Video Card Beep Error - Windows Fails To Load

Last night my comp was making a loud beeping noise and it turned out to be my video card. So i boot it up, get all the screens and it eventually hits the windows screen with the options of safe mode, last known configuration that worked, and run windows normally. The problem is no matter which one i pick (done them all several times) it always does the same thing. The window logo screen loads where the little blue bar travels across below the logo usually meaning windows is starting up, but everytime it has that screen for about 15 seconds then a quick flash of the blue screen of death and my computer resets and does the whole process again?

Failed To Load Detection Driver - Error

I would load windows vista and get a bsod with the failure registering in an atixxx.dll . I figured it was a driver error so i tried reinstalling my drivers. I did a driver sweep and started up the install.exe. Halfway through, the install would either crash my entire system or i would get a "failed to load detection driver" error. Very frustrating. Last night, i reinstalled vista. Drastic, i know. I installed all of the updates. I then tried to reinstall the ccc package. Same error! I looked online for some fixes. This one:

http://www.Driverheaven.net/driverheaven-tools-discussion/174912-failed-load-detection-driver-installation-error.html

Seemed promising but didn't work for me. I don't know what else to do. Any ideas? I might end up selling my 4870 and buying a nvidia product just to avoid this issue.

Raid 6 + 2 Failed Drives + Read Error On One Drive

Well just as the title says, i have a server with an areca 1280ml and 14 x 1. 5 tb seagate hard drives. I recently suffered the simultaneous loss of 2 drives followed by one hard drive giving read errors. As a result, rebuilding the array is impossible.could anyone give me any suggestions to recover the array?

Should i contact a data recovery company to fix that hard drive and proceed with a rebuild?

Error: System Failed Cpu Test - Computer Randomly Shuts Down

Basically, my computer randomly shuts down. Not shuts down through windows, just plain shuts off. Now its been suggested that this is either the power supply or the cpu fan, but i don't know which and really have no idea of that out. I have an antec 350w power supply on an asus p4c800 deluxe and a pentium 4. I am also getting an error message sometimes when i start up (sometimes after the random shutdown, sometimes not) that the "system failed cpu test, " but again i have no idea how to correct this. This isn't as bad because i just try again after that message and the computer boots up fine.

Usb 2.0 External Hdd Error Windows Delayed Write Failed

I purchased a western digital 40 gb, 5400rpm usb2. 0 external hdd(2. 5") recently and when i try to copy large cunk of data, windows gives me an error

"Windows-delayed write failed"
Windows was unable to save all the data for the file deviceharddiskvolume6. The data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save this file else where. But small chunks of data can be saved. Also when this happens, windows does not recognize the partitions of the usb drive and shows only one letter for the drive without any contents!

My pc's configuration is as follows:

850mhz celeron
256mb sdram
Internal 20gb samsung hdd(54000rpm)
Pci-to-usb - pci card fitted into pci slot(has 4 usb outlets)
Windows 2000 professional with sp4

I have no conflicts whatsoever with the usb drivers. One more thing; i have not faced the above problem when i try to transfer data from another system which is of a higher configuration than what i have mentioned above. This system's configuration is:
Windows 2000 professional service pack 4 (build 2195)
1. 93 gigahertz intel pentium 4
8 kilobyte primary memory cache
256 kilobyte secondary memory cache
512mb ddr-ram

Any fix?

Video Card - Pixel Shader Vs Video Memory

My pick are these two video cards for my old computer for my basic needs(don't need to burn my expensive laptop). Asus radeon hd 3450 256 mb ah3450 8x agp low profile

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/ebayisapi.dll?Viewitem&item=130409671601&sspagename=strk:mewax:it

Vs

512mb pny geforce 6200 vga/dvi/hdtv agp vcg62512aeb

http://www.Ewiz.com/detail.php?Name=pny-62ag51

>Both almost the same price(not buying from the links above)

>Gf6200: twice the video memory of the radeon hd 3450. Supports directx 9. 0, shader model 3. 0 and opengl 2. 0 support

>Radeon supports directx10. 1 and shader model 4. 1 enables stunning and complex special effects opengl2. 0 support

I might not use that that old crap to play games that needs directx10. 1(shader4. 1) but i might consider someday. Gf6200 has twice the video ram though. Any suggestions?

