    Fan in workstation Making loud noise

    I know exactly which fan is making noise. It is not CPU fan. Second, this fan spins at 2 to 3 times the usual speed when it runs almost silent & barely throws air that you feel. I have been running the system with one card & 4 monitors today & so far it has been running with no noise for about...

    Fan in workstation Making loud noise

    Hi again, I forgot to mention that I am running 12 monitors using 3 ATI Fire Pro 2460 Video cards each running 4 monitors. It ran fine for 2-3 Hours and now same problem. Hard drives have casing so that might not be a problem. Since the fan is throwing the air directly on video cards, I took...

    New AMD FirePro Graphics Card keeps crashing

    Just got another ATI FirePro 2460 with GDDR5 & have replaced the previous GDDR5 card which was crashing.

    New AMD FirePro Graphics Card keeps crashing

    For some reason newer versions of snagit ( 2015 onwards ) are having problems with multi monitors. I am not able to capture random monitor screens that I can with older versions. I tried hard but no luck. I really appreciate your continuous effort with new suggestions.

    New AMD FirePro Graphics Card keeps crashing

    I agree that I have been having hardware problems & they all started after my warranty expired & system worked flawlessly for 5 years. But I don't think I created any of the problems I described.

    Really appreciate the offer. I was going to get the new system when warranty n this m/c expired in April this year. But I was encouraged by some on this forum that these workstations ( Dell T-7500 ) could last as much as 10 years & mine was only 5 years old. But unfortunately all of my...

    New AMD FirePro Graphics Card keeps crashing

    New AMD FirePro Graphics Card keeps crashing

    Pluggable has some limitations. Max Resolution is limited to 1080p. My monitors are 24 inch & cards give 1920x1200 which is better for me. I don't think their setup & hardware can run 12, 24 inch monitors.

    Not defending the brand but I did research on multi monitor systems & many vendors supplying M-M systems especially for traders used this particular card which AMD says is designed for Financial traders, My first 3 cards lasted for full 5 years without any problems running 12, 24 inch monitors.
