  1. Does soda taste better out of a can or bottle?

    I was talking with a rep from coke a few weeks ago about this exact same thing. It's got to do with the containers they are stored in. Something to do with the thermal capabilities of glass, aluminum, etc. I like cans better than plastic, plastic better than fountain (because of lack of mixing...
  2. Which cheap 120GB/240GB SSD?

    I've been slinging the ADATA 60 dollar SSDs on newegg. They do the job for basic usage.
  3. pagefil.sys

    It's pretty strange that it's not just in the root of the drive like it would normally be. Unless you're doing something that would move it, most page files can be deleted and windows will recreate one on reboot.
  4. MB likely fried: How to save RAID 0? Possible?

    Yeah. Most of the fake raids will work when hooked directly up to an identical machine. Works almost every time.
  5. Newly Built PC won't boot

    Can you get a picture of the pins?
  6. Burned ssd contacts!

    Oyeve, I absolutely love your avatar. For more than a few reasons. That's a scary situation. I have no idea what would burn up on a drive and still work. Holy crap.
  7. Reformatting my D: drive Help?

    I'm really glad TheELF brought up the information about the boot manager. Not very many people know that, and run into no boot scenarios. I'm sure there's a way to recreate a similar partition. Windows is a jerk for doing that. They do the same with some of their C++ redists. Using another drive...
  8. MB likely fried: How to save RAID 0? Possible?

    If the machine is identical, and the BIOS and RAID options are set properly, the drives will plug and play. Each drive is marked as part of a specific raid array. No data will be lost if you are simply just transferring drives from one machine to another. As long as RAID is set in the BIOS and...
  9. Is my system too old? Is there any hope for i? Help :(

    Here's another option! Dell Precision T3500s all day long on Ebay for 135 shipped. They come with more modern chips and usually a more capable graphics card. I use one as a media center and it plays games to boot!
  10. All USB Devices Stop Working In A Specific Case

    There's a few troubleshooting steps you can take to kind of run down the issues. I had an instance once where a bad USB keyboard would constantly short out my ports and do something similar. 1. Try one device at a time, such as: Plug a device in and out repeatedly to see if you can reproduce...
  11. Blue screen of death. Need serious help.

    I hope they do, it took forever to figure out my first Q6600. Tried everything, but then I said let's do the chip. And the rest was history. Error 0x124 = Bad CPU (for googlers)
  12. Looking for mid range AMD card

    I snagged a R9 380X for 229 the week it came out. I've been pretty happy with it. FO4 and BF4 are quite good at 1080p. I cannot say for any rez higher yet. I've had a few driver crashes, but with the recent update to AMD's software, they have quieted down a bit, although not completely gone.
  13. Upgrading -- Please Advise

    Upgrading a PSU is a good idea when going to new hardware. It would be nice to be able to get the machine ready for future upgrades too. But that would be up to you.
  14. All USB Devices Stop Working In A Specific Case

    Do you think it's possible that you're causing an amp surge on the usb ports? Even though the devices may not be using the total amps available through the usb, having all the ports used for such devices could randomly cause voltage drops or amp issues. When the devices go all funky, does...
  15. Blue screen of death. Need serious help.

    This is a follow-up to our conversations earlier. Working on a Dell All-in-One today, windows 8 or 10 installer would not load. I grabbed a 7 install usb. Error 0x124. Intel Pentium G3240. Swapped with i5-4400 series, works flawless. What are the odds that just a few days after this thread, I...
  16. What is your favorite budget 550W/600W PSU?

    Yup, it was great, 30 bucks shipped to door. I replaced an aging OCZ with one of these.
  17. Windows 7 Build crashing

    Yup, it will. Have you checked in Device Manager and enabled hidden devices? There could be drivers loading that are no longer needed, or are incorrect for your system.
  18. Why no dedicated push to talk on keyboard t

    This is actually pretty novel idea. I never really thought about doing this before. PTT on the floor, no immersion issues and no clumsy key config.
  19. Need help choosing a Skylake mobo

    H170 is a good starter. Since OC isn't important. Keeps the price down while having some decent features.
  20. Upgrading -- Please Advise

    This is where desktop computers will always have an edge. Get the card, install, compare to current benchmarks out there, and decide if you need to upgrade your CPU. I'd really recommend a bit higher wattage power supply if you decide to go with the 960. Give yourself a bit of headroom. If...
  21. Lunatic Windows 7 Update hell on fresh install. Tried everything! No solution.

