    Two defective hard drives?

    nah I figured it out. Apparently I must have reset my bios somehow in the past few weeks and had a power saving feature on. It was switching off the hard drives everything 15 minutes or so. O bought some kama drive bays high CFM fans, a new chipset cooler, rewired and cleaned up my case and...

    SATA cables with my DVD Rom

    Don't enable raid. It's not needed. There should be a separate option in bios to enable the specific sata port it's pluged into (should look like "Sata 1&2, Sata 3&4 etc)

    Two defective hard drives?

    Well I said I isolated everything i could think of. I removed the sata drive, I removed the IDE drive and used a Ubuntu live cd and I'm still getting the sounds. It happens so sporadically that if I were to try and listen to where it were coming from I'd have to lie down and have my head next to...

    new soundcard, it stinks!!!

    Probably some electrical interference from somewhere. What kind of speakers are you using? Creative cards aren't exactly known for their high end audio quality.

    Two defective hard drives?

    Well you guys have been a tremendous help. Can anyone perhaps suggest a forum better acquainted with hardware troubleshooting? I'm sorry that I sound rude but just look at the replies I've gotten so far. I said that the diagnostics passed several times in the original post and he says my...

    Looking a decent mouse pad

    The corepad glass pads have the best surface but the pads are too thick with the rubber backing and stick too high up. Icemat is the second best (and what I use now)

    Two defective hard drives?

    I booted off a Ubuntu LiveCD (so the hard drives weren't being used) and I'm still getting the noise. Anyone have any ideas?

    Two defective hard drives?

    Like I said in the above post I disconnected that drive and still get the click/spinning power up type noise. It almost sounds like when the PC comes out of suspend except I have all the power saving features turned off.

    Damn, I disconnected the sata drive and I'm still getting the click noise. What else could it be?

    Two defective hard drives?

    The diagnostics have all passed perfectly fine several times. The sata drive is like 1-2 years old. I need to figure out if the 60gb ide drive is defective as well since it (or something else specific to XP) causes the game to freeze during new area loads.

    Two defective hard drives?

    This is really strange. A few weeks ago I formatted and partitioned a sata drive so that I could dual boot vista and XP. After I had installed Vista on the sata drive I started to get a strange clicking noise followed by what sounded like a powering up noise, quite similar to when you first...

    Possible to change the hard drive letter?

    I have the same trouble. My vista is on F: drive. XP is on C: I had read somewhere that Vista is meant to detect the drive it's installed on as C and also also XP to detect as C. I'm not sure how to go about getting that to work properly.

    Trouble with dual boot installation

    Yeah, that's probably what I'll end up doing anyways. I hate having to back everything up and reinstall everything again though.

    Trouble with dual boot installation

    Thanks, really appreciate the help. Don't think I would have thought of that. Do you know if the new SATA drive with XP will be detected as the C: drive by chance? I recently discovered some recent DosBox games I purchased absolutely need to be installed to their respective default C: locations...

    Trouble with dual boot installation

    C:'s is the main boot drive with XP. D's a slave drive with backup/work files and attached to the C: drive as a slave. F is a partitioned sata drive with Vista installed to it. I want to replace the C: drive because it's failing and not have to reformat the Vista installation. At the same...

    Trouble with dual boot installation

    Hopefully this isn't too difficult to fix. I have 3 hard drives. My main hard drive, up until I installed vista, was a 60gb IDE drive (drive C). I have a slave drive attached to it (drive D). I partitioned a Sata drive (drive F:, apologizes if I'm making this more confusing than it should...

    Very low 3dmark06 score

    You have a low/mid range video card is why. MY brother scores about 5500 or so with his 7950GT and I score about 9200 with my two 7800GTX 512s.

    best pads/rubber feet for slick desk?

    maybe I can crush the pieces of one of your knock-off watches and use some blu tack together to have some added friction.

    best pads/rubber feet for slick desk?

    I have an Icemat 2 and an Ikea Jerker desk and the icemat slides around with a small amount of pressure despite it having 6 rubber feet. Same with my SMK 88 keyboard as well. Now this may be a silly question but can anyone suggest some products which would have enough friction and stopping power...

    Do you have any recommendations for inexpensive routers that also have built in firewalls? I was looking earlier in the week after a hacking attack but the ones I saw were $120+

    Have to unplug modem with Dual Boot

    Is there any way around this ? I have to unplug my modem whenever I boot into Vista after using XP and vice versa. I assume it's for my ISP to get the different MAC address or something that the OS assigns to the NIC. This is quite tiring to have to do constantly every time I want to switch...

    Getting a noise like my pc's about to switch off

    I keep all my important stuff on a separate drive. You know what though, I installed Vista on a partition on a totally separate drive from both so I don't think it's the hard drive. I think my CPU might just be degrading and perhaps needs more voltage. I went for a semi-suicide OC and bumped...

    Getting a noise like my pc's about to switch off

    You think so? I've been using an ancient WD60 HD for the past 4-5 years or so. It's the only PC component I've kept for this long. Do you know any way I can test it to make sure?

    Getting a noise like my pc's about to switch off

    Anyone know which hardware component would cause something like this? It's strange because it makes a noise like it's shutting down (a clicking + power down sort of noise) but nothing happens, no crashes or anything like that. It began happening when I installed Vista, actually it happened like...

    I <3 DFI support

    They're hit or miss. The people I delt with had no clue what they were talking about in regards to their own products and gave me bad advice. DFI products themselves are to be avoided IMO unless you want them solely to tinker. The reason I say this is because A) the onboard sound is...

    Which keyboard/mouse combo should I get?

    Logitech is lame IMO. I use a BenQ mini keyboard. Wouldn't think of touching a logitech :D Just because everyone else uses something doesn't make it good BTW. Just look at Creative soundcards, popular music, movies etc. People as a whole have incredibly banal and infantile tastes in things.

    Trying to decide on a Sound Card

    I would suggest people in the market for a new soundcard look at the Auzentech HDA 7.1 as it allows 5.1 gaming over spdif as well as real time DTS encoding. The chaintech I have is decent for 2 channel but driver support is lacking and I can't get bitperfect (kernal streaming) playback to work...

    Ebay bans Google Checkout
