    No Hard Disk Detected, Marvell - System Boot

    No it doesn't. It will only disable HDDs connected through IDE, typically used inside of your computer. The USB harddrives should still work.

    HD 5770 Driver problems

    I believe the Voltage for a typical household is 110V (120V) in the U.S., not sure about other countries in America.

    Annoying start up!!

    Which motherboard do you have, and have you tried non-usb keyboards? See if setting USB to legacy helps.

    No Hard Disk Detected, Marvell - System Boot

    You need to disable the Marvell controller in the BIOS. It is checking for a IDE HDD, which I assume it doesn't need to do, since you probably use SATA.

    Annoying start up!!

    I would try unplugging your HDD, and seeing if you can perhaps start up in a Linux live CD. I don't know how your BIOS is set up, but you may want to see if you can change the boot order to boot from CD first. Then you may be able to reinstall Windows. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try another...

    Computer wont turn on

    I had a similar problem on one of my older machines, it turned out the power supply I had was set to 100V instead of the 120V we get in the U.S. It too slowly died, in a similar fashion as described above, so I would suggest checking your power supply.

    Partial build, recommendations?

    I just noticed that the UD3 had x4 on that second slot and was contemplating getting the UD4 as well. I think I'll just go with the UD3 and save $50 towards getting a better single GPU solution anyway. It should allow for ~ $50 + $160 (a second 5700) so around $200. Would there be any problem...

    Partial build, recommendations?

    Thanks for the recommendations p55ibexpeak! :) I wanted to ask if anyone has experience with outputting to three monitors using the 5770. The Dell monitor has a display-port, so I assume it's as easy as plugging that in along with a 2nd monitor in DVI, and say a TV with HDMI? Can these be...

    ATI Eyefinity monitors

    If you're going to hook up 3 monitors, one of them needs a display port ( Like this one) Or are you going to use an active converter? Do you want all three to be the same monitor, and how much do you consider alot?
