    DVD drive won't recognize discs

    I updated the firmware. Nothing. I've also replaced the data cable. Tried it in multiple SATA ports (both 3gb/s and 6gb/s). Set the SATA ports to IDE and ACHI, no difference. I'm about to give up and just order a new DVD burner. I know they're super cheap, but I dislike having to replace...

    DVD drive won't recognize discs

    I had already installed Windows 7 on my old hardware a few days before I switched over to the new motherboard/cpu. My new mobo doesn't have any IDE ports, and one of my hdd's is IDE. So I wanted to install Win 7 on my SATA drive and transfer over my IDE drive stuff. This is why I installed Win 7...

    DVD drive won't recognize discs

    Update: I tried booting to the dvd drive from bios (using clonezilla disc) and it failed to boot to it. It made this repeating spinning sort of sound, displayed black screen for about 20 seconds, then proceeded to boot Win 7 from the hard drive. The drive worked fine on my old hardware, then...

    DVD drive won't recognize discs

    I just upgraded my motherboard/cpu and am using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I was having some trouble booting up my SATA hard drive with Win 7 already installed, but I got it working after switching the SATA mode in bios from AHCI to IDE. Everything seems to be working except for my DVD...

    4870 IceQ4+ vs stock 4890 cooling

    I'm looking at upgrading to either a 4870 or a 4890. The performance differences between the cards is so slight that with my specs and resolution they will be irrelevant. What I'm interested in is the cooling differences. This is the 4870 I'm looking at, HIS IceQ4+...

    ATI 4850 Overheating

    I bought a VisionTek 4850 a few months ago and have always had somewhat of an overheating problem. I set the fanspeed to 60% when idle and 75% when gaming. Even at 75% the card's temp when playing games like CoD4 and Fallout 3 is upper 70's low 80s. But during the past few days the card keeps...

    How long does Arctic Silver last?

    Isn't there a period of time before the thermal paste becomes particularly effective. Like a few days or something?

    How long does Arctic Silver last?

    How do I mix it back together? It seems like it would just smear everywhere. I kept it lying horizontally on its size. Mine is in a little push tube, theres no bottle or way for me to keep it pointing down really.

    How long does Arctic Silver last?

    I have an E6300 at stock and my core temps have been around 50C idle, although recently with the colder weather they've dropped closer to 40C. This still seemed a little bit hot, so I recently reapplied Arctic Silver. I used the same Artic Silver when I first applied it 2 years ago. I think I...

    CoD4 framerate drop during menu

    wow that worked. thank you so much, I was beginning to lose hope. Is there really no other solution than this? It seems like there should be a fix or a general permanent solution for it. And any idea on what causes this problem?

    CoD4 framerate drop during menu

    When I got the 4850 I uninstalled the drivers first, installed the card, then installed the 8.7 drivers. The game has been running fine for a month. I haven't really changed any settings, and now suddenly I'm having this fps problem. I've searched around and haven't been able to find any...

    CoD4 framerate drop during menu

    I've restarted it a couple of times, no dice. I'm using catalyst 8.7 drivers and CoD4 has worked fine on those so far. I don't think I've done any major updates or changes since I played it the other night. Nothing running in the background. I really have no idea what is causing this or how to...

    CoD4 framerate drop during menu

    I got a 4850 about a month ago and have been playing CoD4 heavily since I can now play it with high graphic settings. All of a sudden when I started it up today, the fps kept dropping during the main multiplayer menu. My fps keeps dropping down to 2 fps for a couple of secs, goes back up to >40...

    Asus Soundmax Onboard Audio stopped working

    I have Windows XP Pro SP3 and the other night it kept bugging me to install an update, which I did and restarted the comp. Since then my sound is not working. When I go to the Sounds and Audio Devices under Control Panel all the options are grayed out. Soundmax is still listed under the Device...

    4850 getting enough power?

    I bought a 4850 a couple weeks ago, seems to be working fine. I am still unsure if I am giving it enough power however. I have a Corsair HX520 which I know has enough power, but I'm just unsure of the cable I used to connect the video card and the psu. The card came with a 6-pin cord that had 2...

    Computer won't start after updating bios

    I didn't see that in anything I read about updating the bios. That includes the step-by-step instructions on the Asus support site, but that doesn't really surprise me. Well that's probably right then, it makes a lot of sense out of what happened.

