    Should I use AMD ATI setup for chipset drivers?

    Apparently asking this question on the MSI user forums is an instant ban, no message /notice / reason given other than "spam" offense (waited 3 days for a response, then added that I guess I will come here to get an answer, waited another day, logged in to ban notice for spam), so I am asking at...

    Help! Am I missing something using HDMI?

    I have my GTX 670 installed and connected the two DVI plugs for my Acer and Asus monitors, and plugged in the HDMI cable to the third monitor (Asus, same model as other Asus; delivered today).

    Newb help on tri-monitor setup

    (since 4 hours have passed on WSGForums without a reply I hope I get one here sooner) I have two 24" LCDs. If I can afford a third I will get one but know nothing about how to do it. The LCDs are plugged into both LCD ports on my one graphics card. I assume I need a mb with dual PCI-E as...

    Suggestions for replacement hsf MSI GTX 460 Hawk

    One of the fans on this card has gone out. I have seen Arctic Cooling with their plastic Accelero Xtreme/Turbo lines but was wondering of any others that could easily be installed and not be so large that they extend past the card like the Xtreme line does. Spending over $80 for one is a...

    Just found out PartitionMagic is no more. What to use for W7?

    I used this years ago up to version 8, and heard how Symantec bought the company and was offering it. Now I see they discontinued it. I know about G-Parted but I want something I can use from within windows. Using that is a bit more 'complicated' than I want; having to make a USB boot and...

    Just received my MSI N460GTX Hawk and driver questions

    I haven't had an nvidia card in several years. I had one maybe early 2000 then when upgrading went with AMD. Now I am back with this card thanks to the Hot Deals forum. MSI has their driver dated "Release Date 2010-09-20" on their website for W7 x64. The Geforce website lets you...

    Fresh xp install error

    my friend had xp installed from a previous owner but no cd. He had probably junk that wasn't needed so I said I would give him my cd since I am using 7. I started it all up, did the full reformat, then got to a point where I was going to start installing then had to cancel out and put in my...

    Vista reported HDD reporting errors but not Seagate

    A couple nights ago a pop up from Vista said my Seagate HDD reported errors and may be failing. I ran Seagate Sea Tools with the short tests and received Pass. The SMART test failed but I don't know offhand if that drive has that capability. This drive is the secondary drive so it isn't OS...

    Any headset / mics that don't fail after a few months?

    early last year I bought some Logitech headset with a mic (goes over the ear type, hurts my ears eventually due to glasses). It cost about $30. About 3 months later the wire right at the headset started to apparently wear out. I started losing sound in one ear, then eventually the other, while...

    Windows Media Player and Vista 64 Ultimate

    Anyone with Vista (64) losing wireless connection

    I recently went from XP pro to this. I don't recall losing connection so much prior to SP1, but I seem to notice it more after installing SP 2. I can go for hours and suddenly I can't get a page. I look at the system tray icon and sometimes it will show nothing unusual, so I just...

    Need partitioning software for Vista 64 ultimate

    I used to use PM 8. I looked on the Symantec website and it says PM8 is not supported for Vista 64. I looked at Partition Commander and it says (Fry's website) What can you recommend if PM8 etc can't even work on Vista 64 bit?

    opinions MSI 770-C45

    I first looked at the 790fx-gd70, but I don't have the money to spend on something I can't fill the slots with 4 graphics cards. I did a Newegg search for 1 PCIe slot and this board came up. I already have waiting a Phenom x2.

    I download via torrents TV shows to watch. Lately I have noticed while playing in either VLC or WMP 11 in XP Pro, that the video may occasionally stutter a few sec/slow down. I have two drives that I have partitions on. I thought maybe it was just defrag needs so did both/all partitions a...

    Switch from Connect3D x800 flashed BIOS to EVGA 8600GT PCIe?

    I was wondering how much of an upgrade this would be on my 939 system. I am still using the flashed BIOS x800 card (opened up all pipelines but never overclocked it as I suck at doing that). Eve Online premium graphics require a shader model 3.0+ card, and the 8600gt is 4.0. It is also...

    What's 'new'ish to stick with 939 from Opteron 146

    I bought the 146 back when they were the buzz here. I was wondering in order to play today's graphics combined with a newer card (x800 unlocked; I will look into that later), what is the thing to get today that will keep me from changing motherboards, sticking with 939? I want the best...

    Another Witcher contract: Cockatrices

    I fear this is another example of killing monsters before you have the contract. The cave in the swamp was filled with them previously when the druid guy wanted his mushroom. Now when I have the contract, the cave is replaced once again with respawning wolves. There are no cockatrices in...

    Witcher ini file for res / refresh?

    When I change from 1680x1050 (default desktop using 100 MHZ) in-game to 1280x800, the game doesn't seem to use the highest refresh my monitor can do. The screen is all jittery and hard on the eyes. Some parts of the game (Trade Quarter) get my FPS down in the teens so I need to either...
