aye did that. no change. could there be a bios setting or something im missing? mobo is an MSI K8NGM2-FID (AMI bios ver 350) with 2GB of GSkill Ram. I have a peripheral codec pack installed. Could that or the onboard video be causing the crashes?

I've tried to scan both digital and analog in WinTV 6 and the BeyondTV trial with the same result. The scanning process starts but then crashes at about 5-8% into the scan. Help please.

Only thing bad about my setup is that I can't seem to keep the 4x512 stable at ddr400, and on auto settings it defaults to ddr333 at 2T command timings. Quite annoying, but only a minor issue that could be cured by some high branded pc3200. A 2x1GB config would be much better tho for...

Dunno to be honest, never tried a setup with two different pairs. The manual advises being brand consistent, tho I'm not really sure how important that is given the maturity of the board and pc3200. Page 2-12 of the mobo manual gives the details: DIMM Support: Option C - support for four...

check my sig. just rolled up a similar system. I grabbed an opty 180 of newegg for $139 and two 8600gt's upgrading from my dual EN6600GT's. Get yourself a Geil 2GB kit to go with that and you should be all set. Kingston KVR is also a cheap and super stable alternative. I picked the 8600's cos...

I had a friend with a similar issue and it seemed to be heat related since he kept his case in one of those desk cabinets. Try checking your ventilation and maybe adding a fan. Another note: Shortly thereafter, I accquired said K7M machine from my friend and the PSU flamed out. Board and CPU...

Checkout out Headroom they have a wide selection with reviews and some factory deals. Personally, I've been eyeing a pair of SR-60's myself, but I've used a pair of Sony MDR-V300's for ages.

Just curious if anyone has had any experience with the new Happauge Cadillac. Interested if there are any differences in picture quality, QAM control, and software compatibility (BTV, GB-PVR etc.). Found a reasonable deal on the WinTV-HVR-1800, but I haven't seen any reviews yet, so I am not...

Asus A7N8X was also popular, and widely used with the Barton/Mobile Barton XP 3500 from what I can recall.

1and1.com offers MS Hosting with 5 GB webspace, 500 email accounts, and a free .com, .net, .org starting at like $2 usd a month for 6 months. a pretty good deal imo. www.1and1.com

the comment was something i saw in the newegg reviews of the Seagate 320. i thought it seemed rather odd, but i figured i'd ask anyways. Newegg is having a deal on the 320's so ima gonna pounce. thanks for the input.

can anyone recommend an appropriate HD for an HTPC? I wasn't sure how much a hard drive would effect capture and encoding performance. I was thinking 2x Seagate 320GB drive or at least an 80GB and a 320GB drive, but I 've seen some comments that Seagates seem to record capture slower and with...

Gotta question. So I missed the mad grab for cheap sckt 939 x2 3800's, now demand has jacked the price back up close to 200usd. The question is, should I shell out the cash for the performance of an x2 3800 or should I pickup a cheap a64 3200 Venice for 69usd from ZZF? Or should I wait for...

http://cgi.ebay.com/MSI-K8NGM2-FID-NVID...4QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem this was the last place i could find one. cost an arm and a leg tho. hopefully it will pay off.

apologize, i am out of ideas. I had good luck with the msi email-online tech support, and they seemed to reply quite fast. I know several people in this thread have run into the rebooting issue. If you have the D-bracket installed i'd watch that and see where the boot fails then return the...
