One day when rebooting a windows update it all went to BSOD hell (random errors, never the same each time). Linux will not boot with random IRQ sync errors. Bootable OS on CD will only boot to completion 5% of the time, and then just halt. I managed to run memtest with [...]
Yeah bwoiee.
I have no idea what possessed me to do this, but I bought a 300x CF card and a CF-to-IDE adaptor to use it with, then I set it to be my Z: drive and put a 1.8GB pagefile on it. I figured it would benefit from the virtually-nonexistent random seek times that FLASH [...]
So, my brother was telling me that his son fell asleep with his Gateway laptop running. He ended up getting a bunch of 2nd degree burns on his arms where the fan was blowing out. Now, I know laptops are hot, but that is nuts.it happens. pretty common on dell and macs.

Ok, itunes fucked up my music again. I have backed up all my music but all my ratings and etc are gone. So I am done with the nvidia raid that I have previously used. So I have two options. I’ll be reusing my 2 320gb hd
Build a seperate system, run windows server or linux [...]
think it probably is but just to confirm..
when I try and load a video my screen goes blank on/off and the CPU hits 100% usage. If I leave the video running the blank screens become more occurent until the PC hangs/reboots.
pretty similar to this guy really
but my PC doesn’t need a better PSU [...]
So, I should be getting around $5,500 in a subsidized tuition loan that I do not need. I was thinking about selling my current (highly outdated) HTPC and building a new one when the money comes in.
I can’t really reuse any of my current parts other than my PCI Wireless-G card. I also will be [...]
Mobo: Intel DG35EC
RAM: 2×1G Corsair Twin-x 800MHz
CPU: E2180
I picked up another Twinx pair today, 2×2G 800MHz. When I added the new RAM the system booted up reporting one of the 1G sticks as 256MB. I have the newest BIOS.
If I swap the 2G sticks to channel B with the 1G sticks in channel A [...]

So I see on Seagate’s website that there is now a 1.5TB Barracuda 7200.11 SATA-II drive (ST31500341AS). I tried looking for a US release date and only found a place taking pre-orders in the UK and they stated "August." Anyone here know any of the US release?
I could use some larger drives soon this is [...]
for home media server
needs to have 8 ports
<$300 ?
i noobed myself by trying to let the mobo handle the raid.mobo raid from most consumer mobos is fail and aids.
the only mobos that do decent raid are server-grade boards.here’s my recommendation… assuming you mean SATA-II and you have a PCI-Ex4/8/16 slot available.
