Think one of the Devs let it slip awhile back that it'd be 2-Seaters But we'd probably have an easier time getting info on the latest Area 51 Black Project than verifying this now

Found this on my system at support.dell http://support.dell....s.htm#wp1073386

I'd love to have one if you don't mind shipping to the US Happy to pay all charges Thanks for offering

Hope not, it'll ruin my already bad day Where is this mb int vid plug and what type cable does it generally accept?

Yes, other slot works better At least the fan turns on now But still getting the black screen Went through the troubleshooting it mentioned the motherboard's integtrated video adaptoro Stated if present, it must be turned off, but no details on how

Both 7900 cards were removed and the 9800 was installed alone Didn't know it mattered which slot though Should I try the other?

No worries, you efforts are much appreciated Yes, SP3 installed I swapped 1 of the old cards back in and she's working again

1. Yep, the new card has only a single power conn, tried both cables 2. Don't know here, but the single card from the SLI pair ran fine alone Thanks HPW

Things have been crazy busy this week so I had to set this down for awhile Back at it today and made some progress and a bit more frustration Made several RAM Tests BIOS WinSys 4.0---------2.5-----Original Configuration 2.0---------2.0-----Removed Old RAM and placed New RAM in original slots 3.0---------2.5-----Added Old RAM into 3rd Slot 4.0---------2.5-----Added 4th RAM back in 4.0---------2.5-----Downloaded MS.Net Framework and BIOS v.1.4.1 (verified update) 4.0---------3.0-----Removed 1 SLI Video Card Removed 2nd Video Card and installed new 9800 GTX+ Followed instructions to the "T" but the VC is Dead Fan doesn't even turn on Checked and rechecked installation but it's solid Please tell me there's something very stupidly easy I forgot!

OK, thanks guys! More than I'd thought there'd be Gives him something to work with Cheers,

Nice idea Creaghorn Would definitely notch up the immersion level

LOL! That was inspirational! Al, if he takes you to court and wins a new keyboard, I volunteer to pay all costs

Thanks guys, you're the best!

Gute suggestions How about Wheels from a Hay Wagon Cracked Struts, held together with Duct Tape and Rusty Machine Guns

It's tempting I came along too late for RB (just in time for OFF) But it's spoken about in such reverance I'd like to experience RB at some time With all the interest in WWI sims lately, I'm wondering if Mad Otter is testing the waters

Outstanding work there Lou! I'm sure this is what Herr Olham has always intended but just couldn't formulate One suggestion; please add some small maltese crosses around the cockpit to show his victory score

I love parties ...painting parties! Let us paint Herr Olham's beloved Albatross Pink!

Running around quite a bit so I haven't been able to pay as much attention I was on holiday last week so it was my only focus Not sure on the BIOS memory report I'll check the BIOS and do the memory swaps Only 1 graphics card but I'll made the swap I'd been planning too (9800 GTX+) ...SLI I'll updateb the BIOS if necessary I'm also leaning very heavily towards Win 7 Seems like MS got this one right and it should ease my problems Thanks,

Spotted this in one of the Post #43 Links 4745454b Thanks for all the help, I took out the old memory and just ran the 2 new ones like you said to, saw they were good. I then put all 4 in, updated my BIOS, then checked in BIOS, said I had Total Memory=3538944k=3.375G, and I am so ok with that. Again thanks for all the help. Have a good one. Looks like the BIOS Update, or some BIOS Update, solved the problem for this gentleman Think I've tried all suggestions so far -Updated SP3 Ran -CHKDSK/R -DxDiag -CPUz -memtest86 Looked for but couldn't spot any Bios memory options Anything else I've missed?

I'm not getting Blue Screens of Death or Crash to Desktop Bios is v. 1.10.1.1.0 I looked at the BIOS but there don't appear to be any memory options Checked the Dell site, here are the enhancements: - Fixed CMOS clear after AC and Battery loss. - Microcode updates. - Added support for new processors. - Fixed system hang with certain processors. - Fix for some USB devices. - Restore the 1394 GUID after a S3 resume. - New RAID ROM 9.83 - Fixed an issue with the NIC being disabled during POST. - Updated the expansion ROM Bar allocation code. - Removed the code that reinitializes the processor thread count. - Update to the EPP memory support. - Improvements to the s3 resume times. - Improved SATA Drive detection. - Updates to the PCIE configuration code. - Update to our internal USB diagnostics calling routine. Should I upgrade?

Here's what you're looking for For a short time Microsoft stopped producing cfs3 and licensed it to Ubisoft Ubisoft then made the only DVD version Microsoft then decided to resume production rights and returned to the original CD version Note the "PC/DVD ROM" and "Ubisoft" on this case Sorry, best picture I could find

Fired up memtest86 and let it run overnight Came up "Pass Complete No Errors" - 4 times Flbyby, No extra hardware around Only my laptop , now that's acting funky

Thanks Pol, No Floppy drive on board and I don't have access to an external off hand Win 7 is looking beter and better now LOL

CHKDSK finished and reported "1 or more problems corrected" Tried to install Pro after this and got the same failure Here's the PC info you need The CPUz image didn't attach well so I converted that to TXT too DxDiag 10-1-2.txt D7TZQNC1 10-1-02.txt

You're Aces Mr. Von P Really outstanding level of support and help you're giving me Greatly appreciated M8! I'll download the CPUz and memtest86 No more results likely today, this CHKDSK is really chugging (70% complete on step 4 out of 5?)
