This driver suite caused sleep on my computer to malfunction; computer would sleep but upon waking no video signal was output. Reboots would often not fixed it; would have to discharge the capacitors on the mobo and then restart. Rolled back to 12.2 and installed 12.3 and it worked fine. A...

Same problem here w/ the u2410. I use shiftwindow to move my Chrome window back in place, and the desktop gadgets seem to revert to their original positions, but the windows on my main monitor get moved. Very annoying.

Just wondering if anyone has any advice on testing this. Completely new computer build, fresh Windows install, and I've been having some bad luck. Seagate drive was DOA, had it exchanged for a WD drive and it's fine now, but the computer keeps crashing to the desktop from Civ 5. The game will...

I was using a gtx 460 :T But same issue; the heatsink is very tall and there's clearance issues. I got it to fit, but it was not fun.

Just a quick FYI the MSI cyclone series of video cards has a VERY hard time fitting into this case. Just got one to go in w/ a Gigabyte H55N but it was NOT easy and there was much swearing. All the reviews I had seen about this case were talking about how it fit larger video cards and no one...

I ended up just installing the disks as singles and using Windows to make the RAID 1. Performance isn't spectacular but doesn't need to be and it works even if I uninstall a disk.

Also have this problem; knew about the magnifier fix will try some of the others. Yeah this is insane. :T Such a basic thing.

Those are some impressive builds; as many have said the precision and wiring are really impressive.

Yeah I did reset to "optimized defaults"... I have no clue why memtest was throwing errors. I've tested the bclk at 160, 170, 180, 190 and now 200 (memory at x6, CPU at x15) and it's passed 1 hour of linx now at 200 bclk with no additional voltage to the VTT or Vcore. Noooo clue what was...

Board passed 5 runs of burntest (max) at 180 bclk (6x RAM, 15x CPU) so it's probably not "just" the bclk that was causing issues. I'll keep testing and tweaking I guess until I figure it out but overclocking non-methodically the first time sort of makes it hard to pin down problems. I'll test...

Hmm, I figured that might be the case since the IMC is, well, integrated now. The RAM is actually 1600MHz 8-8-8-24 RAM and it'd be running at 170x8 or 1360MHz, so it's actually underclocked and shouldn't have any problems :) I asked someone at home to check for me and the system has passed...

I recently added another 4GB of RAM to my motherboard, so now I'm running 4x2GB of DDR3. I started getting random BSODs and crashes, but it's inconsistent. After running some tests in Windows at my OC'd settings using Linx, Prime95 and a memory testing program, it seems like there's an issue...

Well, 5 months later (has it really been that long?) I bought 4GB more of RAM and installed it. I flashed a new BIOS (if it isn't broken...) so had to redo my settings. The new BIOS won't allow for a x21 multiplier at all unless turbo boost is enabled, so I tried 20x175 and the system booted...

For the love of jebus where the hell are all those external PCI-E enclosures for vid cards and laptops we were supposed to get? ASUS? AARRG. This is a sweet mod though. *edit* Asus XG station http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XG_Station Arg.

I was replacing some regular SATA cables with 90 degree cables in my computer and must have accidentally reversed which drive was plugged into which SATA port. When Windows loaded up, my RAID 1 dynamic disk mirror was offline. BOTH disks were being detected, but one was saying it was offline...

I just built a core i5-750 system. Using a coolermaster HAF 922 w/ 12cm fan on the bottom intake and another 20cm fan on the side. They are IMO pretty quiet and move a lot of air and the air coming from them is nice and cool :) Here's the temps I was seeing: 3.5GHz @ 1.3 Vcore, stock fan full...

I agree; I went from a DFI lanparty to gigabyte 965p-DS3 to this. Not sure where DFI is now, but Gigabyte's features are definitely making them stand out. I am having problems with putting the computer to sleep sometimes, though, and some features like ErP (formerly EuP, some European...

Yeah the cooler master HAF 922 with an extra 20cm fan on the side is pretty ludicrous. 700rpm so they're quiet, but not silent. I wouldn't classify the noise as annoying but it's not silent. Unobtrusive? It's a shame they didn't include the extra fan, though, as I had to buy it, and it's made...

Just wondering what people have gotten their core i5-750 (or i7-860 if you prefer) up to on stock voltage. Mine has a stock vcore of 1.125v (as indicated in the BIOS) and I did ~80 runs of Linx at 3.5Ghz (167x21) and everything was fine. At idle it clocks down to 9x167 and something like 0.88v...

From HotHardware: Link: http://hothardware.com/Articles/WDs-1TB-Caviar-Green-w-Advanced-Format-Windows-XP-Users-Pay-Attention/ So, you were right, no idea what I was smoking before, but I guess for now it's pointless to the user other than higher reliability and possibly higher transfer...

