Hello everyone, and thank you all for your replies. I apologize for being so late in updating, but due to work and school it can be sometimes difficult to have a moment of free time when I'm not dead asleep. With regard to my aforementioned issues, ever since my last update there have been no...

Thanks for your reply. I use Precision on a regular basis for just that concern. Not to mention, the room the machine's in is freezing cold. Update: After posting the OP last night, I shut the machine off and went to bed. This afternoon I get back in, and turn it on expecting to continue...

Intro: Okay, so I recently put together a new build, everything worked fine and it was glorious. It works great for roughly two weeks, and then all of a sudden I'm having serious graphical glitches and "Display Driver Stopped Working.....Recovered" error messages. Problem: I used to be...

Sorry, I had a slip of the tongue there. I realize that hub's are horrible. I meant switch. Just bought a 5-port one from newegg for $5 after rebate. Gotta love newegg.

Is there a more convenient way to expand the number of wired ports one has on a wired network? I know that a quick solution is to wire two routers together and disable the DCHP on the second, but would doing something like wiring a 4 or 5 port ethernet hub to the router work as well?

I'll check by tomorrow, but I know that my usual speeds while overclocked idled around the 40s. 1) I'll definitely give everything a once-over inside the case. 2) They're just part of a raid storage array, but as this is my first experiment with RAID and there's already a fair amount of...

Intel Core2Quad Q6600 2.4gHz @ 3.01gHz EVGA 780i SLI mobo EVGA GeForce GTX 260 core216 Rosewill Xtreme Series 950W Continuous PSU Most recent changes: Change from WinXP 32 to Win7 64 Ultimate Addition of two 1tb drives, creation of RAID array

I just took a can of air to the case and while it was a little dusty, there wasn't a whole assload of it, nor was there a sizeable decrease in temps. I'd consider reseating the cpu fan but the last time I did it was...oh, this march? And I use AS5 (properly, mind you, not the way they suggest...

To be honest I don't think so. I've a 950W psu which can peak at 1050ish for about 15sec. (From the label, anyway.) It's been happening at different times while the computer was doing different things. Once, it was during an install of a game. Another two times was while I was playing some...

Lately i've been having weird crashes. Power just shuts off. I decided to check my CPU and GPU temps, because it was something I hadn't checked in a while. Now, I know that Core Temp can be inaccurate, and I understand this. However when my old readings were in the 40s and I'm now getting...

Okay, so I used diskmgmt.msc and as it opened it pretty much asked whether or not I wanted MBR or GPT. Thanks for all your help, man. Now to start using this array, haha.

So then I'll just use the smaller drive to boot with. Is formatting the array to GPT simple to do?

Aww. You left. Anyone else around to give a guy a hand?

Then would you recommend I boot off a smaller drive and use the RAID array for storage? As in, make the array non-bootable?

Mathematically, If all of the drives are still being used, then this means that each drive is running at about 667gb. This makes no sense. Where did the 233 GB per drive disappear to?

The array has been set as bootable, if that's what you're asking. Would that take almost an entire drive's worth of space though?

Hardware: EVGA 780i SLI mobo 2x Seagate 1TB Drive, model# ST31000528AS 1x Seagate 1TB Drive, model# ST31000333AS Intel Q6600 @ 3ghz OS: Win7 Ultimate x64 Okay, essentially what I'm seeing here is that while the BIOS / Raid utility in bios sees all three drives and assigns the array to...

UPDATE: It was the motherboard. I'm currently running off of my old p5b and the 260, no problems. Time to contact EVGA for support/RMA

What do you mean? (honestly confused) I encountered this issue on first boot of the machine.

Yeah, I'm taking college physics. Sadly, I tried that already too. (Though it took longer for it to happen -_- ) It's really looking like a motherboard issue, isn't it?

But at the same time the maximum rating for that circuit in amperage is 20A. The GPU requires a 550(about)W psu and 35A minimum. I don't have another PSU at the kind of rating i need, but I'm going to try running things with the old mobo again. Probably tomorrow though. As for this current...

What I just stated above was Kirchhoff's Junction Rule. What's annoying about my PSU is that both of the 6pin plugs are on the same 20A circuit and I need at min 35A to run the GPU.

Okay, but then if they're on the same rail they don't have enough Amperage to satisfy the card's needs. Having them on different rails would mean that the amperage would increase from 20A to 40A because the resulting circuit would be in parallel. Aaaaanyway, back on topic. Any other...

Rosewill RX950-D-B I had thought it was a PSU issue but the PSU worked before the switch. I do know, however, that it is extremely close to the tolerances of the 260 in amperage. What I could try is putting the old mobo in and testing the new card... (Side note: The two 6pin power...

Sure. The first time: 1) Power on 2) Press DEL to enter BIOS 3) Check boot priority settings 4) Rearrange settings to my preference (CD>Removable>HDD) 5) Press F10, "Save settings to CMOS? Y/N" 6) Before I can press Y > Enter, Power Down. After Swapping out the 260 for the 8800 1)...

Okay, so I just recently upgraded my Video card and Motherboard. Previous: EVGA GeForce 8800 Asus p5b New: EVGA GTX 260 EVGA nforce 760i I am having two problems, one of which I have (mostly) figured out. The "error loading OS" is due to the mobo swap, as far as i can tell, and...

Heatsink/fan combo To everyone who helped me out, here was the problem. I was following the directions on how "to properly apply" AS5, but it turns out that there wasn't enough thermal paste between the sink/fan and the processor. I've decided that I'm going to apply it just like any other...

Sorry for double post, but i've decided to buy a new better fan. Any recommendations?

Yeah, I used AS5. I'm beginning to think that this fan is too much hassle for the worth. It was a bitch to get in to the case, too. What do you mean by block it off? I understand what you're saying but how would i go about doing it? psyshack: Stock fan temps under stress peaked at about...

Ok so i just swapped out my stock CPU fan for a Scythe Kama Cross. I open prime95 to put it under load and at a 20%OC the temperatures are varying between 80 and 95 degrees centigrade. I've got a feeling this is a little too warm for my tastes. Anyone have any input? CPU-Core2Quad Q6600...

I came across a damaged iPod 4G Photo/Color (not sure which, but it's not the basic 4G). Having some experience with repairing small electronics (usually cameras) I decided to see if I could figure out what the problem with this thing is. I'm guessing it was dropped, honestly. I know that it'll...

wow, bump

EVGA 750i FTW SLI ATX ASUS P5N-D L NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI MSI P7N SLI Platinum 750i Pros and cons to each mobo? I'm using a p5b (no good overclock options) and I want to upgrade. So any OC information concerning these boards would be great too. Also, I plan on SLI soon. Any...

Bump. Someone have an idea?

Is there a way to program my machine to shutdown, or go into low power mode, if core temps exceed a certain value? For instance, a command parameter that would set my computer into standby if core temps went higher than (insert value here). I'm asking this because I often run multiple...

Alright, here we go. I've got 4 clients running, one for each of my cores. And now it's time to chill out.

Okay, so then how do I join the [H]orde?

So wait, what the hell do i do to help out? And what the hell is this all about anyway? I've got this happy new computer and all i've been doing with it lately is helping GIMPS using an older copy of prime95 i was using to stresstest my OC.