I will be playing games that only needs directx 9. 0c(shader3. 0), so i'm assuming direct10. 1(shader4. 1) will improve graphic qualities? But it has halve the video ram than the other.

Integrated Video Card Can Use Ram As Video Memory?

I want to know more about my video card(intel integrated extreme graphics 2 [circa 2003]) cause i don't understand, i tried googling for a while with no result:

1) how much exactly video memory does it have?

2) i heard that if it's integrated, i can go to the bios and make ram be shared with my video memory in case my video ram isn't enough? Is that true? Is that true with my integrated card too?

3) i'm of course going to buy a video card(agp type) capable of handling at least pixel shader 2. 0. If question 2 is "yes", can the new graphic card also be shared to use ram if necessary?

Depending if my integrated video card can use ram as video memory, this will help me decide whether i should get more ram or an agp video card that has a lot of video ram

I can't test the bios because i just ordered the old desktop and it will take a while to come:

Compaq evo d510 cmt

Windows xp professional

Intel pentium 4 2. 4 ghz single core

512mb(768ram) 80gbhdd agp slot

Integrated card extreme graphics 2 (circa 2003)

http://h18000. Www1. Hp.com/products/quickspecs/11349_na/11349_na.html

If anyone should know, i have a powerful laptop already and i don't want to kill it by hours of basic stuff this old desktop can do.

Video Card For Improving Video Quality On 22'' Monitor

I am seeking for help to improve the video quality of the 22'' monitor. It's samsung t220 and the max resolution it supports is 1680 x 1050. Currently, it's connected through vga with the onboard intel integrated graphics. Say if i connect a video card and then connect monitor through dvi, will i be able to see considerable improvement in the video quality? Please advise how do i get the best out of the monitor. Also, can i see hd content on this monitor? It does support hdcp. And i found this ati radeon 4350 hd video card - which looks decent enough for movies and casual stuff. I don't plan to game on this machine. Is this card fine for my purpose?

3 Monitors - 1 Video Card

Quick question, i currently have a bfg 8800gt w/ 2x 23" samsung lcd monitors. I'm thinking about getting another 23" monitor and making it a 3-monitor setup but my video card only has 2x dvi ports. Also, my motherboard only has 1x pci 2. 0 x16 slot, so sli isn't an option. What can i do to make this work? Is there an easy solution other than selling my 8800gt and buying a card with more slots?

It's a radeon x1300 pcie 256 mb card. I've read that there are only 4 pipes unlocked but there are an additional 4 available to be unlocked to become a x1300 pro. Does anybody know how to do this and if it's of any benefit?

My card software says my bios gpu is running at 600 mhz and the bios memory is 800 mhz. Any advice to make the card better or is what i have good enough?

Video Card Dead

Well, i just received a new computer which was put together by a friend. He had it oced to perfection. So i received it and he had the gpu laying out, so i put it back in the pci-slot, plugged in my monitor, and the screen just was black. So, he told me since it came out, i would have to reset the bios. So i took out the battery waited 30seconds, turned off computer, put gpu and battery back in, then i turned it out, the screen went weird colors, then seemed fine, so i turned it off to put in the rest of my things, like keyboard, then i turned on again and it didn't show. Now, i took the gpu out of mobo to see if it would run( the fan) , and it didn't, so i put it back in, and the fan starts, and everything else is running properly, i cn't get any picture though?. I'm brining it in to a store tomorrow, but if they gpu was dead, would the fan still start?, Because when i put it in the motherboard the fan spins and sounds like it is all going good , but it just dont show anything on the screen?

Use A Computer Without A Video Card

This may get allot laughs, but it seems like it would be possible these day. I have a separate computer. Im waiting on the video card but its there anyway i can use this computer to "see/use" my other computer over a network or such. I have no clue, its a dumb question, cause its like "man just get a damn video card" haha but i was wondering, i know like mypc.com you can get to computers via internet, but i think you have to set it up on the first computer, so if anyone knows.
