    hard disk

    I thought I had it there... i finished the zero write using seatools, restarted and windows 7 actually started installing! then about 1 minute into it, an error came up - something about not having data to copy. I reset the computer, it said there is no bootmgr, so it wouldn't even get into...

    I've never done a zero-write, thought you'd meant a full format which I had done. I'll try a zero-write and hopefully that'll do the job.

    hard disk

    This is getting ridiculous... it's got to be a motherboard issue. I tried a different hard drive, an older seagate 500gb, and this is what is showing up when I try to install windows (was using a 64 bit version, also tried a 32 bit disc, same thing): I used a usb stick to install chipset...

    hard disk

    Right, that's the odd part. It does show in the BIOS but not the windows 7 boot process.

    hard disk

    The disk did have something on it before. Overnight I did a 'clean all' on it using the machine that can see it. I'll try a full format on it right now as well. If that doesn't work I'll try supplying the chipset drivers.

    Sorry, it's an Intel DH61SA

    hard disk

    I'm trying to install Windows 7 on a new machine. I'm just using a 1tb WD Green hard drive. When I try to install windows, it shows that there are no disks available to install onto. It DOES show up in the BIOS. I followed a guide on another forum that said when at windows installation to...

    Intermittent freezing with GTX670

    Alright, just a follow up. I got my hands on another system with an ATI 6570 video card. I put it in mine and everything worked fine... Then I put my GTX 670 in this new system and it seemed to work fine as well. I decided to completely reformat and reinstall Windows 7 and (*drumroll)...

    Intermittent freezing with GTX670

    I tried lower the settings in Absolution to "low" and turned off anti-aliasing. This ended up using around 700 mb of video memory, and it still seemed to do the same thing. I just tried running Heaven Benchmark with settings that resulted in around 800 mb of video memory. It's a bit weirder...

    Intermittent freezing with GTX670

    Thanks for all of the responses. Ok, so I've completely disabled my onboard sound, and it didn't make a difference. I've taken a screenshot of the GPU activity while playing Hitman Absolution: The green arrows are pointing at the time when the game was completely frozen. It's...

    Intermittent freezing with GTX670

    I've tried monitoring the DPC latency using this: http://www.thesycon.de/deu/latency_check.shtml So far it's never come out of the green, even during a short freeze. I've installed the latest sound card driver from Realtek. Also, the CPU and GPU clock speeds are rock solid. Edit: I've updated...

    Intermittent freezing with GTX670

    I have an i5-2500k, 8GB of RAM and a Gigabyte GTX 670 video card. For the last week or so I've been getting intermittent freezing in 3d games, where the framerate will be good and all of a sudden the screen will freeze for about 4 or 5 seconds, then go back to regular gameplay for 10 seconds...

    Colors are often messed up in full-screen

    This must be the issue... it only ever happens on the Westinghouse TV.

    Colors are often messed up in full-screen

    I have an ATI 6570 in my HTPC. The computer is connected to my Onkyo TX-SR308 receiver which is then connected to my HDTV (an old 32" Westinghouse LCD). For some reason, I'd say around 25% of the time, whenever I try to play a game in full-screen, the colors are completely messed up, it...
