I have a Foxconn A7DA-S motherboard that has 2 PCIE x16 slots. They each run at x8 if I use Crossfire.
My question is, does it matter which slot I put my single radeon 5770 card in? If I install the card in 2nd slot instead of the 1st slot, will it still run at x16 as long as I don't use crossfire?
I ask this because I am trying to make room for a PCIE x1 tv tuner card.
I was having a problem with dual monitor using 7127 build. But only when I use newest NVIDIA drivers. My tv just flashes a few times, and I can see that fish a couple of times, but then it just goes to like no signal. If I use default drivers which are installed on windows install, then it works fine, but then I dont have NVIDIA control panel and some other features.
My video card is GF 8800GTS 650M 512MB DDR3 DUAL DVI TV PCIE. I would like to know if anyone else is having this problem and If it has been fixed in the newest build, so I could be arsed to do a clean install.
I have a UAD Quad PCIe card (A card for music making, not a soundcard tho), which my computer can't find.It has a LED light that indictates that it's getting power from the computer and so on.

Motherboard: Asus M4N68T
CPU: AMD Phenom 3Ghz (4x)
RAM: 4 GB
Graphics: NVidia GeForce 8600 GT
I'm trying to install the Sapphire ATI Radeon X1800 XT graphics card, however, when I place it in the PCIe slot, I don't get any video. The card only has two DVI outputs. The mother board is a Gigabyte ga-k8n51gmf-9 with an Nvidia 6100 integrated graphics. I can get a signal with VGA off the on board graphics, and I disable it, then try and install the new card and I don't get any signal from either the card, or the VGA output (Integrated). When I take the card out, I get a signal from the VGA again...Also, the CMOS battery had to be replaced. I'm wondering what settings need to be changed. Its an Award BIOS F7.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSeems I am not having much luck with graphics drivers in windows 7.
On my test box which currently runs the RC build of windows 7. I decided to install the latest stable version of the nvidia drivers, since my production pc also uses nvidia I wanted to test it prior to installing windows 7 on my production pc.
The driver that was shipped with the RC build is stable enough, no problems with it. I installed the driver from nvidia's website and noticed problems immediatly.
If I browse a website that has animated flash and also if I move the mouse pointer around then the entire screen flickers, sometimes just the flash flickers.
If I downgrade the driver the problem goes away, upgrade the driver the problem comes back.
Has anyone else suffered from screen flickering when using internet explorer with flash content on windows 7?
I am hoping this is a RC bug that does not exist in the RTM build.
The card in question is a pcie 7600GT, supported by nvidia in windows 7.
I asked yesterday about running my graphics card from the second PCIe slot for purely visual reasons after deciding that the speed decrease would be negligible if any. I tried to start the computer with the video card in the second PCIe slot (PCIe 3.0, 8x), but I got no video signal to my screen with both the motherboard output and the video card output. Is it actually possible to run a single graphics card out of a PCIe slot which isn't the primary one?

Overall performance has dropped as well.Ive tried using Latency Checker and Latencymon and Realtek Ethernet Diagnostics Utility to try and diagnose the problem and the closest thing ive come to is that it has something to do with 'Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller' as when I disable it the stutter appears to vanish and latency readings drop however I need that to connect to the internet so keeping it removed is not really an option.I have tried using a variety of drivers and methods from this forum and others and none have come to be of any use as of yet.

View 1 Replies View Relateddual booting windows 7 home premium x64 with linux fedora 14 on dual independantly dedicated drives. i am a college student with moderate computer (windows) knowledge but am doing software development and would like to play around with some linux for a class. i have no prior experience with linux and have minimal knowledge of operation. i am currently running windows 7 and would like to keep it as my primary os. i do not wish to share media files across drives or os's, windows does that just fine as is and i dont want to get into a third drive. my current drive is a 1tb wd black caviar hdd. it is also currently 2/3rds full and the desktop is about 6 months old so i would rather not partition the drive for a dual boot. i would think that there are some other advantages for the os's operating independantly off their own drives other than if one hdd dies i should still have the other with its os still ok. i have read some topics about RAID configs with dual boot setups with dual drives like this but am not very familiar with RAID. is there a RAID config that would be beneficial in this situation? i currently do not have a RAID card. my tower internals are not very accessible and i dont like the idea of disconnecting drives depending on which os i want to operate.

