Re: Videocard trouble Hardware and Software Hardware by Pistols Hi, I'm having the same problem with my Sapphire Radeon 9600XT 256Mb. I load up a agame, go into the actual playing mode (3D mode) and after a short period 5-30 seconds, it crashes.... the whole system. Requiring a manual reboot. :sad: I've been looking all over the net but most forums have said turn Fast Write off, which I have. Others have… Re: Videocard trouble Hardware and Software Hardware by Pistols It is slightly worrying that your comp froze when you put your old graphics card back in. I got my card from MicroDirect and luckily I'm off to Manchester where they're based for the weekend, I'm gonna take mine back to them and see what they think. Since the error report for mine stated a thread error and it's to do with the drivers/hardware … Re: Videocard trouble Hardware and Software Hardware by Pistols ok, the computer froze while browsing the web. uh oh. :cry: Same error as before, this time I copied it: [url="http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=293078"][color=#800080]Error Message: STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (Q293078)[/color][/url] Anyone have a clue what this actually means? other than a command thread from the… Re: Videocard trouble Hardware and Software Hardware by Catweazle It means that your display drivers are incorrectly installed or corrupted. Before wiping clean and installing fresh, check in BIOS setup and ensure that AGP is set to 4X and that 'Fast writes' are set to 'Disabled' .

If that doesn't help, format … Re: Videocard trouble Hardware and Software Hardware by Catweazle You can't 'break' anything by making BIOS changes. If things go haywire on you then all you have to do is reset CMOS to return it back to factory presets ;) Re: Videocard trouble Hardware and Software Hardware by Pistols Well, I took my Radeon back to the shop and they tested it for ages, so it aint a hardware problem. I ran programs on my comp like detonator destroyer like the tech guy advised me and still the problem is there. I did a windows repair install and reinstalled SP2 aswell to clear out anything else and that didn't work. Tried my 2 memory sticks on … Re: Videocard trouble Hardware and Software Hardware by Catweazle Format. Fresh install. Your system has driver corruption problems which a repair won't fix.

Hardware and Software Hardware by Knight Trane Hi Guys and Gals, I wanted to try set up my nVidia GeForce 7300GT. The problem is, I'm a cabinetmaker, and obviously I can't just hit it with a hammer until it fits. I just don't understand what all the settings do or how they interact with each other. could anyone direct me to a site that speaks english on the subject, or maybe some … Re: Videocard Settings, Help? Hardware and Software Hardware by compdoc what is it exactly that you are having trouble with what is it that you want to do Re: Videocard Settings, Help? Hardware and Software Hardware by Knight Trane I just want to understand what all the different settings mean. Antialiasing, Anisotropic filtering, Extention limit... I could go on but I wouldn't know where to stop. I've checked the nVidia sites but it only tells you how to change the settings, not what they mean to, or how they effect system performance. Re: Videocard Settings, Help? Hardware and Software Hardware by compdoc Antialiasing : a technique for smoothing out jagged lines in graphical computer output. (this just helps the edges of letters and pictures look smooth) Anisotropic filtering is a method of enhancing the image quality not really sure what Extention limit is, but I did a search and found that most people keep it off. I don't believe … Re: Videocard Settings, Help? Hardware and Software Hardware by bondi007 If you wanted to know actually how to fit a graphics card in it is rather simple, just make sure you have the right card for the right slot e.g if you have a AGP card then you have to have a motherboard compatible with AGP and just line the card up and press it into the slot :) If you know how to do this then :P Re: Videocard Settings, Help?

Hardware and Software Hardware by joytech22 anti-aliasing makes those zigzaggy lines in games and things smooth. Anisotropic filtering smoothes the textures so, for example a grass texture will blend nicely with A mud texture. the higher these things are, the better quality you get but also strains the GPU (7300GT). doesn`t worry me though, i have a 9800GTX.
