Retaining data after mobo swap?

Agreed. Except the mirrored array is 1TB and I don't have a spare 1TB drive floating about... Except the two forming the mirror. :) Hmmm... Didn't realize it had Intel raid... Thought it was Sil or some other company. Interesting. If I can't get Gigabyte to fix the board, then I...

Random computer lockups after replacing thermal paste

If you were using a newer CPU which 'sits' on the socket pins, instead of having pins that insert into the socket, it's possible the pins were not making proper connection with the CPU. A symptom to look for (should it happen again) is how much memory is being reported. This problem also...

Retaining data after mobo swap?

I've got a Gigabyte EX58-UD5 board that died on me, was sent back for repairs, and came back "repaired" but now will not acknowledge 2 of 6 banks of memory installed (triple channel DDR). Considering switching to a new board. I was pleased to find that when I popped the board in the...

Very Warm (Military Only): Blu-Ray movies $9.99

I just went to the Navy Exchange while visiting here in Yokosuka, Japan (been here 2 weeks) and was shocked to find today that they have a rack of blu-ray movies for $9.99 "on selected titles". Under $10 already, wow! Anyhow, I assume this should be available at every Navy exchange, and...

John Cooper Works kit for the Mini S...only one

Actually Trevor, the JCW air intake IS only useful at high RPMS. It's like the stock air intake in most respects, but after 4200 (i think thats the number) RPMS, there's a flap that opens to let more air in... but below 4500, it performs just like a stock intake. As for the injectors, they...

HOT!!! Dyson DC14 'Animal' $325!!!

Just ran prime95 and Sandra07 burn-in for 24 hours, keeping the CPU at 95% the whole time, and no issues. No drop in voltage, no fluxating fan speeds, no errors... Everything seems solid. But it's not. How odd.
