    USB Audio pops after increasing monitor resolution

    That's an interesting article. I'm going to try an see if I can figure out how to increase the audio buffer. Doesn't seem like there's a direct setting for it in Win7. If anyone knows I'd appreciate the help.

    USB Audio pops after increasing monitor resolution

    Well I couldn't figure out a fix for this so I went out and got a new video card. Got a Sapphire HD7850 1GB. The problem is definitely a lot better but is still happening occasionally. Anyone have a suggestion? I'd really appreciate it. If it was an interrupt conflict issue I'm still not...

    USB Audio pops after increasing monitor resolution

    Thank you for your reply. I checked the ASUS BIOS and there is no setting for APIC anywhere. I'm not too well versed in IRQ stuff, but as far as I can tell in Device Manager there are no IRQ conflicts. There is no IRQ listing for the USB Audio or MM1. There is a setting for the video card...

    USB Audio pops after increasing monitor resolution

    I just upgraded my monitor from a 23" 1680x1050 to a 27" Dell U2711 2560x1440. Ever since that I'm getting frequent audio pops/skips via my USB B&W MM1 speakers when listening to music. I've updated the usb controller drivers to the most recent Intel ones. Windows says my USB Audio drivers...

    Iron Man 2 Blu-Ray (w/digital copy) $15+tax shipped @ Walmart.com

    Just got an email from Walmart saying my order was cancelled due to insufficient stock. What BS. If you want to cancel the order for a pricing mistake just say so. Don't say it's insufficient stock when you're still selling the item, just at a higher price.

    Is a 9400GT an upgrade from a 7900GS?

    Right now I'm looking at getting a 9400GT for $30 or a GT220 for $50. If all I want to do is be able to run Windows 7 better and have improved video playback are these decent choices? Is there something else for around the same amount that would also give better performance?

    Is a 9400GT an upgrade from a 7900GS?

    My main reason for upgrading is according to the Windows Upgrade Advisor, Aero won't work well with my card. Other than that the only benefit I'd want to get out of a new card would be one with better integrated video playback.

    Is a 9400GT an upgrade from a 7900GS?

    I'm upgrading to Windows 7 and the upgrade advisor says my 7900GS won't work well with Windows 7. I wanted to get a new, inexpensive video card that would work better with Windows 7. Would a 9400GT be a step up or down from a 7900GS? Based on the specs it seems like it might be a step down...

    Upgrading P35 to P45, will it require reinstalling Windows XP?

    My Abit IP35-E MB died. I need a new MB but would prefer to not have to reinstall Windows XP at this time. Would upgrading from a P35 to P45 MB allow that or should I just get another P35 board

    Abit NF-7 motherboard died

    I've tried it with nothing but the CPU and RAM and it still won't start (fans won't turn on, nothing). I guess it's just broke. I was hoping there was some quick fix so I didn't have to wait the month or so it'll take to fix it by RMA.

    Abit NF-7 motherboard died

    I've had a NF-7 rev 2.0 for about 7 months, the other day it stopped working. I had the computer on overnight. When I woke up it was working fine. I went to click on a drive that had powered down and the computer froze. When I hit reset it froze at the drive detection part of POST. I was on my...

    *** Official ABIT NF7/S (nForce2) Thread ***

    I got a NF-7 board and had been using a PCI soundcard I had, but decided to try the built in card to test the quality. When I play MP3s with the on-board sound it get tons of random skips like the APU is having problems processing the load. This is happening with a 1700XP and everything at...

    DEAD: 80GB 8MB Maxtor Hard drive at Staples for $29.98?! AR B&M and Online

    I love this forum. I just read this post at 1:00am on 5-17 and was thinking I probably missed out on the Outpost PM because it wasn't 5-16 anymore. Well Oupost still had it on they're site for 59.99 so I immediately called Staples. I got them to PM it to 97.99 and am getting 14.36 back after...

    *OOS* AMD Athlon XP T-Bred B 1700+ OEM - $44 shipped

    I ordered one of these about a month ago from GG. Got a JIUHB0311XPMW. With my new Abit NF7 board I could only get it up to 1.8 ghz at default 1.6v. The highest I could get it to go was 2 ghz with 1.75v. Couldn't get it stable any higher no matter the voltage or FSB. I have to say I'm...

    what's holding me from hitting 2ghz with 1700+??

    I didn't try upping the chipset voltage, never thought of it. I don't know what the northbridge is running at though because it doesn't have a sensor. It does have a fan on it though, so I'd think I could get away with upping the voltage at least a little. I did try getting over 2GHz with a...

    Problem with mouse and keyboard occasionally not turning on at bootup

    My setup is stable in Prime95 for 8+ hrs, but I don't think that or the drivers woud make a difference since the problem is the mouse or keyboard not powering up at startup/POST (not only once Windows starts). I'm putting my board back to default settings to see if it happens again. I did...

