yep, works perfectly.

ok, I'm an idiot (well, thom's instructions said "agent mode", it was staring right at me as "aging mode" in service menu.

I've made progress. when attached to an older nvidia 7900GT (as opposed to the i5-2500k's hdmi) via a dvi->usb cable it detects the eeprom just fine, but then when I try to update, it gives an error that the "EEPROM may be write-protected or the cable may simply be too long". I've enabled the...

as a followup to my previous message, I see thom's method of updating the edid via powerstrip, but when I try to use it, I get an "EEPROM Error" message from powerstrip. "An EDID EEPROM was not detcted on the selected monitor. Do you want to scan the bus for other EDID EEPROMs?"

did you figure this out? I have same issue (including in bios) on my i5-2500k machine

So I've built a new machine, and wanted to be able to use the built in hdmi. However, this appears to be a problem. The screen is cropped (say about 1/8 of the left most side is missing, and I think a tiny bit on top) and it's moved (i.e. I end up with something that approximates a 4x3 box...

so, to resurrect my thread. as have 4 disks, the raid is rebuildable. However, seagate replaced the 400GB drives w/ 500GB drives. megaraid didn't seem to like it. as I had 3.5 TBs of room unallocated on my linux raid server, I create an lvm partition, wrote the images to it (w/ the help of...

in this case, I don't see how a hot spare wouldn't have helped. I have Disks 1-5 Timeline T1: Disk 2 dropped. T2: Rebuild started. T3: Disk 1 died w/ major problems even with a hot spare, if it the rebuild would have been to the hot spare, would have still had the same problem.

I'm waiting on seagate to send me the replacement disks. I'm actually going to image the other 3 disks to make sure they are ok (And get some SMART data on them). Though after I recover the array, I might just get rid of them as a raid array and use the card for jbod usage, unsure I really...

after a whole lot of effort, I was finally able to get one disk fully read with ddrescue! so now I have hopefully 4 good disks, will ddrescue the other 3 disks to ensure. now, hopefully I can force the array to be built. otherwise I'll have to look into the third party utility

anything I lost that wasn't backed up, isn't "needed" (for instance, probably about 500GB of media center recorded tv shows). Its stuff that while not simply replacable isn't a great loss. Other things include stuff that I can get again, but will take time (it served as my local software...

I'd argue I can be even smarter. I have 2 disks that are bad in different areas. I could do this 1) get replacement disk 0, image it w/ image made from original disk 0 with its 512byte bad block 2) place replacement disk 0 (imaged) and replacement disk 1 (empty) in raid array and force a...

I have 5 drives. 3 are completely fine. 2 have problems. RAID-5 needs 4 disks. With 1 disk with one bad block that is reimaged to a good disk, I'm looking at worst at N*stripe width of corrupted data (assuming each disk eventually gets rebuilt with corrupted data), though more likely just...

I did. read my original post. I have a ddrescue made image of both drives where it so far has only bee unable to read 1 512byte block on each. I wont attempt to rebuild the disk before I dd that image to a new replacement disk.

I've been able to recover all the data beside 1 512byte block, I would assume corruption should be minimal then.

not the system drive. I don't have an intact array, that's the point. the Q is can I force megaraid (LSI) to use the "bad" array with the knowledge that one stripe of data will be corrupted (due to one bad block that I haven't been able to recover yet).

as an update, I've managed with ddrescue to get disk 0 down to 1 512byte block.

so I had 2 disks that kicked the bucked close to each other in time. of the 5 disks (0 through 4, each 400GB, for a total of ~1.5TB of disk space), disk 1 kicked first, as it was rebuilding disk 0 died. with ddrescue, I was able to recover all but 1 512byte block of disk 1, and (so far)...

I just add the overridedidflags0 somewhere, forget where though (and not at computer) worked fine for me w/ win 7 x64 RC. I seem to recall there being some lines in the inf file that indicated it removed the overridedidflags0 key, so I might have removed those too.

fix worked fine for me.

the other methods works great when you are encoding a single PGC. However, try encoding multiple PGCs with any encoder besides handbrake, as you move from PGC to PGC your audio will get out of sync. DVDs are not constant frame rate, and I believe there are "short" frames between the PGCs...

I have an unused 3ware pci-x 8 port sata card (9550SXU-8LP), if you're interested I can sell it pretty cheaply.

if you're going to transcore, use handbrake. why? It's one of the only (the only?) that supports variable frame rate encoding. what does this mean? most encoders basically encode video at a fixed rate. However, DVD video isn't fixed rate (while the audio is). What this means, its very very...

1) I haven't thought of the budget, its a budget system so cheaper is better. This isn't going to be a box that's used besides as a NAS type device. 1a) Generally buy parts where tax isn't an issue. 2) live in NY 3) the main Q was in regards to motherboard/cpu what do people...

I'm looking for recommendations for a low power (as in watts) build. Keeping my Quadcore/8800GT up 24/7 costs too much money :) any reccomendation. It's going to be used for a NAS box that I can leave up 24/7, so would be nice to keep it as low watts as possible. Basically, I probably...

fixed it. see possibly my issue http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=269047 and http://forums.nvidia.com/lofiversion/index.php?t58483.html not just me, and OverrideEdid fixed it (albiet vista64 complained on install due to I guess the change making the sigs fail, but as only...

argh, called BFG tech support, they said its a known problem with HDMI on vista. only up to nvidia to fix, detecting monitor as a TV instead of an LCD monitor and treating it differently. 7900 didn't have such support. Perhaps will be fixed in future release, reccomended use vga port.

select digital color format? It gives me two options RGB (set) and YcbCr444 (which is very very yellow)

also, everything looks great with the vga driver. Interestingly enough, on the 7900GS and with the vga driver on the 8800GT, the LCD detected the dvi->hdmi cable. It doesn't detect it with the nvidia driver on the 8800GT.

westinghouse lcd doesn't have dvi, just hdmi and vga.

monitor is the Westinghouse 24"

doubt its the cable, as plain vga drivers display fine. It does have an auto adjust mode, but only when it detects that its being used with dvi, which for some reason its not.

should note, it's deffinitely the drivers as plain jane vga driver works fine. also using dvi->hdmi cable.

I just upgraded from a 7900GS to an 8800GT and the display looks like crap, and I have no idea what the issue is. Same Vista x64, Same Forceware 175 drivers, same 24" 1920x1200 LCD (Westinghouse) ClearType on or off makes no difference. It's running at native res (1920x1200) so scaling...

Wondering if anyone has switched to hard drives for long term storage and what their setup is? With the price of hard drives falling, it seems to be a good value today and possibly more stable for long term storage. With optical media, its easy, if you want access to it, you just pop it into...

First PC we had was a TI 99-4/a. That hooked up to a tv monitor, but boy did I love munchman and parsec. That was my father's first PC, but became my PC when he bought a Panasonic 8086. I don't remember what the card was, but it was a VGA card in a Panasonic 8086, with dual floppy drives, a...

bump

just sata, I believe.

oh, and I'm really looking towards $200 + shipping, but on shipping I'd prefer if I stay out of it, you send me a label, I slap it on and drop it at a ups/fedex/usps place of business. That way you can get what's best for you and I wont be skimming any money.
