I want to convert all my old tapes to DVD and then at some time edit the video off the DVD's to make a final presentable DVD. I have Studio by Pinnacle, but I am not sure I can capture video off a DVD placed into the DVD drive to edit. Do I need any special hardware or do I just play the video...

I first noticed it with FEAR. The intro when the Sierra mountain is coming on the screen is all choppy. The game itself will play fine through the tests, but crash if you try to play the game giving me the message about the nVidia drivers not functioning properly. I can't figure it out...

Both computers have 600 Watt Enermax Noisetaker SLi Ready power supplies. I don't think that is it, but I also switched those to see if it made a difference.....it didn't. :( I may have to try a fresh install on an IDE setup and see if it is the NVidia sata raid drivers screwing up the whole...

Is it saying that it can't find your XBox 360 when you run the media connect program? Also make sure your xbox has nobody signed on when you try to install the network connection. I had the same problem and it ended up being as simple as being signed in when you are not supposed to be.

I had crazy problems with XP after I installed SP2. The computer would freeze, not shut down, etc. Then I tried a fresh install, on a new computer I built for a friend, with SP2 already included on the install CD and no problems. So I buy a new XP CD with SP2 already included, do a fresh...

I have two almost identical computers, both with 7800GTX's running in SLi, both with the same NVidia chipsets, but one is Asus and the other is MSI (NVidia NForce4x16 I think). I am running raid0 raptors in the MSI Diamond Plus and non raid in the Asus (couldn't get windows to recognize at...

That's almost identical to my system minus the 3700+. Just a thought, but maybe you are overheating. I do not have the problems you are having, but my system was getting way too hot. If I tried to game, the temp alarms would go off....the case airflow was not good enough. I would then...

I just put together a computer that would not post. I checked all the connections and everything looked good, but nothing would happen....no beeps, just spinning fans. I took the entire thing apart and noticed that my CPU wasn't completely flush. Once I reinserted the CPU everything began to...

Well, I figured out it was a motherboard problem. Returned the motherboard and we'll see what happens next time round. How did I figure it out? First took all the components out and placed in my other computer. It ran like a champ. Next, got an identical motherboard and it was smoking fast...

My computer did the same thing. I uninstalled the game, reinstalled the chipset drivers and video card drivers, then reinstalled the game and it worked! Why? I have no idea, but it did.

No, you are not an idiot. I swapped video cards and that didn't work. However....while the computer was open, I noticed that the primary card heatsink fan was spinning slower than the secondary card's fan. Maybe there is not enough power going to one vs the other or something is wrong with...

I forgot to mention that games seem to crash or run like crap during cutscenes or videos....except for quake 4.

Sorry I forgot to mention the PS: New computer with the problem has a 620W Enermax Liberty "Old" computer has a 600W Enermax Noisetaker I don't think the PS is causing any problems. The cards are connected with the dedicated PCI-e connectors off the PS. I will give the driver cleaner...

Just built a new computer w following specs: MSI Diamond w SLIx16 AMD FX-60 EVGA 7800 GTX SLI 2GB XMS Corsair RAM DDR400 Plextor 708A DVD X-Fi Soundblaster Seagate Sata Drives in Raid 0 This computer beeps about 2 times/sec until windows starts then seems to run fine. All is good...
