    Third reinstall in as many weeks...

    I was happily running win2k pro for over eight months without issue. Then one day, I reboot, and it blue screens in the transition between the VGA-mode loading screen and switching to my desktop resolution. That's not to say that it's a graphics issue, that's just the point at which it happens...

    Complaints about the new site design

    Yeah, the layout is cleaner, but at the cost of functionality.

    I didn't think it would fit there, technically this isn't a forum issue...

    Complaints about the new site design

    The search bar at the top of the page is just ugly. The whole thing looks like an iSomething color scheme, and that disgusts me. I miss having the black background and the associated color scheme. It's too widely spaced out, and thus wasteful of screen space. The features bar is annoying and...

    For the owners of MSI K7T Pro/2a boards

    damac... screen going blank... it sounds familiar =( It might manifest itself only with certain video cards, but even that's unacceptable. It doesnt sound like a driver issue, those are usually blue screens or crashes.

    For the owners of MSI K7T Pro/2a boards

    I did a BIOS update not long ago, can't recall the version right now, but it was the latest non-beta bios about three weeks ago. I'm using detonator 6.50 on win2k here. My cooling is a chrome orb (yeah, it sucks, but I'm not big on the whole computer-cases-as-jet-engines mentality) and a...

    Temp monitoring on the MSI K7T Pro2

    Does anyone know what chip the MSI K7T Pro2 board uses for the hardware monitoring, or better still, what program, other the awful one on the mobo cd, will work with it? Thanks...

    Problems with video playback

    Tried latest official detonator drivers from the Nvidia site, and the custom ones on the Asus V7700 CD. No difference.

    Problems with video playback

    All I can tell you is what I've already tried. I tried getting different versions of mciqtz.drv and quartz.vxd, because DXdiag reported that they were beta versions. This did not help. I've only had one reboot during video playback, and that was related to my chip being unable to run at 900 (I...

    Crashing/Reboot while playing Video Files??

    I just made a new post describing the same problem, then I found yours... The only thing we seem to have in common is an MSI mobo. Mine is the MSI K7T Pro2a (KT133).

    Problems with video playback

    When watching movies (mpeg1 or divx), I frequently get a blue screen, with no way of recovering after that. I'm running win98se on a tbird 850 (was 750), MSI K7T Pro2a, 256MB generic ram, Asus v7700. The machine is perfectly stable for everything else; it is under constant cpu load thanks to...
