Thanks. I've been thinking doing an updated version when I get around to creating a Windows 7 virtual machine. I use Windows 8.1 now, which as far as I know, you can't change the boot logo/screen quite as easily. I have the logos and such. I'm using an AMD FX-8320 overclocked to 4.4GHz and a HD7950--hoping to get a R9 280 (which I could crossfire with the 7950) or R9 280X soon since the prices have dropped (AMD dropped the prices because of Bitcoin mining).

Thats alright and yeah 280X is dirt cheap right now (Considering how expensive they were when 7970)
But there is a catch, probably Windows has released an update for not allowing users to update their boot logos, so now think we are out of luck

Actually, I used Photoshop CS5.1 and Sony Vegas Pro 11 to make this as well as a few other boot screens at the time. I don't know how to use After Effects, so I try to improve my skills in software that I do know.

I'd probably have to make a tutorial. The way I make my boot screens is completely my own idea combined with years of experience with Sony Vegas Pro and Photoshop, and I didn't use any tutorials or anything to make it. ^.^

OK, if you make any tutorial, share it

I'm learning Photoshop and more...

Thanks. I've been working on an AMD Vision boot screen (using the logo) so when it gets around to being released - I'll let you know (or this will be updated).

I don't think it can be done from within the updater - I think it's more to do with the developer end. Unfortunately, I deleted the project files a long time ago now, so there's no way of fixing it.

I'll have to see about making a AMD Vision boot (no promises).

Oh, would be nice, but not a necessity I just wondered if i could get the AMD logo in correct aspect, thanks though

Thanks. My first PC was an AMD/nVidia PC, my second was a Intel/ATi and last November when I wanted to upgrade from a Core2Duo to something with more power for editing and gaming - AMD was a no brainer, so I switched back. I think I'll be staying with AMD for a while.

I'll considering making another version soon that's more animated. I didn't want to over-animate this one.

As far as I'm aware, there are no tools to change the boot screen for Windows 8 - I imagine someone will make a tool like for Windows 7 once Windows 8 is out officially (probably late this year or early next year).

Same here, loving AMD. I switched over from Intel, November of last year (going from a Core2Duo to a Phenom II x6 1090T BE). I switched over to ATi/AMD video cards back in 2009 when I needed an upgrade to play Batman: AA.

I don't think I'll ever go back to Intel/nVidia.

How well does that perform? I've often thought about building a HTPC with a A8 series APU, but you can hardly trust benchmarks when they're more synthetic than real world.

Bitech In reply to LordReserei [2012-06-18 03:13:24 +0000 UTC]

Sorry I never go on DA so I apologize for the late reply

The A8 is an amazing chip. Quad-core, light on the battery life, and for gaming: I can play Portal 2 on all maximum settings and experience only a few slowdowns.

The processing power is mediocre at best though, not as good as an i5 but still good for me. It's also easily overclockable with k10stat (yes I'm talking about overcocking on a laptop here), up to 3.0 GHz at max voltage (with new thermal paste the max temperature is 80-81 C)

The definition of an HTPC is really vague to me I honestly don't know what people want to do on their HTPCs outside of watching movies and stuff, games?

LordReserei In reply to Bitech [2012-06-18 04:45:41 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. Well I wouldn't be gaming on the HTPC - the point of it is to have something that has low power consumption, low heat and is quiet while having the necessary processing power to playback HD content whether over a network or using internal storage.

So an AMD A8 series APU is pretty much something desired by a lot of people where that is concerned, especially with the integrated GPU which means form factors can be smaller.

I'm looking to put together something along the lines of;

- Windows 7 Lite (personal build, RT Se7en Lite)
- ASUS F1A75-M AMD Hudson D3 (Socket FM1)
- AMD A8-3870 (with HD6550D)
- 8GB DDR3 1333MHz(have two modules laying around)
- Kingston SSDNow V100 64GB (upgrading to a 120GB SSD soon, recycle my current one)
- Cooler Master Elite 360 HTPC Case
- Generic 500W PSU

I wouldn't bother with an optical drive. Everything would be streamed over my network, from a thumb drive or on the SSD.

I've had that issue before. I was never able to find a solution although at one point I did send a message to the developer who stated it was a bug of some sorts.

After re-installing Windows (I needed to for an unrelated reason), I was able to to use it.
