I have had the worst luck building this Mythtv box. 1 dead mobo and 1 dead video card (after 1 week). But to the point. I got a replacement video card in just in time to try R5D1. Its a MSI FX 5200. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814127181 When I try to output video to the TV with S-Video it is in black and white and kind of grainy. This shocked me at first because with the previous Roswell FX 5200 it just worked (no X config at all). The problem appears even in POST with the BIOS. I have gone through google and others have reported this problem but they are all software related. I have tried two different S-Video cords. I figured with this card being so highly recommended for this setup that others may have had this problem. Is there anything else to try or am I looking at yet another RMA to Newegg.com? If so should I try another MSI (was it just bad luck) or go with another brand (is this MSI related)? Thank you, Chance |

If you are seeing this problem at POST, then it is hardware. This is not a very common problem, but it does occur ocasionally. You can find at least one example of this on this forum if you look. I think it was back in February. Get newegg to send you another one. mike |
