Maybe try pulling the CMOS battery out of the motherboard, give it a little spray with some cleaner, pop it back in, and then see if the graphics card behaves.
Download EaseUS Partition Master and you can just shave at least 10 GB—or honestly, way more if you want—off your D drive and merge it directly into your C drive manually .
Honestly, 20GB isn't much. Once you start installing all those mandatory background apps and bloatware that always seem to hitch a ride on your system, you’ll burn through that space before you know it. What's the plan then? Maybe try shrinking another partition by at least 10GB if you can. During a Windows installation, the other partitions shouldn't be touched.
Which motherboard manufacturer and model are we talking about here? Also, what's the deal with the Device Manager—are you seeing any yellow exclamation marks?
I'm assuming I'm not the first person to try something like this, but since nobody's chiming in to clarify, maybe you could shed some light on whether this kind of connection actually works or if it's just a dead end.
Gary Thompson742 said:What kind of output does the digital tuner actually have?
I just pulled up the eBay link, so I’m assuming you're looking at a composite output. If that's the case, I don't really see why the setup mentioned above wouldn't work, provided you connect the tuner directly to the TV.
But he wants to hook a TV receiver up to a computer monitor, according to his first post, so I'm not sure what a standard digital tuner has to do with that. sk0ls@: Could you clarify exactly what you're trying to do? Give us the manufacturer and the specific model of the TV.
With the link you posted above, the answer is NO. I mean, where are you actually getting your TV signal from? Is it straight from a local broadcast tower or through a cable provider like Comcast?
Regarding what you suggested, there’s a similar thread involving issues (an OCZ ModXStream-PRO 500W paired with a GTX560) that might be worth looking into.
