Re: [H] Spontaneous Reboots because of my graphics card?

[Stan Zaske]

Unfortunately the card is totally dead as in no video period. It just 
stopped working during some overclocking experiments. I'm currently 
watching some FX5200's on eBay and will buy one soon (MythTV experiment) 
and that should tell me the mobo is fine. I've temporarily installed a 
PCI Radeon 9200SE and everything seems fine otherwise. I've boosted the 
voltage on the card before and it still crashed and it did the same in 
my MSI board as well. My bad, I should have RMA'd it from the beginning.


FYI, I was just kidding about ATI sucking and look forward to reading 
the reviews on their latest: "supposedly the Radeon X1900 XTX will be 
clocked at 650MHz core / 1.5GHz memory and have 48 pixel pipelines". 
Wow! @:D>

Sometimes increasing the AGP voltage a notch for stability is called for.

My 9800pro is currently dead in mailer here, still awaiting me to ship 
it back to CW, sooner than later I'll get around to it.

I thought I had solved the problem by reducing the AGP bus speed from 66 

to 50 MHz ...

RE: [H] ? Spyware or just wierd install..

[Chris Reeves]

Yeah, they are.  I'm going to try something really goofy tomorrow.. install
VPC to see if a VPC PC on this box can access out; if it can, then I know
that it's something with the Windows on that PC...

[joeuser]

Are the time and date correct? I have seen Citrix act weird when time 
and date are not sync'd or close.

Nothing removed anywhere.  Scanned from within the PC at boot & from Bart.

I'm running out of plausible ideas for anything ;)

Anyone got something I may be missing?

RE: [H] Disk tools?

[Chris Reeves]

I use O&O and like it; but I've become a big fan of Acronis stuff
(http://www.acronis.com/)  Good products for what they do.  They've got some
new stuff coming this summer, that without breaking NDA I can tell you is
pretty freaking slick.

[H] Disk tools?

[Brian Weeden]

What's everyone using for disk tools these days?  I am still using O&O
Defrag 2000.  I am looking for something with the functionality of the
old Norton products (speed disk, error check, etc) without all the
current Norton crap.

Re: [H] Any MythTV users out there?

[Brian Weeden]

The only reason that I haven't gone that route is because I am a
satellite user and there isn't a decoder card for PCs yet.  Howver, at
CES DirectTV announced a deal with Microsoft that would result in a
MCE box that would PVR satellite using the same technology as
CableCard for cable.

Sounds great, but I am not putting down 1 cent until I see the DRM. 
And I know its gonna be bad :(

Makes me glad that I have the MyHD MDP-120 card & the broadcast flag 
was rejected [at least for now].  I know several peeps that bought 
extra MyHD cards when they feared the broadcast flag was going into effect.

What gets me is if I obtain the original video legally then why do 
they care what I do with it in my own home?   Just 
because I have rape tools doesn't make me a rapist no more than woman 
has to be a prostitute. These guys are treating all of us like we're 
criminals when we haven't even been accused never mind charged with 
anything. This whole deal with the RIAA & the MPAA ticks me off & 
it's because of their attitudes that many do all that they can to 
turn the tables on them.
