Windows 7 59Hz Problem&Fix

Alright, you might be suffer from stupid 59Hz screen resolution stuck in Windows 7. I'm not sure if Microsoft publish a workaround or fix for this but there is a solution if you use Nvidia Control Center.

Usually 60Hz screen resolution is the default value for many CRT/LCD monitors. In Windows 7 it is 59Hz because of a calculation difference. It is ok if you don't care seeing 59Hz instead of 60Hz. However if you're a gamer this might be a nightmare cause many games doesn't activate VSync below 60Hz. So what you gonna do?

First you need to change your resolution value 1024*768 or below (this is a temp value, not the fix itself, no worries)

Then you need to delete 1920-1200 default settings in Nvidia Control Center, after that create your own with the same values but this time set 60Hz for Refresh rate. Set it as your default screen resolution. That should be fix your problem. However i have to admit sometimes it doesn't fit well and 59Hz value stays. Try the procedure couple of time and it should be ok one of them (i cannot give an exact number, and i know this is silly)

I hope find it usefull

OCZ Reaper 1066 2*2+1*2GB Config on Asus P5Q Pro

This is something different, i usually doesn't give tips about the problem that i couldn't solve however this time there is only one workaround which satisfies my needs (oh yeah i can be satisfied sometimes :))

It was one month ago i decided to upgrade Windows 7 (actually i tried to install a full virtual environment), and i bought 2*2GB OCZ DDR2 1066 RAMs as an addition to my 1*2GB OCZ DDr2 1066 RAMs. However i didn't calculate there is some bus values different and this kind of 2 dual kits configuration does not work well (according to OCZ tech guys). My 6GB giant cannot work on 1066MHz of speed however MHz is quite stable.

By the way MemTest gives couple of errors when i run basic test however i couldn't see any side effect until now (if i have problem you probably hear about it). My mobo is Asus P5Q Pro and it has the lastest 2102 firmware.

OCZ technical support gave me some values for optimum performance however it didn't work for me in 1066Mhz, maybe it is compatible with your configuration.

6-6-6-20 (CAS,tRCD,tRP,tRAS) Command rate of 2t 2.1-2.2 Volts

I hope you find it usefull

Long Time, No Posts

I realize it's been a long time since i wrote in here cause i've been so busy with my new job. I'm doing something different now i'm quite happy with.

I know i've never open myself in public especially in the net, all my posts are about technology, problems, fixes and so. I' ll follow technology as my passion and i will share with you what i find out, but it will be a little bit different. Cause i don't have enough equipments, gear and stuff. All i have my passion, enthusiasm, Mayhem and good old friend Sinatra right now.

Mayhem has new abilities, heart and brain. I could say, i broke some old habits of my own these days.

I have couple of solutions in my head about Windows 7 (yeah i know that's so lame to give solutions about Windows), and brand new thing about fixing my cell phone (i've never fixed such a tiny device before, i couldn't save it anyway :))

I also have couple words about our old Asterisk.

Please stay tuned.

I'll keep you posted

Cheers
