    Installed Omega 7.12 drivers - major problems

    Anyone else got any thoughts/advice? :) Those beeps are bugging me.

    Installed Omega 7.12 drivers - major problems

    I've completely checked everything and I can't see anything loose. Is it worth taking my RAM out and reseating it to eliminate it? I could also disconnect my HD to try that I guess. I honestly don't think these beeps are indicative of a big problem, but the not knowing is bugging me :mad:

    Installed Omega 7.12 drivers - major problems

    I really don't think it's the card as it does it whether it is in or out. Could going back to the default BIOS settings cause any damage to anything?

    I'm still getting the 2 beeps(very close together) despite trying a bunch of different things. Also, perhaps worryingly, when booting up the system is completely bypassing the hardware scan and going straight to the Windows XP logo :confused: I''ve looked inside the case and I can't see...

    Installed Omega 7.12 drivers - major problems

    The card seems to be in fine, before I installed those Omega drivers I wasn't getting the beeps. I have downloaded and installed the ATI Catalyst 7.12 drivers and I'm still getting those beeps. Maybe it's something I can fix in the BIOS? :confused:

    Installed Omega 7.12 drivers - major problems

    I got a Sapphire Radeon X1950 Pro today, installed everything and all was well. I played a game(Pro Evolution Soccer 2008) and noticed it was a little stuttery on the highest settings so decided to go download the highly recommended Omega 7.12 drivers from Omegadrivers.net. I installed...

    Ordered an X1950 Pro - couple of questions

    I just opened up Driver Cleaner Pro, and it is version 1.2 which I assume is a couple of years out of date now. Problem is, I can't seem to find an updated version :confused: All I can find is a version you have to pay $9.99 for here - http://www.drivercleaner.net/ I don't know if such an old...

    Ordered an X1950 Pro - couple of questions

    I switched from ATI to Nvidia a couple of years ago just by running driver cleaner then installing all the Nvidia stuff and had no problems. Like you though, I want to make sure everything is right. I know 450w is recommended, but I have been told(here actually) that my Seasonic S12 430w...

    Leadtek 6600GT fan problem

    In the last couple of weeks I have noticed a bizarre noise coming from the inside of my case, that sounded like a car engine or something. It only happened on startup so when I switched the machine off and restarted, all would be well. In the last few days though it has started doing it out of...

    Question about CPU speed

    It says so in System Info For Windows, here's a screen capture:- I know absoloutely nothing about overclocking so I was thinking if I got my speed up to 3Ghz then it couldn't be considered as so as that is it's maximum speed. I hope that makes sense . Thanks for the link - I'll take a...

    Question about CPU speed

    ...and perhaps a lame one at that, but if you don't ask you don't get :) My Athlon 64 3400+ runs at 2.2Ghz, but according my system info it can run at a top speed of 3Ghz. Can I manually up the speed myself via the BIOS or whatever? I'm getting an X1950 pro video card(AGP) and I'm thinking...

    Could I run an X1950 pro(AGP) with my Seasonic S12 430w PSU?

    I'm upgrading my 6600GT(see my other thread) and was gonna go for either a Leadtek 7600GT or a Sapphire 2600XT but this one is on special offer for £100 which is very reasonable. Only problem is, I don't have the funds to buy a new PSU on top of this. I've read a 450w+ one is recommended, and...

    Upgrading my 6600GT - recommendations?

    I would love to buy that one, but being as it's after Christmas I just don't currently have the money to get that and the new PSU(my current one is 430w, it needs 550+) to run it.

    Upgrading my 6600GT - recommendations?

    Actually, just read through some reviews on the 2600XT and it seems there are a lot of driver issues, i.e ATI don't make up to date drivers for it etc :(

    Upgrading my 6600GT - recommendations?

    Thanks for your replies :) It now looks like it's between the Leadtek 7600GT and the Sapphire Radeon 2600XT. It seems the 2600XT is more powerful, but like I say - I'm a bit iffy about going back to ATI. Would the 2600XT run OK with my specs? They are as follows:- MSI MS-6741 Athlon 64...

    Upgrading my 6600GT - recommendations?

    Thanks, that might be worth thinking about :) I've had problems with ATI cards in the past though, and changing from Nvidia back to ATI would mean I have to clean out the drivers. It's worth it though if the card is even better.

    Upgrading my 6600GT - recommendations?

    My Leadtek Nvidia 6600GT has served me really well for the last 2 and a half years, but it is now starting to struggle with some of the new games around. I bought this machine just before PCI Express came on the scene so it has to be an AGP card I upgrade to. Ideally I want one that will save...

    Gonna upgrade from 1GB to 2GB - should I go for Crucial?

    Awesome - thanks for all the info :) I'll probably go with the recommended Crucial sticks, I know they should be fine and stable and it should be quite a difference in speed/quality from what I currently have :)

    Gonna upgrade from 1GB to 2GB - should I go for Crucial?

    I do a lot of music recording and 1GB just isn't cutting it anymore, particularly with some of the resource hungry plugins I tend to use. I know little about RAM but I did a system scan via the Crucial UK site and it recommended 2x 1GB of DDR PC2700(CT12864Z335). I currently have 2x 512MB...

    Bizarre CPU fan problem and possible solution

    Bizarre CPU fan problem and possible solution

    How would I use the cable ties? Put them in between the fins? Sounds like a promising idea but I'm just wondering how you would suggest I do it.

    Bizarre CPU fan problem and possible solution

    No, the angle of the fan blowing into the silver fins is what's causing it. Like I said, I've been told not to cover those fins under any circumstances as I'll have a heat problem on my hands. So I'm pretty stumped now.

    Bizarre CPU fan problem and possible solution

    I've been told covering the fins is a bad idea as they are what dissipate the heat - is this true? Pretty new to all this as you can tell.
