    GA-MA790X-UD4P sound cuts out or doesnt work

    I was able to get some sound tonight via reboot, though it's still unreliable as hell. Made getting my first Sarth 2d kill as the MT a little hairy. Will see what drivers are available, I assume vista 64 would be the bes driver version to get and then run compatibility for Vista SP2...

    Windows 7, Ventrilo, WoW

    I'm a little torn as to the source of my issues, whether it's motherboard, OS, Vent software, chipset, user error. I posted on the motherboard side here Vent always worked well on my XP Pro 32 bit box. Now vent either does not respond when I press my push to talk, or when I speak it...

    Windows 7, Ventrilo, WoW

    I've tried relocating my old Vent install to the new W7 drive, I've tried leaving it on the old IDE drive that is now the backup and using a shortcut, I've tried installing new versions, but vent just does not play well with Windows 7. Any tips or tricks from the W7 experts to get them to behave?

    GA-MA790X-UD4P sound cuts out or doesnt work

    Did a rebuild recently to get into a quad core and 64 bit OS. Thread about the build herehere Mobo is GA-MA790X-UD4P Phenom II 945 quad core Windows 7 RC1 64 bit Since the build my sound has been a complete crapshoot, and getting vent to work right has been a nightmare. I have a...

    AM2+ mobo to pair with Phenom II 945?

    lopri, great advice, though off by just a hair. My buddy that helps me build and I fought with the bloody thing for many hours, trying to isolate a potential bad memory chip, wondering if the new HD was faulty, constantly troubleshooting because it would consistently hang during setup. I...

    AM2+ mobo to pair with Phenom II 945?

    I debated that exact point, and nearly bought the exact combo at least 3 times. And you're right, I may not ever use that (and then kick myself) or I could kick myself for not going the extra 20 bucks to get the 955 BE. But I don't overclock anyway. For a variety of unrelated reasons I am...

    AM2+ mobo to pair with Phenom II 945?

    Contemplating the following combo from newegg for 259, though my digging around shows this board may have some gremlins, stuttering display that can't be tracked down and debugged. AMD Phenom II X4 940 Deneb 3.0GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Black Edition Processor Model HDZ940XCGIBOX - Retail...

    AM2+ mobo to pair with Phenom II 945?

    See below for background if needed, but the short version is I kinda put the cart before the horse and ordered a processor earlier today. I went 945 instead of the 940 for the DDR3 and AM3 compatibility down the line. AMD Phenom II X4 945 Deneb 3.0GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor...

    Looks like I may need to upgrade my PSU

    Thanks to the folks in this thread and jonnyGURU's patience in PMs I'm up and running on the new card. Wasn't a PSU problem at all (*growls slightly at the tech he talked to on the phone last week*) Downloaded most up to date nvidia drivers and chipset drivers for the mobo. Add/Remove...

    Looks like I may need to upgrade my PSU

    Argh! :) Ok, I feel better now. Once the kids are crashed tonight I will once more into the breach and give it a try. This does make sense in light of the fact I had to reinstall the drivers for my monitor too, it came up as standard plug and play. Will uninstall the existing...

    Looks like I may need to upgrade my PSU

    I wouldn't expect a major driver issue with the switch, seeing as how I'm going from an nvidia card to an nvidia card with the unified driver architecture. I've pulled an nvidia card and dropped a new one in without touching drivers in the past without incident, should something be different...

    Looks like I may need to upgrade my PSU

    Cool, i was hoping you'd drop in JG, I used to be much more active on these forums years ago and recall your expertise, now I come back years later and you're a BFG guy and still the power supply guru. I'm resisting the Best Buy approach, it's somewhat how I got where I am now with this...

    Looks like I may need to upgrade my PSU

    Looking at some PSUs in the Hot Deals forum here, including the BGF ES-800 deal, wondering which would be best suited for me. Also sorting through best Buy's selection and prices (which make me want to heave) because I pass one on my commute home. Any recommendations? The only addition to...

    Looks like I may need to upgrade my PSU

    Had an opportunity to grab an upgrade to my video card, more a want than need. Went from an 256 MB 8600 GT to a 512 MB 9800 GT OC. Imagine my surprise when the screen kicked down to 640x480 with 4 bit color at startup. Called BFG tech support, apparently that means my PSU hasn't got the...

    Updating my box, on the IRS' nickel

    I have an opportunity to spend a couple hundred (~400) to update my primary box, and it's been quite a while, the existing system has an nForce4 board, a 3200+ and a 7600 GT graphics card. They still do fine, but I'm antsy. Will be using XP. AMD. nVidia. (I've been away but I know there...

    Problems copying large video files to new external in XP

    Thanks mech, you've always been a great help when I wander in with questions like this, I think one of my comps is still running that first gen nForce all in one board you used to use and recommend years ago, it might even be the one I was doing this drive with. I didn't know if the data...

    Problems copying large video files to new external in XP

    That's exactly what I'm trying to do, the new drive is intended to serve as a main backup for all of the other drives in our home network, so most files that we care about exist at least 2-3 places on the network AND on a burned DVD or two. How do I go about converting it to the other file...

    Troubleshooting- no vid, no POST beep

    Hmm, bummer, even if I did end up replacing my mobo and CPU I was planning on giving the 2500 to my buddy for his backup box. That mobo I thought had solid overheat protection, thought it would shut down before it cooked. We'll see. Ok then, I guess my path is somewhat clearer, I have 2 old...

    Well I put everything back the way it was, except the 6600 GT is in my backup/bot box now, which is a real weak sister. I can get it to recognize the 6600 and even start upping the resolution and refresh rate, but then I try to open a few explorer windows and the screen goes black. But then...

    Troubleshooting- no vid, no POST beep

    Kicked the wife off her comp so I can post while I have them down. John, a few questions on your points, are they "try one at a time and try restart" or do all of these steps in this order before trying to restart? I only have two sticks of memory, so just pull one of them? You talking...

    I formerly had a Linksys proconnect that died, it's now discontinued. It was perfect for my needs, maybe this one can do it too. Does the KVM have a switch over button or work by keyboard hot key? Does the unit beep when it switches over? Does it switch back and forth pretty quickly...

    Thanks to the bunch of you, some good info here for me to ponder through. I knew this wasn't the perfect site for this research, but a lot of AT folks are also into digital cameras and could forward me to the best resources to finish off my research. And I've often had to temper...

    Digital camera choices

    Hmm, looked at the two. The F10 has a proprietary battery rather than AAs. The 5100 looks solid, but also looks to be higher priced. Regarding indoor/outdoor, the majority of these shots will be outdoors, existing conditions, or shots of flooding and drainage issues, that sort of thing.

    Damn. Ok, then, what can you tell me about the two memory formats? The more rugged/bulletproof one of the two is probably what I need. I thought compactflash was still a viable and common option, if for no other reason the continuing spam I get about pricing on them from buy.com and...
