Hi there
great forum. i just built my first ever PC. an ambitious project since this is a super PC for a recording studio and will have heavy demands on it for audio and video. that being said it is also very stripped down, no anti virus, no OFFICE, no extra siftware then the essentials for the OS and the programs
ok specs
ANTEC 4U 550 W rack case
ASUS P5B- Extreme MoBo
4 gig Crucial DDR2 800 1 gig sticks each
160 gig seagate HD 7200 rpm
320 gig Seagate Audio HD 7200 RPM
Samsung DVD RW 18x
XP home
Nero essentials
ASUS utilities loaded
thats where it sits now
i also tweaked the MoBo for silent run on the fans (although its still to noisy but i will get to that later)
ok the issues
when i finished it it booted right up and i installed XP home and then did the windows updates, i thne updated the BIOS, so those are current. this PC does NOT sit on the internet. i also tweaked th BIOS for the fans to run silent
ok, the mouse drifts all over the place, it is a llaser one and older, so i am going to get a new one and a new pad and load the latest drivers. it would not double click and i had to right click to open stuff, very weird and fluttery
also when i would open a window it would flicker, not the screen just that window, it would go blue like it was highlightedd and then gray and then blink blink and stuff. very strange
and thats where i am now
the video card is a NVIDIA, Quadro 550 128 mef card and i downloaded and loaded its latest drivers also
so any ideas on
1) drifting weird mouse?
2) flickering windows opened??
3) fan noise? i need this to be SILENT so i can record with it in the same room as acoustic instruments and mics
thanks for the help
