The Lepa 1600W PSU would be a great start in a new rig I plan to build soon! NA

For sake of argument, let's say the virus trashed the files, changing data, etc. I don't think you'll have much luck finding software that can repair a file that had data changed. More than likely, you would need to restore the files from a state prior to being corrupted. Having said all of...

Just used the code today.. it's still good. Thank you for sharing, Op!

If you've never played a game called Dixit before, I highly suggest giving it a closer look (one of the games on sale). It's incredibly fun, the psychology of the folks you play with is fascinating, and the artwork is quite lovely.

Bad news... I made a purchase for one of those 800Ds last night around midnight-0100 PST. I just got an e-mail a couple hours ago stating that: ::grumble:: Hopefully some of you have better luck than I. I was really looking forward to a new case.:mad:

Dangit, Op, I just jumped on an 800D.. thanks a lot for playing a party in separating me from my money... I have been using the same full tower case since 2003.. I suppose a new case will be nice! :D

No biggie.. just sparking an intergalactic war.

I can see where you're coming from a bit better now. So in your instance, piracy was a huge issue. As far as piracy goes in a commercial environment, wouldn't you deny support to those who called in and obviously weren't paying customers? Secondly, wouldn't the loss of support and updates be...

I mean no disrespect or to make light of your situation, but to say that the company collapse was due to piracy.. wouldn't you have to assume that every single pirated copy equated to a lost sale? Or in other words, if folks didn't pirate the CAD software, they would have purchased a copy...

Awesome! Glad it worked out for you. Since someone said that from experience VNC supported a higher resolution, I figured that the machine being remoted into was the limiting factor, not allowing VNC to go higher. I agree though, I thought a driver update was a bit of a longshot, but still...

You have a point there. Since these are hand-me-downs, I could see them being a potential value to the right buyer with the right environment that can make use of them.

Does it have a generic video driver? Perhaps updating that might make more resolutions available..? Just a thought, but first thing I'd probably try.

Couldn't they make decent terminals for an environment that uses virtual desktops?

I really like the RAMdisk feature.. that is a boon to gamers. The secure erase is also a great feature for those who care about privacy. I also dig the enhancements to the overclocking tools making them more centralized (that OC panel looks killer)!

DarkCyber, sorry I didn't reply sooner. I'm glad you were able to figure out the firmware update, even though it didn't effect the issue. Regarding the USB issues, I suppose it is possible that it could be a contributing factor. Apparently, one of the devices using the USB bus is causing...

This is a shot in the dark, but what kind of SSD are you using? I ran into a strange issue with my girlfriend's laptop. I had installed an ADATA SSD in her laptop a few months ago. A couple weeks ago, we took it apart to clean out fans, heatsinks, etc. Once it was put back together, it...

Haha.. this sounds strangely familiar. Now if they'd only add a button to "shake up" the recommendations if you don't dig what's currently being recommended. I'm looking at you, Roku...

In addition to Prime95, if you have multiple sticks of memory (lets say 1,2,3,4) you could physically remove a pair from the PC, for example 2 and 4. Boot up, reproduce issue. Power down, install sticks 2 and 4, remove 1 and 3. Boot up, reproduce issue. That might help cut to the chase a little...

Another thought occurred to me. Do you have a different video card you could swap in (not ATI) or even bypass it and utilize onboard video to see if the problem will reproduce? Might be worth a shot since that wouldn't be time consuming to try, and might lend you another clue.

Well, that's lovely. I didn't realize that dxdiag in Windows 7 removes the buttons. I just replicated what you described on a Win7 machine here. I think it might take some research to figure out how to do that, if it is possible. I'd like to defer to the wisdom of other forum members in that...

Here is a visual for you:

When in dxdiag, you should find a Display 1 tab, Display 2 tab, etc (1 for each monitor). When you access those tabs, there should be a section entitled "Direct X Features". You'll find three buttons that say "disabled" next to: DirectDraw Acceleration: Enabled Direct3D Acceleration...

Have you attempted a system restore from well before the issue occurred? I have trouble suspecting the video card at this point in time without more evidence of that being the issue (unless I missed something).

Your issues reminded me of something odd I came across on machines I support, which are Dells, but several years old. Essentially, when fast forwarding certain videos that used the WMP API, the video would just CTD. Since a CAD application is graphics intensive, I would recommend a similar...

At least they're moving away from XP prior to April, 2014. ;)

Be sure to also suspect a faulty NIC. If you have a spare NIC, you could disable the old and monitor the results with the new. I've also seen duplex mismatches (half/full/auto) cause performance issues. Goodluck!

You don't want Microsoft to make any condoms.. they'd just be full of holes.

They're great products at a great price, and I appreciate these giveaways.

Galaxy has great performance for your dollar!

AMD made Radeon's a competitive product once again.

To get back on topic, though, I'm kind of glad that people are researching some of these concepts, such as democracy. Meanings have a way of changing over time due to popular thought, culture, media, etc. In one sense, I find it encouraging that people might be taking an interest in politics. I...

I would say that the debate over the balance of state power/federal power have always been an issue in this country. For example, during Andrew Jackson's presidency, he saw himself as a sort of "voice of the people" that wanted to run the corruption out of Washington. One of the major changes he...

Galaxy seems to have positioned themselves as pioneers in the competitive arena of desktop video cards, and seem to provide great products at great prices. That's [H]

Goodluck! Let us know how it goes.. I like the STEP because the person that updates that apparently takes a lot of time to test mod compatability, the game looks great, and they try to stay true to the "lore" of the game when selecting mods (i.e. no "My Little Pony" dragons). If you run into any...

I highly recommend taking a look at this guide.. it has recommended settings for Nvidia and AMD control panels. I used to have huge issues with crashing to desktop and visual anomalies (then I took an arrow in the knee-just kidding), but after removing all my add-ons and following this guide, it...

Because I want Galaxy to have my babby.

The biggest thing is the well equipped cooling solution to aid with overclocking. My current card is an MSI, and I've been very happy with its price and performance.

Am I the only one that just wants to friggin' bomb rush through all of those boxes? :D

Have you considered enabling QoS on your router to allow your streaming applications priority? This would be a different way to solve the problem if your main goal is to not allow other apps to sap bandwidth from the applications you care about.

Before doing all of this troubleshooting with the tcp/ip stack, etc. have you disabled the original NIC, and installed a spare NIC card laying around into a PCI/PCIX slot and checked to see if you can reproduce the issue? I do understand that you tried a USB ethernet adapter which didn't work...
