casekonly Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 arcel: reinstall it. 1234: yes, but you need a mod chip and specific instructions on how to burn the games. some dvd's work, some don't. speeds, overburning, etc come into play, too.

casekonly Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 guerilla: block 1,2,3,4: it depends. maybe $35-$100 there are different types...even clip ons so you wouldn't have to solder.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILOTSMYBRAIN Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Overheating issues. I recently invested in a new shuttle here are the links: http://store.yahoo.com/directron/sb95pv2.html http://store.yahoo.com/directron/vs1gbkit533d2.html http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/video/x800-1.html ( the first card on the list) Everytime I try to place any kind of game specifically CS:S, the shuttle after about a map rotation, sometimes sooner crashes, and reboots. Before it does that though, the game usually starts to do this. (screenshot in attachment) I took the case off, and tried running the game, and it usually lasts a little bit longer with the case on, but the same thing happens. After every crash, I touch the videocard and it's pretty fucking hot. My question here is, do you know of any ways to keep the video card cooler with this shuttle. There is no room to add any other fans, and it's pissing me off to the point where im going to go to bestbuy on friday and buy a fan just to have it sit next to the videocard to help keep it cool. ;\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILOTSMYBRAIN Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 The heatsink on my videocard is what I touched to see how hot it was, and my hand could have went on fire if I kept it there.. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casekonly Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 wow...hmm....and your system is running fine otherwise? maybe tweak the videocard settings down a little. go for performance instead of detail. a new better fan would help.... drill holes in your case..... dunno what else to tell you unless you went for liquid cooling.

Quoted post Well my case is off completly atm, and it really did nothing to help the issue, maybe a few more rounds of CS/MOH/w/e game i'm playing ATM. If you know of/where I could get information on how to underclock a ATI card, I think that would help. So far on google I haven't been able to find anything off the first few pages. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough. ;\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herbivore Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Originally posted by ILOTSMYBRAIN@Oct 6 2005, 08:36 PM Overheating issues. is the fan on the graphics card working? i'd say an easy fix would be to just leave the case off and have a fan blowing on your computer whenever you play games.

My little brother just got a small room fan, like one of those that are about a foot across.... and then he'd just leave that right next to the case, I dunnow how new your computer is, but we got the computer's temp lowered by about 15-20 degrees by doing that, and it'd keep it from crashing for a while longer.... you're probably gonna need a new card soon, my brother replaced his and everything is flippin sweet now.

David Dinkins Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Whats the difference between dvd-r and dvd+r? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbivore Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 http://www.answerbag.com/q_view.php/2279 Commercial Answer The truth is that the two competing technologies use different formats. No single company "owns" DVD and both technologies have their "champions". DVD-R/RW was developed by Pioneer. Based on CD-RW technology, it uses a similar pitch of the helix, mark length of the 'burn' for data, and rotation control. DVD-R/RW is supported by the DVD Forum, an industry-wide group of hardware and software developers, and computer peripheral manufacturers. The DVD-R format has been standardized in ECMA-279 by the Forum, but this is a private standard, not an 'industry' ISO standard like the CD-R/RW Red Book or Orange Book standard. DVD+R/RW is also based on CD-RW technology. DVD+R/RW is supported by Sony, Philips, HP, Dell, Ricoh, Yamaha, and others, and has recently been endorsed by Microsoft. DVD+R/RW is not supported by the DVD Forum, but the Forum has no power to set industry standards, so it becomes a market-driven issue. Technical Answer DVD+R is a dvd disc that allows multiple layers for one disc where as dvd-r only allows one layer. They will not compete to become the de Facto standard, because they are both here to stay. Multi layer DVD+R can allow extra capacity per disc than DVD-R hence its high cost!

8onus Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 CASEK: i installed limewire on my g4(osx) and it says it cant connect because i have a firewall, in my system prefernces under sharing it says firewall is off, so i reinstalled with no results. whats up? its not a wireless connection so i doubt its my router, help?

ILOTSMYBRAIN Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Yea I was already thinking about the fan thing. I'm probably going to head out to bestbuy tommorow. This whole system is brand new, so I have no idea why the card would be taking a shit. All the fans work, and I've lowered everything to preformance or high preformance, with all the ATI options.. I even took the case off, and put it close to my window so it gets a nice breeze. Hopefully the fan does the trick though. This really sucks btw :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnomeToys Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 ILOTS: If the system is new, get the card replaced. Nothing should be frying itself that fast unless you massively overclocked it. The company that made the card needs to send you a replacement right quick. Don't take no for an answer. 8onus: If you have a router, whether you're connecting to it through wireless or not, it probably has to be configured to specify which PCs on your internal network will receive forwards of incoming information to various ports. I don't know which port limewire uses, but you'll need to open that one up in the router configuration and set it to forward to your computer's IP address. See the router's manual for more details on how to do this, and the settings dialog in limewire for information on which port it uses.
