I know a lot of folks were not happy when there was no Drive Extender for WHS 2011. I don't want to invest more cash into the system if I don't have to. The new case should have onboard graphics so I can connect to my monitor for easier viewing. Unfortunately my KVM is a 2 USB port Belkin which...
Hi,
What I am looking for is a case that can house 4 3.5" WD HDD's, low power consumption and motherboard that will be able to run WHS v1 (else I'd go Win 8 Pro for serving media). I do ripping on my main desktop and move files over via mounting the folders from my current WHS to the desktop...
I ran memtest86 4.20 on each 4GB stick for 11-17 passes and each passed with zero errors. I am on the gigabyte forum working with a guru there. It seems I will be needing to adjust voltage settings to run all 4 at 1600 (which is ok with me). I don't plan on oc-ing the CPU, I just want to get it...
Three things to note:
1) I can't bring up system with memory in the 2 slots closest to the CPU at this point (channel A)
2) According to the manual the sticks are supposed to be installed in 3_1 and 3_3 or 3_2 and 3_4 and I decided to try that, system goes into constant reset mode (have not...
I can't get the GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 to come up with frequency manually set to 16.0 multiplier for the memory with all 4 sticks in. I can run/boot it with 2 sticks in either of the 2 sets (2 closest to CPU or mobo edge). I ran memtest on 2 installed to mobo edge for 6 passes @ 1333 stock settings...
Yeah. I saw it bounce between 160x and 340x in CPU-z. Memory was showing as 1333 instead of 1600 and in CPU-z it was showing 667. I ran memtest on the 2 sticks overnight for 6 passes with zero errors in the 2 slots closest to mobo edge. I bumped the multiplier in memory to 16.0 and rebooted this...
Set Load optimized defaults, reset controllers to ACHI, checked memory voltage and at 1.5V and still won't come up (no beeps when it just resets so I am thinking there is a power issue somewhere *or* the mobo is faulty). Checked for BIOS update and @BIOS said there wasn't any (F9 but there is an...
I got the system up and running with 2 of the 4 Corsair Vengeance 4GB modules in either of the first 2 or second 2 slots. If I put all 4 in the system keeps resettings and never comes up. I set the frequency to 16.0 for 1600 (BIOS screen shows 1333 1600) and voltage is at 1.5v (didn't mess...
I had to replace a Thermaltake 700 or 750W PSU awhile ago for losing 5v line after a shutdown (forgot I had to do something and wouldn't turn back on after shutdown). Been running replacement for probably 3 yrs or so but rebuilding system and it is being replaced as well with a 650W PSU. Single...
I just received my Z68-UD3H-B3 from newegg along with 16Gb memory (corsair i believe), Zalman 9500 cooler and i5 2500K. What should I be looking at for cpu voltage settings (Memory is 1.5v I know already)? I don't plan on overclocking since it'll be running 24x7 pretty much and running Win7 Home...
I think I have a thermaltake....but I put the WD Green into my WHS after formatting it and the WHS arriving. Nice box but I need to turn it on before powering up the PC as it seems to hang when I power it up after the system is up. If I do the latter it is seen just fine. Otherwise it may show...
You could also consider getting a backup app (like acronis) and image your boot disk so that when you restore from failure *or* upgrading to a bigger drive things still point to the right areas on the 2nd HD. Just remember to pull power on that HDD before doing a restore so drive letters don't...
The problem I have with putting apps on a 2nd drive is that if the main boot drive dies you have to reinstall the apps anyways. So why bother? I can definitely see the use of a 2nd drive as your data storage, i.e. app installed on OS boot drive, work on data on storage drive, back up OS to one...
Alright, I did one thing I hadn't tried, roll back the driver to former version. I had done an update a week or more ago at the most recent from MS for the updates and took the realtek update. Looks like it may have gotten corrupted as now the port it back up and only one (not connected) reports...
Ok, this is really starting to tick me off. I thought there was supposed to be support for the product still? I call their RMA number and now it's saying it's disconnected/no longer in service. Yet calling Abit's California number refers you to this number for RMA's.....I am not happy at all and...
reset your CMOS on the board via jumper, you may think about pulling battery or reset it from little post on back of board (pressable). Also only install 1 DIMM for the time being until you get the thing to stay on constantly. Once it stays up set the voltage to the correct value for the DIMM...
Hi,
I am not sure if there is a virus (doubtful, highly doubtful) on my system but last week eth0 went stating cable is unplugged. Port lights on router show dark for the connection. I plugged into eth1 and it lit up ok and I was able to access the internet. Router showed led lit up. Just now...
I went raid 0 on 2 500's then used a partitioning tool (don't remember if it was partition magic or not) as I decided to add Vista 64 ultimate as a 2ndary OS. So I split the raid 0 config in half and have XP Pro SP3 on first half and Vista 64 Ult. on 2nd half. I image backup both partitions so...
There was a possible file system corruption issue that is supposedly resolved with Power Pack 1 which I think is part of the eval version you can download (30 days only). You could supposedly order the 120 day eval version too. But keep in mind you'll need to re-install if you buy/purchase the...
