Thanks amdhunter for the reply :). I've downclocked the gpu core by about 25 mhz and everything seems to be stable so far in WoW. No crashes either. But I also uninstalled the Nvidia firewall that came with my mobo software package. That's been screwing with a lot of things too. Beforehand I...
Hey everyone, I've been having some weird graphics glitches and some strange crashes with programs(World of Warcraft especially)
Here's my setup:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+
Asus A8N-E Mobo
500W Seasonic S12 PSU
2GB OCZ memory
ATI X1900XT video card
SB Audigy ZS2
This problem first...
Sounds like artifacting to me. Dust that gets caught up in the video card can be a cause of that since it adds to the heat buildup. But if everything's been cleaned off and the same thing happens in another computer, it may be a failing video card(my opinion, just a guess). If you can, test the...
I'm very tempted to get one of the open box models for the 20wmgx2. I never did like dealing with rebates...I just hope it doesn't die on me or something =/. I'm a bit hesitant too since I've heard some things about the screen being difficult to see in fairly well lit environments. I hate second...
I know some games don't support Quadro cards so you might get some weird graphical glitches with them. Either that or they'll just plain crash whenever you start it. It's happened before when a friend of mine played Splinter Cell on her machine. However some games are fine so...your mileage may...
Sorry, I should have posted that earlier!
Specs:
Seasonic S12 500W PSU
A8N-E mobo
AMD X2 3800+ with Zalman 3rd party cooler
ATI Radeon X1900XT 512mb
OCZ 2gb sdram
Ok, I'm trying to figure out which part of my computer has crapped out. My video card had a warning light that said something was wrong with the power coming into the card. This led me to think that my PSU was somehow broken. But, power is still being supplied to the computer. Everything lights...
Ahh...I should have posted this in the initial post. Sorry!
I have tried re-seating the video card, I've plugged and re-plugged the power cable but it hasn't worked so far. I'm starting to think that it may be the power supply. It would explain the power led that's lighting up.
So I shipped my desktop down to my college dorm and when I booted it up for the first time, nothing was showing on the screen. And my monitor was still in sleep mode. I cracked open my case and I noticed that my video card's fan would not wind down. It was blowing at 100%.
Then I noticed two...
Ok, so I just shipped my desktop to my dorm room and something may have been damaged in transit. I tried booting it up for the first time and nothing was showing on screen. The monitor was still on standby mode. I checked the video card and the fan was running at full speed(without winding down)...
I've used Ontrack before. I had a hard drive that was physically damaged from a head crash and they were able to pull some stuff off. Not everything though. It was just too badly damaged. But yeah, like everyone else has said. This can cost you upwards of $1600 or more if it's physically damaged.
I have a seagate hard drive and normally it's really quiet, but now whenever it's reading or writing something to it, it's making very loud(relatively) clicking/reading sounds. It's usually very rapid and goes on for "bursts". I'm backing things up either way, but this seems very strange...
The computer will be used mainly for Maya and Photoshop. I know those both support multi threading...question is, how many of those cores will actually be used.
Thanks for the suggestions! I think I've settled on not getting dual xeons and opting for a quad core :)
I'm trying to help a friend put a workstation together and I'm wondering, besides the price, is there any advantage in having a quad core over 2 dual cores or vice versa? I've been trying to decide whether or not 2 dual core 5140 xeons or 2 e6600's are somehow better at batch rendering than a...
Hmm...I may have to rethink my choice then. I'm used to working on Dell 3007WFP monitors in school which use an S-IPS panel. They're fantastic and I think I would be fairly disappointed if I got anything significantly worse. But, still...money is a factor so I may have to go TN or something...
