Single Display split image

Thanks guys, well I'm pretty sure it's still under warranty, it was only purchased last summer. Hopefully they'll fix it (or replace it)... I recently had issues with my MSI 640GX gaming laptop, MSI isn't really making me so happy lately. They did fix the laptop, but I had to ship it back to...

Single Display split image

I have the most bizarre issue with my R6950 Twin Frozr III IGD5 Power Edition. I've formatted a few times and installed the drivers a few times and I still have this issue. I'm trying to work out if I have a dud or not. Every so often the screen splits so that a quarter of the right side of the...

PhysX question

aaaand, that's a bust, I can't find a reliable place to find the old Nvidia drivers that actually work with this hybrid patch. The last set of drivers that worked were 9.11.0621... oh well, it was a nice idea, right?

PhysX question

I hadn't had it happen up until this 6950, and I've owned a sea of ATI cards before this. I spent ages trying to get windows into some kind of safe mode so I could install the drivers back in. I haven't uninstalled the AMD drivers on this card since. I used to do it with my old 8800GTX as a...

PhysX question

ok, I have a further question, has anyone done this? It's not clear to me at what point I'm dropping the card in, is that before or after I've installed the nvidia drivers. Does dropping the card in before teh drivers screw anything up? if the card goes in after the drivers should teh patch also...

PhysX question

I honestly meant GTX275, I have no idea why I typed 670... I recall thinking when I bought the 6950 that I *wanted* a 670, but the price diff was too great... anyway, I think this answers my question... Yes, I can run a hybrid, but it looks like a right pain in the arse, get the right Nvidia...

PhysX question

***edited*** So I have an AMD 6950 as my primary GPU and I have Batman Arkham City and wanted to run PhysX. I have an old GTX275 (used to say GTX670, but that was incorrect) and was thinking of throwing it into my Asus Maximus Gene III so I could run PhysX... but will that even work? Can I run...

Monitor Trouble

Yes, I did try and run the monitor off a laptop on Analog, no it's not getting an out of spec notifyication, it doesn't even come up with the menu options that the monitor would normally advise on brightness, it simply goes black after about 1/2 a second, which is I believe the 'standby mode...

Monitor Trouble

Thanks very much for the suggestions so far. I did try rebooting with it connected and disconnected. I tried rebooting with it off an on when connected. all with no results. Sorry, I left out that the monitor responds this way regardless what PC is plugged in or whether it's a DVI or SVGA cable...

Monitor Trouble

Hi All, Just wondering if anyone has ever had a trouble with a monitor that comes on for about 1/2 a second and then the video shuts off. The Monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster 225BW 22-Inch LCD. I think the problem started with me moving plugging the monitor into my desktop after unplugging my pc...

Been out of the LOOP for 5 years.

I'm wondering what the benefit is to switching to a smaller case. I have an 1156 mobo so I could throw the thing in an mATX case, but the i5 processor spits up *a lot* of heat so I've got a nice fan in there... wouldn't throwing the thing in an mATX case cause heat issues? I'm a gamer and I...

cpu overheating

great comments, Just a further update for anyone with a similar issue though. 1. the instructions for the heat sink fan are really good and really bad, the tech writer deserves a rap on the knuckles. I considered taking it apart and putting up a youtube vid to show the installation as a couple...

cpu overheating

Thanks so much guys for the info... wow, just wow. I find it funny, I went out before I read the replies deciding that it must be true heat because I can see the heat dispate in the bios, especially if I blow some canned air on the stock heat sink... I say wow because I actually bought the fan...

cpu overheating

Hi all, just wondering, I recently purchased a new GPU and now my i5 is overheating. I'm thinking this new 6950 produces more heat than my old 275GTX. I intend to get a better fan than the stock intel fan that the CPU shipped with... but if it's overheating is it indicative of a cpu that's about...
