    NUC Skull Canyon + AkiTio + XFX RX480 = BSOD

    I got an AkiTio Node and an XFX RX480; trying to hook it up to a NUC Skull Canyon. Whenever I try to install the display drivers, I get a BSOD on my Win10pro ver 1607. The error message reads 'stop code: THREAD STUCK IN DEVICE DRIVER'. I first went with the traditional install from the AMD...

    [solved] Iris Pro 580 [NUC6i7KYK] Skull Canyon Can't be Benchmarked

    Tried running 3DMarks basics, but it says there are no benchmarks that my system can run. It claims I need a DX12 capable card. I ran DXdiag and saw that my card was listed as basic Microsoft display device, so I looked at device manager. The card was listed as an Iris Pro 580. The DM icon had...

    Trying to get some NETSH Hostednetwork + ICS action going

    On a windows 7 HP2760p, I'm trying to share my school dorm connection with an Android ICS tablet. It's worked in the past, so I'm not sure why it's not working now. I disabled ICS with the LAN adapter, so I could enable it with the Wi-Fi, but that didn't work. I got an error message that...

    Accidentally reinstalled XP pro SP3

    I have a system with multiple Win XP installations on different partitions (One on a C drive, and one on an E drive). Until recently whenever I would turn the computer on, it would reach an OS selection screen, where I could choose which of the two XP installs I wanted to boot. I don't...

    google toolbar

    Is there no way of removing - uninstalling the google toolbar from my computer? It's not listed on the add/remove software. I've clicked on the "google ->help -> uninstall" and it tells me that it will be removed on the next Firefox startup, but then when I start firefox... There it is! I've...

    3700+ San Diego

    Hi I'm new to computers. I don't know a whole lot about PCs, Hardware, or this overclocking thing you speak of -but it sounds exciting. I've read a thing or two here and there about OC'ing, but I now know, I know NOTHING! (as I destroyed the AGP bus on my NF7S v2.0 -and I have no idea how, or...

    ADA3700CFBOX vs ADA3700BNBOX

    Are this and this CPU not one and the same? Why is there a price difference -in the same store? They both say retail, and as far as I can tell, besides the part number, they're idnetical. Is there a difference?

    ZoneAlarm

    I used to have my laptop hooked up to a ethernet switch which was in turn hooked up to my desktop's secondary NIC. I used that to share my internet connection, which was connected to my cable modem. I installed ZoneAlarm recently. In the Firewall menu, under the Zones tab, I have 3...

    Windows won't go beyond starting logo then reboots

    My machine will infinitely loop, without booting into windows. It goes through the POST then it goes into selecting windows mode (SAFE, Normal, Last known... etc etc). But it doesn't matter what I try, if I select "normal" then the windows logo will appear, then my machine will reboot. If I...

    9800pro enough to play Neverwinter Nights @ 1280x1024?

    Sometimes when playing NWN I get CTD or the machine simply reboots. I've run sysoft sandra's burn test to see if my computer crashes, but it doesn't. It doesn't crash at any other given time. It will sit there and run for days. But once I play NWN it either crashes to the desktop, or it...

    Need a complete system

    Hi, I need to ask you for a favor. I?m trying to get a complete system (PC). It?s needed sooner than I could build one ordering the parts from different vendors. So I was wondering if there is a store online where I can buy a complete rig; a decent rig. I was hoping to avoid Gateway or Dell...

    LG Flatron

    given the comparison between L1710SK & L1780U I can't see why the L1780 nearly doubles the L1710SK. I mean, I get the whole 12ms as opposed to 16ms; but that's only 4ms difference. Is it really worth the $200 dollars extra, even though the contrast ratio is lower too? (550:1 vs 500:1)...

    Alienware notebook

    I have tried uninstalling the drivers, and then letting windows reinstall them, and nothing. Nothing is showing up wrong anywhere, there just isn't any sound. I've played with the volume using the "Fn" key and volume in/decrease buttons; and I've played with the volume through control panel...

    NVIDIA SLI

    Is NVIDIA SLI the only way to have two PCI-e video cards? Why only nVidia MoBos, and only with nVidia Video cards? I thought PCI-e was a universal slot/port, available even for Mac. So how come using 2 PCI-e slots to double up on the GPU performance is an nVidia thing, only? Not even...

    I have 2 monitors one is a generic behemoth of a monitor 21? and the other is a 19inch Sony HMD-A400. The Sony is the one that shuts down. (We?re talking single display mode) I boot up the machine, and go about my business for a short amount of time, and then the monitor shuts off (kind of...

    Nvidia IDE SW Driver

    So I've performed a search here and at nforceHQ forums, and have read threads upon threads, and I'm still unsure as to whether or not I should install the nVidia IDE drivers, or use the default MS ones. My system's performance was starting to waver, I was having trouble burning some files...

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled one million times, the sound once worked, when I had only installed the ABIT NF7-S drivers from the ABIT stie. I went to nVidia and got their latest drivers and it's not working anymore. In an effort to get my sound back I tried Nasty File Remover (NFR) to...

    HT17E3 (LCD Panel)

    Does anyone know anything about it? I wanted to look into getting an LCD that could replace my SONY HMDA400. And I noticed that one of the best LCDs I've read about, Hercules Prophetview, uses Hydis' panel (But even it is not adequate; no current LCD is). I then looked into Hydis, and as far...

    Detonator woes...

    I have a ti 4600. The day before yesterday I installed Detonator 52.16 on my computer. When I tried to play Quake 3 Arena my machine kept locking up (anytime I joined a server with PB enabled). Turns out the latest PB and detonator 5x.xx aer incompatible. So in an effort to change my drivers I...

    How To tell Release date?

    Does anyone know how to find out when was a product released? Like say for instance a Sony Vaio PCG-FRV31 notebook, how would I find out when that model was first created? Or any other hardware for that matter; as well as the actual manufacturing date. Or is this something not possible to...

    Sometimes, while i am playing Quake 3 Arena online, I hear a delay in sound. I will be playing along just fine, and everything will be working dandy and then all of the sudden my sound will start trailing the events taking place. Like, I will fire and there will be an explosion, but I wont hear...

    Plz Help me get a good MoBo

    I have a request... I'm contemplating getting an nforce2 ultra 400 MoBo, as I have fried my Aopen. The one criteria that I really look for is a MoBo that has the mounting holes, because I have the Zalman 7000cu Heatsink & fan. I guess along that same line of thought, I need a MoBo that gives...

    CPU bottleneck Video Card

    Hi, I have a question regarding CPUs and their effects on video cards. I would like for someone to help me understand how does a CPU bottleneck a video card. And more to the point, at what speeds does a certain CPU become the bottleneck for any given card. For example, say someone has a Radeon...

    First time overclock

    I have an athlon XP 2400+. I THINK I have unlocked the processor (by using conductive grease on the L3 bridge #5). My motherboard is an Abit AT7 MAX2. When I try to alter the settings with the multipliers, I can't even get 200FSB with 10x multiplier. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong...

    would a Zalman CNPS7000A fit?

    I have the Kingwin KT-436 case. Does anyone know if the Zalman CNPS7000A will fit there? I have an Abit AT7-MAX2 motherboard; on the Zalman site, it says it will fit on the motherboard, if I cut the clip off, but I have a feeling that the fins would run into the power supply. I grabbed a CD and...
