    WD1200BB Dead?

    Hey! I think I have pretty much the exact same hard drive problem posted about here: http://www.techspot.com/vb/all/windows/t-16504-Any-way-to-recover-this-HD.html I also have an A7N8X Deluxe and a WD1200BB hard drive, and the BIOS has the same problem recognizing the drive (it won't detect it...

    I guess you're right, but with performance so similar across AMD boards, I've just been shopping for features...

    Question about Integrated Sound

    I have a question about the relative virtues of the following CODEC's I often see on motherboards. I'm upgrading from an nForce2 board, so I'm not sure how far a step down new audio solutions will be. The integrated solutions I'm seeing are Realtek ALC850 and ALC882D, as well as ADI AD1986A...

    Opinions?

    Hi guys! I am finally upgrading my computer, and here is the system I am thinking of building. I do play some games from time to time, but I am much more interested in multi-tasking/productivity. I work a lot with very, very large images in Photoshop, for instance. Let me know if you think I...

    Alternatives to AsRock 939Dual-SATA2?

    I am building a system to be used primarily as a workstation. I want to continue using my ATi 9800 Pro. I will buy a 4200+ x2, 2GB of low-latency ram, and one of them 150GB Raptors. I don't plan to overclock heavily, and will mostly use the computer for general multitasking and image editing...

    Regedit Another OS Copy's Registry?

    Thanks for the tips guys. @phreakpiercer: Won't her copy of Windows not boot on my computer due to a vastly different hardware configuration? @LoStMaTi: I already used Norton Antivirus Corporate, with the latest definitions. I am pretty secure that I have gotten all viruses on her hard...

    Regedit Another OS Copy's Registry?

    Hey guys, Basically, my sister got a virus that prevented her from doing basically anything on her computer, so she sent the HDD to me in Chicago, which I put in my computer as a slave. I ran Norton Antivirus, cleared about 10 viruses off, and things are looking good. Here's the problem...

    Downloading Script

    Hi guys! Basically, I want to automate the download of a huge amount of Google Map information. I want to take an address like this: http://mt.google.com/mt?v=w2.5&n=404&x=16773&y=24329&zoom=1 and download the .png file. The trick here is, though, that this is just one part of the...

    Random Rebooting

    Thanks guys. I will definitely stary looking. Having replugged in my PSU, I now have voltages as so: 3.3v: 3.25v 5v: 4.84v 12v: 11.31v -12v: 11.81v -5v: -4.86 So that's better, but not worth ignoring the initial problem. Second, here are my load temperatures (after pifasting a...

    Random Rebooting

    I'm writing from a friend's computer. It was definitely power. I unplugged the power connect, and a couple of the contacts were all browned out - both on the mobo & PSU cord. I guess I might try another PSU, just to see if that will work with the mobo - the damage to the contacts on the mobo...

    Random Rebooting

    Thanks for the advice guys. I will definitely reseat the HSF and reapply some thermal goop. But diode temp is 33C with 53C as the socket temp. So I think that's not the problem. The +5v line dropped to 4.4v once (saw it in the MBM log), and never gets above 4.6v. This hadn't ever been a...

    Random Rebooting

    Thanks for the advice Jonesy. I will try that this weekend, as soon as I have some extra time. I will check on the situation with the RAM and the proc. I have underclocked it already, to see if that would reduce the heat, but I don't think it took (still shows ~1.737Ghz in MBM) I was...

    Let's do the specs first: A7N8X-Deluxe (nforce2 board, if you don't know) Athlon 2100+ (don't remember the core) 3x256MB Ram running at 133mhz (so there's a divider worked in there, I think my proc is a 166FSB), generic Antec 380 (can't remember W so well, will need to take this out) 1...
