I have a Diskstation 2411+ that I expect to begin hibernation around 10am everyday. Today, in the afternoon, I noticed CPU usage was pegged so I checked out the Resource Monitor and found that a process called minerd was using up the CPU. I later found that minerd is associated with litecoin...

Hi guys, I've been using a Rosewill RSV-S5 with 5 Hitachi 2TB disks in a RAID5 connected to a Highpoint 2314 card for a while before the array caught some errors and started rebuilding. Well, it's been about 2 weeks and I've seen the following: -I also see that the orange power light on the...

I've been playing around running ESX 4.1 under VMware Workstation and I ran into an issue where I wasn't able to create a 64-bit machine in vSphere. This is due to the VT-D option not being selected in the BIOS. After several tries and reboots, I thought of upgrading the BIOS. After I upgraded...

Hi guys, I just received my Freeagent Theater+ and tried hooking it up to 2 different CRT TVs via the supplied composite cablesbut there was no display. I tested the device on an HDTV using component cables and it worked fine. Has anyone heard of this issue before?

So last night, I followed the directions at http://drnathan.teamhackaday.com/2009/03/09/how-to-enable-intel-ich-raid-after-installing-windows-vista/ to set up 2 Intel 80gb SSDs in Raid0. I had my OS and apps installed on one of these drives already. Thing is, my CrystalDiskMark scores are 2-3x...

I notice after a couple hours of gaming that my fan duty cycle and RPM will kind of switch. For example, I will set the fan to 35% but it's actually spinning at ~3840rpm. The higher I set the duty cycle, the lower the rpm gets and vice versa. Only a restart seems to fix this. I have a 4870x2...

I just finished assembling my system in an LL V351B case. I used both hdd slots in the cage in the rear. Did anyone else notice it's a tight fit with the sata/power cables? Mine are right up against the rear fan and it took a bit of pressure to be able to screw it in all the way. Did you guys...

Hey guys, from what I've read, I see that the SG31G2 is a hard base to start oc'ing with. I just got my 2.5Ghz E5200 up to 3.00Ghz stable by increasing the FSB to 241. I have not changed any other settings (voltage, timings, etc) but I was wondering if anyone could help me possibly squeeze out a...

Hey guys, Sometimes, when burning dvd+rs on my Lacie external lightscribe d2 burner, it just stops burning but I hear the fan still spinning. This thing has made a bunch of coasters already cause it just stops mid-burn and the disc is basically wasted. I use imgburn as my burning software...

Hey guys, I was wondering if you could help me out with something. I'm trying to extract the first file in a series of 7z archives. Because of the different naming conventions of the files, I can't simply say to extract only files that are named "this". Is there any way using the 7zip command...

Hey guys, I work in a computer lab at a university and lately I've experienced this issue: Only when users log on (we use pgina) will black dots slowly appear on the screen. They slowly populate the entire screen and don't disappear until the user logs off. This problem affects about 90%...

Hey guys, I was wondering if there's any software that can detect the S.M.A.R.T. info from a hdd in an external enclosure. The ones that I have come across can only display the info from the hdd connected directly to the SATA controller (I have a laptop), or is there some kind of limitation...

Ok, so I have a CFI Terabox (multiple hdd enclosure) on USB attached to my laptop. I was wondering what would be the cheapest way to have it connected to my router so it can be a NAS. Print servers seem to be really costly ($100+) for such a simple thing to do. Any input is appreciated. Thanks alot

I don't know much about electronics or components, but I had a idea for my pc. I would like to have a remote (tv or otherwise) control the cdrom eject function and/or shut it down. Is there anyway to do this? And where would I need to solder (if needed) to the mobo? Thanks for any help.

I've been ogling the "Bucky Edition" LL V2000B Plus case/rad combo at -> http://www.frozencpu.com/cas-307.html It's a sexy thing. But, it's waaaay too expensive. What would I need to make the cuts they make to fit the triple rad? Is that middle divider even possible to remove? And if a large...

Hi guys, please excuse my ignorance, I don't have much experience in this topic. I was wondering if it was possible to display from a vid card to a crt tv, using a composite cable, and how would it appear. I've tried it with my I-8500 laptop with Radeon 9000 (res at 1920x1200), and the display...

I have a WD 250gb SATA hdd (internal) hooked up with THIS to my laptop. I connected it with both usb connectors, and it was detected fine. I was able to browse the hdd. I disconnected everything, but I forgot to check something, so I connected everything again. And now nothing is detected, the...

Hey guys, didn't know which forum to put this question in. I'm looking for a set or a pack to play pre-slim version ps2 in a car (going on a long drive). If it includes its own screen, it'd be great. Does anyone know of a good one, or any experiences with these things? Thanks alot.
