  1. SSD keeps disappearing

    Thanks for your query, I'd meant to come back and finish this off. The final chapter is I RMA'd and then sold all my Corsair Force GT disks, I had four in total. I could not get them to work on my system, even with the new motherboard. I have since bought a total of 5 Samsung 830, 256GB...

  2. Samsung 830 vs Vertex 4 (128gb)

    You won't be sorry Tinty. Since I installed 830s as my OS drive, two data drives, my laptop OS drive and as an external drive, going back 7 months I think now, I have had not one single issue. Not one! Not even a program crash. I'm beginning to think that a lot of the problems with computing...

  3. Samsung 830 vs Vertex 4 (128gb)

    I agree with everyone here who says the 830 is your best bet. Prices are coming down, but the primary factor is how stable the drives are. I bought three Corsair Force GT drives (2x240GB and 1x90GB). I've RMA'd both the 240s. The 90 seems stable though I'm using it strictly for backup, and...

  4. google Chrome: how to disable geolocation?

    Thank you both...that's both helpful and more confounding...since I've been to this location (my wife's parent's house) for many years, always used the same IP and wifi connection, and have never had this problem, at least not to this degree. I did download Firefox english, thanks much...

  5. google Chrome: how to disable geolocation?

    Thanks jk, maybe I'm on the wrong hunt: I downloaded and installed Firefox, disabled geolocation, and the damn URL bar continues to take me to German-centric websites. When I wanted to download Firefox for instance from Mozilla, it wanted to send me a german version! Arrgh!...so maybe I'm...

  6. google Chrome: how to disable geolocation?

    Okay, thanks, never hurts to do community service, I'll give it a try if Firefox turns out to be as clunky as it was when I abandoned ship, thanks!

  7. google Chrome: how to disable geolocation?

    Thanks lxskllr, maybe I'll go back to Firefox...I used to use it but it got so slow and topheavy I got ticked off and went with Chrome, which has a lot of cool features, but this inability to disable the location thingy ain't one of them. I checked out Tor, my paranoia index isn't high enough...

  8. google Chrome: how to disable geolocation?

    Hi, hope someone can help me find what quite a lot of Googling hasn't helped with. I'm in Germany, and trying to access a website in America that, as soon as it loads, switches to the German version. The location feature is I suppose at fault, since Chrome knows I'm here...but no matter what I...

  9. External HDD disappears; new burners read...but won't post. ???

    Okay, figured out the first part: Windows has a switch that enables Windows to burn disks, or not. If it's set to disable, it enables the burning. Makes sense to me. Mine was set to enable, which by Windows' perverse logic, disabled burning. All's good now. Still no luck with the external...

  10. External HDD disappears; new burners read...but won't post. ???

    Sorry, didn't mean "burners won't post" They won't burn. I hope someone's got an idea what's going on, I'm out of ideas. My new ASUS P8Z68 Deluxe/Gen3 build has been running just great. Not a single BSOD with two Samsung 830 256GB SSDs leading the charge, but strange things happening lately...

  11. DVD drive won't recognize discs

    Hi, did you ever get this resolved? I have two ASUS burners, about 3-4 years old now, and all of a sudden neither is able to read disks, though like you I've tried everything, including uninstalling both drivers and letting windows reinstall them, changing SATA ports on the mobo, trying...

  12. SSD keeps disappearing

    Okey dokey, just finished backing up data off the disappearing drive, then did a Secure Erase with Parted Magic by having the drive connected via USB3/SATA adapter, which worked like a charm. Plugged the drive back in, booted up, went into Disk Management, the disk was there, told it to create...

  13. SSD keeps disappearing

    I couldn't agree more. I wish I had just $10/hour for the six weeks I've lost chasing down SSD and motherboard problems. I wish I'd heard about the Samsung 830 before the Corsair, which worked (and works) great when it's working. As pricey as all of these drives are, they're so fantastic in...

  14. SSD keeps disappearing

    I agree, I use my computer 90% for work also, that's why I went to the Samsung. 300 BSOD vs. 0, works for me.

