I started getting 100% GPU usage and no GPU clocks after installing 12.4, I think. I've spent 3 hours today uninstalling and reinstalling trying to narrow this down. Now I'm back on 11.9. However, I still have 100% GPU usage at desktop, though it takes a while to kick in. Totally flumoxxed, I...

I got a nice big WD640AAKS and since it seems to be much faster than my Seagate, I wanted to copy the OS over and try to boot off it. The problem is I moved a lot of files from my other hard drives to this one already. I tried using Acronis Disc Director to copy the entire thing over and make...

Did anyone ever come up with a definitive answer to this? I used to be able to go to 400 FSB on my e6400 fine, but then a few months ago it always started going to X1 PCI link width, and now nothing seems to help, when setting PCI frequency at 101 or something else used to. Since I mostly game...

So if you have a default 8800GT with the fan stuck at 29% until it hits 100c, you have nothing to worry about according to JacobF: "The 8800GT runs at 29% fan speed by default, it will increase when the the card deems necessary, usually this is over 100c. The card is rated for over this...

Post 'em if you got 'em. These KOs must be binned...This is on stock cooling with the fan auto adjusting. Oddly when I turned off the artifact tester and the thing just spun the fan kicked up to 60%... 719/1798/986.

Well, I got my EVGA 8800GT KO today and I couldn't be happier...Of course, I haven't tried it in Vista yet, I had so many bad experiences with my 1900xt (read, crash within 5 mins of trying to play a game) I have pretty much written off Vista for playing games. Anyway, this thing is such an...

Just curious, why do people choose to buy more expensive already overclocked cards, instead of just the cheaper vanilla version, and overclocking it yourself? Since there's now a pretty huge difference between say, an EVGA 8800GT at stock speeds ($270)and a Superclocked, (720 MHZ, $329!! at...

Despite the fact that the 8800gt is like $125 cheaper than the 1900xt I bought last summer (2006), I'll probably get one... Has anyone seen some benchmarks that included the 1900xt so I can make some comparisons? And if anyone wants a space heater, my 1900xt will be up for sale...

I'm trying to turn this old Acer (not that old, at least it has a Pentium M) with a dead screen into a media server/player hooked up to my hi-fi system. Can anyone think of any software that would let me manipulate what it's playing without using Remote Desktop and directly logging in? What...

I installed Vista on a entirely separate hard drive because I did not want the Vista bootloader on my XP drive, or any mingling of the OSes at all. To remind everyone, to do this right, you must have already installed Vista with your Vista drive as your system drive - that is, you installed...

I have a little problem. I am going to have to put my computer and hifi system on opposite sides of the room for space reasons and so need a way to get a 40 foot run of cable from my old prosumer sound card (Echo Mia) to my Arcam amp, which only has analog RCA inputs. Now my sound card has...

I have an Enermax LIberty 500w which is providing power to an e6400, p5b deluxe, 1900xt, four hard drives (2 PATA, 2 SATA) and a DVD-RW, plus two expansion cards and 3 120mm fans in my Antec P180 case and one extra 80mm I stuck in to cool the northbridge a bit. I'm looking for input from any...

Everyone knows Windows installations degrade after awhile. Now with Vista, you can watch it degrade in real time, with a cute little chart! Brought to you by the genuises at Microsoft, where we don't fix things, we give you cool new ways to watch them fall apart!

This is weird...I'm trying to figure out what could be causing it. I overclocked my e6400 to 3.2ghz, but did NOT overclock my 1900xt. I am using ATI Tray tool to increase the fan speed since I was already getting artifacts with the standard fan speeds. With my CPU overclock, my video...

I just about almost sent my second Samsung 204b back (the first had two lines of dead pixels), because when using the DVI connector, I would lose picture once in a while, and it got worse the longer the monitor was on. It would get to a point where it would just flash, you could see it drawing...

Anyone got some good fan speed settings for ATI Tray tool? I was playing Call of Duty 2 and started getting corruption...I figured out it was heat, even though I haven't overcloked my 1900xt. So I installed ATI Tray tool to adjust the fan... Anything over 70c seems to cause corruption. But...
