I've had my rig for a little over 5 months now.  I've always experienced some issues with the PC (if I play a bunch of videos back to back, or skip through them in WMP, my comp crashes), but I didn't think much of them.  Within the past month, my PC has been crashing with some regularity.  Vista said it was due to the NVIDIA SATA ...

I ordered a new computer: Biostar TF8200 A2+ 4gigs RAM DDR2 800 SATA 500gig HD 8800GTX SATA DVD/CD drive 3.0Gz duel core AMD processor...   OK, so here's the scoop: I set it up, worked fine, installed Vista... then realized some SATA ports on the mobo were defective... in pulling the processor out, I bent a few pins, tried to fix ...

Currently I have two of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148136 and two of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148140   Both of them are in RAID 0 configurations and neither array is partitioned.  I've definitely noticed the statistical doubling of failure rate by using RAID 0 ...

I just recently installed a new 250GB hard drive onto my computer but it doesnt show up under 'My Computer'. It's in the device manager and the status says it's working properly but i can't access it to save onto it. All that shows up is my 2 CD drives, my old hard drive, and the removeable disk drives from my card reader. any ideas on how i can ...

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a great external hard drive that doesn't require a power source other than USB. After browsing through a few, I found http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136228 which looks excellent, but comes at a pretty steep price for its storage. Are there any others out there that you would suggest? Thanks!

I have an old 40 gb IDE hard drive from an old computer (3-4 years ago) that has a bunch of folders, files, etc. that im starting to miss. I didn't have an external at the time so i didn't back up my information. I want to retrieve this information, is it still possible to do so? My friend told me something about getting an external case w/a usb ...

Hi! Is it possible to clone two HDD in RAID 0 configuration? Thinking of upgrading the HDD without having to re-install all programs. Thanks!

 Today, as a gift, I received a Western Digital drive with a 16 mb cache.(  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136074&Tpk=wd3200aaks  ) I've been looking to buy a new HD for a while and in particular I was looking at some seagate drives with a 32 mb cache. The size of the drive isn't that important to me ...

Hello, I just bought a 500 gig internal harddrive from Newegg. It is the Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 Ultra ATA100 drive. For some reason, when I connected the new drive, it was showing up as having a capacity of 127 gigs, not 500 (or 465 after format). I'm not very tech savy, but I thought I would be able to handle replacing a hard drive. This is ...

Hello, my friend you see has been gaving some issues with his computer lately. At first he told me that none of the programs he installed would work, and hes been using this computer for about a month now. I told him to bring it over my house so I can take a look at it. When I was in there all of the program icons were gone, cmd wouldn't work, ...

I've been building systems for a long time and this one is totally new to me (and driving me nuts).  I can't find any mention of anything like this via Google.  Here's what's happening... I just built my own system, containing an Antec EarthWatts 500W power supply (and a relatively old FoxConn Pentium 4 Motherboard).  I hooked ...

I am building a new PC and my intended OS HDD was not detected by the Vista installer (the SATA pre-boot driver was loaded from FDD just fine).  BIOS recognizes the drive (AHCI mode), but with truncated model# - ST33206 - weird since my other Seagate drives always show full model#’s.  I then pre-formatted the drive with a ...

I just bought a new pc (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229012) and so far there is only one problem, now and then (it's only happened twice so far) the whole system will freeze like clockwork every 3 seconds. A reboot usually fixes it, but I'd love to know the source of the issue and take it out of the equation.  So ...
