    HDD forgetting things?

    I did as LouPoir said and used Western Digital's diagnostic utilities and performed a Quick Test and an Extended Test on the boot HDD. The weirdest thing is that nothing wrong is being reported (every test has positive results): no other bad sectors encountered, physical condition of the HDD is...

    HDD forgetting things?

    Is it really possible for a HDD to "forget" things? Because I'm think that's what's happening with my PC. The primary boot HDD (a PATA Western Digital Caviar 120GB) is pretty old now and as of lately it's acting strange. It's being detected just fine and the PC boots fine, but once Windows is...

    Can someone figure out the difference between these two?

    That doesn't matter if you already have your own high-end HSF, like the recent Zalman CPU coolers. In that case, you'd be better off buying the non-boxed/OEM version (i.e. without HSF) of the more efficient CPU.

    Official DO's and DON'T for ASUS A8N-SLI (PREMIUM)

    Same here, but it is only the onboard IEEE1394 connector that is used for the front panel firewire connector (y'know, the one that is attached with a cable). That doesn't work for some reason and I can't figure out why. The one in the I/O section at the back does work just fine, so I'm not...

    Official DO's and DON'T for ASUS A8N-SLI (PREMIUM)

    Maybe their 1011-006 is actually the final version? They just never bothered updating it. I don't know. :P I mean, it's been quite some time already...

    Official DO's and DON'T for ASUS A8N-SLI (PREMIUM)

    It's strange how so many people have trouble with this board. I haven't had any single issue with it, and moreover (and perhaps even more surprisingly) using the nVidia IDE drivers doesn't make my system go unstable. Even when doing massive file transfers all over the place, everything's still...

    NEC 2070SB or the FE2111SB

    Can't go wrong with 2070SB. I have it and I absolutely love it. It's an Augustus 2004 model and I've got it for more than a year now. Brightness and contrast are very good, even now. :) There are a few things such monitors are sensitive for and that's signal quality, power and magnetivity...

    Vendor-specific SMART attribute?

    I checked again with the diagnostics utility and it turns out it's the airflow temperature. It's not covered by warranty according to the utility, but that's okay. It doesn't seem to be anything serious. But I'll mess around with the HDDs positions and see if I can improve the layout. I'm using...

    Vendor-specific SMART attribute?

    http://www.skwowwy.net/other/hdd_smart.jpg This is a recently bought SATA HDD (arrived last Saturday). Sometimes, SMART reports this vendor-specific attribute as failed, but I have no idea what it means, nor do I know if this is dangerous or not. Most of the time, this attribute is just fine...

    which video player software uses the least cpu?

    Quite the contrary. GeForce6 and up as well as Radeon X8xx and up support MPEG2 acceleration, even if it's in high definition.

    What's your screen resolution set to?

    1600x1200@85Hz for both 2D and 3D. Gotta love my Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 2070SB~ =D

    Holy SLI 7800GTX = System Memory Hog

    PCI-E motherboards no longer work with Aperture Size. I also have an Asus A8N-SLI Premium and I don't recall such an option in BIOS. Anyway, I'm not sure why that happened to you, but if you know someone with an SLI motherboard, try out your two cards there and see if the same thing happens...

    Blerg, PC won't start up... :\

    I guess it's still either the MB or CPU, most likely the MB, though, since if it was the CPU (and the MB was fine) then I'd receive a POST Reporter message stating that there's no CPU installed or something. So yeah, I guess I'll RMA the MB... ;_;

    Blerg, PC won't start up... :\

    Err... 380W ought to be just about enough, really. The manual states that a minimum of 350W for Athlon64 3400+, 2x 6600GTs, 2x DDR DIMMs, 2x HDDs, 1x optical drive, 1 PCI card and 3 USB devices. Well, if the PC is completely barebone, with only the CPU and RAM connected, then you'd surely expect...

    Blerg, PC won't start up... :\

    A long time ago I posted a thread here stating that my PSU (OCZ PowerStream 520W)died on me, which caused the entire PC to shut down. It's now due for RMA, but it took me too long and I needed the PC for my project at the university, so I went ahead and bought a reserve PSU (Tagan TG380-U01...

    Asus A8N-SLI premium motherboard ram problems

    Are they running at the Command Rate of 1T, though? :P

    Hehe, what a coincidence! xD Thanks for telling me that. It cheered me up, after being pissed off for some time about the PSU being kaput right now. :P

    Hi there, I ordered an Asus A8N-SLI Premium and an Asus EN7800GTX TOP graphics card. I received them about 4 days ago. Installation went easy and everything was working like they should, until now. When I was just chatting with fellow people, the PC suddenly turned itself off. I didn't...

    nForce4 AMD Edition (6.66)

    The 6.66 drivers are stable for me. Installed all drivers, including the IDE ones, but not the audio drivers (used the Realtek ones instead). No problems whatsoever. Performance is great. :) Edit: Using Windows XP Professional 32-bit. The 64-bit IDE drivers (when I used Windows XP...

