Ripper3, Thank you for the quick reply. SpeedFan reported the following after an online analysis of S.M.A.R.T. results: NOTE : your hard disk has 1 pending sectors. Those are sectors that couldn't be properly read and that the hard disk logic is waiting for a write operation to try to...

Hello everyone, I hope someone can help with advice for this strange problem I'm experiencing right now. I have a desktop system with 4 hard drives inside (you can never have too much storage). Everything has been working flawlessly for a long time, until recently: one of my hard drives...

My VF-900 is incredible. I was getting 68-70C idling on stock cooling and fan set on Auto with my X1800XL. After about a week of testing, I monitored temps and am now getting 42-44C idling!!! I find it extremely quiet, even with the fan set to full speed. I couldn't be happier with this purchase.

hello all, i'm relatively new to the forums. i just downloaded ATItool 0.26 and i'm running with catalyst 6.11 for some reason, when i run the scan for artifacts function, i get 3-5 pixels at 74ºC in a matter of 30 secs. however my games run perfectly without the slightest signs of...

well, there doesn't seem to be any kind of better solution. thanks. i'm gonna try that

i did lower the AGP speed and it didn't do anything. i'll look for the omega drivers. thank you. i'll post the outcome of this experiment soon

no... none of the driver updates (hyperion, catalyst, motherboard, etc) worked... the WEIRD part is this stupid video card was working JUST FINE before trying to update the drivers! so no, it's not possible that the video card is bad... is it?
