    I don't know what's going on. I've owned a dv9000t for over 2 months and it's been working perfectly for a very long time (if you're a dv9000t owner, google the pacific breeze cooler, it gets rid of over 10 degrees celsius :D )

    However, recently, I've been having strange problems. WMV files don't play right and counter strike source only plays in 2 resolutions. WMV files used to work perfectly and i used to be able to play source in everything from 800X600 to 1650X_.

    I've reinstalled drivers, reinstalled windows media player, reinstalled source, removed overclocks...

    I really don't know what to do now.

    Here's a pic of the problem:

    wtf is right.. I have no idea what any of that is... I've had a problem somewhat similar to that b4 but that was caused by a severe underclock. My suggestion would be to look at things such as overclock/underclock settings, voltage settings, and driver problems.

    Usually in situations like this I'd also usually reformat quickity split. Reformatting computers make them happy and smily. ;)

    Good Luck!
