hi guys today we finally bit the bullet and built our new i3 530 based htpc as out old one is getting a little old in the tooth everything went really well until we opened windows media center now we have a thin white line about 2 pixels wide down the right side of our TV we don't have this problem with our old build i think that it has something to do with the igp because when we put our old video card g210 the picture is perfect but i cant see any settings in the Intel control panel thingy this is really killing the waf any help appreciated

We have a similar problem on our system (Intel DH55TC board, i3 CPU). IIRC the line only shows up when Windows Media Center has been running and has played something. Rebooting gets rid of the line.

It hasn't bothered us enough for me to get around to finding a solution, however. I may have a play around this weekend if I have time and see if I can resolve it.

Ha, this must be quite a common thing! I too get a white line, but luckily only on the boot screen - ok once windows gui is running.

Looks like a known problem, I'll try installing the hotfix this weekend to see if it fixes it for me.

I'll confirm my experience. I have just installed the hotfix I posted above and it seems to have solved the issue for me.
