Frustrated with my new g4mx440 vtp video card

hi all. i just built a new system (first time) and i have been having some trouble with my video. i have an athlon 1800+, kt3 ultra motherboard, g4mx440 vtp video card, 512 mb 333 ddr ram and a 350 watt ps. it will work for a while fine (1 day to a week or two) then when i boot up it goes through the windows xp logo and the screen goes black with just a small dash in the upper right corner. i have tried several drivers, (vgasave is about all that works after this) and the only way i have been able to fix this is to reinstall windows. Anyone have any suggestions. i am pulling my hair out.

harlmagic,
If you are running WinXP, get the Detonator 4, 40.41 drivers from the nVidia Site and the latest 4in1 drivers from Via.
Check your power supply to make sure it can handle the load with an Athlon and a GF4. Not all 350W power supplies deliver the juice as advertized.
Then get a new HD Ribbon as Assaf suggests. T
he only other thing would be to leave the computer as a virgin install and do not load and programs for a week or so. Just surf the net etc and see if you still have the problem.
If are are good, start adding programs and see if it corrupts then.
Good Luck,
Richard

New GTXGe Force770 video card but Premiere pro not seeing it?

Hi - this is probably a dumb question.. but i have upgraded with a new video card which is CUDA enabled but in New Project Settings the Video render box is greyed out. What do I have to do to have Premiere & Photoshop use the maximum power of this new video card ? Am sure there is something I haven't done? is ther some driver I need to download?
HELP appreciated!

Building a new computer.. video card help?

im building a new system, planning to use after effects CS5 on it, and these are the specs.
Intel Core i7 930 2.8 GHz w/ 8mb cache
Asus P6T SE Motherboard
2 x 500GB Caviar Black 7200 RPM SATA HD (linked somehow.. raid, maybe? he said it's show up as one drive and be faster)
2 TB 5400 RPM Additional storage drive.
Patriot Extreme Performance Viper II Series DDR3 12GB (6 x 2GB)
GeForce GTS 250 512MB PCI-E w/ DVI, HDMI
and a 24" Samsung Display.
This has run me 2200, already a little over over my budget?
My question is, is it worth the upgrade to a 285 (or maybe a Quadro)? This'll cost probably 300-400 more dollars. How different will it really be with this Mercury Playback Engine?

If you build the PC and it has RAID you can use a RAID 0 (striping). It
reads and writes faster but if one drive fails all is lost as each drive only contains half of
the data. I run an ICor7 920 2.66 that boots from a Western Digital 10K hard drive and runs two 500 GB drives in a RAID 0 for data drive. I didn't get the boost I expected from the RAID 0. I run two monitors with a 512 MB NVidia 8400 video card running my editing screen and a 1 GB NVidia 9500 running my display monitor. It works pretty well. The CS5 x64 really made it better but if I have too many layered sequences I have to reduce the monitoring to 1/4 res. I run Windows7 x64.

Receiving New iMac Free - Video Card Question

Much to my relief, Apple is replacing my 2008 24" iMac after I have brought it in to them 3 times for the same issue in a month (failure to startup, they have replaced two video cards, one MLB, and the display but the problem repeats itself within 1-2 weeks). They are replacing it with a newer model that has a 27" display, twice the ram (4 GB) and twice the HD space (1 TB). My question is about the video card in the new iMac, it is a ATI Radeon HD 4670 with 256 MB, and the card in my old iMac was a NVIDIA 8800 GS with 512 MB. My primary application for my iMac is gaming, which I believe makes the video card the most important component. Does anyone know the difference between 256 and 512 or anything about this new card? Should I ask them if I can pay to upgrade to the Radeon HD 4850 512 MB before I go in to pick up my new iMac?

Hi Crazy,
I had the exact same problem... my 18month old 24" iMac (with 512MB Video card) went belly up.
I pointed out that what they wanted to offer me had only the 256Mb Card ? ....and he said; "oops I didn't notice that"... so we will send your new 27" iMac - with a 512MB (ATI 4850) at no charge,
So... buddy you just need to tell them - and they will configure your replacement 27" to equal or better the minimum specification of your faulty unit.

