in the 90's when I setup computers, I would occasionally label the C: drive TOO LOUD - see screen shot. Apparently this generated a few support calls long after I had left. #SaturdayFF
Time Warner accidentally cut our cable Monday afternoon. Wish I knew which one is ours. 3 of the 6 are severed. Hopefully they will show up soon.

TW called to say they will be here soon.
- Mike Nencetti
It took them that long to come out after cutting them?

When you call they assume the problem is in the house. so I had to schedule 5 to 7pm today. They have not admitted to cutting the cables. My security camera saw their vehicle parked in front of our neighbors house Monday afternoon. They were doing something.

I've had similar problems with Comcast. And we have phone through them.

at 9am i received an automated call from TW, stating that the problem was fixed.The automated message tried to close the call so i hung up on. I was at work so I could not tell. I drove home at noon and it was not.

I wont pry too much into Whatever happened Monday, because I think my neighbor had her cable turned off. I have a 4G MIFI I can use in situations like this, well sometimes.

Cable is repaired. Yes it was accidentally cut yesterday. Tech never had to enter the house.

This low budget card has blue screened 2 OptiPlex 390 desktops. One Win7 - 32 and one Win7 - 64. Tried latest and previous drivers. Video card had worked fine in a Dell OptiPlex Gx620 for a few months. Spent time today with Dell support to try troubleshooting. Odd thing is it will blue screen on bootup, and then work fine the next boot. I have been working dual screen all after noon. So on my desktop once I get it booted up its fine.

I ordered an ATI Radeon HD 5450 card which I'll test on Thursday. Another low budget card.

funny note, my Windows Experience index went from 4.7 to 4.4 by disabling the onboard Intel video driver. I cant do dual screen on it unless one is HDMI, my monitors are VGA and DVI.
- Mike Nencetti
updated BIOS and tried every possible option.
- Mike Nencetti
the BSOD - "An attempt to reset the display driver and recover from timeout failed'. the stop code is 116, and driver is nvlddmkm.sys file date is 10/15/2011 This happens about 5 seconds after the windows startup screen goes away. the screen is black during those 5 seconds.
- Mike Nencetti
That's it for a few days. hopefully the ATI card will behave. I'll use the Nvidia for older computers.

I wish I could look it up but FF search isn't working. I think I had a similar experience with my 8300GS in September '09. The card was essentially dead, and did die in the middle of trying to fix it with driver changes. I relied on the integrated card until I got a replacement.

Thanks Jimminy! This card is currently working. It may just be incompatible with the new Dell.

Installed an ATI Radeon HD5450 - Currently using the drivers from the CD dated 10/1/2009. No blue screen on first boot. This card rocks in that the kit includes the 2 smaller face plates for this small form factor desktop that I have. I'll test it for a few days before I am sure - but it looks like this will be the card we use for any dual screen desktops.
