Not normally, but with your system anything is possible :P

The video drivers you're installing, are they the ones off the Cd or have you downloaded the latest and greates from ATI/AMD? In any event I'd suggets getting the latest from the web if you can.

my gfx card didn't come with any drivers, and I thought as my card is an Nvidia that AMD/Ati drivers wouldn't work? :p


I've tryed everything, seems like I'm just gonna have to put it in my attick, and forget I've just wasted nearly £1000. :(
 
Cheers mate.

I've got loads of revision to do for an exam tomorow and my guitar lesson, so I doubt I will be on tonight, though I might be later. But I'm pretty sure I'll be on tomorow night.

I could not get and futuremark things to work

I've ran the wd hdd test and it passed, and i've passed memtest86.

I've ran all the tests on orthos and prime95 foro a few hours each, and had no erros, until i did this test....

does this mean that the hdd is faulty or the ram?

Thanks
Yanto.
 
my vista install seems to be stable now, and I have ran every test I know of.

but when I install games or any apps, it keeps saying that the hdd has become corrupted, and error's reading the disk.

If anyone can help or offer some advise or something else to try that'd be great.

yanto :(
 
The information below is from the Western Digital website and it seems to suggest that your hard drive has a bad connection, or, your hard drive is defective.

135, DRQ Timeout, Timeout from checking Data ReQuest Timeout (DRQ) bit. The drive has not responded back in the time allotted. This may be due to a defect with the drive or a bad connection. Check cable & retest. Replace the drive if the error repeats.

Hope this helps!

What errors are you getting? And what happens when you try to run a game?

random erros really, random programs closing, corrupted files, dll errors, you name it, but i havn't had a bsod for a while.

also i noticed orthos didn't utilize all four core similtaneously? but only two? not sure if that's correct or not.

And I have tryed 4 gmas with it, firstly medieval total war 2, which installed but wouldn't play and had an error saying something about dx9 but i cnt remember it exactly. Then i tryed JTF which installed but had a corrupted error. AOE 3 wouldn't install because it isn't compatible with vista 64-bit it said. and then i tryed the UT3 demo but it wouldn't run after I installed it.