    Yup, this is the exact scenario I was describing. I knew there was an easier way than just hitting reboot. As nerp said, it really is showing it's age. It's a shame it never got an SP2 like it really needed.
  22. Need help choosing a Skylake mobo

    I've posted this before, but I'm a huge fan of the MSI Z170A Mx Gaming series. I have the M3 and absolutely love it. The software is a fun tool too. I haven't used the onboard audio because I use a USB headset, but it's apparently a grand feature of their boards in the area. Check em out.
  23. On screen display is locked

    Have you tried combination of buttons? Unplugging and holding down the power for 5 sec? Menu + Power? Just a couple of ideas.
  24. New computer / old monitor = hdmi no signal

    Even though your monitor was working fine before, check another monitor on the computer. Remove the card and see if the problem remains with integrated graphics (If you have them, if you don't this doesn't help) I've ran into a similar experience with my R9 380X randomly crashing it's driver...
  25. Lunatic Windows 7 Update hell on fresh install. Tried everything! No solution.

    Windows 7 Updates are currently hell. From a fresh install, depending on the speed of your computer, it can spend up to 8 hours or more checking for updates. Check your task manager for CPU and Memory usage. svchost and trustedinstaller will be among the top of the list if you have updates that...
  26. Would I waste my money if I bought an i5-6400?

    Either one of these chips with at least 8GB of ram is absolutely enough for almost anything. Since you're going with a SSD, it's going to be fast and stay fast for quite some time.
  27. Steam in home streaming

    I built a Precision T3500 for a media machine/Steam in-home streaming. I absolutely love how it works with a gigabit network. GTA V looks and runs great, Racing games are quite good too. I played NFS Shift and Assetto Corsa and they do run well.
  28. Blue screen of death. Need serious help.

    Interesting, I hadn't thought about voltage. The machines I've ran into were OEM machines the ended up running fine with identical replacement chips. I wish I could figure out what went wrong with them.
  29. Windows 10 unable to set default player 4 music cds

    Have you tried reinstalling VLC. Also, can you change it to any other program? I've ran into some issues where you have to select the default windows program and then select your desired program.
  30. Hard Drives Disappeared

    Agree with PuffnStuff, check your cabling and try different sata cables/power etc.
  31. Blue screen of death. Need serious help.

    UaVaj, I've seen this on a few Intel Q6600 CPUs. Stop Error 0x124. I honestly could never find a cause, but I can say I've definitely had this come up before. (I think I had a Phenom 9650 do it too).
  32. new system which brand of X99 for less than $300

    Huge fan of MSI. I've been using them as boards for my customers, and currently run a Gaming M3.
  33. Dell Dimension 4600

    This may not have anything to do with your model, but I've ran into some of the HP of this generation having issues with Secure Boot and PCIexpress graphics. I don't have any information as it was discovered during a diagnostic. I had to disable Secure boot to install a GTX 650 for a customer. I...
  34. Help with old Core2Quad Q9650

    Yeah, glad it's normal again. It seems to be that updates were most likely doing something in the background, just for curiosity, was there a svchost using a good bit a ram at any point in the past few days or during the testings?
  35. Dell Dimension 4600

    Check to see if your BIOS is set to PCIexpress instead of on-board. Plug into on-board video while it is black screened to see if the on-board is enabled and taking priority and not recognizing the new card.
  36. Help with old Core2Quad Q9650

    Definitely do not allow that installIQ to go through, it's malware. Sounds like you downloaded the coretemp with bundled software. http://www.almico.com/speedfan451.exe Here is speedfan, well known and reliable. It will show you sensors in your machine that it can read. Although, some of the...
  37. Help with old Core2Quad Q9650

    What are your temps like? The new chip is actually 10W less than the Q6600, but if it's being thermally throttled, it's possible you may not know. It's obvious that your chipset supports the CPU, but it doesn't look like the Dell Optiplex 755 Officially supports the Q9650 chip. It could be an...
  38. March 2016 Upgrade: Focusing on Mobo and Case

    Definitely! I wasn't trying to be a fanboy for one or the other, I run a repair shop and have seen so many Gigabyte Intel boards (pre-2014) completely dead with no reason. I'm sure it's not even an issue, so I really should've put it a bit less biased.
  39. How much does a fast CPU really help in games? pclab.pl 2012-2016 article

    I've been recently building my friends Xeon X3440 Machines on intel boards. Toss a 130 graphics card and you got a great gaming machine. A lot of the older hardware is so valid, it's almost a steal on the web now. Another example. Dell Precision T3500. 1366 X58 Systems for 150 on the bay...
  40. March 2016 Upgrade: Focusing on Mobo and Case

    I've currently got the M3 motherboard from MSI. I'd like to say I love it, but definitely pay attention to the available PCI Express slots while others are in use with it. It looks great too. This is just my opinion here, but seriously, run away from Gigabyte boards. Especially Intel ones...
