    Strange Hard Drive Problem I can't figure out

    Hey everyone, My problem is solved, though I don't know how or why I unplugged EVERYTHING, took out all the SATA and IDE wires. Took the chassis out in the hallway and blew all the dust out of it I could. Then connected just the new HD and it seemed to work fine. Installed Windows on...

    Strange Hard Drive Problem I can't figure out

    Hmmmm maybe. But then why would it only affect one hard drive and not the other? The 320GB Maxtor is still in there and still gets constant use every day. But when I plug either Seagate in, the freezes and spins happen. Its not the cables either - I've tried every combination of...

    Any current deals on UPS Battery Backups?

    I'm looking to buy 2 UPS battery back-ups, one for my computer and one for my home entertainment a/v equipment. Are there good deals on any currently? I'm looking to spend under $50 on each, and would prefer them to have about a half-hour of backup time. Thanks!

    NEC 3500A won't burn Ritek media at 8x?

    I have another question. I burned a movie onto the Ritek media in question at 4x, and it played fine in my computer, but the Panasonic DVD Player in my living room didn't even recognize it. Have I just bought blanks that will never work in my standalone player, or will future firmware updates...

    Can overclocking break an OS?

    Hello, I recently tried overclocking my Barton 2500+ on my Asus A7N8x-E Deluxe motherboard (I have a two 512MB sticks of CorsairXMS PC3200 memory). Leaving all other settings at default, I could get my FSB up to about 185 or so before it would be buggy inside Windows XP (SP1a). Everything...

    New Corsair PC3200C2 ram won't run at 400mHz.

    I'm having a similar problem with my CorsairXMS PC3200C2 ram.... Built my new computer (see sig) and ran everything at stock (333 FSB) for a week or 2. Then tried upping the FSB to 400 and it wouldn't boot. So I tried various settings between 333 and 400 and found that up to 350 it worked...

    The future of DVD Burners

    Belzer, what is Cebit? So when these 16x and/or dual-layer drives come out in late spring or summer, would they be worth buying, or is it always good to wait a few generations for new burning technology?

    The future of DVD Burners

    Hello, I recently assembled a new system for myself, but the one thing I didn't get is a DVD-Burner. I didn't get it because 8X drives are still fairly new, I wasn't sure if prices would be going down more, and I wasn't sure what the future of DVD-burners was. Does anyone know: When are 12x...

    Installing Win XP Pro from MSDN Subscription

    Well it worked. I used the original MSDN disc and it was in fact bootable... I'm not sure why I thought that it wasn't (I might have tried to use it in another computer once whose cd-rom drive wasnt bootable and I thought it was). Got everything up and running now, now all I have to do is...

    So I have 5.1 speakers and a 5.1 sound card, but I can't watch dvds in 5.1?

    I figured it out... for some reason, the WinDVD 4 that came with my video card didn't output 5.1 channels, but the WinDVD suite that came with my motherboard does.

    So I have 5.1 speakers and a 5.1 sound card, but I can't watch dvds in 5.1?

    Hello, My motherboard (ASUS A7N8x-E Deluxe) came with a free copy of Intervideo WinDVD suite, my DVD-Rom (Lite-On 16x) came with a free copy of PowerDVD 4.0, and my video card (Powercolor Radeon 9700 Pro) came with a free copy of Win DVD 4. However, it seems that all 3 programs are limited to...

    Installing Win XP Pro from MSDN Subscription

    There is no bootlegging involved... I am a valid MSDN subscriber, and I am using the actual real cd. For some reason, I thought that I had heard that the WinXP cds in an msdn subscription were not bootable... and to be honest I didn't even check. I still have a question though - Can I...

    Hello, I have an MSDN subscription. I want to install Win XP Pro onto a brand new machine whose hard drive has never been even formatted using the msdn cd. However, the msdn cd is not bootable. I was thinking I could just make a boot floppy, but when I tried it, it asked for 6 blank floppys...

    Help! Freshly built computer won't even beep at me!

    Yup I did get rid of those rear fan grills... just had to use a sharp cutting tool, then file the edges down. I don't know why companies still make cases with such restrictive grilling. Yup I have a total of 8 fans in my case - CPU fan, video card fan, a 120mm Antec blue led in the front, two...

    Yup that is exactly why I bought the $6 floppy drive.... for installing winXP. I doubt I'll ever use it again after that unless I need to reinstall the OS. SirDude, sorry, that case doesn't really appeal to me. I went with the enermax 31881ta. nitromullet, I will have a 120mm fan in the...

    Hows this rig?

    Optomistic, I wanted a case with a front temp display and side window... newegg didn't have a lot with those characteristics. Do you think I should go with something like the Aspire X-Dreamer II? Link Pics

    Hows this rig?

    Optimistic, I liked this IBM mouse not only because its optical, ergonomic, with a side button and a scroll wheel, but the scroll wheel glows blue :) Totally goes along with my black keyboard, speakers, and case (which has glowing blue fans). All I need now is a illuminated keyboard (Why...
