Bizarre Reboot Issue

It's a fairly new i7-7700 system, and the problem has been there ever since I bought it (though strangely it has occasionally gone for extremely long stretches of time, like as long as a month or so, without the issue happening). The PSU I replaced the original with is a new Corsair, which...

Bizarre Reboot Issue

I didn't see anything in the BIOS about offset voltage, but I did see options for C-states (i.e. power saving) so I disabled it. After Googling a bit about C-states I found others had the EXACT same issue. Won't know for sure for a while if it worked but I'm pretty optimistic that it did the trick!

Bizarre Reboot Issue

Having a really bizarre issue with random reboots. Basically my PC is rebooting semi-randomly, but the behavior is completely the opposite of what would typically be expected: when playing games which stress the system under heavy load it never reboots, but when the system is completely idle it...

Running 12v Fan @ 24 Volts?

Well, the mosquito trap will be outdoors, so noise won't really be issue. And the fan in the trap died, and I just happen to have a spare Panaflo H1A, so if it will work (and possibly be more powerful than the old fan) I'd like to replace it with the Panaflo. My main concern is making...

Running 12v Fan @ 24 Volts?

Does anyone have experience with running 12v case fans at 24v for extended periods of time? The only thing I was able to find on the subject was this article, which shows that it can be done, but doesn't say anything about long-term repercussions: http://www.afrotechmods.com/fanmod.htm...

Major System Slowdown w/Minimal CPU & RAM Usage?

I'm encountering a bizarre problem with a particular application. I can provide more specifics if need be, but right now I'm just trying to understand how this is even theoretically possible, so I'll just phrase this question in more general terms: How is it possible for a piece of software...

Hosting Azureus Torrent: Losing Network Connections!

I've been having a strange problem ever since I started hosting a torrent with Azureus for the first time (with the embedded tracker). The torrent was created OK and people were able to connect to it, but every few hours I lose all network connectivity and have to disable and re-enable my...

Athlon 64 + Antec Sonata II: CPU Cooler Recs?

Thanks. I've heard the XP90 is pretty good so if that will fit for sure I might go with that. I'd definitely rather go with something that will fit without removing the ducting than have to remove t for a bigger HSF. Don't plan to OC too much but it would be nice to OC a speed grade or two.

Athlon 64 + Antec Sonata II: CPU Cooler Recs?

I'm planning to build a new Athlon 64 3200 system with a K8USA Dragon Ultra mobo and I'm thinking about getting the Antec Sonata II for the case. However, from the screenshots of the case, it looks like clearance might be an issue with some CPU coolers due to the ducts: Antec Sonata Pic...

"Turbo" Mouse Application?

You know the old Nintendo controllers where you could enable "turbo" mode and have it automatically click the button really fast just by holding down the button? Does anyone know of such an application for Windows that will allow me to, for example, make the left mouse button click in at a high...

What's So Great About Google Toolbar?

Thanks for the suggestion. I've found you can hide most of the toolbar, but you still have to keep the search field visible at all times. Of course my complaint isn't a matter of practicality (since I use Firefox with browser-level popup blocking anyway), I just find it inherently absurd that...

What's So Great About Google Toolbar?

Because it would be a monumental waste of time if such information is already freely available on the web. Just to be clear, I'm not trying to take anything away from those who have provided feedback based on their experiences above. Opinions based on personal experience are certainly valuable...

What's So Great About Google Toolbar?

The popup blocking capabilities of the Google Toolbar are disabled when the toolbar is hidden. I have tested this in the past, and I just confirmed it again with the latest version. Based on actual tests of specific pages and certain scenarios, not based on purely subjective opinion. For...
