Help with Asus Striker Extreme

(1) Whenever I boot up, Asus Startup Runner asks me whether I want to run it or not. How do I set it up so that it ALWAYS runs it without asking? (2) Simultaneously with the above, I get a message from Windows Vista (32 bit) that it has blocked a program. When I click on the system tray...

Silent Running: HW clock slowdown

Yes, you are right! Unfortunately, both of those are plugged in. It really sounds like the problem is either a bad GPU or an improperly grounded MB. Unofrtunately, I am so tied to this computer that I cannot take it apart to get RMA's and patiently wait for new opnes to be returned to me. I...

WDM TV Audio Crossbar Service failed to load

WDM TV Audio Crossbar Service failed to load

The Bios is enabled. The En6800 Ultra does have a TV Out. I use the latest drivers from nVidia. The one supplied initially by Asus caused a Code 10 error, which is written up widely on many of the bulletin Boards including, I believe, somewhere on Anandtech. Asus Tech support is not...

There is no plug on it or into which it can be plugged. There is a 4 pin connector underneath the board on the motherboard itself into which a 4 pin is attached.

I have a A8N SLi Delux. I get the following message: nVidia WDM TV Audio Crossbar service failed to start - the system cannot find the file specified. I have no idea what file it cannot find what service it is talking about. I also have a Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS. Any ideas?

Warning about Lian Li 1200 cases

Does your case have the quick disconnect bays? It was a new product in the 1000, 1100, 1200, 2000, and 2100 cases. This case did come with tons of screws, but none of the HDD Fixed screws.

Warning about Lian Li 1200 cases

The case requires special screws to affix the HDD into their toolless bays. The documentation calls for 48 of those screws (more than enough) but only 4 are included. It is true not only in my order, but also in the reseller's wearhoused boxes and in the Distributor's wearhouse boxes...

Not sure whats going on... PLEASE HELP!!

I have had trouble having windows recognize the keyboard through the USB port in the past on older motherboards. So my real answer then is I am not sure. I think that the controller takes over even if it comes in through the USB port, so if the controller is bad it will not work.
