Hi Everyone... I have a couple of these 1.8" 64GB Toshiba SSDs that I took out of a Sony Vaio Z series notebook when I upgraded them to 128GB versions. They have a normal SATA plug on them but, as you can see below, the power plug is different (the lug is in the wrong place). Would anybody...

Some very interesting statistics here 7 Months in and Windows 8 has 4.27% market share. Still being beaten out by Windows Vista. Which is kinda sad, really.

Hi everyone... I started at a new job two weeks ago as the sysadmin at a small software company (13 people) and the owner had domain admin rights on his account because, in his words, he loves to "tinker" with the systems, and look at everyones files etc. He knows enough to break something but...

Last night I was getting kicked out of D3 every 5 minutes (or less) with the error "You have been removed from the game" - Error 3007. I read somewhere that it had something to do with TCP and UDP timings and you should adjust them in your router. The POS ADSL router I was using had no...

...to connect a SAS drive using an ordinary SATA cable and SATA power cable. He did this by cutting the relevant sides of both plugs off so they could be plugged in. Here's the rather predictable result:

Hi Guys... got an odd issue with my 5 month old Dell U2412M monitor that just started happening in the past couple of days. On some colours on the screen I get 30-40 or more dead pixels all of a sudden, but the weird thing is that if I move the picture around the screen, the dead pixels move...

Hi guys... bit of a noob question here, but this is my first foray into water cooling. I have a Corsair H60 cooler, which I've run for a few days now and it's going great, but it got me wondering. Is it ok to leave my computer powered on 24/7 while using water cooling, or is it going to quickly...

I have a pair of Corsair Vengeance 4GB ram sticks in my pc and the heat spreader has come away from one of them. It sticks back on but doesn't make good contact with the middle chips on the ram stick. I'm running them at stock 1600-8-8-8-24 in a fairly well cooled system. Is it going to be ok...

Hi Everyone... I've just recently started working at an IT company and much to my dismay we sell and promote the business and server versions of AVG antivirus. I've hinted to the boss that it may not be the best but he brushed it off. We have a staff meeting tonight and I'm probably going to...

The next time somebody asks me what's wrong in the world I'm going to point them to this article. The sheer stupidity is so complete that I'm lost for words.

My Gigabyte GTX580 started to artifact quite badly so I RMA-ed it. The original card was this one: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3625#ov which they replaced with this one: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3684#ov It runs MUCH cooler and...

Anyone know of any CPU scaling tests done with a GTX580? Thanks.

Sorry if this has been asked before... I notice that the RAM slots on the Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD5 board are 1.5 volts. Can I confirm that if I were to upgrade to this motherboard, my current RAM which is 1.65 volts would not be suitable... correct? Thanks very much.

Noob question of the day... Intel are bringing out a new chipset before too long to supersede the X58, correct? If so, anybody have a timeframe on it?

http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/computers/apple-readies-new-gadget-20091228-lh8r.html Speculation that Apple may announce the iSlate in Jan. Be interesting to see how it sells if they do announce it.

I got a PS3 for Christmas (Slimline 250GB) and I'm left wondering, what's the point of the 250GB hard drive in it? I've just discovered that the Slimline doesn't allow you to install linux (FFFFFUUUUUU), I don't seem to be able to rip my blueray movies to it, I don't seem to be able to copy the...

Hi everyone... I'm a long-time reader/first-time poster. I did a search but couldn't find any specific information so please forgive me if it's been asked before. I've been reading the [H] PSU reviews of late and I'm a bit concerned. I have an Enermax Noisetaker II 485 watt PSU...
