Solved it. Turns out is was Nforce 4 drivers for the motherboard causing the issue. I installed the most upto date driver and bam. It works.
Thanks for the help.
It's bizarre, the machine will post with it in and get to the loading win XP screen, then freeze. I put the X800XL back in, no problem. I have removed and cleaned the drivers, reinstalled windows and performed sacrifices over the machine to no effect.
I know it is not power (Hiper Type M...
I have just got hold of a 8800GTS (Club 3D) to plonk in to my older system. It currently has a MSI Neo4F socket 939 board and the card does not appear to be compatible with it. Will it be compatible with the Asrock 939NF6G-VSTA Micro ATX board from here? There is also the Asus A8N32-SLi...
I tnik he means that you would need a HDCP compiant card if you wanted to use HDDVD or a Blueray drive. If you don't (ie just using AVI. Mov, mkv etc) it shouldn't be an issue.
One word of advice though if you get a Nvidia card you can use the Nvidia purevideo codec which is awsome for...
I would definatly consider the dual core intels, they do seem to handle video better and they run quite cool which is important if you're not a fan of fan noise. You shouldn't need anything more beefy than a 7600 as a graphics card, it will do 1080p with ease and you could probably get away...
On mine I went with the ASrock micro ATX board (945G) as it was the only one I could find at the time, nice board but not enough usb headers on the board to accomodate everything on the front of the Fusion case (who uses firewire anyway)? It's a conroe system which works great for media...
Well, tried the other laptop and still the same issues. I have just talked to Samsung support :rolleyes: and they are going to send an engineer out at some point.
Hi,
I've just purchased a Samsung LE32N73BDX with the intention of using it with my HTPC. It connects with a standard VGA cable rather than component leads from a geforce 7600 gs.
The problem is the tv will not detect the PC connection, the Samsung shows the PC connection as greyed out...
Just as a little leftfield Highland malt, you could do a lot worse than Stronachie, I found this one recently at a local resturant and its become a firm favorite. It's quite fruity and richer than a lot of Highland malts and is quite excellent.
Cool, The Antec case looks like it will do nicely.
As for the GPU, it's not really going to be a gaming box, I'm just looking for a cheap way to fill the PCIe slot and to add a little punch, nice spot on the shared memory though. That I do not like.
What about the EVGA GeForce 7300 GS...
I always promised myself I wouldn't do this but hey ho!
Anyway I am building a cheap rig for a mate for general home office/internet use, not really a gaming machine. I have tried to make it future proof(ish), and have had to include Monitor and keyboard, I already have a mouse for it...