Hmm, I was in a similar boat so to speak. I had raid 1 and wanted to break apart my drives, the hacks I tried (registry file that I ran, etc...) didn't work and got bsod. I ended up swapping out the drives for slightly smaller and set it up as AHCI.
What I *think* would work is the 2nd half...
I did order it but was unable to cancel after I ordered an HP ex485 WHS system. So I will sell off the software. Reason I bought the box as the system went black screen and needed to be power cycled before it would give me video/input. I suspect something is going bad in it. And to update things...
I got a KingWin enclosure w/1TB drive and an Antec w/500GB in it. Either one is decent. Antec was $60 though...vs $3x for the KingWin at microcenter. Both have fans as well in them and power switches. The KingWin does eSata and USB, other USB for sure, not sure off the top of my head if it does...
Once I get windows home server box (whenever HP gets off their asses and release the new ones....) I will be backing up my 2 desktops + laptop to it as well as storing my mp3's onto it to serve out/be my media serve. I still will be doing image backups to external HDD's as well for the systems...
Well, apparently with the PP1 downloadable ISO you are stuck with 30 days to test it out. If you want to update w/product key you have to reinstall it (another hit imho). But I decided to pre-order the HP ex485 box since my system went blackscreen during a backup (flashing monitor, no input from...
You would probably be needing SO-DIMM memory, not regular memory in the laptops. As for using 1 2GB stick vs 2 1GB stick, don't know if it would see the single 2GB stick or not....max you said was 2GB but the laptop may not support a 2GB stick itself.

It won't slow your network down, it *sits* on the network and is only used when it is accessed. Hence network attached storage. I bought the DNS-323 and tossed in 2 500GB HD's (it has Gigabit/ftp server/itunes server/dhcp server/print server/yada yada) but I am looking at re-using an old XP3000...
You may have to contact Acronis and get an updated image with support for the ICH9R chipset. I had to do that as I set my desktop up with RAID 0 and it wouldn't see the device. Once I got the new bootable image it works fine. Check with Acronis as that sounds like what the issue may be. But upon...
ok, first off this is pretty LAME if you ask me. My mobo can take up to 3 DIMM's so I left it as is....it wouldn't install WHS so I switched video cards, same crap. So from SoundTheSurrender's suggestion I pulled the 3rd DIMM out and VIOLA! It installed ok. Now the question is, where is the...
Sounds like you didn't put the boot.img onto it. I used that and it worked fine for me but it was from XP, not Windows 7. I'm not even going to mess with it seeing it's still beta and not a ton of support in there still. Did you extract the boot.img from the XP disc as well? That's needed to...
It is a component of Windows Exchange which is the users portion as well as other things. I don't know a lot about it atm but I am testing exchange at work and have to clean up active directory if I wipe out the exchange information store(s) and go to re-set it back up with a clean database and...
I picked up 2 Maxtor One Touch 4 500Gb externals, one is working fine when I use it, the other lost the drive completely, i.e. I plugged it in and it didn't see anything. I had to go into My Computer->Manage->Disk Management and reformat the damn thing. I got it at staples, I just formatted it...
Also isn't the pricetag on that around $599 if it's the one I looked at briefly (saw price, said no thanks)? Still, it's a nice small footprint for sure but can make one cheaper more than likely.
Corsair, G.Skill's are a good bet IMHO and from what I've read. I'm running 4 1Gb 1066 Dominators in my XP system (dual boot Vista 64 Ultimate). But lately since my main desktop has been on the fritz (crucial ballistix tracer 800's I suspect causing issues again...) I got a pair of G.Skill's...
I would just pop in the new memory and remove the old and power it up. The system may beep while it does its configuration but that should be about all that happens. Board takes either 168 or 184? Interesting.
Mike
Why not look at Windows Home Server? I am starting to look at that but currently it isn't getting to the install point on an old AMD XP3000 system (3Gb but has an X1600 GPU which probably isn't supported on 2003 SP2 server which is what WHS is based on). I have a DNS-323 w/2 500 SATA II's in...
Take ram out?! The board has 3 slots, I've got it maxxed with 3 1Gb sticks I put in last year some time. I know they aren't faulty as the system has been shut down for almost a year since I built a replacement system back in Mar. 08 timeframe. I think it's more the video card since WHS is based...
Hi,
I have tried 4-5 times to get this to install from the image I downloaded today to test it out.
Config:
MSI K7N2 Delta 2 Platinum mobo
Athlon XP3000
3Gb DDR PC2700 memory
2 300GB IDE drives
1 IDE DVDRW
ATI X1600 AGP video card
That's all I have in this box and it wouldn't get...
Ah, well they may then since timings/speed are the same. But as you noted that you were getting freezes. I don't think you can tweak it down to the individual DIMM/slot timing though, but I could be wrong! Good luck either way!
I wouldn't mix different vendors, just asking for issues/trouble. I was thinking of putting my crucial back in with new g.skill but they aren't the same timings so that ain't gonna happen, also I suspect one of the crucials to be giving me trouble (again) hence switching to g.skill.