  15. SSD keeps disappearing

    Interesting comment too, Obsoleet. Meanwhile, the problem Corsair SSD I've been struggling with is now disappearing within a minute of bootup. I'm thinking it's been a bad drive all along. My other 240 GT is solid, no problems. Meanwhile, I'll swap out for another SATA 6 cable but I don't...

  16. Asus P8Z68-V Pro Gen 3 Owners - Did you install the new BIOS?

    That's sure a possibility, it was the drive I had the OS on. ASUS returned the same mobo, all they said is it was repaired...but it seemed like my OS crashes were related to the SSD, at least until the mobo gave up the ghost. Maybe I'll RMA the Corsair, first I'm going to call them and see what...

  17. SSD keeps disappearing

    Righto. Meanwhile I've just bought another Samsung 830 SATAIII SSD, it's bullet proof, almost as fast as these Corsairs, and I'm tired of messing around. Once I get it, I'll SE and sell the Corsairs.

  18. SSD keeps disappearing

    Ok....just did a little troubleshooting. I swapped cables so my number 2 Corsair drive is now connected to the Intel 6GB port and the drive that kept disappearing is now connected to the 3GB port. I booted up without incident, all drives showed up, opened Chrome, opened Lightroom to start...

  19. SSD keeps disappearing

    Thanks, I appreciate the help, will read that. I booted up and the drive disappeared! Booted again and it's there and working on it just fine. It's not a big problem so far, just a nuisance, but I'd like to eventually track it down. Will probably call tech support at Corsair and see if I can...

  20. SSD keeps disappearing

    Thanks much, I installed the reg tweak and the AHCI item showed up in power options, and I set it to HIPM + DIPM, is that right? I still don't exactly know what these allow me to do. Since DIPM means Device Initiated Power Management, should I just select that one?

  21. SSD keeps disappearing

    Hi Puppies, yes it is. They've not released one since the board was introduced....I'll check again but as of a couple weeks ago it was the original bios. Groberts, thank you for that. One question: How do I find out if my SSDs support HIDM and HIPM?

  22. SSD keeps disappearing

    Hi, I haven't found any posts that directly address this problem, I hope someone can help. I have two Corsair 240GB Force GT drives, set up as data drives. I have my OS on a different drive, a very stable, fast Samsung 830 256GB. Both Corsair GTs have the latest 1.3.3 firmware update. The first...

  23. Asus P8Z68-V Pro Gen 3 Owners - Did you install the new BIOS?

    Thought I'd check in to let you all know that I rebuilt the system with a different motherboard, the Asus P8z68 Deluxe/Gen 3 and it's working like a champ. I haven't had a single crash in two weeks (I was gone for 2 weeks on business, I'd just gotten the system up and running a couple nights...

  24. Asus P8Z68-V Pro Gen 3 Owners - Did you install the new BIOS?

    Hi Snapshot1, you bet. I figured out I coiuldn't be the only bat-blind geek freak out there who couldn't find a sticker in those mini canyons of tech boulevards, streets and alleyways. The techs at Asus aren't much help, maybve they don't know or more likely don't care, but I wrote one back and...

  25. Asus P8Z68-V Pro Gen 3 Owners - Did you install the new BIOS?

    Hahaha...I'm cracking myself up. After spending all that time yesterday, looking for the stupid P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 sticker that those guys at ASUS told me was somewhere near the PCI slots, and shooting and emailing 10 shots of a variety of angles to them, I did some more digging on this site...

  26. Asus P8Z68-V Pro Gen 3 Owners - Did you install the new BIOS?

    Update: my P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 board stopped letting me get into bios, and came up lame with a VGA LED light always on. Breadboarded it (outside of case on non-static surface, no monitor, just power, cpu, one mem chip, reset CMOS several times etc etc etc), recycled through MEM OK attempts...

