The 2013-up SHO's still suffer the same problem with the PTU. Ford has not changed the PTU design for the CX-9/Edge/Explorer/Taurus. Even the police interceptor utility/sedan with the coolant hoses running to the integrated PTU cooler, are still blowing up PTU's at about 30k miles from what I...
Thank you for the link!
I tried Google Chrome and it had the same issues. I'm not sure if MotoGP is broadcast at 23.97 fps, but I still have that issue with their latest beta Flash player.
Aside from the overscan issue pre-OS (once in the OS, the drivers take over), I'm about fed up with the...
I just tested this out on a Core i7-2620K w/ Intel's HD 3000 - same problem in 720P mode!!
I think this is an issue with the HD 2000/3000 graphics and whatever MotoGP uses for their HD format.
I have a Core i3-2120 processor in my Dell Inspiron 620, which has an Intel HD 2000 video graphics chipset. I run the output to my Samsung LCD flat screen TV (LN-S4051D) via HDMI. It had issues with overscan, so after consulting with Anandtech forum members, figured out how to adjust the...
I updated to the latest Intel drivers and it did what I expected it to do: absolutely nothing, because the problem exists at the hardware level since it shows up during BIOS/POST and bootup well before the drivers are even loaded.
After adjusting the H and V scan using 1280x720 resolution, it...
I fixed the problem. Ventanni is right on the money.
The problem was that the custom aspect ratio option appears only for certain resolutions, at least with my HD 2000 and Samsung TV combination. 1280x720 is the only HD resolution with the custom aspect ratio option.
I set it to 50 for...
Well, the RAM doesn't have heat spreaders, they're 2 sticks of 2GB DDR3 1333 according to the BIOS.
I have an ECS Black Edition motherboard for my gaming rig (Phenom II X3 720) and I thought that was a decent board. It came with copper heatsinks for the north and southbridges.
Unfortunately, there are no options in my Samsung LN-S4051D for Just Scan or for adjusting the position/resolution/aspect ratio with the HDMI connection. I snooped around and couldn't find it. It must be in the newer TVs, this was from early 2007 (probably a 2006 design). The only options I have...
The BIOS does not display properly, the screen is too big (goes beyond the edges of the screen) just like the Windows display. This rules out the drivers since you're not even in the OS when this problem occurs. There is no way to adjust my Samsung LCD TV either, and I tried all of the...
I just bought a new Dell Inspiron 620 desktop, with the H61 Intel chipset based Motherboard. I noticed that there is NO heatsink or cooler for the southbridge chip!!
Doing a Google search shows that others have had this problem in July 2011. The fact that they are still building the 620...
I just bought a new Dell Inspiron 620 with the Core i3 CPU and Intel's HD 2000 graphics adapter. When plugged into my Samsung 40" LCD TV, the screen size is TOO BIG in the BIOS mode and in Windows 7. I cannot set a resolution that fills the TV properly, it is always TOO BIG.
I used my Dell...
I did numerous Google searches and found temporary fixes and snarky comments from folks saying "just use a digitally signed driver"
Well, I have a Ducati Data Analyzer that hooks up to the USB port and Windows 7 64-bit will NOT allow you to use it because the OEM driver is not digitally...
They all worked fine with Vista 32-bit.
I did an extensive Google search, and found something that is worthwhile for me to test (which I am currently doing). Apparently, Windows 7 beta had a problem where the GPU gets too busy when you wake it out of idle.
Disabling the task bar autohide is...
My Dell Studio 1537 was ordered in 2008 with 4GB DDR2 (Samsung 800 MHz) and it arrived with Vista 32-bit installed. It worked well until I decided to do a clean installation of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
The problem is as follows:
If I walk away with the laptop running in the desktop, it...
Is there any way to adjust the FOV with Halo 2?
It is probably the single most frustrating game to play on the PC. The user interface is all FUBAR'd and adjustment is very limited. The second most frustrating game was Far Cry 2, but at least the interface was much better and the FOV was...
I used Check Flash (1.05 and 1.09) to test my new Patriot XT 4GB (the black rubberized 200x deal) and the very last block keeps reporting a write/read error using the Logical Drive / Full Pattern write/read test. I am using Vista Home Premium SP-2 on a Dell Studio 1537 laptop.
The write speed...
I used the Southpaw setup so that I was able to remap "E". The other setups used "E" for a variety of functions by default and thus wouldn't allow you to remap them. Unfortunately, this also requires the Left Mouse button (primary) to be used to fire the Right weapon (the default position for a...
I am trying to play Halo 2 on my PC but for the weirdest reason it refuses to accept any of my custom keyboard mappings. I tried to use "E" for forward, but it says it was already assigned. So I look down and see like 5 settings using "E" by default. I cannot change it. Is there any way to edit...
I understand why it's not a true sine wave, but I want to know how important it is to pay the extra money for a slightly better approximated sine wave? Even the latest high-end military grade converters are still subject to noise/EMI issues.
Should I worry about damage to the PSU if I run it...
I have 4GB of DDR3-1333 in this rig. My concern isn't RAM usage, but why it is hogging up so much RAM when my other laptops with Vista 32-bit only use a max of about 30MB for the largest svchost.exe (Studio 1537, 4GB but has 32-bit Vista Home Premium, Inspiron 15 w/ 32-bit Vista Home Basic and...
I can't explain it either. My Dell studio 1537 laptop has the same services running and uses only 33MB. I guess Ethan said it best: http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/comics/20090713.jpg
I ran tasklist /svc and found the PID for the svchost that is using up over 100MB:
AudioEndpointBuilder, EMDMgmt, hidserv,
Netman, PcaSvc, SysMain, UxSms,
WdiSystemHost, WPDBusEnum, wudfsvc
I have over a dozen svchost.exe processes running on Vista 64-bit Business SP-2. One of them is consistently 140+ MB in size, while the next largest are 33MB and 20MB respectively.
I looked over the numerous resources regarding the disabling of certain services, but it remains unchanged. What...
Is it normal for my Corsair TX750W to make a weird buzzing noise when it is running on the UPS's battery? I cut off the circuit for the 120VAC via the house circuit breaker to test the UPS. It seems like there is a lot of noise/EMI coming from the SMPS or whatever they used to turn 12V DC into...
Yes I did. I didn't really notice an increase/decrease in performance outside of 3dmark. I guess I can try disabling it again and see if it makes a difference.
Could I disable AHCI via the BIOS and boot into Vista, or will it freak out because it was installed in AHCI mode?
Also, my SM2...
I am not really sure, but I lost about 800 3dmark06 points sometime after I loaded RAID expert and enabled something on the HD. I was trying to figure out why SMART info wasn't available. I can't figure out how I lost so many points. It wasn't from going to Vista 64-bit SP2 or loading the latest...

I've already installed Vista 64-bit SP-1 with AHCI enabled. Can I disable AHCI via the BIOS and continue using the OS w/o problems? What happens if I go back to IDE, then back to AHCI?

I just built a new budget gaming PC (X3 720 / HD 4870) with a Corsair TX750W. I know the 750W PSU isn't being taxed with this system, so I was wondering what size UPS I should purchase.
I really want a UPS to prevent damage during black/brown outs that seem to happen frequently in my area. I...
