It is funny, but I have spoken to someone else before about this. I do software development, and someone told me that the pharmacy where he buys his meds uses an old computer system, and he saw another POS type of program I developed for someone else. So I do think it is a good idea, did not say it ...

I suppose the older gamers will remeber the game Wolfenstein ET. There was a SA server created recently for anyone that wants to join us. Feel free to join our forums on http://wolfetza.webs.com or our server on 197.221.19.58 We are currently running a NoQuarter server with XPSAVE and players are en...

If it is say a power problem, will it help if I unplug my spare HHD that I do not use?

The mobo is 2 years old, no rust, Im from JHB

It is my back ports. I have 6 ports at the back grouped in pairs. When I plug the modem of flash drive into the ports that is not working, nothing comes up on the device manager. There is no exclamation marks. It is if the device manager is not even detecting that something is plugged into that port...

I have 2 usb ports on my pc that has just stopped working. Well they actually work when I plug a usb mouse or keyboard into it, but refuses to work with my usb modem or flash drive. The modem and flash drive works in other ports but not in the two mention. I have not installed any new hardware of so...

I will look around for such a fan. I agree it is not Matrix fault for the gfx card being faulty. I have bought some decent parts there in the past and this was the first product that I got there, that has been faulty. But I will stay far away from Forsa in the future and make sure I warn anyone, thi...

Yes that is my gfx card, a piece of crap if you ask me. I will never buy a Forsa card again

Well I already killed the warranty by making a little hole in the one blade of the fan, to add a little copper ball made of copper wire to add some weight to the fan. I saw that if you add some weight to the one side it spins fine for now. I know it is going to die soon, and I'm looking for an old c...

My Control panel does not look like that at all. I don't find any setting for the fan. I downloaded the MSI Afterburn to set the fan speed

Thanks i will be looking at the NVidia control panel right away, as for the making a cone and directing the airflow onto the gpu, I already working on the cone

Well I'm already trying to figure out how I'm going to mount a 120mm fan in the case, so that it can blow directly onto the gpu. I played around with the gpu fan, since it is already faulty and saw that if a put something on the fan, I used prestic, the fan actually spins normally. The problem with ...

Can you replace the fan on the gpu with a new one, or a better faster one. Are the fan and heatsink holes than a standard size, almost like the cpu fans?

I saw the fan on the card is hardly spinning, I used the msi afterburn and set the fan speed to 90%, but the fan spins very slow. When I tick the fan it spins fast for about 2 seconds and then slows down again

I will see what I can do, but just by looking at it, I doubt the fan will fit on the card

How do I put a 120mm fan on the card, I have 2 such cards in my case and if I could get one onto the card I would do it now. Please some advice

In the NVidia control panel, there is no option to control the speed of the fan, it does not even say what the fan speed is. Will try the afterburn. I just checked with gpu-z and my temp was 86C

I have a NVidia GT430 and it is made by Forsa, yes I know it is crap... and yes I bought it at the crap shop, sorry I mean Matrix. Does the NVidia software have utilities to set the fan speed

Yes, I just switch the power off at the psu and when I switch it on again, there is no problem. Yes I'm using the monitor speakers. I opened the case and checked the graphics card fan, it hardly spins. Can that be the problem? Is there any software that I can get to control my gpu fan?

No I doubt if it can be heating, as the pc is not even a month old, and I have a i3 cpu, and I can't see that FIFA10 can stress it enough so that it can overheat. Plus the pc does not shut down, it is still running, but the screen is blank, it says it lost the signal, and the sound is gone, but the ...

I have a problem that has only recently started occuring. While playing games, for example while I play fifa10 my pc just crashes. The screen goes blank as if the pc is turned off, but the machine does not go off. The fans are still spinning and I can also see on the hhd LED that is is still reading...

Cool guys let me check what I can do

Where do I get the 64-Windows drivers at the MSI site?

MSI H55M-P31

It only has one. I can't see why it will be the slot as it works fine in my other OS. It is just in the 64-bit where it does not see the card.
