Windows 10 Upgrade broke my Samsung 850 Pro SSD?

Sorry should've been more clear. The USB2.0/3.0 to SATA adapters were on a separate computer running Windows and also tried it in ubuntu. Any other ideas?

Windows 10 Upgrade broke my Samsung 850 Pro SSD?

Hello, I recently upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. I followed the standard Windows upgrade procedure and left the machine to upgrade. When I got back, I got UEFI boot error and could not boot back into Windows. My SSD doesn't show up in the UEFI manager. I've tried two USB3.0->Sata...

Is there a way to override default sampling rates in Windows 8.1?

Hi, I switch between two machines for work and home use and use a USB switch to change my peripherals (mouse, keyboard, external DAC). The problem I run into is that I want to run my DAC at 24 Bit 96kHz sampling rate in Windows but every time I switch between PC's and it disconnects my DAC...

Bottom lid of laptop shorting motherboard and can't power on

Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone can weigh in on some advice here. I have a Asus UX31 ultrabook with an all metal shell. I noticed it wouldn't turn on yesterday and so I opened it and tried disconnecting the battery then turning it back on. It turned back on, but then when I put the bottom...

Looking for a bluetooth receiver that can output headset audio

Hello, I want to be able to pair a bluetooth headset with my work phone. My phone has a proprietary connector, but I know which pins are mic/headset. So basically I need a bluetooth receiver that relays mic (output) and audio (input). Does anyone know if this type of device exists?

Quitting my job this week. What to do about the 401k

Hi all, I've done some googling, but would like the AT opinions about my situation. I'm 25, worked at my current company for about 2.5 years and have about $23,000 in my 401k (9% pre-tax, 6% roth, 6% company match). It's been up about 15% in the last year. It's a lifecycle 2050 fidelity fund...

ººººº--§§§§§§§--The Freebies thread--§§§§§§§--ººººº Part 0b110 (six).

It's really coincidental that I just happened to come to AT forums today (for the first time in about a year or so) to look for a hard drive for my Acer 1810T which i dropped a couple of weeksago (which ended up breaking the display cable and damaged the hard drive). PM me and we can either work...

Dropped laptop -- White Screen on bootup, am I SOL?

I have had an ACER 1810T for the past few years and while I was sitting someone stepped on my cord and the laptop came out of my lap and fell on the floor. When I boot up, the ACER splash screen doesn't show up and the screen is completely white. I don't think it is the hard drive, anyone have...

Will I see a substantial upgrade with a new soundcard (Barracuda AC-1)?

Hello, I just got some M-Audio BX5A's and really like them. Major upgrade from my Z-5500 I had before. Anyhow, I'm wondering if my 5 year old Razer Barracuda AC-1 is limiting the potential of these speakers. What would be a reasonable upgrade? Budget is <$100, but could be higher if need be...

Portable MP3 Player with A2DP?

Hello, I destroyed my ipod nano 4g recently and would like to reduce my apple dependence. I tried using my Evo 3d in the gym and running but it didn't work out. I'd like something as small as the ipod nano, 16gb or higher, A2DP support, and video support would be nice but not required. Any...

Anyone ever been to Negril?

24 yr old male planning on going to jamaica in a few weeks and looking for a place to stay. Are the all inclusive places worth it? I want to be around people my age and don't mind the party atmosphere, but not sure I can justify paying $250-300 extra per night. Also what's the best way to get...

Desktop 2.0 speakers $100-$150 budget

Any suggestions? I do not have room for a sub and do not want a sub. I'd like some decent sized bookshelf/desktop speakers (no larger than say the Polk Monitor 30 I have in my home theater setup). Any suggestions? They do not have to be powered. They will only be used for listening to music and...

My $50 audio setup, what levels are safe to run at?

Hello, A friend of mine sold me two of his z-5500 sattelite speakers for $20. They're THX certified and the Z-5500 specs say they're 8 Ohm and rated for 61W RMS. I assume that is not a continuous figure; however, I also purchased...
