    Use an external monitor while laptop is closed?

    I just replaced my desktop with a laptop. I have an external LCD that I am using with the new laptop. Is there a way to boot the laptop, then close it and still be able to use the external monitor?

    Can I record audio to CD and to MP3 simultaneously?

    A friend asked me if they could burn audio to a CD and to an MP3 file at the same time. I said they couldn't do it, but decided to ask here. I assume the audio is coming in from their sound board into the computer sound card. He is currently burning the audio live to CD.

    Temps went up after cleaning.

    Just to add closure to this thread. I sent in my H100 and got the H100i replacement today. It is all installed now and I didn't realize how noisy the pump was on the defective H100. The new unit is much quieter and the temps are about 39°C at idle, and 59°C at full load.

    What are the top end air systems that would be equivalent to the H100i?

    Temps went up after cleaning.

    I pulled the power to the pump. The temps shot up and I had to shut it down. I hadn't noticed before, but the pump was making a pretty loud noise, so it's probably failing. I called Corsair and they have a new one coming to me - since it was in warranty and I did have the receipt. Since they...

    Temps went up after cleaning.

    That might actually be a good explanation. I might have dislodged something by moving it around. How would I check this since it is a sealed system? And how would I check the pump? It's not easy as all the case fans make it impossible to hear if it's running.

    Temps went up after cleaning.

    I have a large case, Coolermaster ATCS 840 with a Corsair H100 cooler that uses 4 fans in a push/pull configuration. Temps were at 45°C at idle, and 75°C under full load (video transcoding). Today I decided to clean the inside and change the direction the push/pull was blowing. I thought my...

I have noticed that when I start typing (Word, IE Search, etc) that nothing happens, then all of a sudden the letters appear. Is this a problem with Samsung parts, or is it because...

    Are my SSD's bricked?

    The lockup occurs after I have booted into windows. I insert the SSD into the external dock, the turn the switch on (Windows is already running). That is when it locks up. I will try to SE the drive - haven't tried that yet. Also will try the toolbox.

    Are my SSD's bricked?

    I am only inserting them one at a time into the external dock.

    Are my SSD's bricked?

    I have 4 SSD's that seemed to have all failed at once. They are Corsair Performance Pro 128GB, and I had them all in Raid0 as the boot drive. I can take three of them and format them individually into NTFS using Parted Magic. Then when I reboot my computer and insert the drives, the system...

    What are all these partitions on my new laptop - 6

    So, 1) and 4) are for the OS and 2) and 6) are the system backup. That means that 3) and 5) are just extras?
