Bought the Sharp AQUOS LC-32GP1U **UPDATED**

I have this LCD and I get this problem (see attachment), does anyone have any idea how to fix this? For some reason it only sees the LCD as native resolution of 1360x768. I need it to be 1920x1080, the overall picture is ok, but in closer detail there is a large amount of pixelation and the text...

Vista 5536 Won't Install

I just built a new system, and Vista STILL won't install (never did on my old one either). What happens is I get through Vista setup, and it reboots my computer, then it's on the step of "Completing Installation", when all of a sudden the backlights on my keyboard flicker and flash, and I get a...

Vista Beta 2 Won't Install

Thanks, but I still have trouble believing it is any kind of burn issue, since those same DVDs work on other PCs, and even in this PC using VMWare.

Vista Beta 2 Won't Install

I have been trying to install Vista Beta 2 without any success since I got it. I have had this exact same problem with 5365 and 5381. When I "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD" the grey loading bar comes up, and after a few passes, it just completely freezes and locks up. I also tried doing...

nVidia DualTV MCE

Anyone read the release for nVidia's new dual tuner MCE card? Seems like it would make a good match for a nForce430/6150 board, Purevide acceleration through all parts of the system. I'm returning my Hauppage PVR-500 to Newegg and bought the DualTV MCE today, should be here on Wednesday. The...

Hard Drive problem =\

I have the Fujitsu SCSI drive set as the first boot device in the BIOS, that was one of the first things I checked. Unless it is somehow overriding me and not showing.

Hard Drive problem =\

Well right now Windows XP is installed on the SCSI drive and it boots up just fine. The problem is that it changed my system drive to D: , and made my 250GB backup drive C: . And if I enable those SATA channels, the computer just won't boot.

Creative X-Fi makes system go nuts

I've been posting to that thread, but no one has any viable solutions. I don't want to flash my mobo with Jetway BIOS because I think that would mess something up, its an EVGA motherboard and they say it is different than a stock Jetway board.

Creative X-Fi makes system go nuts

ACPI is enabled in the BIOS, although there are different levels of it that you can set. Is there a certain one it should be? Like theres ACPI (3) and ACPI (1) or something like that.

Creative X-Fi makes system go nuts

I just picked up a Creative X-fi sound card today to put into my brand new X2 rig, and right away, when I put it in the comp and boot up, the computer just reboots itself right after it gets to the Windows XP logo ad infinitum. Also of note, with the Xfi plugged in, the computer detects that...

I'm really wondering when these will be available. Their magazine ads all say 8.21.05 with a Best Buy logo at the bottom, seems to suggest they will be available this coming week. Anyone have any info on it?

Athlon X2 4200+

Just was able to check this, thanks for all the replies. I'm going to be getting the Antec P180 case, since I saw someone mention it. Can any of you recommend any specific fan products that will do better than the stock cooling, and aren't too expensive? Preferably something I can pick up at...

Athlon X2 4200+

Hopefully this isn't a stupid question , but I'm curious if anyone knows how far the 4200 can be overclocked with the stock cooling. I know I've heard people say this is an excellent overclocking chip, and my old P4 I was able to overclock by 15% just through the BIOS with stock cooling, so any...

I pretty much decided on the X2 4200. Anyone know how easy it is to overclock with the stock cooling? Or do I really need to invest in something else?

I HAVE FOUND X-FI CHIPS

It's not just the sound quality that's supposed to make this card awesome, but the fact that supposedly it takes the load COMPLETELY off your CPU of sound processing. Maximum PC said this can lead to 10-20% performance gains due to freed up processing power, and that's the reason I'm buying one...

I HAVE FOUND X-FI CHIPS

If you take a look at the ads they run in Maximum PC and other magazines, it states the date as 8.21, which sounds about right since their press release the other day said these would be available at Best Buy and other stores later this month.

FX-53 vs. New X2 Dual Cores

Well I'm not sure I run anything heavy resource, usually I just have iTunes, Trillian, Firefox going while I game. Where I think it might be nice is when not gaming, I multitask quite a bit. So as long as for gaming the performance would be about equal, it should balance out. Not to mention...
