    HTPC HDD gone crazy, videos are all mixed together...

    I had the exact same thing happen as well. It turns out I was using a PCI ATA card and either the card was bad or the cable, but I chucked them both. I did a scan and it found all of the correct movies and works fine to this day.

    wireless G network ok to stream video?

    I run my HTPC with a 54g connection and don't even notice. I run mostly divx movies with 5.1 AC3 audio. I also run DVD's when I haven't had a chance to rip them yet and they work flawless as well. I get 4 bars all the time since I added a cheap $10 antenna from newegg. I haven't tried any HD...

    Help! Need Audigy 2 ZS Driver CD

    I had the same problem a year or so ago. I can't remember where I found the .iso, but I did eventually download it. PM me and I can send you the .iso. Vlad Found a link: Audigy Driver Disk

    Zen Micro

    I just got one yesterday and love it. I did a ton of research before buying and there are many threads about the headphone jack issue. Go to creative.com and check out their discussion boards. If within 90 days, you can send it to creative to get it fixed for free. They have been doing those...

    Should I get Cat 5e or Cat 6?

    They are basically the same, but the Cat 6 is better quality and operates at a higher frequency. All of your other equipment will work just fine with either one. Gigabit speeds work just fine with Cat 5e, so unless the price is about the same, you could save money and go with cat 5e. My .02...

    Can you run a computer without a video card?

    I just tried going headless on my old Intel 820 motherboard and it worked as well. So, far, I haven't heard of an Intel chipset based motherboard that this doesn't work on. I don't have anything older than this machine, but most people are running faster machines than a 800 MHz machine anyway...

    Can you run a computer without a video card?

    Just to clarify my earlier post. Neither of my machines have either onboard video or a video card. I had a video card in it to install windows and set it up, but just took the card out and booted it. Also, as I said, Windows 2000 would not allow either machine to boot and the only windows...

    Can you run a computer without a video card?

    I currently run 2 headless computers, one running Windows 2003 server and one with Windows XP. And yes, it does matter what OS you have. Anything before Windows XP will not boot. Any motherboard in the past 3-4 years should handle it just fine. And no, I don't have server boards either...

    24 pin mobo power connector?

    I just built a s939 system that had a 24 pin ATX and my PSU only had a 20 pin ATX. Before I did anything stupid, i looked in the manual and it shows to leave 2 pins on each side so the 20 pin plug does right in the middle. So, he probably has the same thing. This was a MSI board.

    FS: EVGA GeForce 6800 LE (ultra) - $325

    This is an EVGA GeForce 6800 Ultra AGP that was sold as the LE model at both ZZF and newegg back a few months. Physically, they are identical to the Ultra and I have updated the bios for Ultra speeds and it runs no problem. I have overclocked it to 425/1125 just fine, but didn't want to push...

    FS: GT701-WG - DSL modem - $30 shipped

    I moved to an area where I can't get DSL, so I am selling this modem. It has 4 ethernet ports as wells as a 802.11g wireless connection built in, so you won't need another switch or anything to setup your network. This comes standard with Qwest DSL packages, but its a universal modem and will...

    420gb! Cools things to do with it?

    I currently have 7 drives in my gaming/storage machine and haven't partitioned any of them. I used to break them up all nice and have music on one partition, games on another, etc. But, then a bunch of games would come out and I would fill up my game partition, yet have 10 GB left on the music...

    420w PSU enough for 6800Ultra?

    I agree, I am running my GF6800U with an A64 3200+, 15k Fujitsu scsi, and 6 ide hd's. All of this is running off of an Antec 400 watt PSU with 18A on the 12v rail. So, I would definitely think you can run it on much less than a 480 watt PSU, as long as its not a $25 CompUSSR brand one. Vlad

    How accurate is SMART disk monitoring?

    I just had a 200GB WD drive do this on bootup as well and RMA'ed to to WD. They have an advance RMA system where they send out the drive and you have to return the old one in 30 days. I also didn't have any clicks or errors other than that SMART error, but I wasn't about to lose 200GB. So, I...

    300GB Segate Hard drive for $107 after MIR

    I got the 400GB Seagate from CompUSSR a few weeks ago and it says Feb 2006. It sounds like they have some database issues with their website, but I am still waiting for an official response from Seagate on this issue. My part number on the box also doesn't match the part number on the drive...

    5400 rpm HD fast enough?

    I actually just found an old 13GB maxtor and put it into my HTPC. I had a 200GB drive in there, but I wanted all of my storage in my computer so I just copied the OS (win 2k3 server) to the small drive and I haven't noticed a difference yet. I thought it would load slower, but it actually...

    HL2 CD Key HELP!!!

    I have the same issue with an ATI HL2 voucher. They want the f'ing receipt. I'm sorry, but I don't keep the receipt for a frickin' video card I have already gotten rid of because Valve took too damn long to come out with the game. So, their advise was to buy the game again. Wow, great...

    So, it finally happened...

    Well, you go through the "Forgot your account name" part and it asks if you remember you Account name or your CDkey. If you enter your cdkey, it will email you your account info. Well, I do all that and no email comes. My email hasn't changed, so they are not sending out the damn email. So...

    So, it finally happened...

    This isn't correct. I have the ATI card with the key right in front of me and when I try to start a new account, it says the key is already tied to an account and there can only be one account to each key. Also, I have hosted my own email for the past 2 years without issue and when I try to...

    can i get hl2's 5.1 to play on my av710?

    Not sure if I am alone or not, but the surround sound on HL2 is dreadful. When someone is talking and I turn around, I don't hear a thing. Environmental sounds work at a low level in the rear speakers, but for the most part, I only get 2.1 sound. I have an audigy 2 ZS and it works perfectly...

    So, it finally happened...

    I just had this happen as well. I first installed Steam about a year ago and had to reinstall windows and now I can't login. I have only 1 email address that I have ever used in the past 5 years, but I never receive an email when I type in the damn CD key. This is so BS. Any other game, it...

    HL2 and +r_fastzreject

    I think you need to look at a calender. In case you just woke up from a 7 month coma, the R300 series isn't the latest series and they certainly didn't create default settings for the r400 series by looking at the r300 series. The FX series doesn't have this enabled but the 6800 series does...

    HL2 and +r_fastzreject

    So, even after the millions and millions of dollars that ATI has given Valve, you think Valve just plain forgot to enable this great tweak? Sounds a little fishy to me. If its disabled by default, theres usually a reason for it. Especially when its for the company that is paying your bills...

    I have seen that only after changing the video settings without restarting the game. Once I restarted the game (not steam), it went back to normal. Same thing for CS:Source.

    Got my Evga 6800 LE

    Mine came like yours and I had to contact ZZF to get a new bios from EVGA. They got a batch in with the wrong bios and all it needs is a flash. Or you could check out the following threads and try one of ultra bios to get better overclocks. Mine is now clocked at 436/1138 and runs as cool as...
