ok, here you go:

You need cookies enabled to access it.

Remove the module, start the system up, close it down and re-connect the module.
If it's not found when you start the system back up, then it's either a faulty module, or a faulty motherboard connector. (Unless there is a switch for it in the BIOS which you've missed :P )

Do you know where the bluetooth card is on the laptop, if it's accessible, try reseating it.
If you don't, check the HP Compaq website for a manual which show's you where it is.
Depending on the system, it might be easy to get to, or it might not.

Yep, I'm getting around 25-30FPS with 5040x1050.
Change it to RGB16 and it jumps to 55-60FPS.
I have noticed the occassional flash of solid colour on the side screens as well, that seems to disappear if you use YUV12, but you mentioned before that you couldn't get it working with that.

Saw your vid up Jakg, what FPS are you getting now?
I noticed a fairly big jump in FPS by changing the secondaryFormat from RGB32 - to RGB16 (approx 20FPS jump)

That may be an easy way but it's totaly wrong.

Yeah, edited my post to make it right. Was in a hurry when I typed it

Meh crossfire/SLI, im still a confused noob

Easy way to remember it.
Crossfire is for AMD/ATI graphics cards.
SLI is for nVidia graphics card.
The two are not compatible.

x38 supports crossfire, not SLI

Look further back, you can make out the brown leather of his left foot, just the way he's standing.

Thanks Jakg, quick test with that config has it working ok, now just need to work on the various border bezel, and various ingame settings to get it tweaked to what I want

Vista has RAID drivers for some chipsets, but not all.
Your motherboard RAID chipset must be one of the ones it has a driver for.

Could you post you config file please Jakg, I'll be looking to try and get this setup on this system tomorrow, so would be helpfull to have a starting point to work from.

Something else which is worth checking when setting up a new system with a quad core processor.
Check that the BIOS is enabling all 4 cores.
My new motherboard had cores 3 & 4 disabled by default, I wouldn't have noticed till I ran benchmarks if I hadn't been checking out the various BIOS options.

I wasn't aware that any motherboard's came with RAID enabled by default.
Worth checking to be sure though.

Start by removing everything the system doesn't 'have' to have.
That's floppy drive, extra hard drives, extra optical drives, sound cards, graphics card (if the motherboard has an onboard one), any more than a single single stick of RAM.
Reseat everything, all power and data cables and all add in cards.
Reseat the processor, redo the thermal paste on it, check the CPU fan is connected, working, and pointing the right way.
Check the power supply fan is working.
Reset the BIOS to factory defaults.
Let it sit in the BIOS for 30 mins, check the temps every 5 mins or so and see if it's locking up.
If you have a spare optical drive, try the install using that.
If you have a different OS disk, try with that.
If you have a spare PSU, try that.
If you have different RAM, which is compatible with the motherboard, test it with that RAM.
If you have a different processor which is compatible with the motherboard, test it with that processor.
If you don't have the spares available, try running memtest off a boot disk.

you've got it set to use 'virtual' mirrors.
Change it to 'real' or 'all' to get the mirrors showing the view. Doing so may reduce your overall FPS though.

I'll let you know how I get on with the Asus 780i motherboard.
I've got one due to be delivered tomorrow.

A number of forum software's have had issue's with hotmail and activation emails over the years. I doubt if it's gotten any better recently.

Dave - aren't you taking part in the International series?

Drivers of the international eTM arent permitted to race in the nationals, as there are spots available to relegate.

from the etm forum.

So, if all the steering is done using the handle bars, and none through body steering, how is it possible for bikes (bicycles and motorbikes) to be ridden with 'no hands'?

I think the relevant words in the article, are 'the priciple method' of steering.
If body steering didn't help you go round corners, do you really think you'd see every profession bike racer throwing themselves around in the saddle the way they do?

If it's the same motherboard the memory keeps dying in, then it might be something to do with the motherboard that's killing them.
Is it the same slot on the board that the memory keeps dying in?

You can use unsigned drivers on Vista 64 bit, Microsoft changed their minds about that a while back.
It's just that not all the unsigned drivers will work correctly, since a lot of them are just 32-bit drivers re-packaged.

I would think that the fact that you've paid to take part, would make you more inclined to complete the season regardless of where you were in the overall standings.
Even if (as it is) the amount you're paying is fairly low.
If I was in a position to take part at the moment, I would, as it is, I'll need to hope I can enter next season.

Depends on what software you're going to want to run on it.
I've been using Vista 64 bit for almost a year now without any major issues.

You do want to check that the software/hardware you want to use it with a 64 bit compatible however. Vista has better 64 bit support than XP, but there are still some software and hardware out there which won't work properly on it.

Try running a traceroute on the IP address ad see where it breaks down.
Type 'tracert 195.12.48.50' at the cmd prompt.

If it stops before getting to the server, then it's a routing issue.
If it doesn't even leave your local system, then....

Here's what I get:

Well, if you've disconnected everything from the motherboard (including ram, drives, etc) and still get nothing, then it's got to be either the motherboard or the power supply that's bust.
With that error though, it's almost certainly the motherboard.
