I'm toying with the idea of adding internal USB ports into my case to plug wireless receivers into (either RF or Bluetooth) for a mouse/keyboard combo or maybe a Xbox controller.
I know that the case has a lot of interferance and can easily disrupt RF signals, but is this the same with...
Well, CHKDSK was a no-go. I tried out TestDisk. Found out that my boot record was good (well, that's a relief), but my MFT and MFT mirror are hosed. Is there a way to rebuild it, could going to a professional data recovery business help?
What I'm mainly worried about it what if chkdsk tries to read from the bad sectors at the beginning of the drive, and 'locking up' as it repeatedly tries to access the corrupted data like the various drive scanners that I've tried running on it do.
I haven't tried that yet, I've been reluctant to try anything large for feat that I may screw things up even worse. A friend reccomended that I try chkdsk with the /f and /r flags. How does that contrast with fxmbr and fixboot?
So after spending a day running spinrite on my drive, it found a huge number of bad sectors in the first 2.367 to 2.368 (around 20k) and took about 9 hours of scanning to get that far. I canceled the scan and restarted it at 3%, and after running for 2 hours or so it completed finding around 2k...
Earlier this evening, windows popped up a small warning in the system tray telling me that D:\????? was corrupt and to run chkdsk on it. I immediately quite what I was doing and opened the drive in under my computer, and after a couple minute wait it produced the first level of directory...
Thanks, I was thinking it would turn out to be something similar to that. Since my TV doesn't have a seperate audio in for HDMI, it looks like I'll be making a cable out of dvi/component and a minijack/rca converters with their respective cables.
I'm new to the whole area of interconnecting devices, so I'm not sure if this is an obvious/very basic question. It probably is though.
I recently assembled a new system with a 8800gts, and I'm thinking of using a DVI to HDMI converter to connect one of the DVI ports on the card to output...
That actually turns out to be my problem. The the beeping was caused by the FAN fail warning going off. It looks like even with speed control turned off, my fan (stock intel fan) is only spinning at about 1700 rpm. It's 1000 with speed control turned on.....:confused:
As an addendum, what...

Yes, that's the memory I have. Newegg was having a nice sale/rebate on it.
Still running the defaults. Didn't have time to get around to tweaking it.
I'm not sure which revision I'm running. It's not the 1.3 that supports 1333 FSB though.
I haven't updated the bios at...
Nope, haven't adjusted the memory voltage yet, just thought of that a earlier today. I've pretty much walked out of my range of tech knowledge when it comes to that.
I'm not sure if it's the memory or not (just going off of the beep codes) but I'll certainly try memtest out tonight...
No, I've got the cpu cooler hooked up to the cpu_fan connector, it's the sys_fan that I'm not using.
Right now I'm thinking that it could be that the specs for the memory say it's 1.9v, and checking the specs on the motherboard says the 965 only supports ddr2-800 at 1.8v. Could this be...
Hi everyone. I'm new to the forums and wasn't sure exactly where to post this, but dubing this the "Official Gigabyte P965-DS3" seemed to make it a pretty good option to get some help with a tech problem I'm having.
I chose the DS3 as the base for a new system assembly (my first by the way)...
