Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I see. I'm.. not really comfortable with the idea of letting my video card sit in the freezer so I can take it apart, though, and I can't really think of a way off the top of my head to freeze something without it getting sopping wet. Any suggestions?
I had been considering reformatting lately, but only as a last resort. I haven't had the time to, but I guess I'll just have to find some time to get around to it.
As I said:
I don't have enough enemies who would break into my dorm room and tamper with my hardware, and I always lock my door, jeez. Plus, how would that happen with a brand new drive that wasn't even taken out of the box until last night?
I'm... pretty sure. I hadn't touched the cable at all before this started happening, and I just put a new one in. The red stripe was facing the left side of the slot on the drive and the top of the slot on the MB.
I've tried several disks. I dunno if they're all bad, but that seems unlikely. As for the other option.. if the floppy port is fried, I'm guessing that would be pretty difficult, if not impossible, to replace without buying a new MB, huh?
I tried changing the cable, and there's power running to it. It tries reading the disk but brings up that "insert disk" error. I'll have to try checking the BIOS..
Ok, this one is a doozy. I bought a Gateway 700x in about August of 2002, and the floppy drive was working fine up until about... maybe a week or so ago. I go to insert a disk, and when I double clicked the floppy drive icon in My Computer, it just said "Please insert a disk into drive A:"...
Hey, I have a slight problem with my video card. It came with a Gateway 700x I had purchased in August of 2002, and is listed by Gateway as a "NVIDIA NV25 GeForce4 Ti 4600G 128-MB AGP Graphics Card R3 - Part number 6002246." It worked fine for about a year~year-and-a-half, but now, when I try...
