    Overclocking failures and consequences

    @zagood yes thanks. I am just wondering why now? My sysytem is clocked @ 3.04ghz for the past 18mos, and now it has temp issues? Fan is working. Idle is 53C (before around 33-35C). I will check Heatsink and thermal paste and update this thread. Thanks for the help! Oh btw, havent bought 3rd...

    Overclocking failures and consequences

    @rick oh, I will look into that. 83C is too high right? @zagood yes, stock heatsink fan. I will consider that. I use SPD settings only. Tried upping CPU voltage from 1.35 to 1.36 and 1.37, but still get same random shut downs.

    Overclocking failures and consequences

    updates. i think i found the culprit. My CPU's temp @ 340mhz is 83C. But i wonder, will high temp shut my pc down randomly? Is there a feature in bios that does that?

    Catalyst 7.6 Vista 64 drivers

    No need to reinstall vista now... i reverted back to catalyst 7.4 and everything is well now... back to vibrant colors and my fps games were improved. Although some of my games dropped 5-10fps... you really cant win em all.

    Catalyst 7.6 Vista 64 drivers

    @stumps not yet.. i only did clean registry of all drivers and reinstalling them to no avail. That was my last resort before i confirmed that it was driver related. btw, what driver cleaner should i use? the 0.40 or the driver cleaner pro (older version... dunno if support vista)?

    Low FPS in q4

    are you using vista? I have the same problem... poor performance of my x1950pro in 3d games. After researching, i realized it was because of poor catalyst 7.6 on vista 64

    Which x1950pro AGP card to buy?

    UPDATE: it seemed like my two major problems: 1. washed out colors 2. low performance in 3d games IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT 7.6 catalyst is very poor in Vista 64 ultimate. I read lots of same issues in guru3d forums. Any of you guys have the same problem?

    tried unstalling all softwares and drivers (ati tray tools and catalyst 7.6 and catalyst control center, LG226wtq driver and color profile) and i started fresh with adobe gamma. Calibrated and got satisfying results. Unfortunately, results were only good for desktop. My applications were so...

    @xtknight tnx for the advices. Btw, i remembered few posts back i asked for the FIXED aspect ratio for non-native resolutions and you told me nvidia drivers has it. Now i am using catalysts 7.6 and it doesnt work (although there is an option on the control center of catalyst). I read in...

    @guys i need desperate help. I think i must've done something bad when i played with my ATI TOOL TRAY... I tried fixing the gamma (all 3 colors) with this http://links.twibright.com/calibration.html I was able to hit the right brightness for all 3, but the result was horrible. My pictures...

    Hi guys, just upgraded my system. I had my 226wtq calibrated so well when i was in XP Pro, now its all pale and un-vibrant. Before with XP, i had 6800GS and under nvidia control panel, i used their COLOR TEST AND CALIBRATION to set it to what i had... now, i have x1950pro and, unfortunately, ati...

    x1950pro 256mb/bit PCIe = CRAPPY

    @keysplayr2003 but i didnt do anything. I always made it a point to return all to default settings (for ATI Control Center and ATI Tray Tools). But my screen just looks pale... not as good as with XP pro before. ARE there any calibration tools like that of nvidia's control panel?

    I have 3 problems with my GeCube x1950pro 256mb/bit PCIe. 1. It doesnt scale right with non-native resolutions (4:3 ratios like 1024x768 etc) on my LG 226wtq 22". I already selected "CENTERED aspect ratio" on the control center but to no avail. 2. This is my biggest problem. Performance is...

    I was really excited to get x1950pro... but after i got it (Gecube x1950pro 256mb - only thing available in a 10mile radius!!!) yesterday, was very frustrated with the results. Performance is not what i expected. I am playing CS:S @ 1680x1050 0xAA 0xAF all high with only 35-60fps (not looking at...

    @starbucks I am from philippines, there are only few importers here. With my two LPL panel options, doesnt seem much of a difference. Do you need to turn the monitor on and off for that to take effect? Even the CMO option dont change much, if not at all. Oh btw, i tried your...

    @bernardP for monitor use... vertical viewing angle isnt much of a concern since most often than not, you will be looking dead center anyways, for me at least.
