AMD PII 955 BE
MSI 770 C45
OCZ 4G DDR3 1066Mhz
Samsung 1TB + 2T storage
Sapphire 5770
Xigmatex 500W
Win 7 HP

my specs as above. no OC.

one year ago, artifacts appeared ot of nowhere and somehow running stress test solved the problem until today.
the artifacts have appeared again and the stress test method don't work anymore.
so most likely I have to replace the GC.

any suggestion which I should go for?
only use for light online flash games and video conversion.

i lost track with best bang for buck.
hopefully within rm300?

Artifacts on screen

daron — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 22:15:13 +0800

AMD PII 955 BE
MSI 770 C45
OCZ 4G DDR3 1066Mhz
WD Black 1TB
Sapphire 5770
Xigmatex 500W

my specs as above. no OC.

Today out of sudden, artifacts are appearing all over the screen.
Tried restart, updating to latest firmware.. all not helping.

The weird thing is if you play games, the artifacts actually disappear and only reappear during loading or when you exit the game.

Is it my graphic card problem?

Thinking of buying ATI 7750 (i suppose my PSU can still support) temporarily to replace until I get a new rig. But obviously I am not sure and do not want to waste money.

HDD bad sectors

daron — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 08:57:49 +0800

guys,

recently my pc started acting strange. Couldn't complete download due to cyclic redundancy (I/O error). Then sometimes fails to boot up or go into Windows. Worse is my DVD ROM also affected.

Then i ran the CHKDSK and found 28 bad sectors. Now everything back to normal but i am not sure if it will last.

1) Should i be worried? Clone my HDD and back-up? Or do other diagnostics before panicking? Reading conflicting statements from Google..

2) MY HDD is WD Caviar Black 1TB. Bought in Nov 2009. I assume warranty is still valid but can i claim for bad sectors?

windows 7 freeze/hang

daron — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 08:57:29 +0800

I just bought a new PC using Win 7 Home Premium OEM.

AMD PII 955 BE
MSI 770 C45
OCZ 4G DDR3 1066Mhz
WD Black 1TB
Sapphire 5770
Xigmatex 500W
Logitech MK250 Combo mouse/keyboard
SMC WIFI adapter.

I am having random crashes while surfing, watching movies..
it just freeze / hang. everything stops there.
no mouse, Ctrl + Alt + Del, everything doesn't work.
it just stops at that screen. even the HDD indicator doesn't blink anymore.

i haven't installed anythin much except for drivers for WIFI, Firefox, SM Player.

any ideas?

(WTA) Help - where to find special paper types..

daron — Tue, 03 Jan 2006 11:24:34 +0800

moderators, I'm not sure if this is the board to ask this.. if not just move to the correct board..

I'm wondering where i could find different types of paper..
there used to be Paper Gallery in Jalan Hang Kasturi near Central Market... but apparently it's closed now..
I would greatly appreciate if someone knows places similar to the Paper Gallery or where they have moved to if they did?
Thanks..
