    Software which can generate checksum for large, deep directory

    I have quite a bit of data that I backup on two external drives which I keep at two separate locations. I call it my ghetto RAID, and I'm sure plenty of people would never use such a system, but I do. :eek: I don't like relying on backup/synchronization software, so I manually maintain each...

    Win7: Browser launching at startup, virus with a sense of humor?

    I am at my wit's end here. Earlier today I was unable to accomplish something which has never been a problem for me in the past. Simple file transfers over a local network between two Windows 7 PC's. I still haven't got to the bottom of it, but a newer problem has sprung up which would be pretty...

    Question about UPS max wattage

    I have never owned a UPS and I am thinking about getting one, not so much for the traditional reasons of "saving my work" if the power goes out... but more because I have been doing a lot of firmware flashing lately... both my BIOS and my SSD as they keep releasing revisions, and I thought to...

    Odd BSOD

    I have a Core i7 920 @ 3.8GHz, rest of my specs listed in sig. I do not think this BSOD is O/C related because I have passed over 20 LinX runs and 12 hrs Prime95 no problem. For weeks I have been running with no BSOD's but last night I saw two in a few hours. The first one happened while...

    Possible to create "exceptions" to S3 sleep?

    I am new to S3 sleep, and was wondering if there is any way to control when your PC is considered as truly "inactive" i.e. a candidate for auto-sleep to take over. For example, if a certain app is running can I designate it as preventing sleep from occurring? I heard that certain apps will...

    LinX crashes sidebar... pass or fail?

    Running LinX for stability testing, around the 10th run I still had no errors but the Vista sidebar crashed. Should I consider this as an error or instability? Or just a lack of RAM for sidebar and nothing to worry about? I'm inclined to think the latter. Sidebar actually managed to restart...

    How to power a 120mm fan by itself?

    I am trying to compare 3 different 120mm fans (I bought one of each) for airflow and noise (totally subjective and non-scientific). The winner I will then buy 6 more of and replace all 7 fans on my case. However, the way I was envisioning testing them didn't work, which I guess should have...

    Using OS/software to "tag" multiple media/file types

    The first time I was introduced to Gmail's "label" system years ago I was blown away by the concept. Rather than have to put each email in only one folder, I could now have every email in as many "folders" at once as I wanted... basically "tags" is another way of saying it. Immediately I...

    High quality 120mm fans with Blue LED?

    I have an Antec 1200 case with the Blue LED 120mm's all over it (5x). I also have the Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 with 2x 120mm fans on it (ugly tan/brown colors). I would like to replace all 7x 120mm fans with high quality Blue LED fans... problem is from everything I've read the highest...
