example)... I generally don't have a problem with Vista, there are just some things I find annoying, although I agree that it is superior to XP...

Well, i just thought i'd screw around with some system restore points (which oddly enough I still had enabled, since i usually disable it as a resource hog), but it seems that an installation of AVG Antivirus caused my drive to stop functioning... going back to a system restore point directly...

Hi All, I have an LG 4163B DVD-ROM/Writer which up until today was working just fine and no problems to report. I was just about to load up a game which requires the disc in the drive and i get a notification that the disc wasn't found. I thought this was odd, and sure enough in "My...

Yes its certainly a weird situation... I just figured it was a problem for all users, and I was just indulging my curiousity in asking, but it seems I'm alone, haha.... I'm by no means a networking guru, so it could be a setting I have messed up or something, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to...

Well its not so critical that I need a UPS, its just my home computer. I have the latest firmware on it, and I can save the settings, but occassionally importing them doesn't work. The router will come back on when the power turns on, it just isn't allowing anything connected to it to...

Hi All, I've been noticing an annoying occurrence everytime the power flickers here with my router. It seems once the power comes back on and I boot up my computer I cannot connect to anything through the internet. I can still connect to the administration console through my browser, but...

For two days I've been hearing a sort of whirring noise that would go for about a second and come back about 2 seconds later. Originally I thought this was the HDD on its last legs, but I rebooted my computer to find this error message greeting me: "CPU Chip Fan failed or slow." Or something...

i was also running azureus... but i don't think i should have to close other programs to play games... i would prefer nvidia just fix the drivers

yeah, mine is running perfect again under 84.21's... sigh, yet another release I'll have to pass on... (also, my card is also new, but I had problems with my old 6600 as well with some of the newer drivers....) glad they're fixing all the SLI stuff, its just too bad its at the expense of...

I think i may just go back to 84.21 never had any problems with them

Asus A8N-E AMD Athlon 64 3800+ X2 2 GIG RAM Corsair Value Select (4x512MB; DDR3200) GeForce 7600GT Windows XP Home SP2 anything else?

I should also add, on this black screen I still have the mouse cursor, as responsive as ever, but clicking things doesn't seem to work.

Not sure if anyone else is having this problem, but I can't seem to get any of the drivers to work after some of the earlier ones. The last 5 or 6 releases of drivers have all had problems for me, but this one seems kind of stupid: Everytime I leave a game i get stuck with complete blackness...

Well, i got a new power supply, and put it in, and its doing the same thing. I wonder if the power button on the front of the case is faulty. Going to try another case and see if that makes it work.. it not, I would imagine there is something wrong with the motherboard.

Well, i remounted everything and took out the extra standoff, still doing the exact same thing. I am going to order a new PSU, since that seems to be the consensus of whats wrong. Any recommended brands? I've heard Fortran is good.

now that you mention it, i may have an extra standoff in there, gonna try that... thanks!

I'm having trouble with a build, and can't seem to fix it. Thought I'd ask here if anyone had any insight. Just upgraded my computer, and giving my mom the old, only problem is, i can't get it to turn on. Everything is in properly, and connected correctly (as far as I can tell). When i...

I seem to be having a problem with the new "official" drivers. Whenever I try to open ANY video in Windows Media Player, the video will start to open, but then the whole computer will restart. It happened directly after I installed the new drivers, and stopped happening when I switched back...

Having the same problem with these as the 77.72's. Whenever I play a video (in any player), it freezes my computer. I think i've have enough of the 77.XX series. Back to 71.89 for me

Only one CD Drive, no floppy drive(s), and memtest came back clean. I'm going to forego the reinstall though, since I figured out what was wrong with my computer in the first place, haha turns out I switched off DCOM Service Process Launcher when I went through my Services to fight the...

I'm having a bit of a problem with my Windows XP disc (at least I think thats the problem), i'm hoping someone can shed some light on it: I'd like to reformat/reinstall windows, but everytime I pop the disc in and reboot, when trying to boot from cd-rom it gives me this error: "Cannot Boot...

These drivers didn't work for me either. Everytime I tried to open a video it would take my CPU to 100% and hang. Going back to 71.89

This looks just utterly incredible so far! Great job!

Yes it will.. you just use the gold nipples instead of the mounting brackets

I'm just curious how you can add more fans to a case with a regular power supply. My power supply only has four 4-pin power connectors and i use one for cd-rom, one for HDD and one for video card, how can I run more than one extra case fan with only one connection left? Thanks

I've been extremely happy with my Zalman7000B AlCu cooler. its really quiet and keeps my system cool enough for my liking

WinFlash worked perfectly...

So if I put the bin file on a floppy, the bin file by itself is bootable?

I just tried installing the newest 64-bit drivers, and when I restart, I get a blank screen after the Windows XP Professional 64-bit loading screen, right before user signon. Anyone have any insight?

I recently bought a chaintech S1689 board, and AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (recently as in yesterday). I've been getting what I consider high heats (64degrees celsius) and was recommended I upgrade my bios just to be sure its not reading incorrectly. I downloaded the latest update to my BIOS, but...

I've been looking at getting a socket-939 chip and mobo, but the backs of the boards (i mean, the part that sticks out the back of the case, with all the plug-ins) don't look like they work with any conventional cases. I've been using tigerdirect.ca to try and put a system together, but all the...
