    Audio questions

    I have a set of Klisch 4.1 speakers, but as they are all set in front of me while at the computer, I want to take the two rear satellites and run them out of my TV (Vizio E420VL). To do this I would need to convert the bear ends of the speaker wire coming out of the satellites to RCA's, and not...

    I want the Win 7 Black Theme

    Before I finally registered my copy of Windows, it had told me that my copy may not be genuine, and my theme went black. Well, I remembered to register and it went back to normal theme, but I want the black one back and now I can't find it. Any suggestions?

    Win 7 will run in safe mode, but crashes otherwise

    I'm thinking it actually was the video card. I replaced it on my MB with an older gforce 7600 and now everything is running like a charm. I'll RMA this one and see how things go...

    Win 7 will run in safe mode, but crashes otherwise

    I mentioned in the main thread that I've tried disabling startup items in msconfig with no effect, and that this happens on a clean install as well.

    Win 7 will run in safe mode, but crashes otherwise

    Hey all, I've been battling a problem for several months now, but have been too busy at work to really sit down with it. My computer will run fine in safe mode, but otherwise usually won't even get into Windows 7, or if it does the little blue thinking circle/cursor spins reeeaaallly slowly...

    Win 7 Resolution Problems

    I'm using an HDMI cable. I'm running the newest Catalyst drivers. I've tried the custom setup with Powerstrip, but I don't know if I'm doing it correctly.

    Win 7 Resolution Problems

    Tried both of these, and still nothing. I even did a full re-install of Win 7 and have the same problem. Other ideas?

    Win 7 Resolution Problems

    Weird problem here. I'm triple booting (just because I haven't erased XP) with Win 7 RC, Ultimate, and XP. In RC and XP my resolution of 1920x1080 looks fine, but in the Win 7 Ultimate it's leaving about a 3/4 inch border around the desktop of unused space. I've tried reinstalling Catalyst...

    HDD will format to FAT32 but not NTFS

    I've been running the 32 bit Windows 7 for a couple of months, but since I have 4 gigs of RAM, I decided to try the 64 bit version. I made the ISO of it, and went to install, but when I told it to format the partition where the old Windows 7 had been, it said it couldn't, but it cleared the...

    Can't find my Windows 7

    I'm using 7057. Right now in Device Manager it says the Nvidia driver is installed, but the message says it can't install correctly. How do I bypass the MS driver?

    Nvidia Networking Adapter works in XP but not in Win 7

    I downloaded the Nvidia 15.01 drivers, did a manual install, and the drivers show up now under device manager, but now it's giving me the error code 31, saying that Windows can't install the driver for this device. If the driver is showing up, how is it that it's not installed? FRUSTRATING!

    No internet in Windows 7

    I just did a clean install of 7 and all is well, except now I can't connect to the internet from Windows 7. I'm getting an error code 10 "This device cannot start" from Device manager for my Nvidia Networking Adapter, even though it works fine and shows no error in XP. It shows the proper driver...

    Nvidia Networking Adapter works in XP but not in Win 7

    I recently installed Win 7 on a formatted partition of my HDD, and all went well except my Nvidia networking adapter won't work. In Device manager it's got the yellow exclamation with the error code "This device cannot start" code 10, despite the fact that it does show the correct driver...

    Can't find my Windows 7

    I recently installed Windows 7 on a formatted partion of one of my hard drives, and the next time I restarted, I had the option of booting into it or my original XP. I've since had to reinstall XP, and now I don't get the option to dual boot. I can still see it on the partition from XP, I just...

    Can't get 720p or 1080i on Olevia 242v

    I just got the Olevia 242v, hooked it up to Dish Network HD through an HDMI cable, but even when viewing an HD program, the display reads 480p @ 60Hz. This is the first HDTV I've owned, so I don't know if this is normal, or is there some way I can force it to display one of the higher resolutions?

    which one is good for music klipsch pm 2.1 or altec. mx5021

    I have had a set of Klipsch 4.1 for about 5 years now, and I've never heard any others that sound nearly as good as these do. I listen to a LOT of music, everything from Classical to Heavy metal, and it all sounds beautiful.

