    PC boots very slow after installing Win 7 64bit

    I have the following config AMD FX 6100 MSI 970A-G46 Corsair 8GB DDR3 single chip Couple of Seagate SATA HDDs. Initially I had installed Win7 32 bit and Win 8 and both were booting real fast. I am not a fan of WIn 8, so wanted Win 7, since the 32bit was recognising my 8GB ram as 2 GB, i...

    CPU/Mobo How long did you CPU last and what are the tips to increase life.

    WoW!! That is pretty impressive. The CPUs generally don't conk without a reason, the MB is the main cause for such a thing. It is usually the MB that cannot keep up with the CPU and conks earlier and finding a new board is very very hard. My first CPU was a P-II 350 MHz which lasted till I...

    FS: Home Audio Video Tata sky HD+

    I am very sure that you cannot SELL your STB since it is the property of TATA Sky. Hence, the account cannot be transferred.

    Airtel D2H dept flip flops and threats

    Yes, the STB is the DTH provider's property. The initial amount we pay go towards 'unreasonable' initial payment/service charges. When you discontinue with one DTH operator, you have to surrender the equipment, according to their one sided laws which our Govt has turned a blind eye to. Also...

    Graphic Cards HELP !! No display after installing HD5450 2GB GPU

    First off, I've been an AMDian for the last 12 years. Second, this is my first upgrade in almost 7 years, have watched and waited the dual cores and C2Ds etc. So what I buy now should not get outdated or too slow for another 6-8 years. My kids play some games and as they grow they will be...

    Graphic Cards HELP !! No display after installing HD5450 2GB GPU

    Yeah, I thought so too. So, after much deliberation, decided to give up my old system and upgrade to AMD FX6100, MSI 970A-G46 Motherboard with Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8 GB (single chip). This is an upgrade after 2005, well worth it, I guess. Any thoughts ?

    Graphic Cards HELP !! No display after installing HD5450 2GB GPU

    Alpha, no luck. MB BIOS and drivers are up to date, even tried uninstalling the display drivers and installing, no luck. As soon as I switch on the comp, there is a consistent pattern of HDD LED blinking, I left it on for 30 mins hoping something will happen, nope. I take it out and put my old...

    Graphic Cards HELP !! No display after installing HD5450 2GB GPU

    Correct. Right now I am on that system with the old GPU. That is one thing I am gonna try out soon. But this card is not drastically different from my earlier HD4350. I got this only for its HDMI option. Done that several times Sauron. Done that too artattak, that was the first thing I...

    Query For DealExtreme

    My experience with dealextreme has been pretty much extreme. Though I bought only low value items, the first time 2 out of the 3 I ordered were absolute crap while the 3rd worked well for a few months. The second time and the last time was very recently and 1 item was worth it while the 2nd was...

    Graphic Cards HELP !! No display after installing HD5450 2GB GPU

    Alpha, thanks. All cables and connectors are secure, the RAM module is seated fine too. Yes, the fans spin and even there is some HDD activity as well, but there is no beep or beep beep beep. When I put back my earlier GPU, everything is fine and the system boots flawlessly.

    Graphic Cards HELP !! No display after installing HD5450 2GB GPU

    Guys, here is the issue. I was running the HD4350 on my system (AMD Athlon 3500+/1 GB DDR/MSI RS482M4) without any problems. Since I upgraded my monitor to a Acer 24" LCD with HDMI, I thought I would also upgrade my GPU to one with HDMI. Hence bought the HD5450 2GB model from Flipkart and...
