    Display driver crashes, BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER, nvmfdx32.dll errors

    Update: I turned my computer on when I got home at ~6pm last night. It downloaded torrents until about 10pm without issues. I then made it batch-encode a bunch of videos, which took about an hour (using all cores and all that). I then watched an HD video for about 30 minutes. The computer...

    Display driver crashes, BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER, nvmfdx32.dll errors

    Mem: Thanks for the reply. I ran memtest86 a couple months ago when I first set it up and all was good. I'll try removing some of the RAM and trying it again tomorrow. Just an update with perhaps more information: I had left the PC off last night and turned it on again at around 2pm...

    Display driver crashes, BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER, nvmfdx32.dll errors

    It's 3:20am here and I'm exhausted, so I apologize if this doesn't make a whole lot of sense: First my specs: Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 (@ stock speeds/volts) ASUS Striker Extreme (680i SLI) motherboard 4GB PC8500 RAM @ stock SPD speeds/volts) eVGA GeForce 8800 Ultra Windows Vista...

    Low memory bandwidth with PC9200 RAM and 680i?

    My ASUS Striker Extreme (680i chipset, 1102 BIOS) with 2 DIMMs, each 1GB, of Mushkin XP2-9200 RAM (5-5-4-12, 2.3V) consistently gets ~5.8GB/s of memory bandwidth according to the latest version of SiSoft Sandra, running in Windows Vista. The CPU is a Core 2 QX6700 @ 2.9GHz (1066 system bus...

    Really weird Athlon 64 issue...

    I've tried RAM from another computer, and the video card from another computer, on the new mobo and it doesn't fix it. The fans turn on on the video card, though, but still no signal. And I do not hear ANY beeps when posting, even when I remove the CPU. That means the PS or the CPU is...

    Really weird Athlon 64 issue...

    I was installing a wireless PCI card into my computer (Antec TruePower 380W PS, Athlon 64 3200+, Athlon 64 3200+, ASUS K8V Deluxe, 2 x 512MB OCZ PC3200 Platinum EL), with the power cable unplugged, when all of the sudden the fans turned on for about half a second. I then immediately smelled the...

    Abnormally hot Athlon XP 2600+ (Barton)

    I helped my friend build his computer a couple months ago. We originally used a really cheap $30 ATX case and stock cooling on everything. The CPU was VERY hot (idle at 60(!)). So we got him a good case with good airflow, including a fan at the front to pull in cooler air and two at the back...

    Gigabyte nForce 2 Motherboards: RealTek vs. Nvidia

    Oh, I see. Duh. I didn't realize that only the MCP-T had SoundStorm. Makes sense now, thanks! :)

    Gigabyte nForce 2 Motherboards: RealTek vs. Nvidia

    Can someone please explain the relationship between a "Realtek AC650 AC97 Codec" and "Nvidia MCP"? I'm having major problems with sound (it's defaulting to software sound, Nvidia ForceWare say I don't have an Nvidia MCP, etc. How do I disable RealTek and enable Nvidia? Anyone know? ...

    Gigabyte GA-7N400-L Integrated Sound

    I'm helping my friend build a computer. He's got a Gigabyte GA-7N400-L, so we're trying to use the onboard sound since it's pretty good. He's got some 5.1 speakers for it, as well (Logitech 640s). Sound only ever wanted to come out of the front speakers, though everything was hooked up right...

    Radeon Mobility 7500 TV-Out Problems

    I'm trying to use the S-Video out on my IBM ThinkPad T40, which has a Radeon Mobility 7500 32MB inside. I've got the latest drivers from IBM for it. When I enable the TV-out, the picture quality on the TV is atrocious. There are weird red lines everywhere, text is blurry and each line seems...

    I couldn't access that card link, as I'm not an AnandTech subscriber. Thanks for the Snapstream link though.