View 5 Replies View RelatedAs currently configured, XP is on drive C:, Win 7 was added to drive E:, and the system is currently run as a dual boot. Attempting to boot without the XP drive present will yield a "NTLDR is missing" error very early in the boot process.
I have already tried the following:
(1) I moved the hidden Windows Boot Manager files (bootmgr as well as the associated Boot folder) from the XP drive root to the Win 7 drive root.
(2) After physically removing the XP drive, I rebooted to the Win 7 installation DVD, and used the "Repair Your Computer" option to pull up the "Recovery Tools". Then, using the command prompt utility, ...
(3) I attempted to write a new boot sector to the Windows 7 disk using the command: Bootrec /fixboot, - that yields an error though. The Bootrec /fixmbr claimed success, but ultimately did not make Win 7 drive bootable.
I had to reconnect drive C: just to boot into Win 7 again to write this. I do have files backed up, but to format and reinstall files would take many hours beyond just the time to transfer 400 GB of data, since I have dozens of purchased applications that need to be freshly reinstalled and validated as well. Basically I want my E: drive now to be my boot drive while the C: drive is reformatted and used for general storage.
Any idea how to make my Win 7 drive bootable? Do I need a partition program that is more adept at creating a viable boot sector, or is that even the problem?
I have Win XP 32 bit on my old drive. I buy Win 7 full retail and a new HD. I set bios to boot from cd etc. Win 7 starts up. It shows the 2 drives, so I select new drive...no problems. It starts install. I leave it to do its stuff.When I come back its up and all ok.I dint get any option to boot from XP. The drive was listed as "SYSTEM" but not old Windows or anything.
Also ASUS chipset drivers dont work and they were listed as 7 drivers.I tried Vista drivers but it normally shuts down and restarts. Nothing.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have this machine that was dual booted with XP and Win 7. Everything was working gravy. I put up the RC on the machine and now I get NTLDR erros when trying to get into XP.
Physical setup is as folows:
Sata Drive with three partitions (XP, Storage, Storage 2)
IDE drive with One partition (Windows 7)
Boot order is Sata, then IDE.
The boot loader comes up and I can get into windows 7 no problem, but when I choose the XP I get NTLDR errors.
I redid the boot loader with easybcd, but I still get the errors, I've copied NTLDR and NTDETECT.com on just about every drive except my card reader (haha).

On my primary monitor I've run a 360 and my Windows 7 p.c into it. I've set up a shortcut hotkey so that I can disable the primary to swap to the 360 when needs be. However I'd like to be able to access the web whilst using my 360 without having to cycle through the monitor menu to swap back. So I got my old monitor on my desk, however I can't think what to do with it. It's got a lower resolution than my primary so simply making it the secondary whenever I want to use the 360 isn't viable (it messes up the icons).
I can't think of any work around, using ultramon and shrinking the main image isn't very good either due to it having both delay and a lower framerate even at the the highest systme usage settings. Can you guys think of any work arounds? I've tried saving the icon positions but then firefox still opens in the main monitor. I really would like to swap monitors on the fly with a hotkey and restore icons later.
i need a little help with Windows 7 duel monitoring,
im running Windows 7 on my laptop, and want to hook up a 2nd stand alone monitor to the left hand side of my laptop.
i hooked the monitor in correctly but my laptop doesnt notice that the 2nd screen is plugged in.
any idea's what could be the problem ?
I have dual monitors, one on my laptop and another bigger monitor for when I am docked and at the office.
Under XP I had it set so that when I closed the lid on my laptop, the lapto screen was shut off and all files that were subsequently opend were opened to the main big screen.
It appears now that when I close the lid the screen stays on and if there was a window showing on the laptop when the lid is closed it does not automatically switch to the big monitor. It used to under XP. Is there a way to duplicate this behavior in Windows 7?
There are times when I want to use just one monitor and shut the monitor built-in to the lap top - off. Is there an easy way to do so?
i recently installed windows 7. the system runs smoothly however.
this motherboard has two video out ports and supports surround view which enables me to attach a ATi video card to the pci-e slot and both operating giving me 4 monitors.
this feature worked fine for me in windows xp and vista. however it is not working in 7.
windows detects both my video card however it disables my intergrated.
it appears that its disabled because the WDDM version is different (1.0 instead of 1.1)
i have gotten it to work once only, so i know it can be done. i just dont know how.
my system:
mobo: Asus m2a-vm
onboard gfx: ATI x1250
dedicated: ATI HD 3450 (pci-e)