    Problem with mouse and keyboard occasionally not turning on at bootup

    I haven't upgraded to the latest BIOS (I have v1.0). I guess I'll try putting it back to stock speed and see if it happens again. When the USB mouse doesn't work, I've tried unplugging it and plugging it back in while Windows was up but it didn't do anything.

    what's holding me from hitting 2ghz with 1700+??

    Anyone know what could be limiting my overclock. I have an Abit NF7 v2 board which I believe has a AGP/PCI lock, so that shouldn't be a problem. I have PC2100 RAM, but since the board allows me to run it at a different speed than the FSB, I'm only running the RAM at 133. Still, I can't get my...

    Problem with mouse and keyboard occasionally not turning on at bootup

    I recently got a new Abit NF7 v2 board and about half a dozen times in the last 2 weeks either the keyboard or mouse (never both together) don't power up at boot. I have a standard keyboard hooked up via the PS/2 port and a USB mouse. When it happens the computer will boot into Windows...

    what's holding me from hitting 2ghz with 1700+??

    What's the stepping of your chip? I'm having problems getting my 1700 over 2 Ghz too. I have a: AXDA1700DUT3C 9429157270622 JIUHB0311XPMW While I know the DLT3C chips are supposed to be better overclockers, I've read several reports of people with DUT3C chips gettin over 2.1 GHZ at...

    What version of AMD XP 1700+ do you get now @ googlegear?

    You got almost the same kind of chip I got(9429157270622 vs 9429157271123) and I can't get mine over 2 Gig (200x10) and that took upping the volts to 1.75v. I tried getting it up to 2.1 Gig and it wouldn't run stable (I tried upping the volt all the way to 1.85 but Prime95 still crashed...

    My Optical mouse stays lit after I shut down. Im using a Soyo 845PE lite Motherboard.

    I had this same problem with my Logitech optical mouse when I upgraded to an Abit NF7 board. Plugged the mouse into the USB instead of the ps2 and now the led goes off at shutdown. The only problem is for some reason I can't get Win98 to detect my mouse via USB. I normally use WinXP, but for...

    Is my 1700+ a dud?

    I'm currently running my ram at it's default speed of 266(and default SPD settings) so that it doesn't interfere with the stability. I know I can't get the ram over 333 since its only PC2100 (possibly PC2700), so I'm never going to be able to run it at the FSB. I'm beginging to think that...

    What version of AMD XP 1700+ do you get now @ googlegear?

    For anyone interested, I can't get this chips over 1.9 GHz at default voltage. If I up the voltage I can get it to 2 GHz, but with my board beeping at me like crazy. This batch doesn't seem to be that great of an overclocker.

    Does 6ns memory = PC2700?

    Well I bumped the voltage to 2.7v and it will run at 333, but nothing higher. If I try upping the voltage to 2.8 (the next setting up on my Abit NF7), my BIOS freezes. So I guess I'll have to be happy with what I've got. I wasn't expecting alot, but it definitely doesn't appear to be very...

    Will Buying an NF7 (no serial ata) avoide Bios/data corruptioN?

    I just got a regular NF7 from excaliberpc last week. It does have a digital out, but I don't think it does real time 5.1 encoding (I think it just outputs a digital stereo PCM stream). Other than that I think it's the same sound chip as the NF7-S so the analog quality should be the same. With...

    I got a TBred B 1700+ last week with the stepping: AXDA1700DUT3C 9429157270622 JIUHB0311XPMW I can't get it to run stably in Prime95 at anything higher than about 1900 Mhz (200x9.5 or 166x11.5 are both stable) at default voltage (1.6v) and it takes raising the voltage to 1.7v to get it to...

    Does 6ns memory = PC2700?

    I got some PC2100 memory from Office Depot a couple of weeks ago. Based on a thread in the Hot Deals forum there were some packages that had 6ns sticks in them instead of 7.5ns chips and these were supposed to be PC2700 memory packaged as PC2100. Well I got 2 sticks of the 6ns PC2100 memory...

    I don't know what causes it, but I just got a 1700+ that I've been trying to overclock and I got random beeping whenever I tried to put it over 2 GHz. It ran stable in Prime95, but would constantly beep. My board is a Abit NF7. I attributed it to probably having a poor quality power supply...

    *** Official ABIT NF7/S (nForce2) Thread ***

    Thanks for your reply. That's cool that it locks the PCI to 33, now I don't have to worry about my cards running unstable. Anyone know what that jumper by the AGP port does? The only other jumper on the board is the CMOS reset, so I have no idea what this one could be.

    Coolermaster HAC-V81 install question

    Well, my chip isn't exactly running cool (42 degrees with no load; 49-50 under full load), but it seems to be stable so I wont' bother lapping for now. Maybe when I get some free time thought I'll try it and see what a difference it makes.
