    Windows fully loaded, no Video?. Not so fast!.

    This is how it went: One of our draftsmen informed some flickering video issue which I tried to replicate unsuccessfully. This is a WIN7 64, Gigabyte H77M D3H MoBo. On one of the restarts, all looked just fine, windows logon sound included but no video. Everything was double checked all good...

    Windows fully loaded, no Video?. Not so fast!.

    I truly believe this is not worth the aggravation you are enduring. I'm just trying to help. You are welcome to read other posts and troll somewhere else while I learn English. Thanks for your time and patience.

    Windows fully loaded, no Video?. Not so fast!.

    I've been looking into this issue and found out that in most forums, the manufacturers' reps guide users through the same checklist: i.e: strip MoBo, flash bios, check cables, etc.. no mention about Monitor. And the symptoms seem to be the same. After a couple of posts, RMA is advised. This is...

    Windows fully loaded, no Video?. Not so fast!.

    What happens is nothing. No video on BIOS/bootup, none at all. The monitor presents a reaction to signal and on the screen you can see it getting from hybernation to stby mode but no image. It makes you think it's ok but it is definetly not. Now, the A2 code on the ASUS ROG panels is derived...

    Windows fully loaded, no Video?. Not so fast!.

    Last weekend I had this issue which seems to be a bit common and had no resolution afaik: All things are good, you checked wiring, slots, memory, cpu, etc.. everything is as should but there's no video. Asus guys had RMA'd a bunch of ROG MoBos for A2 code (IDE detect) hanging derived from no...

    IVY E uses solder tim as expected, see delidded (and killed) 4960X with solder tim

    Sorry, got it wrong.. for some reason I confused the OP reference with the Haswell line and started looking way ahead. Here is where I got confused: "For those who have LGA 2011 motherboards already, however, there comes some bad news: the same unnamed source claims that the new Haswell E...

    IVY E uses solder tim as expected, see delidded (and killed) 4960X with solder tim

    Ok, it's a Haswell with 3kg of welding material, squared shape with odd PCB layout, 4 notches instead of two, a lid that doesn't match LGA 1150 bracket, no retaining lips, no probe contacts on PCB perimeter, etc. hmm Probably not. It's just pictures. " ...You must be an AMD'er since you...

    IVY E uses solder tim as expected, see delidded (and killed) 4960X with solder tim

    Sorry but I don't buy it.. Please have a look at this. It's the evolution of recent chip dies. I think I've never linked something on this forum and hope it works: http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/news2/Intel-2013-Haswell-Processor-Reportedly-Pictured-3.png Those images used for...

    i5 or i7 for my needs

    I agree.. Of course we have put lots of time building our systems, we're proud of them and wish to share our experiences with people who need guidance with perhaps biased advise but never the wrong advise. All these ideas are either theoretical or proven on each individual's taste and needs...

    Intel 2013-2014 roadmap

    I don't understand why some people force themselves to unsee the obvious. IMO the Haswell line is clearly not for enthusiasts and not worth to upgrade from Ivy or Sandy Bridge. Of course, purists would argue that you can squeeze more from Haswells but they also will agree that Intel wasn't...

    Are you buying Haswell?

    Other than the new color scheme on 1150 MoBo's from Asus, I couldn't care less. If Intel thought about the market segment I belong to, they would be selling Integrated Graphics-free Haswells today. If MoBo manufacturers other than MSI -that I know of- have had a bios out supporting Xeons...

    PCIe 2.1 and 3.0

    IMO, PCI-e 3.0 will be stalled for a while. In my experience, I've tested some PCI-e 2.0 and 2.1 GPUs on both PCI-e 1.x and 2.x, ran some tests, went back and forth and TBH, I can't say there is no difference, but I'm totally sure, no one can tell by experiencing but by numbers derived from...

    Positive airflow or not, you'll know if it's working for you by using this method: (You need a lighter or something light enough to be visibly disturbed by small air current). 1.

    When are the SSDs gonna come down in price?

    Thanks for clearing this one out for us all. This concept was not 100% clear for me, hence why I did it wrong. The NAND chips are expensive but there are other types of flash memory technologies being explored and there is where the controllers play a big part. As soon as other...

    Yet another Intel C206 Mobo, by Intel

    Well, we have an Intel guy here. He knows that if you compare the physical lifespan of a 1155 socket Xeon with that of a Sandy Bridge used (not abused) with overclocking, you'd probably partially understand why the market is not pushing this way: Because the today's proud club of hardware...

    When are the SSDs gonna come down in price?

    SSD's are already going down in price. Now, if what you expect is a dramatic price cut of around 40%, it will take a at least a year, so I think Q4 2012 for it to happen.. The question is which type of SSD will see such change?.. The SataII class and, of course, the smaller drives. The...

    What the hell happened to my PC?

    Please, before you attempt to download/install/test anything, keep in mind that hard drives (the standard non solid state ones) have moving parts which are culprit of failure around 95% of times. So, try to rescue any valuable data before anything else. Every second your computer is on, the...

    I agree on the observations about the GPU, memory and MoBo. Please, keep in mind some of the software you've mention can take advantage of CUDA enabled GPU's, so go NVIDIA.

    Fudzilla: Bulldozer performance figures are in

    I have the feeling that AMD struggles to surface a new line. Many people think that some Bulldozer will climb up some hill and strike a foot on INTEL's neck. I find this kinda funny. I'm a true believer on the potential of AMD's architecture but for some reason, I don't have faith in it's...

    "Fanless" spinning CPU cooler prototype from Sandia National Laboratories

    Correct me if I'm wrong... but after double-checking (since there is not a clear section of the device), it appears that the fins are attached to a plate at their bottom and the cushion and .001 gap is below that plate. Essentially, the fins are not part of the gap / cushion, as I see it. If...

    "Fanless" spinning CPU cooler prototype from Sandia National Laboratories
