I have a dual-Xeon system with 2 Intel Xeon E5-2686-V3 cores or 2 X 18 = 36 cores total. I was using a Supermicro mobo MBD-X10DRI Extended ATX Server Dual LGA 2011 R3 Intel C612. But it failed after 18 months and never recognized the installed GeForce video card. I am looking for a...

I have a LAN with 1 Win 10 system and 4 Win 7 systems, all Ethernet. All are on a workgroup called Workgroup. I just updated Win 10 system from version 1607 to version 1703. Although the Win 10 system can still see shared folders on the Win 7 systems, the reverse is no longer true. When I try to...

I got that wrong about programs asking for Admin permission. The problem, which is just as bad, is the Windows UAC constantly asks to be allowed to open progams. I could drop UAC to the lowest level to avoid that, but then would not have any UAC protection.

Your solution appears to have worked when I entered from System1: "system2\.." and not "\\system2\.." nor "\system2\..." BTW, if your methodology is still working tomorrow after reboots, then you are the only one on the net who has solved this thorny Win 7 share issue over the last 10 days. I...

I was using double backslashes, as required, for the system name. Should I be using 1 backslash for the system name?

Of the 3 Win 7 Systems, #1, 2, and 3, the shares on System 3 can be seen by all the other systems and System 3 can see all the other shares. However, between System 1 and 2 there is a problem: although no password is required (after reboot), for System 1 to see System 2, System 1 must log in...

Ken, thanks for the tip. I will try it tomorrow. Since my system will be running O/C almost all the time (if I can figure out how to use the AI Tweaker to do an O/C), I don't see a reason to have it run severely underclocked ever.

Yuriman, thank you for the response. I realize that when I put the chip under load, it will go to the correct speed. However, I want to change whatever setting in the BIOS (or Windows 7) that is causing the underclock. I want to have the system run at stock speed before I start the O/C.

I'm a complete newbie to O/C. I have the ASUS Sabertooth X79 with Intel i7 3930K chip. Before I started to O/C, I check stock speed. Imagine my surprise when I found this stock 3.2 GHz chip was shown in CPU-Z as having a "Core Speed" = 1200 MHz; Multiplier = 12.0; Bus speed = 1000 MHz; QPI...

The two systems having problems are both Win 7, Home Premium. How would I map a folder using different credentials and make it persistent. Even though I check the box to do that, on the next reboot the username/password are again asked for.

I have a LAN with 4 systems: three Win 7 and one XP Pro. I have removed the Homegroup. All the systems can see each other and access a shared folder with the exception of System1 and System (both Win 7), which require a user name/password to access the shared folder on the other system...

Bryan, your post was extremely helpful and will enable me to make the right decision (probably go with WD Caviar Black.) Proposed system components to be built for me: Cooler Master HAF 912 Mid Tower ATX Case (RC-912-KKN1) Noctua NH-D14-2011 Dual Radiator Cooler with PWM fans, LGA2011 only...

I have settled on 1 Intel 510 series 120 GB SSD; 1 SAMSUNG 830 Series 64GB SSD. However, the HD is tough to choose. I want a 750 GB- 1TB drive, reliable and reasonably quiet. After much research, I had settled on the Western Digital Caviar Black series but many reviewers say "too loud." Thanks...

Thanks for the summary. I will be getting a 1 TB drive instead of the 500 GB drive I originally chose. I'll take a look at the WD Caviar Black 1 TB drive.

Have you read anywhere that the WD Caviar Black are any better (more reliable; longer warranty) than the WD Caviar Blue? The Black certainly cost more than the Blue.