Performance Problems with GeForce FX 5600 256mb Video Card

I recently purchased the GeForce FX 5600 VTD 256mb video card to replace my old ATi Radeon 8500 64mb card. I'm running an AMD 2800XP+ on an MSI K7N2 Delta-L, with 1gb of PC 2100 on Windows XP Pro.
I installed the latest drivers (from the EGA site) and ran 3DMark 2001 SE. My score for the old card (a 64mb card) was about 9200. My score for the new 256mb card is only 8700. My roommate has a GeForce 4 TI4600 128mb video card. We put his card in my computer, and I scored 11117. According to PCStats.com, the FX 5600 128mb version scored about 11000.
I've tried everything I can think of to ensure my video card is working properly, but I still get low scores. I don't know if I'm missing something somwhere, but there has to be a way to get more performance out of the video card. Can anyone help me out here?

Yeah, I've ran the driver cleaner after changing each driver. And I've tried several drivers with the new card. I've even changed the clock settings a bit, which has helped bring the scores up to around 9000. Still way off from the GeForce 4 or the 128mb version of the 5600.

I need to know if ECC ram in a HPZ1 is compatible with Quadro 500M, 1000M, 2000M video cards

hello,
i purchased a refurbished hpz1 a year ago, equipped with a Quadro 500M and 16 GB of ECC ram. The cpu is a Xeon e3 1245 v2.
I have lots of trouble trying to use this workstation with certain graphics programs, like Sketchup 2013 and 2014, as well as rendering programs. Anything from program freezing/shutting down shortly after opening to locking up the machine midstream. Yes, I have updated video drivers, several times, but still plagued with the same problem. Not all the time, but frequently.
In shopping for upgrades to the 500M card (like 3000M, perhaps) I have come across video card vendors that specifically mention these older Quadro cards are NOT compatible with ECC ram. I have brought this to the attention of the workstation vendor, IT Creations, in California, and they claim to never hearing of this issue.
I have spent dozens of futile hours over the past year dealing with system instability, issues like bootup screens informing me the ram system chip count has (erroneously) changed, requiring immediate shutdown and booting back up to override the message.
Is it true? CAN or SHOULD ECC ram be used with earlier Quadro cards using MXM3.0?

New MACpro Configuration - Video Cards

hello,
i am trying to configure my macPro online, my question is about the VideoCards, is it better to have 4x the Nvidia Card on the ATI with 512 MB??
I am mainly using Apeture, After effects,Motion and PS.
What should i do?
Thank you

the only main reason to have more than 1 video card is if you need to hook up more than 2 monitors.
there is a minority of users that know how to and can utilize two of the 7300 in SLI while running Windows in Bootcamp, but the performance of the SLI'd 7300 is much much less than the single ATI X1900.
the X1900 is much more powerful than the 7300, so if you are going to do a lot of work in Apeture and Motion, and you aren't going to use 3 or more monitors, then the right choice for you is the ATI X1900 hands down.
If you were only the occassional Aperture / Motion user, then you would not see a day to day difference between the 7300 and the X1900, as the faster card really only shows its muscle with certain tasks, it does not help while performing more mundane duties.

Trouble with my new ATI Radeon graphics card

Hello.
Today I installed Arch Linux on my PC. I wanted to run Xorg and needed the ATI graphics drivers. I read that the open source drivers aren't fast as the properietaries are. So I decided to choose the properietary one.
First I tried to install from the Arch Repositories (pacman -Sy catalyst catalyst-utils) but I got an error:
fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1)
After this I downloaded the .run-Script from ati.com. Whil starting X I got the same error as before:
fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1)
I checked my xorg.conf twice and it seems that there's everything is okay. But there's something I don't understand: In the config, the BusID is set to 1:0:0 and in the error message it uses 1:0:1.
lspci|grep VGA showed me the following information:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV410 [Radeon X700 Pro (PCIE)]
It says that I have a PCIExpress card? But I don't have! It is a AGP card!
What can I do now? I waste hours of hours without getting an answer. Now I'm really depressed.
On a forum I read, I should buy a NVIDIA card. If no one can give me an answer, perhaps I will.
Thank you very much.

