    Single SSD drawing too little power for PSU to keep PSU power cable alive?

    I have a Corsair CMPSU-750TX, Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 motherboard, and Intel 520 240GB SSD. When I have just a single Intel 520 SSD installed, running Window 8, it makes it through boot, flashes the log-in screen, then power cycles. It doesn't seem to matter which SATA data port I use on...

    PS3 blu-ray -> Samsung LCD -> Samsung HT-Z310 receiver = no 5.1 sound

    PS3 -> Optical -> Receiver did the trick :) For now I'll live with only the PS3 getting 5.1. DirecTV will have to wait until I get a new receiver!

    PS3 blu-ray -> Samsung LCD -> Samsung HT-Z310 receiver = no 5.1 sound

    I will check tonite. It should still be whatever default the PS3 ships with. I also might have to consider a new receiver (this one was a used gift from a friend).

    Game recommendation? (PC; current favs are TF2 and Fallout 3)

    I've "finished" Fallout 3 in that I've completed the endgame quest, but I missed certain things like paradise falls. Then again it's getting a tad repetitive so perhaps I'll move on to New Vegas soon. Thanks all!

    Game recommendation? (PC; current favs are TF2 and Fallout 3)

    Does anyone have a PC Game suggestion for me? My current favs are TF2 and Fallout 3 (no xpacks). Old old favs on sega genesis were Phantasy Star IV and Shining Force 2 (I'd love a new Shining Force game on PC :) ). I'm considering Fallout: New Vegas, but I still have more to explore in...

    OCZ Agility 2 (Sandforce) 90GB SSD $143

    Yeah but what if you update the Agility 2 to the new firmware? My understanding is that benchmark was from the original Agility 2 firmware.

    OCZ Agility 2 (Sandforce) 90GB SSD $143

    How does this, especially with the new firmware, compare to the Vertex 2? Anandtech's bench shows they're almost even except in the 4k aligned iometer test - and the agility 2's figures were from an older bios, I believe.

    Intel X25-M 80GB G2 for $169.99 (after $30 MIR, good thru 10/17)

    No threadcrap offense taken! Actually I was going to doubt this drive as being too new, but a similar and celebrated drive the Vertex 2 90GB is also down to $169.99 after MIR!

    Intel X25-M 80GB G2 for $169.99 (after $30 MIR, good thru 10/17)

    Could be! But back in 2009 they were king of the hill. There's a lot more very capable competition these days, especially sandforce-1200 drives like the vertex 2.

    Intel X25-M 80GB G2 for $169.99 (after $30 MIR, good thru 10/17)

    According to camelegg.com it's been pretty consistent at $300 from last fall until March of this year when it dropped to around $220. But yeah 50% off after one year is pretty crazy...

    Replacement for Canon S2-IS?

    What would be the best recent equivalent of the Canon S2-IS, for around $200-$250? What I liked about the S2-IS: It had an optical viewfinder, a great mix of auto and manual settings, a solid feel, a nice long zoom, and image stabilization for my shakey hands. I've looked at the Canon SX120...

    My first LCD HDTV... what accessories do I need?

    Thanks, guys, good info here. I'll start off with a normal surge protector, and I'll try to find a calibration DVD - does this need to be blu-ray? I'm also going to need to bump up my cable TV package...

    My first LCD HDTV... what accessories do I need?

    Hi folks, I finally gave in and ordered a 52" Samsung B630 this weekend. I know I should consider blu ray, speakers etc down the line, but what immediate accessories should I get, if any? Do I need a power conditioner, or just a normal surge protector? Is there any special configuration or...

    What do you think about these parts for new build? Trying for right at $1000.00

    I know you've said it's not a gaming-centered machine, but to clarify: Do you plan to play any 3D games on it at all? If you plan to play any 3D games on it at all, and you want it to last a while, grab a 4830, or 4850, or 5750, or 5770. (any one is fine, based on room in your budget) If this...

    Apt burned down - building new PC

    Great choice! I run a E8400 wolfdale at 3.6ghz, and it''s very fast, but if I built today I'd have to choose an i5 or i7. I'm not in love with Antec's TruePower series... I probably would have gone Corsair 650HX with your build (even though I've had one 750TX die on me, the RMA was super...

    Videocards and Graphics suggestion

    Graphics Cards and Displays should not be bunched together. The LCD/Monitor thread gets more posts than many subforums do, and is relevant to any user who uses a monitor. (did you know we have a Distributed Computing subforum? Yeah, it had 3 updated threads today.)

    (Relatively) inexpensive New England Maple Syrup!

    Yes, yes, yes, a thousand times yes! Far, far superior to the corn-syrup based "pancake syrup" (such as Aunt Jemima brand, or Log Cabin brand) that is given out free at diners. It's like fresh squeezed Orange Juice vs Tang. Sure, Tang's not terrible, but it's crap compared to fresh...

    Which TN LCD from the following list ?

    Personally I dislike 1920x1080 (16:9), so I would look for a 1920x1200 (16:10) option. I read from top to bottom, so screen height is more important than width. Also, some games may not support 16:9 resolutions, but most will support 16:10.

    Help Upgrading From 9800GT to what?

    For photo editing, any decent video card is fine; spend money on a better CPU if your photo editing is too slow. For gaming... AMD/ATi just came out with a new set of cards, the 5850 and 5870. Read Anandtech's review here. If you're interested in SLI then I'd recommend getting a...

    Corsair 750TX PSU + APC Back-UPS 725VA = bad idea?

    I have a Corsair 750TX PSU as well as an APC Back-UPS 725VA. The 750TX is a bit overkill for my system - I have 4gb ram, an 8800gt, 1 sata hard drive, 1 dvd drive, and a E8400 Core 2 Duo clocked to 3.6ghz. Still, do I need to worry about this overdrawing from my UPS, which supposedly...

    Need Adobe CS4/Video Editing Rig: $1200

    Hackintoshes are often a lot of trouble, so don't get your hopes up there. Google it for details on the strict hardware requirements. Upcoming X25-M Intel SSD G2 will break your budget (older G1 is even pricier). $225 for 80GB will be too limiting when you're trying to install video editing...
