Has anyone else received systems with damaged DMS-59 Ports? We ordered a few custom HP Compaq 8200 Elite systems (QX034US) that included the NVIDIA NVS 300 PCIe x16 video card (BV090AV). This video card has a single DMS-59 port but a large percentage of the systems we received had damaged...

Many uses have the same problem with Dells but there seems to be a solution: see that second-to-last post here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/dell-inspiron-dell-studio/219322-hdmi-audio-problems-inspiron-1525-a-2.html and the first post on the next page for the solution

You may have to press an alternate function key on your laptop's keyboard to force the signal to your monitor. many laptops have it like Fn + F6 or Ctrl + F6 or some variation like that. Usually there are three modes, 1. laptop monitor only, 2. external monitor only, 3. laptop + external monitor

the single 6-Pin connector is PCI-Express power used mainly for video cards. Your PSU should have a 4-Pin ATX12V P4 connector just like your old 300w gateway or it may have the newer 8-Pin version (EPS) of it which should be able to split into two separate connectors and provide you with the...

psu fans are usually soldered onto the PCB board inside the PSU. If you are comfortable doing that, don't care about warranty, and you want to risk being electrocuted (the capacitors still hold some charge even if psu is disconnected from wall), then you can try.

1. Those molex connectors are 4-pin so you can connect them to your motherboard's 3-Pin male plugs using cheap 4-3-Pin adapters w/ RPM sensor available anywhere. Motherboards usually keep fans spinning no matter what albeit at a lower RPM. 2. You can use y-splitters to connect multiple fans to...

Doesnt really matter but you should connect it to the closest fan plug on your mobo. If you ever go into the mobo BIOS, you will notice that fans are usually labelled somehow to help distinguish them. This helps you determine which fan the BIOS is talking about and whether it is functioning...

Since your mobo's light is on, your PSU must still be providing some kind of power. Do fans spin? Your motherboard may still be fried though you have a light. That's what is would try first. And check whether you really have a surge protector or is it just a multi-outlet splitter. You can also...

o1die is right, the EPS connector on your Corsair is just the P4 connector doubled. If you break it into two, and one fits into the P4 connector on the motherboard, then you are all good. The ppl who come up with these standards make sure you can't connect it wrong.

Yes the nVidia chipset on this motherboard is limited to a single Digital signal at a time. Only possible configurations for this board is: DVI-D + VGA or HDMI only If you want HDMI and DVI, you will have to add your own discrete (separate) video card like an ATi 5450 with DVI and HDMI

Quicksync currently only works with Cyberlink Media Espresso 6 and Arcsoft Media Converter 7 although i remember seeing a beta plugin from Intel for adobe photoshop and premiere

6990's need two 8-pin PCI-Express power connectors from PSU. it can be two 8-pin power cables or it can two of the 6+2pin power cables (which is found on many modern PSUs). Your silverstone PSU already has the needed connectors.

Yea dont worry it will work just fine since it is backwards compatible with SATA I and SATA II. You most likely won't see a performance loss either since your board does have SATA II. Based on reviews of SATA III, you would really have to have a super-fast (and super expensive) SSD to take good...
