    New SSD Install - Did I skip something important?

    I performed a fresh install of Windows 7 64bit on a 128Gb Samsung 830. Here's what I did: Changes BIOS to AHCI Installed Windows 7 That's it, did not use Samsung magician since it was a fresh install. I was a little over zealous and forgot to check the firmware to see if I had the...

    Image Windows partition to SSD - Reinstall all programs?

    Probably about 100 GB of games/programs. Some are games I no longer play, so I've just decided to do a fresh install and reload the programs I will be using.

    Image Windows partition to SSD - Reinstall all programs?

    That's what I want to do, but the SSD is only 128GB, so I can only clone the Windows partition. That leads to the problem described above.

    Image Windows partition to SSD - Reinstall all programs?

    I'll try to keep from sounding dumb here, but I'm not completely following you. I'm not familar with "symbolic link". Here's what I did: Put in BF3 DVD and click custom install Change the C: to D: and the rest of the path is the same, then install. It installs everything on the D drive...

    Fried multiple GPU's, running out of clues.

    It does sound like "dirty" power could be the culprit, but not sure why it would only take out the VC and nothing else.

    Mobo or GPU - Which one is failing - Help please

    Did it shutdown, crash/lock up, or power off? If it was the VC it would likely crash or lock up and require you to manually restart it. If it powered off, that would seem a power issue and being that it did it with a different PSU would lead to think you might not be getting enough power...

    Image Windows partition to SSD - Reinstall all programs?

    I have a HDD partitioned into C and D, with C for Windows and user files, and everything else on D. If I add a SSD and copy my current C drive image, do I have to reinstall all programs? Adding the SSD and making it C would push HDD partitions to D and E, so I'm not sure how this would affect...

    Computer won't power on at all.

    Best to take out of case and see if it starts with only one HDD, VC, CPU/fan, one stick RAM. Or you could just unhook everything but the above mentioned, including case fans and ALL case connections (front USB, pwr/reset buttons, etc.) and see if it powers up. This will not eliminate any...

    I don't plan to replace it, just leave it unhooked.

    Solved!! (I think)-- On startup, fan spins and stops, have to unplug.

    First BIOS rev I think. I don't typically change BIOS unless I have issues and this board ran 100% stable with a moderate OC for over a year. That battery idea is interesting though, I had not evey thought of that. I'm currently running with the same OC settings I had previously and have...

    Solved!! (I think)-- On startup, fan spins and stops, have to unplug.

    Ok, I'm fairly confident I found the problem. I say "fairly" only because I still have a few odd issues and I will wait on my HDD drive swap to see if they disappear also. After going completely barebones and then connecting things one at a time, every restart was working fine until my final...

    Solved!! (I think)-- On startup, fan spins and stops, have to unplug.

    I have reset back to default BIOS settings and same thing. Another thing I found is that instead of unplugging, simply pressing the CMOS reset button on back of case restarts the PC normally also. Discussing with Asrock suppost and they want me to remove from case and go with barebones...

    Solved!! (I think)-- On startup, fan spins and stops, have to unplug.

    NM, 2nd drive came unplugged when I was messing with the main drive to be sure it was fully connected. :$ Still not sure if this is a MB or PSU issue, but I'm leaning towards MB.

    WD 750GB Black failing, need new drive recommendation for immediate replacement!

    Yea, just realized they cross-ship the Blacks. Called WD support and was on the phone for < 3 minutes and have a new drive coming. A++ for WD support. However, nervous about HDD crashing before new drive arrives. Also nervous about the failure rates of WD Blacks.

    WD 750GB Black failing, need new drive recommendation for immediate replacement!

    750GB WD Black purchased Sep 2011. Multiple utilites reporting errors so I plan to purchase a new drive today and looking for recommendations. I will go with a 750 or 1TB drive. Seagate drives are cheaper, but I've always been a WD guy. This is the first premature WD drive failure I've...

    Solved!! (I think)-- On startup, fan spins and stops, have to unplug.

    I still don't know what to make of this "power" isue, but I defintely hav HDD issues. HDD is a 750GB WD Black purchased Sep 2011. WD utility fails. Seagate utility fails. 3rd party chkdsk finds errors. I then unplugged the HDD and still did the start/stop cycle. I also checked...

    Solved!! (I think)-- On startup, fan spins and stops, have to unplug.

    Ok, so I've had a few issues lately but not sure if any or all are related. First is that when idle, my monitor goes blank and desktop will not come back on by normal means (moving mouse, keyboard press, etc.). I press Windows-L and the logon screen appears. I've changed to different screen...

    FIXED!! - Lost partition after power outage, need advice

    Thanks. :) I took your first sentence to heart as I nearly reformatted right away out of ignorance and impatience. I used to have my PC on a UPS but the battery no longer held a charge and it was only 400W, so I have been without one for over a year and it nearly bit me. Time to get one.

    FIXED!! - Lost partition after power outage, need advice

    FIXED!! I was able to access the files after I copied the partition to an external drive, but still could not get Windows to access the D drive. I booted with the Windows 7 CD and tried to repair, but there were no problems found. I then ran fixmbr form the command prompt and it was...

    FIXED!! - Lost partition after power outage, need advice

    I tried the "fix MBR" in partition wizard, but it did not change anything. Partition wizard sees the partition and every file in it, so the data is definitely still there. There must be something corrupted that will not let me acces the partition and I'm not sure what it is or how to fix...

    FIXED!! - Lost partition after power outage, need advice

    Ok, I appreciate the replies! One good thing is that there was nothing on this partition that I absolutely need that was not backed up on a seperate drive. I have several games loaded which means re-downloading (which will take forever especially BF3), but if I do lose everything I am not out...

    FIXED!! - Lost partition after power outage, need advice

    I have my main HDD partitioned into C and D with C for Windows 7 and misc user items, and D is for everything else including games. I was playing BF3 when the power flashed at my house. It was a very quick flash, but enough to cuase a restart on my PC. After it started back up, it was slow...

    ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 - Who has it?

    Ok, I've had thso board for a little over two months now and as been rock steady at 4.3 GHz @ 1.3vCore (2500K). Never could get anything over that to be stable (even 4.4 @ 1.4v) but I am now pretty much convinced it is my CPU vice the board itsself. I did not get any noticeable benefit from...

    ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 - Who has it?

    I did not install either. Sorry. I am still running stable at 43x at 1.35v and LLC at 3. I still like the board and for the price, it's tought to beat.

    ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 - Who has it?

    Seems my 2500K may just not be a good chip. At 4.4 I bluescreen in < 1 minute at 1.35vcore. At 4.3 I bluscreen in < 5 min at 1.34vcore. I am am stable at 4.3 and 1.35 vcore. That's about two hrs of prime. There is something screwy with the BIOS. In addition to refusing to boot at...

    ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 - Who has it?

    That's very interesting. I couldn't get mine to boot past 44 multiplier either. Didn't try too much as I dont have time for much testing during the week, but will play with it again this weekend and see if I have the same issue.

    Best Motherboard Support/RMA?

    Similar situation here. Last year I tried to get an ASUS VC RMA'd after it died about 3 months before the warranty was up. I never did get any kind of response and ended up chucking it in the trash. I admit I wasn't overly aggresive in pursing the RMA, but should I have to be? A few emails...

    ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 - Who has it?

    OK, so I unboxed this board and inspected everything. Seems to be a very nice board and well built. No initial concerns with build quality. I installed my 2500K with the CM Hyper212+ cooler and the install went fine. I had to raise the fan about 1/4" to get over the first stick of RAM, but...
