I am having almost similar issues with my HD4850. I am getting black screens or vertical bars at a number of games, especially on DMC4 DX10. I also changed my PSU in thinking it was the issue, but problem remains. For one week, I was not getting the error at all, after flashing the card's...

Although it could be overheating, I had very similar problems and the problem was a bad RAM stick. Windows 64 wouldn't install, Windows 32 succeeded installing after 30+ tries. Therefor I suggest you remove the other stick of Memory as well and see if it helps. Usually only one stick of RAM...

I have "discovered" something very annoying and worrying about my computer: Sometimes a strange clicking noise comes from inside the case, sounding like as if the HDD is broken. Strange thing is, it isn't the HDD, as I take it outside (still connected) and the sound is still coming from the...

The problem is the game... The game searches explicitely for OpenGL 1.3 support, but your card says 2.0. Over at GameCopyWorld there is a patch especially for NVIDIA cards that overcomes the game's limitation, if you can't get the official patches to work.

I noticed you are using the AGP version from Leadtek as I am... Have you perhaps forgotten to connect the extra power cable to the card? (The PCIe 7600GT doen't have it and the difference is not documented in the generic instructions coming with the card) Btw... I am using a Zalman 300Watt...

S3 Graphics has indeed had a long and troubled history, but they did manage to survive one way or the other :? It is really very ironic that the company died after moving into "new" markets, while the graphics part, which was howt S3 was all about survived and kept the name. I think it has to...

I have the same graphics card as you do and I also have a 300W PSU from Zalman. I don't get any artifacts, but I am sure the temperature gets upto 70°C when playing. (But I check it with Rivatuner's ingame OSD, because as soon as I exit the game it falls to around 50°C and then 46.

Well, I did add two fans in my case last week, but it has hardly changed the readings. I have a Chieftec Dragon Tower, which is quite big and has numerous openings for fabs on the rear. So even without the extra fans, it never felt hotter inside the case than the room temperature. If I...

I was recently interested to see the Temperature levels of my old, but still very capable, Northwood 2.8GHz and I was surprised to see the low average Temperature... I mean, hearing the critisism against intel about the Pentium 4 these last two years, i was left with the impression these chips...

Personally I am not excited at all... You see we have had a lot of mergers in the graphics industry with many promises about revolutionary features, but not one of them succeded. 1. Rendition+Micron... How many of us remember the advantages advertised of having a foundry in house and then...

No you cannot as the SPDIF can only carry a PCM signal, that is only stereo. Still you can use the analog outputs, which are supposed to be better than the ones found on your speakers. (Look at those 100+ dB numbers Creative is speaking about.) (Edit: I mean the DACs found on the X-Fi and...

Although I have never turned off HT in my PC, I have read somewhere, could be Tomshardware, that there was a small performance penalty for having HT turned on Northwood systems. In contrary, Prescott systems gained a bit. But all of these is relative to the application you will be using and...

I suspect you are using a Sound Blaster card... The solution is as follows: -Run "regedit" from the RUN prompt -Find the entry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareWow6432Node" -Delete the entry completely! (For some just changing the name by adding an "a" works, but for me only deleting it does the...

Supposed it is the motherboard, what motherboard do I buy? Do I get a new i865PE based, propably a P4P800 series again, or should I go for a VIA PT880? I find the presence of both AGP and PCIe appealing, as I was thinking of upgrading the graphics card later when Vista ships. PS: I've also...

Hellow, guys... I have a question.... I recently run into problems with my setup, a good old Pentium 4 Northwood 2.8GHz with 1GB RAM and an ASUS P4P800 board. Form the looks of it, it can be the motherboards problem as the system doesn't even POST. I am in the process of determing the cause...
