So I just set up a RAID0 array today of two 30GB OCZ Vertex SSDs. I tried to install Windows 7 on it, but (as I understand it), I need to install the AHCI drivers while installing 7.
Okay, so I downloaded the 64-bit drivers from here for my ICH9R chipset, but Windows 7's "Load Drivers..."...
My computer randomly turns off. It can run Prime95 for 15 min without incident, and it can bittorrent all night long, but it randomly turns off.
Generally this happens while doing a non-CPU intensive activity like watching TV shows.
After it turns off (as if it was unplugged, no Windows...

Hey.
I'm looking at potentially modding my Antec 900 with red lights. I was wondering: is there a difference in shade of Red between, say this and this? And what about this?
Has anyone had experience with this? Is it really worth worrying about, or will any configuration of reds work...
Hello.
I'm looking at purchasing a Q9550 soon for a new gaming rig, but I don't want to pay more for it than I have to... obviously.
Is there any rhyme or reason to the Intel price cuts? Does anyone forsee one occurring before the release of Nehalem, or may there not even be one then...
In light of the recent Dell monitor blowout , many of us (including I) have wished there was some automated program for monitoring Dell monitors for price changes.