  27. Is my motherboard bad?

    Super, thank you again, yeah, learning curve indeed. I coulda read Moby Dick 3 times over just with scouring the net trying to absorb the nuances. Will get the deluxe gen 3 then, others you suggest, maybe sell the corsairs or use for programs, I do like them. Re CPU fan, I had the double fan...

  28. Is my motherboard bad?

    Bankster, that's awesome, thank you very much for taking the time to help me out of the forest. specific replies below... Thanks again bankster55, if you can answer any of the q's above, pure gravy, appreciate the expert help very much.

  29. Is my motherboard bad?

    Thanks Bankster, I checked out the link, some things on there I wasn't aware of and will use those when I do the build again. I'm mightily frustrated of course. Could I ask you for some advice since you do this a lot? I'm really kind of freaked to be 6 weeks from ordering my system and still...

  30. Is my motherboard bad?

    Thanks stahlhart, I just spent a very frustrating half hour with ASUS tech, I swear the guy didn't know half what I've learned, how do they train these people? With wooden blocks with letters on them? After taking 20 minutes to confirm to him that yes, indeed, the red VGA LED light was...

  31. Is my motherboard bad?

    I have the board out, doing a basic breadboard test (same as I did when I built it) and no matter which memory slot I try, and cycling through the MEM OK button levels (ever-faster flashing red DRAM LED), the red VGA LED comes on at the end of each cycle after the CPU and DRAM leds flash, and...

  32. Is my motherboard bad?

    Not yet, still in the case. Tomorrow I guess. Just pulled video card, all but one stick memory, reset CMOS again, even unplugged video. Red VGA LED lights up with no monitor plugged in and no video card. I think the board is baby teething bisquit.

  33. Is my motherboard bad?

    I sure hope someone's got some "a-ha!" bit of advice because my next step is calling Asus, and you know what a clusterfoo that can be. I've been through a lot of discouraging BSODs since my new build. Rarely used the computer without having at least one per work session I've talked about this...

  34. Asus P8Z68-V Pro Gen 3 Owners - Did you install the new BIOS?

    That's the one, I had some video issues until I disabled the iGPU and set the PCIe/PCI switch. Since the 0402 bios update I've been more stable...although Google Chrome kept crashing my system. I'm using IE now, much as I don'lt want to, and it's doing just fine. Side note: last night I...

  35. Asus P8Z68-V Pro Gen 3 Owners - Did you install the new BIOS?

    C3 and C6 switched back off. Guess why? B. S. O. D.

  36. Asus P8Z68-V Pro Gen 3 Owners - Did you install the new BIOS?

    I just flashed my ASUS p8z68v Pro/Gen3 board to bios 0402. Steps for those who aren't familiar with the process: I formatted a 4 gig USB thumb flash drive copied the extracted 0402 bios to it rebooted and went into bios clicked on the EZ Flash Bios thing it showed the USB drive with the bios...

  37. Asus P8Z68-V Pro Gen 3 Owners - Did you install the new BIOS?

    Thanks Axonn, nope, all's kosher there. Only shows one optical drive.

  38. Asus P8Z68-V Pro Gen 3 Owners - Did you install the new BIOS?

    Hi guys, this may be a bit off topic but does anyone know why one of my two DVD burners shows up but the other doesn't? They both have power and both are plugged into a SATA port on my P8z68 pro/gen3 board, and both flash on the DOS boot up screen, but only one makes it all the way to the...

  39. Asus P8Z68-V Pro Gen 3 Owners - Did you install the new BIOS?

    Whatever the truth of C3 and C6 switches turn out to be, with mine switched off, I'm getting the max rates Corsair advertises for both the Force GT 240GB SSDs I have: around 525 and 560 MB/sec on ATTO. And it is (for the most part) a stable system now, even with my optical drives plugged into...

  40. Asus P8Z68-V Pro Gen 3 Owners - Did you install the new BIOS?

    Thanks nealh...didn't realize that's all it took, I'lm familiar with folder options. I didn't know what you meant by open explorer, menu on top, tools etc....couldn't find that but for any others looking for same, I did know to click on Computer in Start menu, then Organize in upper left of...
