Dear P4 bros,

i just purchase an HIS X1300 pro 256mb/128bits for my little 4yo rig. I;m on P4P800 but it seem that i get out of sync a.k.a black screen when i boot up. Is the mobo not suit with the card? I saw someone with same spec in this v1 thread too.

Hope those with experience can help a bit. ^^

during BIOS post or during loading into windows? if during starting up windows (log-in part), then most likely is refresh rate issue.

if that is the case, reboot in safe mode and remove the drivers. Then reinstall them to let the driver detect your monitor refresh rate. good luck.

@TakeshirO
What type of monitor are u using atm? Well, got this kind of problem before where the source of the problem were the refresh rate as what edmin has pointed out. Uninstall the driver at safe mode and try to obtained an older version of driver.

Thanks for the help. im using samsung CRT type... 3yo i think.

It is during loading window (laoding bar) then blank! Ok i try to uninstall and see what happen.

@TakeshirO
Yea. Its like after the windows is finish loaded but yet get into welcome screen right? High chance is caused by the refresh rate.

boot to safe mode, then set to some common resolutions like 800x600, and 60Hz, then restart...

hope it helps..

i assumed that you set high resolution + incompatible refresh rates after you got the card , making it like this

do as per above

safe mode cannot adjust resolution since during safe mode, your are in low res mode already

Worse comes to worst jus format the whole thing

well that's the last resort if really cant get things right.
my uncle formats his pc everytime he changes hardware, espcially those that require driver installation etc.. he doesnt change hardware frequently, so it's pretty ok. this is to avoid any driver conflict or problems i guess.

Yup,totally agree.The drivers will crash sometimes if you remove any hardware.Wosrt case is only format.

Haha.. Well.. CRT user need to be caution whenever comes to display card driver. Nowadays those driver are not so friendly to CRT monitor already as the refreshing rate were slightly draw higher, it might cause problem of monitor blank out after new driver is in.

P/s: Just got myself a DFI Infinity P965-S Dark mobo for RM200 as backup board. Going to sent my DS3R out for RMA due lan port been strike by thunder.

norton ghost

acronis

Can norton ghost support RAID recovery? AFAIK, acronis can. But ain't sure about norton.

what do u mean by RAID recovery?

two hard disks (on raid) which was logically recognized as 1, being imaged by acronis ?