    Do I NEED a dual core processor?

    If you will read the initial post, you will notice that I'm upgrading because the computer is having random reboots which I have been unable to resolve, despite help I have received on this forum. Also, if you were to look at my signature, you would notice that my computer is hardly a new setup...

    Do I NEED a dual core processor?

    I am running my RAM at 2.7V currently. I even tried running it at 2.8V underclocked using Memtest86+ and still got the same errors.

    Do I NEED a dual core processor?

    I want to upgrade my video card so I can play some of the newer games. I have around $500 US to upgrade with. By the way, I have tested the sticks of RAM individually, and in all the slots on the MB running Memtest86+, and they all show errors in the same location consistently no matter...

    Do I NEED a dual core processor?

    I didn't think my crashes were due to having a single core processor, nor did I mean to infer that a dual core processor might solve the instability. I think that is just from a system that's a few years old and has been tinkered with much too often. I merely wanted to know the most practical...

    Do I NEED a dual core processor?

    Right now the best price I can find for the 3800+ X2 is $148, and I can get a 3500+ for $91. Would I be better off spending the extra $60 on a better video card?

    Do I NEED a dual core processor?

    One reason I'm upgrading is because I'm starting to get random re-boots while playing. I RMA'd my RAM to Corsair, but it's still doing it, even with only the video card plugged in. My PSU is brand new, so I don't think it's that. So, if I upgrade my MB, there is no use getting another Socket...

    Do I NEED a dual core processor?

    I'm looking to ugrade my old rig (see below) and am wondering, would I be dumb to not upgrade to a dual core processor, or if I would be fine with a single core processor. Since I graduated , I don't use my computer for anything but playing games or surfing. I've got young kids, so I'm on a...

    SLI for Conroe?

    I will be upgrading within the next couple of months, and was just wondering when nVidia will release their SLI chipset for Conroe. I thought it was supposed to come out at the beginning of August.

    Does Memtest86+ failure always mean bad RAM?

    Thanks for the replies.

    Does Memtest86+ failure always mean bad RAM?

    So, does anyone know if Memtest86+ could show a problem with the slots for the RAM, or will it only show problems with the RAM itself.

    NTLDR is Missing!!!

    If you are running a large hard drive (larger than 137 GB), if you can get into the BIOS, change the hard drive setting from Auto to Large. I get this problem if I reset my BIOS and forget to change the hard drive settings.

    Does Memtest86+ failure always mean bad RAM?

    By the way, I get the same amount of errors running @ 1T as 2T. The errors always occur at 710.5 and 726.5. I get about 6-8 errors in 15 cycles of Test 5.

    Does Memtest86+ failure always mean bad RAM?

    I've tried running 2.8V before with no change in results, so I dropped back to 2.7V. So, does anyone know if Memtest86+ can be indicative of bad slots and not necessarily bad memory?

    Does Memtest86+ failure always mean bad RAM?

    I've been having some stability problems with my system, and narrowed it down to the RAM I think, as running Memtest86+ showed several errors, but what I'm wondering is, does a failed test have to be the sticks of RAM (I'm using two sticks of 512 MB Corsair Value Select DDR 400), or can it be...

    OK guys, thanks for the input. I just took everything apart and put it back together (including the CPU) and now its doing great.

    Changed PSU, now no P.O.S.T.

    Yeah I did. According to the LED code, it's immediately going to and freezing at "Initializing Keyboard Controller", whether or not I have anything plugged in. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

    Changed PSU, now no P.O.S.T.

    I just switched out my old PSU with a new Antec Neo 550. I made no other changes to the system, just switched the cables, but when I tried to boot the system, I got no video signal and a series of repeated long beeps. My MB is an MSI K8N Neo Platinum with the D-bracket which shows (if you are...

    Why is Win XP detecting 2 video cards???
