    Centre speaker wont output any sound............

    Sorry, am running Windows Xp Pro, and have made the necessary adjustments to allow use of the mic and line-in sockets as speaker output............

    Centre speaker wont output any sound............

    Hey all, Just bought myself some 5.1 speakers, and had them working fine last night on my PC, then I decided to cart them into the lounge to watch a DVD. After trying to reconnect them up to the PC in the same method, I cannot get any sound from the centre speaker. I have a Leadtek WinFast...

    Hey all, trying to get my on-board

    Oh, I agree that it is a top quality board for the price (picked mine up for £50), packed with features and OC'ing tweaks, and according to benchmarks, one of the fastest socket A boards you can buy.

    Hey all, trying to get my on-board

    But if there's corruption at the POST screen, that eliminates all possibility of it being drivers or OS doesn't it? so it has to be hardware yeah?

    Hey all, trying to get my on-board

    Thanks for your thoughts, both are fully up 2 date.

    Hey all, trying to get my on-board

    Ah well, after a couple more hours fiddling I gave up and reinstalled my AGP card. Corruption was what I saw, and a fair bit of it, even at POST there were little white lines where there shouldn't have been, which to me says it's definitely a h/ware fault. I'd appreciate your thoughts folks...

    Hey all, trying to get my on-board

    ...mentioned the IRPStackSize error, but they're still BSODs in exactly the same places. The two error messages that stand out in Event Viewer are: *********************************************************** Event Type: Error Event Source: Service Control Manager Event Category: None Event ID...

    Hey good people! I've had this

    My RAM is 512 PC2700, and my swapper is system managed, so always a good size. The drive is alone on it's own IDE channel as I've heard other drives can cause problems. I can't find a model number/name for this damn drive, not on the box, not on the manual, not on their site............

    Hey good people! I've had this

    The model is a Freecom CD-RW (40x12x40x), they don't appear to have model numbers or names...........

    Hey good people! I've had this

    Yes, sorry, more info is gooooood. The CDRW is about a year old, it has 2 Mb on-board cache, and I use Win Xp Pro. Not sure what you mean by cache settings??? What's a firmware update and where can I find one?

    Hey good people! I've had this

    Soz, should have put a subject in...........

    Hey good people! I've had this

    Hey good people! I've had this burner for about a year, and it's been average. But now, everytime I try to burn an image from my HDD I will ALWAYS have errors on it. Audio CDs burn fine, but they're not quite as fussy as data are they? I know the game images I'm using are good as they...

    Disk write caching options greyed out in Xp

    Nice, thanks for the advice :-)

    Disk write caching options greyed out in Xp

    Hello all, I've only just noticed after recieving a warning message from Bootvis, that my disk write caching is disabled. Ok I thought, and went into my HDDs properties, then into Policies, only to find that the whole field is greyed out, although the "Optimize for performance" option...

    ATA on Nforce2 slooowwww

    Do you know what? I have no idea why the format worked either, but it did, so I aint complaining! SYAR2003, yup, I have the 3.13 drivers installed with SW-IDE, and yeah, they work like a charm! I agree with cdogg, using Nero as a benchmark is not the right way to go about things. If you look...

    ATA on Nforce2 slooowwww

    The problem with mine Doc, was that it was a brand new drive, and I made the mistake of only quick formatting it straight out of the box, rather than the tiresome full format. Once I'd given it the full format, it was back up to speed. So unless you only performed a quick format like I did, I...

    ATA on Nforce2 slooowwww

    One more update, lol. It appears the drivers were not the problem after all, my results on PCPitstop turned out to be a fluke and I was no better off than before, like my drive wouldn't come out of PIO mode............ I formatted my HDD and started again this morning, this time doing a FULL...

    ATA on Nforce2 slooowwww

    Thanks a lot for your help guys, I hear what you're saying about defrag, and I run it twice a day. Yeah, partition size occurred to me too, as Xp is just bouncing around in 70 gig of space, but I solved the problem anyways. I downloaded a set of generic drivers from Leadtek's website, isolated...

    ATA on Nforce2 slooowwww

    I knew you'd bring the RAM issue up, lol. 256 was damn fine before I upgraded my machine, and it still doesn't alter the fact that my drive is going the same speed as a ATA/33 drive. I appreciate your help, you've been great, I think we'll just have to admit defeat on this day. I've really had...
