system is not OC'd and just running on stock heatsink/fan, under XP pro. i occasionally play crysis and cod4. i guess i can live with some pausing here and there since i don't game tooooo much but for watching 1080 content, it's slightly annoying to see pauses. through HD stuff on hulu, it'll...
i have a ~1yr old system that seems to be lagging a little when i'm running it on a recently purchased westinghouse 37" lvm37se, which i set to 1920x1080. normal web browsing is fine but it seems to stutter on 1080 video content, and playing games on it doesn't seem to be quite smooth at all...
so i just got this delivered yesterday from fedex and it looks quite good using a single link dvi from my pc. my 7900gt seems to be choking on it for playing games at 1920x1080 though, which is a shame. but the ps3 looks amazing on it.
the bad news is, i did find 1 dead pixel from what i...
i bit. awesome deal i couldn't resist...
so what's the best way to connect this monitor from an older evga 7900gt card? dvi to dvi or dvi to hdmi? does it matter if it's through a single link or dual link dvi cable?
can't wait to set this thing up!
it was a dead psu. replacement works fine and computer is up and running again. very disappointed that the original psu died in under 6 mths. i thought seasonics were reliable....but i guess there's always a dud once in a while.
anyways, thanks everyone!
can you elaborate? i'm just wondering what would cause the fan to spin for one second and then stop, other than faulty ps. are some ps designed to do that if there is no load?
so i did the paper clip thing to the green/black wires of the 24pin connector and plugged the p/s to wall jack only with no other connections .......lo and behold, fan starts for a second then stops immediately.
guess it really is a dead power supply. can't believe this seasonic died in 6...
taking it somewhere doesn't seem cost efficient, since i can probably buy a new mobo and power supply for the cost of people to just diagnose it for 2 hrs. i might see what i can do to borrow a P/S from a friend to test.
maybe i'm biased but i'm guessing the power supply is ok (it's a...
thanks for the replies.
i may try shorting the power supply directly to see if the fan kicks in. but if it does, does that mean the ps is likely to be ok?
i may try resetting the CMOS too and see if that would help it...
so after 6 mths of my new build working fine, i started to notice more occasional BSOD happening (i somewhat ignored them since i've been playing bf2142 and just attributed part of it to that).
last night, computer just shut down after about 10min of powerup. wasn't doing anything...
thanks mem for the suggestion. i looked at the IRQs from the BIOS and then within windows and found myself thoroughly perplexed but i just figured i'd move the soundcard to another PCI slot.....no USB mouse freezes as of yet (knock on wood!). so far so good!
i'm on winxp pro. bios defaults as usb mouse support disabled but i've tried both already to no avail. tried shadow and base memory settings as well.
i plugged the logitech mouse through the PS2 port and it seems to work without freezing but it doesn't seem to respond well to quick mouse...
northbridge fan is going fine. i tried plugging it into a hub and it freezes up much quicker than if plugged directly in the back. also, when it freezes, the optical on the mouse still stays on but nothing works.....no movement, no left right buttons, nothing. any ideas/suggestions?
thanks for the reply. i flashed the bios in dos to the april release but that didn't fix it. the mouse shoud be ok since it works fine on an older computer and i never had it do this before. confused as to what the problem actually is but it does seem to be computer specific.
