    External hard drive dead?

    I ran the tests that you can get from Seagate's site and it passed. Is there a better test program I should use as well?

    External hard drive dead?

    This actually worked. Took it out of the enclosure and it worked fine. Thanks for the help guys.

    External hard drive dead?

    I may try this, but it seems doubtful if I hear clicking doesn't it?

    External hard drive dead?

    Interesting. Since the drive isn't even recognized anymore, I'm basically screwed as far as recovering any data unless I want to use one of those expensive data recovery services, correct?

    External hard drive dead?

    I have a Seagate Goflex 2TB external hard drive. I was gaming and my computer crashed forcing me to restart, when I did, the external drive was no longer recognized in Windows 7. I tried restarting the hard drive, but no luck. I finally noticed a very faint clicking sound from the drive, now...

    Trouble booting

    I upgraded my Motherboard, cpu and ram last month. Yesterday I was adding a SATA cable to install a 2nd hard drive and after I was done when I went to start my computer it wouldn't post. All the fans would spin, motherboard status lights were on like normal, but no video would come up. The...

    BF3 is one of the main games I'll be playing, so that's good to hear. Thanks for the replies.

    GTX 260 SLI vs GTX 570 worth the upgrade?

    That's almost my exact upgrade path CPU wise, E8500 to 2500K. I'm just trying to figure out if the jump from CPU is where most of the performance increase comes from or it's equal between the CPU and video card.

    Upgrade

    Yeah, I plan to go for the Crucial M4 now. Just need to find a good deal on it. I'd still like opinions on if the CPU, Ram and SSD will give me a solid performance jump. From what I've looked at it seems like the answer is yes, but more feedback is always good.

    Upgrade

    From everything I've seen and the responses I've received, it doesn't look like it's worth it with the new cards around the corner. The CPU, DDR3 ram and SSD should give me a pretty nice performance jump even keeping the same video cards shouldn't it?

    GTX 260 SLI vs GTX 570 worth the upgrade?

    I'm looking to upgrade from GTX 260 SLI and wanted to know if going to a GTX 570 is a significant upgrade? I game at 1920x1200. I've tried searching around a bit and haven't really been able to find a definitive answer yet. Thanks.

    Upgrade

    Thanks for the replies so far. I guess my biggest question left is if it's even worth upgrading the video cards at this point. I've tried to do some looking on my own and can't find a clear cut answer if a GTX 570 is a significant upgrade or not. I'm wondering if I should just buy the other...

    Upgrade

    Edited OP with the things you asked for. I'm hoping to buy at Tiger Direct to take advantage of their no interest financing right now, though. I was planning to get the 2500k, but they don't have it in stock currently. Would the 2500 be much worse if I don't plan to OC? Also, the...
