SCSI Unbuffered Writes in XP

mckennwa
I am doing some testing of a video capture board using unbuffered SCSI I/O. When I perform this operation under Win2k I have no problems, however, on the same machine, with a Win XP install, the system will cause a STOP upon the first attempt to perform the SCSI Unbuffered I/O.

Geforce2 and Matsonic

Ace
My friend gave me a his old GeForce2 MX and we tried to install it. We plugged it in the AGP slot and plugged the monitor cable in but there was no picture appearing. So we thought to disable the integrated card in the BIOS and change it to AGP.

Hi I finally built my first AMD system. I'm not impressed with the heating though. I swaped my original AMD cooler for a vocano 9 and it is very noisy, even in its lowest speed. in fact i have a P4 2.

ATI 3.8 drivers and lockups

sapiens74
Ever since I installed the 3. 8 drivers my machine does something really weird, only after it comes out of a screen saver. This little box appears in the upper left hand corner, looks just like a TV tuner picture thats scrammbles, then the monitor kicks off, and it hard locks.

Out of scan range error on ATi 9600

silicongod
Folks, I recently upgraded to a ATi 9600PRO vid card from a Geforce4 MX 460 (it's a long story). Now, at intermittent intervals the screen will go black and a Out of scan range message appears. Sometimes I can shutdown, but others the only option is reset.

What date is shown for your...

Lotus
What date and version are shown in device manager for your ACPI? I am just doing a comparison, cause I think there is something wrong somewhere in my system. Date: 11/14/1999 Version: 5. 0. 2183. 1 I was told I should either have a tab for ACPI or APM under my power options in control panel.

ATI Radeon 7200 ghosting problem CATALYST

jerlands
I updated the drivers using CATALYST Windows XP 3. 8 and now have shadows on the screen. This problem did not exist before I installed the drivers and uninstalling catalyst doesn't seem to help either.

Poll! Worlds worst custom machine???

pbuckne
The guys at the shop came up with the worlds worst possible custom configured machine. If it's not the worst, it's gotta be close. We decided that if ECS built a current motherboard that would run cyrix, and was entirely usb, no ps2 or parallel controllers, that would be a good start.
