    How to check if my video card is working properly.

    You could run various [free] benchmarks (3dMark, Heaven, Etc.) and compare your results with other similar systems. These are also pretty good at showing artifacts, if your card isn't working properly. I just got a new 660 and ran these programs to verify that the card is working properly...

    Slow USB Speeds with New Build

    Thanks again for the replies! Sorry it took awhile to respond, my system was down all weekend. I think mfenn and ketchup79 hit the nail on the head. I even had a crash due to an IRQ conflict. I'm only using the Intel USB 2.0/3.0 ports, so the Asmedia controller should have no effect...

    Question about PSU fan direction

    There might be increased dust with the fan facing upwards??? That's the only issue I can think of.

    Slow USB Speeds with New Build

    I finally got everything installed last night. The system passed 4 passes of Memtest86 and 8 hours of AIDA64 torture testing overnight. Everything seems to work except one thing... I am getting dog slow USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 transfer rates. The USB 2.0 makes transfers at about 150k/sec. The...

    Windows 7 Installation -- Order of Driver Installation

    Thanks for the replies! There is an opion to disable the Lucid MVP - maybe this also disables the iGPU. I'll go for this and just not install the drivers for it. Thanks for your help!

    Windows 7 Installation -- Order of Driver Installation

    The problem is there is no way to disable the iGPU on my board. So - is it better to leave it hanging without a driver, or to install the driver for it and set it as a secondary adapter? To me, it seems like there is the possibility for conflicts either way???

    Windows 7 Installation -- Order of Driver Installation

    Thanks for the quick replies! So is there any reason to install the HD 4000 drivers, without the Virtu MVP drivers also being installed? Thanks.

    Windows 7 Installation -- Order of Driver Installation

    I’ve just built a new machine (see specs in sig) and am now ready to load Win 7 x64. It's been a LOOOOONG time since I've built a new rig and I'm a little unclear on the latest driver installation procedures. Below is the sequence of the install that I plan to follow: 1. Windows 7...

    Boot times: ASUS vs. Gigabyte

    Thanks for the tip nenforcer, but I have the BIOS nice and tight. Everything is disabled that I don't use... SAS, sound, firewire, express gate, marvell controller, 2nd ethernet port, etc. I've had a few different ASUS X58 boards, and they all seem to take at least 10sec to post. But thanks...

    Boot times: ASUS vs. Gigabyte

    I have an ASUS P6T WS Pro M/B, and it takes 12 secends from pushing the power button to first seeing the BIOS/post screen. It takes about 3 seconds to initialize, and then I see the Windows "loading" screen for about 5 seconds before I get the logon screen. Just FYI...

    New Catalyst 10.7 available now!!

    What's the veerdict on the 10.7's for BC2? I'm still on the 10.4's and am anxious for an update to fix the V-sync issues and disappearing textures.

    P6T WS PRO vs Gigabyte UD3R?

    I have the P6T WS Pro and really like it. It's been extremely fast and stable. I use it for Photoshop, Lightroom, and BFBC2. I initially installed 12GB of RAM but found that I never used more than 4 - 5 GB of RAM while doing image editing, so I sold it and bought a faster set of 6 GB. I only...

    Fired up Trespasser the other day...

    I remember this game... it was soooo hyped up to be the latest thing in graphics with regards to an interactive environment. I remember Spielberg playing the beta and showing how you could pick up a single blade of grass from the terrain. I also remember that this type of interactivity didn't...

    I need a better cooler for my 5770

    I used a Zalman VF950-LED cooler with MX-2 on my 5770. The mounting holes line up perfectly. Also, I have the original PCB with the GPU socket closer to the mounting bracket and it still fit without conflict. I used a Zalman 7V fan cable and it kept the card at 38°C at idle, and below...

    Sapphire 5770 makes squealing noise with Corsair PSU?

    I previously had an HX620W PSU with a Vapor-X 4890, and this combo buzzed/whined during games. The HX620W recently died on me, and Corsair shipped me an HX650W as a replacement. At this time I also sold my 4890 and bought a 5770 Vapor-X (I don't game anymore, and wanted the 5770 for DX11 and...

    PSU Failure - Damage to Other Components

    Well, my SSD finally arrived and I reinstalled Windows. I'm still getting the hangs and crashes. It appears that when the PSU burned out, it dragged my MB down to the depths with it. I tried updating the BIOS, clearing the CMOS, to no effect. I even tried switching out the ram and this...

    PSU Failure - Damage to Other Components

    Thank all of you for the replies. I didn’t even really consider Windows being corrupted. I’ll try a Win reinstall and see if that rectifies the problem. I’ve been meaning to install Win 7 x64 anyway. I was just hoping to have an SSD to install it on! And I’m not...

    PSU Failure - Damage to Other Components

    I recently had my Corsair HX620W PSU die. The PC instantly shut off and I could smell a faint electrical odor/smoke. Corsair RMA'ed the PSU quickly and the new one works perfectly (I tested it with a DMM). However, the system is a little 'off'. There are now random delays when I initiate...

    Need Help Regarding Broken Vista OEM DVD

    Thanks for the info, Modelworks, but couldn't someone sneak malware into the code and just create a new ISO with the same name? I guess I would also need to know the original DVD properties (# files, data on DVD, etc.) in order to match evertyhing up. Right???