    ASUS A8V DELUXE

    nForce4 is basically the king of the chipsets right now for AMD CPUs. I'd go for that one instead. I know I am going to get that one now after selling my MB and GPU. :) I'm not sure myself if it's ATI's fault. It's more likely VIA's anyway. With PCI-E you'll never have problems with it, and...

    ASUS A8V DELUXE

    There is a known issue with VIA chipsets and ATI cards running at AGP 8x. I'm suffering from this. The PC always crashes during DirectX games, but never during OpenGL games, which I can play for hours continually. I've tried many solutions given at the board of www.viaarena.com but none of them...

    Do you guys REALLY think there's going to be a 7800 Ultra with 32 pipes?

    http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/News/Details.aspx?NewsId=14238 I don't know what will happen in the future, but at least high frequency GDDR3 memory will be possible, so 1.4GHz will be easy. At that speed and current memory width of 256-bit, theoretically 64GB/s bandwidth can be achieved at...

    NEC/Mitsubishi quality control issues

    Oh yeah, as for the blurriness problem. If it occurs, you could try to fix it yourself. There are two holes on the left side of the monitor. Somewhere inside of one of those holes is a controller for setting the focus of the monitor manually. You can reach it with some small screwdriver. Mind...

    NEC/Mitsubishi quality control issues

    I'm very sorry you had to experience that. I guess I was very lucky when I got the same monitor. It's excellent, crisp quality and everything works like it should. Sometimes there are dancing pixels, though, but they occur pretty rarely (usually only after the monitor got turned on for a while)...

    Wow, Catalyst v5.6 accelerates HD WMV on my 9800 Pro!

    ATI: VPU Recover

    Actually, if you guys happen to use a VIA chipset, there's a big rumour going around that there's a bug in VIA's chipset regarding AGP 8x/4x. More information can be found in the forums of Via Arena (http://www.viaarena.com). I'm also victim myself of this problem with random crashes during...

    ***OFFICIAL*** BF2 DEMO Review Thread

    Everything loads up fine for me. BF2 is actually more of the same with extra eye-candiness and more options. It does look very good and plays quite well, but I don't think I'll be getting this game. =P Only thing that I didn't like is that even with my ATI Radeon X800XT PE, it lags a fair bit...

    oem omtherboard agp aperture size

    Don't worry too much about AGP Aperture Size. This is simply the amount of system RAM available to the graphics card should it run out of memory sometime. :) Usually you'll want to set it at the half of your graphics card's total memory, but this is not a rule. You'll need to experiment...

    Why can't matter reach the speed of light?

    A documentary on Discovery Channel mentioned something about a large device with a huge sail that is used for accelerating the device by means of light. In other words, it uses the sun's light, or rather photons, to accelerate the device. They're planning on letting it go until "the end of the...

    WTF to PS3 design. Price revealed.

    w00t, PS3 looks pretty slick. X-Box 360 doesn't look all that bad either, so I think they're both equal in that department. The one thing they suck at is the controllers. Both look retarded, especially the X-Box 360 one. PS3's might be doable, but I'd rather use the very same DualShock II...

    Freshly installed x64, how to dual boot install XP

    I'm dual-booting with XP64 and XP32. It's pretty simple, really. Just boot off the XP32 CD and install it on a different partition than XP64's and the rest will go automatically. boot.ini will be altered occordingly by XP32, with XP64 being the default OS. There's nothing else to it according...

    A8V DELUXE Bios version 1011

    How can I verify whether the 1T Command Rate is working or not? *_* Never mind, seems you're right. Activating 1T Command Rate in A64Tweaker increased the results in SiSoft Sandra Memory Bandwidth benchmark by over 1GB/sec, giving around 5.9GB/sec. :) With 2T it was something like 4.6GB/sec...

    ATTN: BBA ATI X800XTPE/X850XTPE OWNERS: GPU Temps!

    Idle: 30C Load: 50C I have a X800XT flashed to X800XT PE (normal overclock would do the job, but Windows recognizes the X800XT card as a simple X800 card, which isn't too good for my imago. :P Flashing solved it and now Windows recognizes it as a X800XT PE card). Also, ATI Silencer 4 is...
