OK so I had to get a new motherboard as my old one had 3 dead ram slots and overheated like a mofo, all is good now I have installed the new mobo, I didn't even need to reinstall windows, just a few drivers and i was good 2 go Until that is i found taht both of my 1TB hard drives were missing...

after I posted that I opened her up and redone the thermal compound and reseated, i also turned the fan around 180 and got the fan on the back of the case blowing outward, and the fan on the side blowing inward, and it now only goes up to 71c under load (acceptable in my books) Is there a way...

I think my PC may be getting a tad hot, the cpu under load reaches 110c and i can feel the side of the case is really really hot, I've not overclocked and have never done so Oh and there IS actually 16GB of ram in there as speccy says, windows only sees 8GB max edit: if i try to render, or...

My trusty 24" sony crt has started showing a green tint to everything, it's a lot fuzzier than it used to be and it's started making a whining noise at random times, I think it's time for a new screen. I tried the Dell u3011 but had to sell it as it had this stupid effect over the screen that...

doesn't matter now, neither graphics card is working and my pc's fucked itself

Not sure what's wrong, but 2 of the 3 screens aren't working, and nvidia graphics drivers for either graphics card won't install, the progress bar just sits there for around an hour, then it says it failed. Computer cost me £2000 fucking pounds, and I can't even use the piece of junk for what I...

guess having 3 screens hooked up 2 1 computer is not possible yet :(

OK so now I have them both installed, but the Quadro has an error message "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" If i disable the GTX 470 it works flawlessly so it's not the drivers.. or the card any help would be greatly appreciated.

i've found a vista 64bit driver, it installed and seems 2 be working, but now its korked both graphics cards, and i can only get a resolution of 800x600. see this is exactly the reason why macs win over pc's, wish i spent my budget on an imac now, as i should be working on this new city (i'm a...

Uuuugh this is a headache I really can't be dealing with right now. I bought an NVS 280 as a secondary graphics card to run my additional 2 screens (i have a 3 screen setup) I have a dell u3011 and 2 dell 2007fp's (i use the other 2 screens for work not gaming) Anyhow the graphics card...

OK so i followed some advice on the internet and created the partition WITHOUT formatting obviously, but now it says I need to format the drive in order to use it. Both hard drives do this when in raid or independently, How to access my data or shal i take my hard drives to a specialist, Maybe...

OK strange problem, and one that i can't find the solution to. I upgraded my ram from 1333mhz ddr3 to 2200mhz ddr3 (and from 6gb to 12gb). So i install the new ram, everything goes as it should until I noticed that I couldn't access my projects folder for work, it said the infamous death message...

My card gets used A LOT, but i need it for work, i use it for photoshop (openGL accelerated), 3dsmax 2011 and rendering, it gets used nearly 24 hours a day. FFS isn't there a graphics card around today that can last me more than 6 months, the only card I have had that lasted me a long time was...

It's only about 4 months old, it's a Palit GTX 470 (the version with 2 fans on) and it's running kool (i have one of those snazzy temperature controls on the front of my pc)

After 4 hours of searching the internet I have come to conclusion that i have a problem that no one else has ever had. In games or anything 3D i can see a really blocky wireframe around everything, it's kind of hard to explain so i'll post up a screeny Link Think it's time for a new graphics...

Thanks, after having a good look around i have bought... ASUS 1366 P6T6 WS REVOLUTION 6400MT/S motherboard Intel Xeon W3570 3.20 GHz 8MB 6.4GT/s CPU Noctua NH-U12P Special Edition SE1366 Fan/Heatsink and a Crucial SSD CT256M225, 256GB, SATA II, Hard drive disk Creative Sound...

On ebay i've seen some componants i like, but the CPU (xeon) is LGA 1336 and the motherboard is LGA 1366 (different sellers) are these same same socket and just a typo or are they different?

2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? £800 and yes 3) Where do you live? UK 5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model, 1200watt modular power supply, e-atx XClio windtunnel case, GTX 470...

Could someone recommend me a good motherboard, cpu and ram for a computer i will be using for rendering very high quality lightmaps and texture bakes (1024x1024 images) and 3D design (for real time graphics) I use 3DSMax 2011 (subscription), Photoshop CS3 (will be upgrading to CS5 soon)...

I've had one of these for about 3 weeks now, got it because the nearly brand new 3008wfp ordered from dell died on me, and they sent me a u3011 as a replacement, It's a nice monitor, although i don't really notice much difference in image quality between the 2, the black seems a little darker...

I can't seem to find any solutions, I have a dell u3011 30" in the middle, and 2 Dell 2007FP's as the sides. The main screen and one of the sides is in my GTX470 and the other side is on the internal graphics card. I only really play Source based games on my PC, I play all games in windowed...

I ran a virus scan with nod32 and spybot s&d and it turned up no results

No, apart from the fact I am not in a good mood anyway (as stated in the original post) your response was not favoured, you could have posted something useful, then told me it was in the wrong section at the end of the post, I didn't see where else to post it and for some reason I read this as...

After lurking here for a good few years now, I can tell you that your attitude will not get you very far in this community, and if you carry on the way you are I'm sure one of the mods will be more than happy to ban your grumpy arse, Also before posting please take a look at the rules of this...

Thanks for your help, I'll try your solution, you never know it might actually fix the problems mentioned above, +1 for constructive post of the year :rolleyes:

OK I have some problems that I CANNOT fix, The first one prevents me from typing anything long, sometimes as I am typing commands randomly execute and windows pop open (more often than not causing me to lose what ever I have typed), now I am not an angry person but after typing up a 4 page...

I've always wondered what actually makes the noise?

Ah ok, i though only old skool hard drives made that sound

yeh there working nice and fast otherwise, it could be a clicking noise. It sounds a bit like this (but not quite as loud) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFtJneGfeZk

I purchased 2 new 1TB hard drives (got them both in raid) for my new PC, now i have installed windows and all my things i need for work on, but when ever i copy or load something up they make this little ticking sound (sounds like when you use a terminal from Fallout 3 or a really old apple...

My PSU is a 250w psu joke... It's a 1000w modular PSU OK I've put the 9800GTX in and it works fine, I've cleaned the fans and the card is running at 80c when at full load (apparently normal for the card) And i will be upgrading the system in the next week or 2 (AMD Phenom II X6 1090T, New...

I can't for the life of me figure out why 3D programs and games have these weird graphics corruption. The effect starts out not so bad, then gets worse and worse then the computer freezes up and I can't even do the 3 finger salute to get outa it, I have to hard reset. I managed to get a...

I've got the same thing with my 2 Dell 1708's

I have purchased a Palit GTX 470, this model has 2 fans on, It also has 2 DVI connectors, 1 display port connector and one HDMI connector (full size). I have 2 x Dell 1708fp and 1 2408wfp. I want to put these as a 3 screen setup but when i plug them all in (the 2408wfp is on the display port...

Yup that'l be the bit, thanks (now let's hope it works)

I have searched and searched Google with no results, can someone point me in the right direction to get a replacement power board for my 2408wfp?

OK so i got the 3 screens all working, the gtx 470 is the main card but how does one stretch the game view over all 3?
