    Third SATA drive fubars boot?

    Thanks for the tips so far. Well I have no idea what the hell I did, I played around in the BIOS for a bit - disabled SATA 3 and 4, plugged the drive in - booted into Windows, restarted, enabled SATA 3 and 4 and then rebooted and the drive is now recognized and booting fine. I'm going to put...

    Third SATA drive fubars boot?

    Hey guys, hoping the expertise of this board can help me solve my problem. I just recently purchased a WD Black 1TB SATA drive for my PC, it will be the third drive hooked up to my mobo (Asus A8N-SLI Premium), cables are good, following SATA 1-4 order, etc. Whenever I hook up a third SATA...

    Really odd computer issue!

    The Corp edition of the AV software is very lightweight though. I'll give AVG a try though I've liked it in the past. Right now I'm uninstalling Office 2k7 from her computer to see if that fixes anything, then I'm going to go backwards uninstalling until it boots fine and we'll see where that...

    Really odd computer issue!

    The thing is, a repair install fixes the issue for a bit usually. Would a bad install only crop up after a few weeks? Wouldn't it be upon next reboot?

    Really odd computer issue!

    Symantec Corporate AV, WinRAR, Post It Notes, Nero. The thing is, Office is the only "new" software installation - everything else I have been running way before I had issues.

    Really odd computer issue!

    So I've been having this issue on the rig I built within the past little bit where upon boot, after the scrolling loading XP screen - my computer would just halt on a black screen as if it were on but there's no activity, no mouse cursor - nothing. On reboot it's a crap shoot as to whether it...

    Backlit KB thats not blue?

    Ugh, the letters on that DECK keyboard look like garbage. Cut the kiddie fonts, just give me straight up normal lettering and it'd be half decent.

    Backlit KB thats not blue?

    I've got the limited edition red Saitek eclipse, I love it. Took a few days to get used to the keys and such since I came from an old ass generic keytronic keyboard, but it's awesome. The red is blinding and it's much easier to see than the blue. I thought the blue would've been way too bright...

    Case airflow help. Diagram inside!

    Just opened up the case. Seasonic PSU is exhausting into the case, but there is little airflow from it and it is very cool air (thumbs up seasonic). Graphics card fan is intaking onto board. So, I'm voting for intaking the 80mm side so it'll blow onto the graphics card since it idles at about 45...

    Case airflow help. Diagram inside!

    Yes, the red cooling box is the rad. I have a Seasonic S-12 500w PSU, I just put my hand behind the unit and there's no air coming out the back, so I'm assuming the fan is exhausting into my case. Not sure about the video card, the cooler I just purchased for it (AOC Evercool Turbo 2 Dual...

    Case airflow help. Diagram inside!

    Hey guys, I need a final bit of help with my case. Here's my current setup, WC exhausting, 120mm intake in the front. I have a sidepanel fan and I'm not sure where I should put it, either position 1 or 2, intake or exhaust? Not sure if I should use it to exhaust the PSU and heat around...

    External Hard Drive help

    External hard disks are regular drives in an enclosure, they're IDE (not SATA) and hook up to a computer via USB. As far as I know, there's no such thing as a SATA external enclosure.

    Manual AA/AF or application specific?

    Hey guys, since my last videocard was a damn Voodoo card, not sure what to do here. In the nVidia settings CP, should I set the anti-aliasing, AF, etc manually or should I set it to application specific for my games? 7900GT OC, 4200 X2, 2GB RAM, etc.
