TV-out no longer works, NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti4200

Phalanx-Imawano
Seems that since the 30. xx plus detonator drivers, my Inno3D Tornado GeForce4 Ti4200 won't display anything on the TV out (on my TV, it just shows a plain blue screen, which it shows if Video In is selected and there's no video signal coming in).

msi fx5200 td 128 screen refresh

mat69
A month ago i bought a msi fx5200 (AGP) to replace my pci gf4 420 card. Installed it and used the drivers on the cd. Immediately i noticed the screen refreshing at random intervals. I did the usual troubleshooting, lowering the refresh rate to 75 - 72 -60 and also the res and colour bits ,etc.

TvOut problems on a radeon 9600

Tomay
I have a GigaCube radeon 9600 with 128MB ram. When I first tried the tvout it was working with no problems. But now it started to suck. It won't detect my TV that is connected to the tvout. If I short circuit the tvout I can enable tvout and when I plug in the TV everything works ok.

DVD-ROM ain't reading my DVDs anymore

djelite
Only thing I did different on my re-install of XP Pro, was have My Computer be set up as a Standard PC, instead of a ACPI-PC. (For music production reasons. ) It will read DATA and MUSIC CDs but, that's it.

Building a PC with DDR

jwl812
I am going to build an AMD system with an Athlon 2400+ processor. The 2400+ is a 266 FSB processor. I plan on using an nforce 2 ultra 400 mobo. Does anyone know if I have to use 266mhz DDR memory or can I install the new faster 400 mhz DDR memory with a processor that runs on a 266mhz FSB?.
