If your 7900gt is bad, I would assume that all of the nvidia card are the same. Pity. I would have thought that they would have fixed it by now. Looks like I will have to stay with ATI (not that there's anything wrong with that).
Here is an old thread from another website:
http://forums.nvidia.com/lofiversion/index.php?t2586.html
This is exactly what is happening to me. The video cards used on that thread was the fx5200, 6600gt and 6800. That's why I was wondering if the 78xx or 79xx series had corrected the problem.
I have a Dell 2001fp LCD monitor that I use in portrait mode. Awhile back, I have an Nvidia 6600gt card that could not do portrait mode natively. It could do it in software but the picture was horribly slow and jittery. I switched to a Radeon x850 card and it seems to support the portrait...
I have the P5B board with the 6300 processor. I could not post. I was thinking that I had to update the bios to recognize the cpu. I would get no beeps. I purchased pny ram from compusa just in case. Turns out it was the ram. I have two sticks of OCZ2P8002GK (plat pc800 4-5-4-15). After I...
I have been emailing "Dolly" at Seagate customer service for about 7 months now. I purchased a 250G Seagate drive from Circuit City. When I went online to verify the 5 year warranty, it come up with "component" status, "contact place of purchase". I believe that it think this is an OEM drive...
I have been trying to get this thing to work for awhile now. I have a 19" trying to run 1024x1280. I was wondering if there was another program that can work instead of the nvrotate.
I was still getting intermittant problems so I put back my stock cooler and I have been running perfect for 3 weeks now. Sent the Silencer back to SVC. We'll see what happens when and if I get a replacement.
Installed the 20 to 24 pin adapter and things seem to be a lot better. I can set my fan control back to normal (dynamic) and I do not have any problems. When I run a program like 3dmark I can hear the fan speed increase but my cpu usage does not go up like before. Everything runs stable after...
Ran Prime95 for 7 hrs with no errors. I am currently using Expertool with a fixed 50% fan speed. Since I've been using the Expertool I have not had any problems. This is of course a "band aide" approach so I would still like to get to the root of the problem. I ordered a 20 to 24 pin adapter...
I can now verify the the fan speed on my nv silencer5 is causing the problem. I reinstalled the 6800 with the nv silencer 5. I download the expertool utility and played with the fan speed. Everytime I boosted to fan speed to 100% the CPU usage would go up and my system would be come unstable...
My CPU usage starts anywhere from 40 to 50% as mentioned above. It will last anywhere from 1 minute to 10 minutes (however long the fan is accelerated). During this time the mouse will jitter around making normal tasks very difficult. If you pull up the task manager you can see the chart of...
I understand your reasoning but I have had this problem for about a month and this is what is happening. I do not understand it either. With the nv silencer, I can hear the fan start to spin up faster and this is when the cpu usage increase occurs. The fan does not spin up as much as with the...
I have a Geforce 6800NU PCIe card with a newly installed NV Silencer 5. I am having problems with occassional unknown "CPU usage" about 40 to 50% and slowly tailing off to nothing. After painful troubleshooting, I have discovered the following: The card has some sort of "smart fan" operation...
I bought the 350watt from CompUSA (free after rebate). My 480 Antec is being sent in for RMA service and I am using this power supply now. This seems to be a very good power supply. I am powering two hard drives, 3 optical drives, 5 case fans and a 6800 pcix video card. It has one 92mm...
If you crash before the point that you are beginning to load Windows then you do not have a Windows issue. It would be strictly hardware or a bios issue. Try removing all devices (printers, scanners, etc) except your monitor, keyboard and mouse. If you're still having a problem you have to...
Found it. Here is the answer.

It is actually unnverving that you can have your user account password protected and have someone else grab your hard drive and reveal all your contents from another computer. My case is legit but this...
Aloha,
I do some computer repairs for certain clients and I have a little problem. My client has an emachine that is inoperable. He needs some file from his hard drive. I grab the hard drive and stick it in another computer to access the files but I cannot get into his user account. I see...
Hey thanks guys. I found the problem. I installed this drive into a Dell Dimension 4600 as a secondary slave. The ide secondary slave was disabled. Of course the odd thing is that the drive was recognized and performed normally except for writing cds. After I enabled the drive in bios it...
Aloha,
I cannot burn a cd using Nero 6.0 and my new NEC 2510A (authentic). I can burn DVD's fine using DVD shrink (nero engine I believe). I can burn cd's using an older version of Roxio CD creator. I actually have two NEC's so I swapped it out and they both show the same symptoms so I do...
Price-wise you would have to go with a CRT. Game-wise you will have to go with a CRT. Resolution-wise you will have to go with a CRT. Saying that I use a 19" Samsung LCD. If the LCD's did multiple resolutions the LCD's would have a better arguement. This is a great quote:
Is there something out there that can test the quality of a burned DVD disk? Several times I have used Xcopy or similar software to burn movies to DVD. After I have burned a DVD, I quickly skip through each chapter to see if the burn went well. I have found several times I get "blocking"...
If there were ever a question about what rebates are about, here it is. Kingston is offering a rebate if you buy certain memory from their site. Think about it. Why do you need to send in a manufactuer's rebate when you are buying directly from the manufactuer? Why don't they just give you...
I understand that the adapter has to be plugged in the you must press the power button. The problem as stated earlier is that when I plug the a/c adapter in the unit turns on by itself. Several LED's go on but that is it. There is nothing on the screen and the hard drive does not spin up...
I have an HP Pavillion Notebook. It does not boot. When I have the a/c adapter plugged in the notebook lights up without pressing the power button. The hard drive or exhaust fan does not start up. At this point the notebook is completely frozen. When I remove the ac adapter the lights go...
Got mine in the mail on Thursday. Burned a couple of DVD's with no problem. Flashed to the 1300a firmware for the heck of it. I don't believe it could hurt. Going to try to burn some -R's later. Great Deal!
Purchased last night and I have already received a USPS Priority tracking number. It may be possible to flash or "hack" this drive to a dual format ND-1300A (dual format -/+). Just google "1100A flash 1300A".
Bought two. They are actually an Ebay store with a 99.3% rating. I've been burned before by online merchants. That is what credit card companies are for. They take the risk for you. It may take time, but you will eventually get your money back. Anyway, I will respond when I get the drives...
Aloha guys,
In Hawaii, CompUSA had only the blue PCB as did the CC. I bought one from CC anyway and flashed it to the 5950u 128mb. The heatsink on this card is very big so I believe it should be okay to run it like this. I will check next week anyway. Perhaps it take a little long to reach...
I removed the stock thermal substance on the heatsink and applied Artic Silver with no better results. When I close the side panel the fan really spins up (44-48C). I am using a standard midtower case w/one exhaust and one intake fan so airflow is decent. I myself run an Athlon with 3 intake...
I am putting together a P4 3.0G 800fsb HT retail processor with the standard heatsink/fan. The board that I am using is an MSI PT880 (sis chipset) motherboard. I have noticed that the cpu temps run about 40-48C. That might be okay but when it gets hot the fan for the heatsink spins at about...
I removed the ide cables completely with the same result (running with sata raid). I did get the hard drive to ghost onto a cdr. My only concern now is why the bars always start from the far left.
If I am not mistaken, when the blue bars run across the screen the computer is loading various...
I have brought up many systems and have never seen the bars start from the far left all the time. On the initial Windows 2000 startup it starts from the left but subsequent startups start from the middle. Perhaps it is normal to start from the far left on some system but I have never seen...
