Got a IC7-G with a Leadtek FX5900 and Bluetooth Mouse, consistent noise from the card!!!! when using the wheel on the mouse, IRQ's were at 16 for mouse and USB, fixed that but no joy. Doesn't happen until you install the detonators though.

If anyone has the same problem.......?

Whose make of card are u using, various problems with MSI FX5900 & Ultras have been reported on their forums, the general fix/workaround seems to be use AGP @ 4X as their is an issue with using AGP 8X on the FX5900 GPU?

Dont really know if this is relevent to your problem, but just a thought

Update - read this thread at MSI forums http://www.msi.com.tw/program/e_service/...568d7eee98 seems it is a general FX5900 GPU pronlem which nVidia is looking into...!

All I can say is - egg on face nVidia! :oops:

LoL

you ATI boys are one to talk when it comes to driver problems,
any nvidia haters posting in here, will have posts deleted

Break Yo Self Foo

Good one nike, perhaps i'll post some threads from other foroums with all the probs peeps experience with ATi cards on different systems and with drivers..!

as for my FX5900 ULTRA its gone back for replacement...Why cos it came with the reference nVidia heatsink and as my supplier had qouted to supply the one with the twin flow cooling system/red pcb and the board was faulty (cracked PCB as identifird by the supplier) so they agreed to replace it straight away.

The knockers ought to take a look around other forums ad will see that many peeps are gettin these cards and are well pleased and i,pressed with the performabce..!

Well, we really don't have too many driver problems anymore, just, for example, the fact that my Radeon 9700 All in wonder didn't work with my Abit KX7, necessitating the purchase of hundreds of dollars more in parts : \

But hey, the performance is worth it ; )

glowworm...
I was not aware corsair had 3200 with that latency, the lowest i've seen is their LL modules which are 2-3-2-6

They dont, its what i set it to in the BIOS under expert settings and upping the voltage to 1.8 gives stability - had it runnin like this for 3 months with no problems.

ah, gotcha

Oh and before any one suggests that this may be causing the problem with the FX, i set everythong back to default on installation of any new hardware.

Interestlingly i have been getting some responses from other forums and those with FX5900 ULTRAs by Creative & Gainward all are statin they dont have problems with AGP 8X or the noise thing.

Also got a PM from a guy with the same MSi card and he had exactley the same problem with screen corruption so its starting to look like MSI are shipping out duff cards? ..also ther tech support are reluctant to respond to my polite emails outlining the problem...!

I think that the problem is in MSI cards. It is not nVidia's fault.

I'd agree with you on that, card went straight back and the supplier replaced wit Gainward FX5900U which has been runnin like a dream

When I purchase a product, I dont expect to have to sink a crap load of money into my computer to get it to work!
