I updated the firmware. Nothing.
I've also replaced the data cable. Tried it in multiple SATA ports (both 3gb/s and 6gb/s). Set the SATA ports to IDE and ACHI, no difference. I'm about to give up and just order a new DVD burner. I know they're super cheap, but I dislike having to replace...
I had already installed Windows 7 on my old hardware a few days before I switched over to the new motherboard/cpu. My new mobo doesn't have any IDE ports, and one of my hdd's is IDE. So I wanted to install Win 7 on my SATA drive and transfer over my IDE drive stuff. This is why I installed Win 7...
Update: I tried booting to the dvd drive from bios (using clonezilla disc) and it failed to boot to it. It made this repeating spinning sort of sound, displayed black screen for about 20 seconds, then proceeded to boot Win 7 from the hard drive.
The drive worked fine on my old hardware, then...
I just upgraded my motherboard/cpu and am using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I was having some trouble booting up my SATA hard drive with Win 7 already installed, but I got it working after switching the SATA mode in bios from AHCI to IDE. Everything seems to be working except for my DVD...
I'm looking at upgrading to either a 4870 or a 4890. The performance differences between the cards is so slight that with my specs and resolution they will be irrelevant. What I'm interested in is the cooling differences.
This is the 4870 I'm looking at, HIS IceQ4+...
I bought a VisionTek 4850 a few months ago and have always had somewhat of an overheating problem. I set the fanspeed to 60% when idle and 75% when gaming. Even at 75% the card's temp when playing games like CoD4 and Fallout 3 is upper 70's low 80s. But during the past few days the card keeps...
How do I mix it back together? It seems like it would just smear everywhere.
I kept it lying horizontally on its size. Mine is in a little push tube, theres no bottle or way for me to keep it pointing down really.
I have an E6300 at stock and my core temps have been around 50C idle, although recently with the colder weather they've dropped closer to 40C. This still seemed a little bit hot, so I recently reapplied Arctic Silver. I used the same Artic Silver when I first applied it 2 years ago. I think I...
wow that worked. thank you so much, I was beginning to lose hope.
Is there really no other solution than this? It seems like there should be a fix or a general permanent solution for it. And any idea on what causes this problem?
When I got the 4850 I uninstalled the drivers first, installed the card, then installed the 8.7 drivers. The game has been running fine for a month. I haven't really changed any settings, and now suddenly I'm having this fps problem. I've searched around and haven't been able to find any...
I've heard of other people having this problem since the game came out, but I've never seen any way to resolve it. It just seems to be an ignored issue.
