Cyberlink PowerDvd not supporting GTX275?

chumpchump81 — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 10:00:09 +0800

I am using Powerdvd 7.3 Ultra which came with my LG blu-ray drive.I was able to watch blu-ray with it.After upgrading the 'critical component' required by powerdvd when playin new titles,powerdvd could play any dvd or blu-rays.I had contacted Cyberlink for technical support.

They told me my graphic card GTX275 is not supported for this software.When I told them I also tried with another graphic card 8800GTX Ultra,they told me 8800 had some issues which their research team still solving.They recommend me to buy another graphic card!I wanted to know how many people out there with GTX275 can play the powerdvd without any problem?I think they are bull****!

GPU hardware error message code 43

chumpchump81 — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 00:49:17 +0800

Anyone had their OS fail to detect the GPU hardware?All you can do is to play some video and normal internet browsing.You cannot startup and PC games since the computer cannot detect the hardware GPU.

I checked the device manager and it came back with error code 43.I unplug and replug the GPU into my mobo.Uninstall and reinstall my GPU driver few times also doesn't solve this issue.

I turned off my PC for few hours and turn it back on,it seems like normal again before go unstable again and crashes within 10 minutes.

The screen capture of the error message is attached.

Now I am not sure it is software driver related issue or just faulty hardware.Btw I am using GTX8800 Ultra with a Vista OS.Thanks.

ftp server software recommendation

chumpchump81 — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 00:04:06 +0800

Hi guys....need some help to get a recommendation on any freeware software to be used as ftp server.I noticed most of the software despite saying free need to be paid to obtain the license in order to work properly as ftp server.

I need some help to recommend me some really 'free' ftp server software.My requirement for that software is to at least able to function as 'multiple time' something like GetRight software where you can upload and download some file from the ftp server for example till 40% then pause/stop it and able to be continued from the download/upload progress from 40% at later period.Does anyone have any recommendation for this kind of software?I would like to say thanks first foor helping out....

Anyone tried HD-DVD on Vista?

chumpchump81 — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 13:49:05 +0800

One month ago,I tried playing HD-DVD on my PC using Vista OS.I used 360 HD-DVD drive with ASUS 8800GTX and PowerDVD Ultra 7.3.The PC could detect the HD-DVD drive but when I insert the movie and play it,the movie did not start at all.

I tried my XP dual-boot,used the same 360 drive and the same PowerDVD but had no problem playing the movie.I am not sure what is wrong with Vista that it can't play HD-DVD but XP can.Has anyone exprience this before?

Need help on video playback problem

chumpchump81 — Sun, 11 Feb 2007 22:06:29 +0800

Need some feedback whether anyone encountering this problem.I am using Nvidia 6800 with 93.71 forceware as my driver.I had just acquire new BenQ 24" monitor F241W and I had connected this monitor to my pc using DVI cable.Using the native resolution of 1920x1200 with 60Hz refresh rate,initially no problem with browsing my avi or wmv files.

After quitting my games application,I noticed some problems when I play video files or watching dvds.The video does not display much as the whole screen darkens which more or less distorted the whole video display while the audio was playing normally.I can't play any videos properly until I have to wait for about at least 1-2 hours before my video could playback normally.Another way to encounter this problem is to change my resolution before changing it back to the original resolution.

For now I believe this should be my graphic cards problem playing with the native resolution of 1920x1200 as this only happens when I did some application that changes my resolution.Is there any way to solve it permanently or has anyone encounter similiar problem?

Need some opinion on PSU problem

chumpchump81 — Sat, 12 Aug 2006 18:54:43 +0800

I had just bought a PSU Power Logic Magnum 450 which supplies minimum 450 Watt till maximum 900 Watt.As for my opinion,I think it is alright to get a PSU to overpower your PC than underpowering it.When I installed my PSU onto my PC,the first thing it happens when I turned it on was the cables connecting to my floppy drive got burnt with heavy smoke coming from it.I installed my old PSU back onto my PC but the PC won't boot up until I removed the connection to my floppy drive then it will work.So I just need to get some opinion whether could the cause be from the PSU defect or is the PSU is too powerful that it ends up burning my floppy drive?
