    Hard drive transfer <4MB/s

    I've been using a 3TB Western Digital Green drive (WD30EZRX) for the past five years to do weekly backups. The hard drive sits in a caddy and connects to the computer through a hot swap bay - straight SATA, not USB. This past week's backup took a lot longer than usual, more than the typical...

    Sapphire 4850 Fan Mod Gone Wrong

    I bought the 4850 during the holidays, turns out, the fan was really loud. It was either on at 100% or completely off. Any ATI related tools didn't fix the problem either and as far as CCC is concerned, it thinks it's a 4800 series card. So I tried to do my own fan mod with a 5 way switch and...

    Digital Multimeter

    I've been using Fluke hand helds in labs but they're a bit too expensive than I can afford for personal use. On the other hand, I don't want to buy no name brand and have it fail within a week. Can anyone recommend quality brands or even specific instruments? Also, any online retailers that sell...

    Platter Damage?

    I dropped my laptop while it was on (and torrenting). It restarted immediately and when I try to start the torrent again, it failed the cyclic redundancy check. Great.

    DS3R Cold Boot CPU Speed Issue

    My DS3R has been rock solid, but cold boots are terrible. When I get up in the morning, the computer will never fully boot on the first try, power down, retry, usually on the third time it'll boot. Today, I boot up, the BIOS reads the CPU as: Core 2 Duo E6750 1.77Ghz (222x8). Why/how did my...

    True Black

    When I play a movie in Windows Media Player vs Media Player Classic using the same codec, the MPC movie shows a more washed out black while the WMP shows a lot more darker black. Are there options I need to configure? I believe they're using the same codec so it must be software correct?

    Turn off Dual Core

    Few questions. 1. Is it possible to turn off a core on a dual core processor? 2. Would turning off a core create less heat? 3. Would the Performance page in Task Manager look the same with a dual core versus hyperthreading? Thanks.

    No Updating

    I'm planning to format pretty soon to XP SP2 again. However, I've noticed the most 'security patches' I install from MS, the slower my bootup is. What's the risks of not installing all those patches. I'll have AVG and hardware firewall running.
