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.
Assuming the virus was fully removed (a big if, no matter how many tools you use), it wouldn't necessarily revert a setting that was changed.
I view virus removal as incredibly dangerous, there's simply no way to know the machine is actually clean. Better to just nuke the mbr, reformat...
Does this noise sound like an official alarm or an electrical issue?
The odds of a power event while gaming are relatively low, so I don't know if you absolutely require a UPS that can hold up your fully loaded system. I'd be willing to bet that most of the time, the system is pulling...
My family member was running a X-25M G1 on XP 32-bit...not sure of the specifics, but it had some BSoD's and eventually had to be RMA'ed.
I was using a X-25M G2 on 7 64-bit...TRIM was working, had it aligned correctly, absolutely no warning, just a BSoD, then a boot disk error message. The...
They were an early adopter to the technology. I scored my G2 during the Newegg Black Friday deal, think it was under $200 after Bing Cashback.
I agree platter based HD's are more likely to be DoA due to shipping, but if a platter based drive makes it through the first day, I have more...
Well my X-25M G2 80GB died last night after 8 months...random BSoD, boot failure afterwards. Loaded up a Linux live CD and the SSD registered as 8.4MB...talk about $ per GB! :eek: Nothing can fix it, have to RMA.
I also recommended a X-25M G1 80GB to a family member, who had theirs die...
Looking at the specs, the intake is a 140mm @ 1000 RPM fan, compared to an exhaust of 120mm @ 1500 RPM + whatever the PSU does. Seems like it would be negative pressure, maybe neutral, but I'll consider it.
I personally have a P182, which is easily made PP by turning the top fan into an intake (3x120's in, 1x120 + PSU + videocard out). It also has very easily cleaned front filters.
I'm looking to provide the same solution (ATX form factor, PP, easily accesible filters) for a customer, the only...
