    Display not being detected in new build

    I just tried using this card in another motherboard, didn't work. Then I tried it in a whole different computer with a whole different monitor, didn't work. Switched from DVI to straight HDMI / no adaptors, didn't work. Could it really be possible that I got 2 defective video cards in a row? o_o

    Display not being detected in new build

    I'll give that a try. The conclusion here would be that the problem lies either with the motherboard or the monitor, correct? The card that works is actually an nVidia card, the new one is ATI. Though, it may be a clue to some broken functionality that's causing it to not detect the new...

    Display not being detected in new build

    I'm having a very frustrating and confusing problem. I just put together a new machine (specs outlined below) and the video card seems to refuse to detect the display for some reason. At first, I thought it might be a faulty video card, so I RMA'd and got a replacement because I exhausted my...

    Games crash every single time

    I disabled and uninstalled sound drivers... problem still occurred. Checked the Event Viewer and no errors related to the game I was running, even though it crashed. Ran chkdsk on all drives, defragged, updated chipset and video card drivers, checked rail voltages -- and the problem persists...

    Games crash every single time

    Thanks for the input, guys. All of my temperatures are within normal range, and my case is well-ventilated. The interior ambient temperature usually floats around 75 F. I will definitely try disabling my sound card, I didn't think of that. It's quite a possibility since last night, the sound...

    Games crash every single time

    This problem is driving me insane. Every single (modern 3D) game that I play crashes to the desktop at a random time. Sometimes I'll get an hour or two of play, but most of the time it's right in the middle of the action no matter what. First, the screen will freeze and the audio will continue...

    Miner Wars! (and closed beta)

    I'm interested in seeing the upgrades you can do to the ships and stuff. It would also be kinda neat to be able to construct stuff on meteors that you have to defend.

    Miner Wars! (and closed beta)

    Anybody else been following this game? It will be a free mixture between single-player story and MMO, but plays like Descent, a classic. The environments are fully destructible... I don't know why, but that always sells me. They're kind of crowd-sourcing the development too, which is neat. You...

    VinylxScratches, I fscking love you. That led me on the right path and I found a teeny error in my global.asa file. I owe you a handjob or something. Thanks man.

    ASP help!

    I'm actually working on the file as we speak... the web host updated a setting server-side to enable global.asa on temp URLs. The error I'm getting now is: Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005' Not a valid file name. /nostalgia/Default.asp, line 52 Line 52 is the...

    Here is the code that my default.asp uses to connect to the global.asa file: Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") Conn.ConnectionTimeout = 15 Conn.CommandTimeout = 30 Conn.Open Application("connection") And here is what it references within the global.asa file...

    ASP help!

    I actually don't have access to IE on this computer. Here is the temporary URL, while default.asp is the home page. site144.mysite4now.com/nostalgia As you can see, this link that doesn't reference global.asa works just fine - site144.mysite4now.com/nostalgia/home.asp

    Yes, it does support ASP classic. The host is www.webhost4life.com , who I've had success in the past with, using Classic ASP.

    ASP help!

    Keep in mind that I'm a designer, not a programmer :roll: The site is created in ASP Classic and references a global.asa file, which connects to an Access database (I know, I know). The only thing that seems to work is the .asp file that doesn't reference the global.asa file! I have gone...

    Building new Video/Design/Gaming Rig.

    Blain - thanks very much for the extended graphics card info. I didn't even think to check if specific cards were or weren't supported by certain programs! Hopefully they'll add the NVidia Geforce 9800GTX to that list soon -- that's what I was hoping to get. DSF - Yeah, I'm not really trying...

    Building new Video/Design/Gaming Rig.

    I work as a graphic designer, so obviously I frequently use the whole Adobe CS3 suite. I've also been doing some motion graphics and video work lately, as well as getting into video game art asset development. That means modeling in 3DS Max too. Call me ADD, but I like to say that I'm just an...

    Can two more or people use the same mouthwash?

    I wonder if it depends on the ratio of saliva & bacteria to alcohol? Like...if alcohol dissipates in a certain amount? I'd say it's not safe!

    You'd better hit that. But keep in mind...the hotter they are, the more insane they are. She's probably crazy as hell, so take what you want while you can! Haha

    Looking for new LCD

    I bought my VX2025wm about a month and a half ago and I love it. I use it for gaming, photo editing, graphic design and video editing. Totally recommended. Just a note though: ViewSonic's customer support is ******.

    GHOST RECON AW DEMO IS OUT!

    I played the demo this morning for about 10 minutes. I didn't notice any framerate loss at max settings, 1680x1050. Also - what is the command to display FPS? I'd like to mess with it a bit more when I get home! From what I played it was awesome :) And damn. Chill out, Dkcode -- no reason to...

    Which to buy: Benq FP202W or Viewsonic VX2025WM?

    I just got the ViewSonic VX2025wm, and I love it. Though the design of the LCD could be prettier, the display is awesome and bright. Definitely recommended! :)

    2007WFP gradient banding

    I know that I shouldn't even bother replying to this. But, I don't know about you, but ~ $500 is a lot of money for me and I think I have a right to expect quality. Especially beyond the quality of displays that are considerably cheaper. Also, I'm a graphic designer. A display is one of the...

    Choosing a 20" LCD for gaming

    Well yeah, the NEC would be nice. But then again, it's $800. That's quite a bit to pay, eh.

    Choosing a 20" LCD for gaming

    I just got my Viewsonic VX2025mw yesterday. Despite it being shipped with a damaged base and a super ugly, cheap-looking design, it's a really nice and great performing monitor. I returned my Dell 2007WFP and got this, which I'm happy with. Well, I will be after I exchange it :)

    2007WFP gradient banding

    I'm sending my 2007WFP back today - I got a ViewSonic vx2025wm intead. Not as pretty on the outside, but (hopefully) performs much better.

    Yum Yum, pics of my 8 pound prime rib roast, aged 9 weeks

    MM-MMM, a giant slab of an animal's torso! Maybe there's something wrong with me, but I think that looks really unappetizing.

    My dogs killed my neighbor's cat

    Crackheads gotta scheme money somehow. Though I feel bad for the cat, it's ridiculous and wrong to earn money off breeding (even if they didn't, haha). I think you're alright.

    2007WFP gradient banding

    You know, I feel a bit foolish now. I was talking earlier about how happy I was with this monitor, and now I've started working on a few web design projects I had started on my CRT. I guess my eyes are finally getting adjusted to using it...and yes, there is very noticeable color banding. I...

    2007WFP Subjective Review

    I mentioned a week ago or so that I would put up pictures of the 2007FPW when mine came in and whether or not I was going to stick with it. Yeah, I decided to stick with it - I love this display! Anyway, here are a few photos of it set up and everything. If anybody wants more images, just let me...

    2007WFP gradient banding

    xtknight - Unfortunately, scaling a gradient in an image will actually create banding in the image itself, so that is not really a great example. Also, I've decided to keep the 2007WFP. Very, very slight banding on large gradient images is not enough to push me away from this LCD. I've also...

    2007WFP gradient banding

    Mine is actually scheduled to be delivered to me today. I'll let you know as soon as I find out -- if there is banding, I will definitely send it back. It's important to me because I'm a graphic designer, so I understand how you feel.

    Blu ray disc reader/writer by sony

    I personally just started recently writing DVDs - I don't know if I'm really into the idea of a new, undoubtedly super-expensive media (at least yet). Thanks for the post though, interesting find! :)
