So... I built this system a week or so ago.... http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1396869 You can see that I had some hdd problems, and I'm waiting for an rma for a dead hdd from newegg. Anyway, I have had the system up and running for about a week on an old sata hdd I had lying...

Well, apparently my motherboard bought the farm while I was away in China for 2 weeks. It won't fully process the bios, it never gets to the point where it should load windows. As this is an older AMD 939 platform, I see little use trying to replace the motherboard alone just to keep the 4400...

Howdy all, I have an odd problem. I have a laptop that does not want to connect to the internet. I am connecting the laptop using a cable, not wirelessly (I have no wireless router). I get a LAN connection but then get that stupid message about "limited connectivity" (ie. you have no internet...

I saw this advertised yesterday, was given a verbal guarantee, then, of course, they cancelled...

I'm looking for a LCD stand for my monitor at work that will allow me to rotate the monitor from portrait to landscape. My monitor is a 24" LCD that is about 9 kg (20 lb). I am having a really hard time finding anything online for this size and was hoping someone here might have some experience...

Just need one for a Q3 server. Probably nothing higher than a 6800. No nVidia 5500's or 5200, or any of that type of garbage. Something relatively decent please. Thank you.

I realize this isn't a "disk" storage type, but this forum seemed the most logical place for this question. I'm looking into a DLT IV drive for daily backup operations where I work. We currently have a 4mm tape drive that is long in the tooth, and short in the capacity. To rectify this, I'm...

I have a 24" CRT based on the sony fw900 tube, and it has a bit of a problem. It likes to go to sleep (or standby, or whatever it's called) at any random time. Surfing the web. gaming, whenever, it just decides that it's going into standby. Sometimes as this is about to occur, the monitor acts...

Do you suppose this could be a problem for my video card? Maybe this is the issue for more than just my 7900 GTX card... Crappily attached capacitors. I certainly didn't manhandle mine when I installed it.

I see that there's a 23" LG LC2300C on sale for $519 shipped here (after a rebate): http://www.pcconnection.com/ProductDetail?Sku=6120370&SourceID=k2315&afsrc=1 Does anyone have any experience with this LCD? I'm sure it's probably crap for gaming, but... you never know, and for that price...

So... we have a Raid 10 setup using 4 HDD's. These HDD's are "named" 0,1,2 and 3. 0 and 1 are in one "subunit" and 2 and 3 are in a second "subunit" on the controller card. HDD #3 is experiencing read/write failures and a check via a utility program (powermax) confirms that that HDD needs to...

I'm trying to put together a small server for my workplace. It has a Tyan mobo that we've put a 3Ware sata raid card on. I can get into the raid setup and configure the drives into a raid setup but when I try to install w2k it says that it can't find a hdd. Ideas?

This may well be impossible, but I'll ask anyway. I'm looking toward getting a 4400+ x2 cpu as well as (someday) getting into SLI. The video card I'm looking at is the 512mb version of the 7800 gtx which, as we all know, is a dual slot card. My question is: Is there any decent motherboard out...

First, look at the pic of the CPU Utilization: http://www.meche.net/cpu.jpg What's happening is that about every second the cpu utilization goes from around zero to around 40% then back to zero, etc. (I put the refresh on fast in that picture). There's nothing really running that should be...

Does anyone know how to change the way drives and folders are set up in the "My Computer" folder in Windows XP (back to original settings)? Somehow (probably when my 18 mo. old son was messing with the keyboard), the format was changed so it just looks like any other folder in windows. The...

I believe that there should not be a problem running a Opteron 265 (dual core) with windows 2000, but can someone validate this assumption and also tell me what will be lost (not used, missed out on, etc.) by only using W2k? This is a server application and I don't have the budget to buy Win...

I'm building a new server for the company I work for (small ~20 people), and I want it to use a dual core Opteron chip. Problem is, the management is hot and heavy on Dell because of their "3 year onsite "within 24 hour" support" and I know Dell sucks. I called in an attempt to find out what...

I realize that this topic has been beaten to death here, however after searching through all the posts regarding something similar to my particular application, I still don't think I have a clear answer as to what might be the right configuration. My question? Raid 0+1 (is this Raid 10?) or...

I bought a ATI 9800 Pro to replace my Ti-4600. I installed the 9800 with no problems. I ran some games and the games told me 2 things: 1) I'm using old video card drivers (for the ATI 9800 card) 2) I'm NOT running AGP I have a Giga-Byte GA-7NNXP which is 8xAGP compatible, so this...
