actually that was a brain fart post. i actually did run disk management and its a 80GB disk and i only see about 34GB partitioned in disk management. dont know why the rest of it isnt showing up.

how do i get to disk managment?

my windows pc doesnt boot up anymore. so i took out the hd and hooked it up to my other pc hoping i could recover my data on the desktop at least. i can get to my desktop but i doubt there being another partition where i stored some data. how would i get to that? would i see the other...

Anyone have any knowledge in this area to guide me through this process? Im looking to calculate the MTBF for a memory device but would need the SER for it. Typically its presented in FIT/Mb, (Failures in Time in billions of hours) but I dont know how to calculate that. I do have the number...

installed the new OCZ PSU. its very quiet, it was definitely the PSU. thanks for the help all.

the whine is not similar to a tv or a crt, it is really really high pitched and loud, im afraid my neighbors dog is going crazy, its really annoying, i can hear it from all over the house. well regardless, i have the PSU on the way, if it isnt that, then its my mobo, the mobo is barely a...

its funny but all day today, i havent heard the high pitched noise.

i realized that. i just ordered an OCZ 80-plus-certified 600W unit from newegg.

its a 450W unit but not a reputable brand, maybe 65-70% efficiency? the noise emerges after about 5 min of startup and then stays no matter what the load. i could have no applications running and just an idle desktop and the noise would be present.

i have the following components on my new system. a8n32 deluxe mobo amd athlon 64 939 2.2ghz 3700 cpu cooler master cpu cooler 2gb ram (4 sticks) 8600GTS superclocked pcie 1 dvd/rw drive 450W PSU 4 HDD 3 fans the system is making a very high pitched sound, squealing sound to be exact. i dont...

yes, thats probably easier to do, but taking the mobo off requires a lot more work.

this might help someone else as a tip. i found out the best way to get a good hold of the clip and pull it off is use a zip tie. make sure its a heavy duty zip tie, the weak ones will snap off easily. use a couple to get good leverage and it will pull the sucker off. thanks for all the...

ya but its just very hard to take off any side, the clips dont want to come off the hooks. there isnt much room either on the mobo to get screwdriver down there for some leverage and i dont want to damage the mobo by flexing it too much or have the screw driver slip and hit the mobo or any of...

for the life of me, i cant take the cooler off of the processor. this is the processor i have and it has the stock cooler on it that it came with. i bought it from newegg. AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego 2.2GHz Socket 939 Single-Core Processor Model ADA3700CFBOX - Retail anyways, i...

got pics? how about 130 with the cooler, shipped?
