Hello. One of the big things in monitor advertising is adaptive sync (Freesync/G-Sync). I was wondering: if you have a monitor capable of 120Hz or higher refresh rates, wouldn't V-Sync alone be adequate? AFAIK adaptive sync was to resolve the stuttering issues that occurred when low monitor...

More gut feeling. Given that the problems state was determinable before any component of the OS loaded I assumed it had to be hardware/firmware. The only other change in my system was the fact that now instead of starting up off BIOS, my motherboard was starting from UEFI firmware. The box of my...

Ah Hah! When going to bed last night I had a thought. It wasn't relevant so I thought a bit more before coming to that idea that it might be a UEFI issue. I updated the UEFI firmware for the motherboard and all is good! The motherboard was an ASRock 930 Pro3 R2.0 FYI

The chipset drivers I have installed are off the manufacturer's CD and the WEI is current.

I uninstalled Catalyst, scrubbed the drivers and restored Windows default drivers. I tried it while in that state and the issue still happened. Installed original driver DVDs, same issue. (In fact, the video card booklet simply tole me to get drivers from AMD). I'm fairly sure it's a hardware...

The motherboard does not have any onboard video adapter. As an experiment I shut the computer down then switched it back on. Here I would expect Windows to start with the Aero/video problem in effect. Instead, I rebooted at the bootloader (GRUB) before any components of Windows were loaded then...

It wouldn't be an Android OS by any chance? I had as similar issue specific to Android.

NP I completely uninstalled the entire Catalyst package but no difference unfortunately. What on earth could be different between starting Windows from a clean reboot as opposed to a clean shutdown?

I seem to have narrowed down the issue further. When Windows starts up from a system reboot, the Aero/multimedia issue is fine. When Windows starts up from cold boot. The problem recurs. I have tested this several times. I have no idea why this happens or how to proceed though.

As mentioned, video works fine with third party players such as VLC and MPlayer. Unfortunately disabling acceleration in Media Player did nothing. *Edit* I've also removed all video and media acceleration options from the Catalyst install manager. Once again on the first restart things went...

I neglected to mention that this problem coincides with the installation of a new motherboard. Both used the Catalyst system drivers. I have attempted using earlier versions with no success.

Hello. I'm having a problem that I haven't been able to sort out for a week now so am asking for advice on the issue. I have an odd problem where after one or two reboots of my computer Windows Aero will permanently disable and windows media will stop playing videos properly, either giving...

From what I've seen so far of the Cisco ASA5505 in terms of marketing material/specs, it seems a reasonable unit. What does it lack compared to other high-end offerings?

Thanks very much for the responses. I wholly agree with the preference of purchasing from vendors with established reputations and experience, however in many cases I'm looking at very small businesses with only several employees who don't want to spend much, if anything, not immediately...

Hello, I was hoping to get a little insight on the all-in-one network edge security devices that are becoming more commonplace. I intend on recommending them to a few small businesses that I support to complement their existing protective measures. There appears to be an enormous price range...
