Maybe I could be more specific. My problem is that with the card installed my computer will only run display through the card and I can't find an option to change that. It's not auto-detecting which port the screen is plugged into either. If I insert the card, plug the monitor into the motherboard and turn the computer on the screen comes up blank. If I then move the monitor plug to the card my screen works. I've tried this multiple times. As far as selecting it in bios I poked around but didn't find anything though I may simply be looking in the wrong spot. Any idea what it would be labeled under? I'm using an ASUS H87 motherboard if that helps.

I was just gifted a GPU by a friend, a GeForce GT 630. A friend of a friend bought it and didn't use it, my friend didn't want it, but it's useful to me. It runs games worse than the default intel graphics I was running before, but it does allow me to practice CUDA programming. What I need is to force my rig to default back to intel graphics for now, but allow the card to be accessed for parallel processing. Any Ideas?

Ok, thanks for the info. It'll be a while before I can afford an SSD, but it's something to save up for thanks.

Let me ask you this. If you where building a machine on a budget with video recording and editing in mind, what storage option would you use?

benchmark says sequential write on the WD is slower than what I have. I know it's more dependable, but it's not like my work is worth thousands so no point in considering it. The HDD is new (2 months old) so where should I start looking for that expected extra speed.

I've heard of using an SSD as a cahce for a HDD, would this help or does that just benefit smaller or more frequently used files

Recently I built a computer, one of the components is a Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 hard drive. It is advertised as capable of 6Gb/s and the motherboard is also capable of 6Gb/s, but doing video editing it caps at about 100MB. Any ideas what's going on? is it a problem with the 64MB cache being too small? The driver was written in 2006, but it says it's up to date. Is there a cheap hardware upgrade I need or does it require an SSD to get more speed? I could really use the extra speed. The video editor is using about 1% cpu 10% memory and 98% Disk, and 20min to save a video edit is just far too long. Thanks for helping.

Got it The BIOS had a boot from USB option, but strangely recognized the USB as a second HDD.

So I have a used asus notebook, Something happened to the old HDD, so I'm trying to install a new one. Fortunately I can get a free OS through my school. Unfortunately The notebook isn't recognizing the boot stick I made. I have a PC and extra sata connections, so if it's possible to load anything to the notebook hard-drive through there. is there's a way to install the operating system directly to the hard drive, then reinsert the hard drive into the notebook? The PC is a 64-bit system, the notebook is 32. The OS on the old HDD was Windows 7 before it broke I'm trying to install 8.1.
