Can anyone direct me to a website that gives info on replacing motherboards. I am trying to find out if I would be able to keep my hard drives in tact or if I would have to reinstall Windows and lose my data with a different motherboard Thanks

I built my system a little over 3 years ago and had to replace the board after a year and a half. Now my computer is no longer booting up. First it would not boot up sporadically - now it just just stops/dies in the middle of the boot up and I think the board is bad. Is there a way that I can...

Doing that. thanks

I built my system 3 years ago when the AMD Athlon X2 4400+ dual core came out. I have a A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard that just died for the second time - had to replace it about 18 months ago. My nephew thinks it's better for me to wait until Nehalem comes out before redoing my system and I agree...

By the way, any opinions on the best value right now without having to sacrifice to much in performance

Thanks for info. I need to replace my CPU now so probably will not wait.

I was about to buy a new cpu and figured they would go down in price when the Quad-Core Nehalem Chips come out. Does anyone know when they will be announced? Thanks

Corkyg, This looks good. Can you tell me if I need an enclosure with it or do I just take out my internal hard drive and connect it through a SATA cable? thanks

Thanks

I ma upgrading my rig due to a bad mobo and want a really quiet PS. I am probably putting in a Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz LGA 775 Quad-Core Processor and keeping my old graphics card. I am trying to make everything as quiet as possible as I run this in the bedroom and my current...

Thanks, ihyagp. I think my mobo died. I built it 3 years ago and am going to upgrade now that I pretty much have to. I have a Thinkpad running XP Pro as was my rig. How would I know in advance if I can boot from my hard drive? Also, if I have SATA II, will that make a difference in which...

My system just stopped working and I'm still trying to figure out how to repair it. In the meantime I want to buy a case that I can use to take one of my Hitachi SATA hard drives and use it to boot up on my laptop. Can someone recommend a good external USB case that would work> TIA

Thanks everyone. Have been running Bitdefender for a week on 2 machines and like it's "unintrusiveness". Had been using ZoneAlarm and Kaspersky. Spike99- Thanks for feedback. FYI I checked "create rule" 25 times and it kept asking every time I opened the same program. I used to be able to...

I would appreciate some feedback. I am changing Security programs. Bought Kaspersky and the new one is a big hassle on my wife's Lenovo notebook. It keeps asking for "allow" time after time for the same programs. I have tried contacting them and they only refer me to FAQ's which do not answer my...
