Windows fully loaded, no Video?. Not so fast!.

This is how it went: One of our draftsmen informed some flickering video issue which I tried to replicate unsuccessfully. This is a WIN7 64, Gigabyte H77M D3H MoBo. On one of the restarts, all looked just fine, windows logon sound included but no video. Everything was double checked all good...

I truly believe this is not worth the aggravation you are enduring. I'm just trying to help. You are welcome to read other posts and troll somewhere else while I learn English. Thanks for your time and patience.

Windows fully loaded, no Video?. Not so fast!.

I've been looking into this issue and found out that in most forums, the manufacturers' reps guide users through the same checklist: i.e: strip MoBo, flash bios, check cables, etc.. no mention about Monitor. And the symptoms seem to be the same. After a couple of posts, RMA is advised. This is...

What happens is nothing. No video on BIOS/bootup, none at all. The monitor presents a reaction to signal and on the screen you can see it getting from hybernation to stby mode but no image. It makes you think it's ok but it is definetly not. Now, the A2 code on the ASUS ROG panels is derived...

Last weekend I had this issue which seems to be a bit common and had no resolution afaik: All things are good, you checked wiring, slots, memory, cpu, etc.. everything is as should but there's no video. Asus guys had RMA'd a bunch of ROG MoBos for A2 code (IDE detect) hanging derived from no...

IVY E uses solder tim as expected, see delidded (and killed) 4960X with solder tim

Sorry, got it wrong.. for some reason I confused the OP reference with the Haswell line and started looking way ahead. Here is where I got confused: "For those who have LGA 2011 motherboards already, however, there comes some bad news: the same unnamed source claims that the new Haswell E...

IVY E uses solder tim as expected, see delidded (and killed) 4960X with solder tim

Ok, it's a Haswell with 3kg of welding material, squared shape with odd PCB layout, 4 notches instead of two, a lid that doesn't match LGA 1150 bracket, no retaining lips, no probe contacts on PCB perimeter, etc. hmm Probably not. It's just pictures. " ...You must be an AMD'er since you...

Sorry but I don't buy it.. Please have a look at this. It's the evolution of recent chip dies. I think I've never linked something on this forum and hope it works: http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/news2/Intel-2013-Haswell-Processor-Reportedly-Pictured-3.png Those images used for...

i5 or i7 for my needs

Yes, Haswell Xeons are pricey atm.. $265 for the 3.3GHz one As comparison: Xeon E3-1220 V2 3.1GHz Base, HT, 8MB Cache $205 Xeon E3-1230 V2 3.3GHz Base, HT, 8MB Cache $235 Ivy Bridge i7-3770 3.4GHz Base, HT, 8MB Cache $280 Ivy Bridge i5-3570 3.4GHz...

i5 or i7 for my needs

I agree.. Of course we have put lots of time building our systems, we're proud of them and wish to share our experiences with people who need guidance with perhaps biased advise but never the wrong advise. All these ideas are either theoretical or proven on each individual's taste and needs...

If I had this 'client' at the counter, I'd take a closer look: 1. No mention about Overclocking. -check- 2. Multitasking, some Hyper-threading may be required. -check- 3. Likes to try latest generation gaming but doesn't require a 'gaming rig' per se. -check- As a basic consideration, the...

Intel 2013-2014 roadmap

I don't understand why some people force themselves to unsee the obvious. IMO the Haswell line is clearly not for enthusiasts and not worth to upgrade from Ivy or Sandy Bridge. Of course, purists would argue that you can squeeze more from Haswells but they also will agree that Intel wasn't...

Are you buying Haswell?

Other than the new color scheme on 1150 MoBo's from Asus, I couldn't care less. If Intel thought about the market segment I belong to, they would be selling Integrated Graphics-free Haswells today. If MoBo manufacturers other than MSI -that I know of- have had a bios out supporting Xeons...