Using Windows 7 so the partition creation shouldn't be an issue. Regarding AFDs, the only advantage is to the manufacturer then? It makes it "easier" to make larger drives because there's less wasted space on the disk going to overhead? I thought the 11% more "usable" space would be passed...

I know that, the part I'm wondering about is advanced format and why it was reducing "size on disk" previously but does not appear to be doing so now. I did not expect a 2TB disk's capacity to increase because it was an AFD, just "usable" capacity.

Advanced format as I understand it is a way to use 4KB sectors on hard disks instead of 512B sectors to store data. On my old motherboard, I attached 2 2TB WD EARS drives to the motherboard RAID ports, created a RAID 1 array, and then created a 2TB partition in Windows. The partition showed up...

I created a software based RAID 1 in Windows 7 on my Gigabyte P55A-UD4P. The drives are connected to the board's Marvell 9210 controller, but are set up as individual drives in the BIOS, not as a RAID array. On my old motherboard, a gigabyte 965p-ds3, the drives were on that motherboard's...

Yeah what I ended up doing is forcing everything to ENABLE. All the power saving features were on AUTO and it was not dropping the multiplier at idle. I will have to play with voltages more and see what kind of voltages I need for various clocks; right not I'm running 167x21 but it drops to...

Well, I just did a "test" degrade. AFter creating a VD with 2 2TB drives in RAID 1 with default settings on the Marvell controller, I initialized the new virtual disk and partitioned it in Windows. After doing this, I repeated the procedure from before: I degraded the array and then loaded...

Hmm, maybe I was a bit ambiguous; CPU-Z shows the multiplier as x21, but it does not say x21 (9-20) as some people's CPU-Z shots show. My question is, how do I get it to downclock to a 9x multiplier while overclocking? I Have EIST, C1E, and any other power saving stuff I can find enabled...

I was playing around with my new i5-750 and set it to 166x21 in the BIOS. This gives a 3.5GHz clock speed and everything was fine and dandy, I just noticed that in CPU-Z a lot of people show screenshots of it saying the multiplier and then in brackets (9-20), but my CPU-Z isn't showing that...

Thanks; in Win 7 the last time I degraded the RAID 1 array to two single drives, the disk management program gave me a warning message and said I could assign a different ID to that disk to mount it. It doesn't hide the drive, but the partitions are not available and the drive shows up as...

OK well, recently I upgraded my motherboard and my RAID 1 array went to crap. I am creating a new RAID 1 array and the drives are connected to the Marvell controller on my Gigabyte P55A-UD4P. There's a few options for this controller in the BIOS: RAID, AHCI or IDE. Right now I have it in...

Yeah I used those GSATA ports to make the RAID 1 array. When connected via regular SATA ports, the drives show up regularly as 1tb drives with a partition on there. When I connected the drives to the new motherboard's raid connectors and set it as "RAID 1" in the BIOS, the drive shows up in...

Uh oh... I don't know if I forced anything but... So if the new array's initialized I'm SOL? I'll try to put them as singles first and run something :T Thanks for the help guys. Arg. Lesson learned; I was misinformed about RAID 1!

Hmm, any idea if I hook the drives up to the intel controllers now if the partitions/data will still be there, or if they were wiped out by something the BIOS did? Or by me "initializing" the drive in Windows as GPT? If the data/partitions are messed up hopefully I can use a data recovery...

Do you happen to know if creating the RAID 1 array in the BIOS actually does anything to the information on the drives? I have absolutely no idea how intel raid works (it suckily was not included on the 965P-DS3 by Gigabyte) but I believe this P55A UD4P has it and I might want to use that...

I had a Gigabyte 965P-DS3 and recently upgraded to a Gigabyte P55A-UDP4. The controller on the gigabyte DS3 is not the Intel ICH, but I'm not using it on the P55A either; I believe it uses a Marvell controller. I hooked everything up to the new motherboard and fired up the BIOS, and set the...

Yeah that's what I get in the network status. I guess I will google more when I get home; if you have some links on what possible fixes there are that would help, but if there's a lot of options it indicates it's not an easy fix potentially. No 2nd LAN port and clock is ok I hope :) I'm...

I did run/try some "test" for GFWL and I passed everything (UPNP and "multiple connections" included). I didn't know I needed to set up more ports/firewall stuff in addition to that, since GFWL can log in fine on its own, I figured the "in-game" version would be ok as well. I guess the most...

I am late to the party on this but I wanted to post my thoughts: Having played through GOW2 on titan recently, Darksiders, and BAA on the PS3, I thought that they all had their strengths and weaknesses. Darksider's combat is too simplistic; mash square. BAA fixes this with timing, counters...

Well, I bought BS2 through Steam. I was a big fan of the first game, figured this would be great. GFWL is giving me the error message "cannot download your profile". I tried logging into GFWL through Windows and it works, but through Bioshock it isn't working. The first time I ran Bioshock...