    Computer won't start after updating bios

    Okay, so I manually reset the cmos jumper expecting it not to work. And surprisingly, it did. After it booted up I checked my bios version and it was updated. So basically I am like wtf right now. I update the bios using Asus update utility, the comp fails to start up, I reset the cmos jumper...

    Computer won't start after updating bios

    I downloaded the update from the Asus site and used the AsusUpdate utility to update it via a file. It seemed to work fine, told me to restart, which I did. Why would updating the bios through Asus' own utility brick my mobo? Anything else I can do about it?

    Computer won't start after updating bios

    I just updated my bios for the first time since I got my Asus P5B Deluxe mobo a couple of years ago. My bios version was 1004, and I was updating it via a downloaded file to the newest version that came out in august. After it finished updating it told me to restart my comp, which I did, but now...

    How do you lower cpu temps after OCing

    Well the dry ice approach is original. I've checked the temp with CoreTemp and HWMonitor. I might just reapply the thermal paste and hope it changes something.

    How do you lower cpu temps after OCing

    Anyone who has bought an intel chip knows they're heatsink fans are HORRIBLE. It uses push-pins to secure itself, and I thought I was going to crack the motherboard trying to get it in right. Even though it clicked in, when the computer was running it would party fall off and wouldn't be...

    How do you lower cpu temps after OCing

    I bought an aftermarket hsf for the cpu right after I got it. Intel's stock hsf would fall off while it was running and the cpu would immediately shut down from overheating. This happened several times.

    4850 framerate drop

    It probably is the cpu. It's running at the stock speed of 1.86 ghz. I've tried overclocking it, but even at 2 ghz oc the core temps are around 70C, way too hot. I already have an aftermarket hsf on the cpu, so I guess I'll just have to fiddle with lower voltages on it. But I'm not sure how much...

    4850 framerate drop

    I've been playing CoD4 with my new 4850 and sometimes the fps will drop to 4 or 5 for a few seconds, go back to up normal fps (30-60), and go back down for a few seconds, then stop. This happens rarely, I've only seen it twice in the last few days of playing. But I don't know what's causing it...

    How do you lower cpu temps after OCing

    I just overclocked my E6300 to 2.0 ghz by setting the bus speed to 333 and the fsb:dram ratio to 1:1. I left the cpu voltage on auto and it was set to 1.37. But now my idle cpu temps have gone from about 49-50 C to 69-70 C. I set the frequency multiplier from 7 to 6, but the temps remain the...

    Overclocked E6300 problem

    I've had an E6300 for a couple of years, and have always run it at stock speeds. I recently upgraded my video card to a 4850, and I suspect it might be holding the card back a little bit. So I changed the bus speed from the default 266 to 333. I didn't change any voltages. Now when I try to boot...

    4850 3DMark06 score too low?

    The stock voltage for my E6300 is about 1.168v and the stock voltage for my memory is 1.9v. So if I overclock the bus speed from 266 to 333 I shouldn't have to change any voltages? Do I need to change anything with the ram speeds?

    4850 3DMark06 score too low?

    okay. I know my cpu score is much lower since most people have better cpus. I got just over 1000 for my individual CPU score. And how much should I overclock my CPU with my system? I don't want to overheat it or cause damage. I also don't want the inside of the case getting too hot and...

    4850 3DMark06 score too low?

    I just ran 3DMark06 after installing my VisionTek 4850 the other day. My rig is in my sig (that rhymes!) and my score was about 8600. Does this seem reasonable for my system? Or am I not getting the score I should have. Btw, I don't have anything overclocked.

    Low 3DMark06 score for CPU

    I have an Intel E6300 1.86 ghz cpu. I've had it for almost 2 years now. When I first received it the stock cooling fan would fall off, and several times it would shut off immediately after starting it, I assume due to the heat. After doing that a few times, I replaced the stock with a much...

    3DMark06 not responding with 4850

    I just got a VisionTek 4850 today and wanted to test it on 3DMark06. I downloaded the 8.8 catalyst drivers, although I'm not sure if those are the best ones to get for the 4850 right now. But when I startup 3Dmark the intro splash screen just freezes and in the task manager it says it's not...

    Failed to query TCP/IP Settings