I am new to Linux but I used to have an X800 agp card when I used Ubuntu gutsy so I kind of know what you are going through.
I did a quick search here http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI and spotted this ( I am hoping that this may help)
System Freezes/Hard locks
* To prevent system lockups, try adding the following lines to your fglrx "Device" section in xorg.conf
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"
Option "KernelModuleParm" "agplock=0" # AGP locked user pages: disabled
Note: Neither option is necessary anymore since 8.24.18 because ATI has removed the internal AGP GART support from the driver.
* As well, the radeonfb framebuffer drivers have been known in the past to cause problems of this nature. If your kernel has radeonfb support compiled in, you may want to try a different kernel and see if this helps.
[edit] Hardware Conflicts
Radeon cards used in conjunction with some versions of the nForce3 chipset (e.g. nForce 3 250Gb) won't have 3D acceleration. Currently the cause of this issue is unknown, but some sources indicate that it may be possible to get acceleration with this combination of hardware by booting Windows with the drivers from nVIDIA and then rebooting the system. This can be verified by issuing in a root console the following command:
dmesg | grep agp
If you get something similar to this (using an nForce3-based system)
agpgart: Detected AGP bridge 0
agpgart: Setting up Nforce3 AGP.
agpgart: aperture base > 4G
and also if issuing this command...
tail -n 100 /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep agp
...gets something similar to:
(EE) fglrx(0): [agp] unable to acquire AGP, error "xf86_ENODEV"
Then you have this bug.
Some sources indicate that in some situations, downgrading the motherboard BIOS may help, but this cannot be verified in all cases. Also, a bad BIOS downgrade can render your hardware useless, so beware.
See bug http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6350 for more information and a potential fix.

FCP compatibility with Everio & new HD, HDD video cameras

Hey, I have this beautiful list of hard drive/DVD+R hi def video cameras below. I'm set on the JVC Everio series, but i want to know from my fellow FCP users on how well these new AVCHD based cameras work in Final Cut. And is the 1920x1080 HD footage compressed or uncompressed and will I need to format the footage to DVCPROHD to reduce render times? I currently shoot with a Sony A1U, HDV based video camera and I am editing the 1080i based footage in native HDV on a Dual Core MacBook Pro. I have also converted the footage to DVCProHD on several occassions to reduce render times.
1. Panasonic HDC-SX5
2. Sony HDR-UX7
3. Hitachi DZ-BD7H
4. Canon HR10
5. Samsung SC-HMX10
6. Sony HDR-CX7
7. Panasonic AG-HSC1
8. Sony HDR-SR5
9. Canon HG10
10. JVC GZ-HD3
11. JVC GZ-HD7
12. JVC MG255
13. JVC MG155
14. JVC MG130

HDV is highly compressed, probably compressed more than any other format any camera shoots. The format is an MPEG stream. (takes a long time to render effects etc with it, however FCP 6 improved it a bit. You can capture native via firewire, then render to ProRes faster... it's a setting found in the sequence's settings.
There is a list of qualified devices for FCP here: http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/resources/devicelist.php
Might take a peek there if no one can confirm that your camera of choice works.

Why are the tabs not saved when I restart Firefox? Very frustrating with the new version.

I pin a tab - or many tabs. Close Firefox, then open it the tabs are never saved. This was never the issue with the older versions of Firefox - been using it for years. I bought a new computer, loaded Firefox (19.0) and now I cannot "save" the tabs.

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

I am frustrated with the new IOS 7.0.2

After I upgrade to the new IOS 7.0.2 All my contacts where gone.
My favorites give me only numbers, with no names.
I stop sync long time ago because ICloud triplicate or quintuplicate all my contacts.
Last night I install IOS 7.0.2. on my wife's iphone. Guess what? I'm getting all texts on my iphone and my wife don't get her texts. How I can just separate the accounts?

No nothing helped. My first question was about the mirroring onto an Apple TV. Second was about skipping songs by double clicking the home button to access the music player/iPod built into the phone/iPhone. Another concern I have about the new update is Bluetooth. Every time I get in range of an item that's been already paired to my, I have to reconnect, by going into settings and looking for it though Bluetooth. I never had any of these problems before with apple. I was always a happy costumer ever since the first generation iPhone. I'm not trying to be negative nancy but I sure hope apple fixes these issues. And the final question is do you know anything about what's happening on fixing out the bugs. I'm sure you guys are getting tons of complaints.
