I tried using IE. Same result. As to the two posts, of course I blame Steelseries. Their mouse is the problem. After doing some searches I see that many others have reported almost identical problems with the Ikari. I feel I should warn others that their site doesn't work, and that they...

Don't go with the Ikari (or any Steelseries product) unless you don't mind the fact that they have no customer support, and there are numerous reports of problems with double-clicking problems with them, as I recently found out myself. My Ikari's mousewheel recently started sending multiple...

I would second this. Avoid Steelseries unless you consider the mouse disposable after the warranty runs out. That's assuming you can even get an RMA from them, which I doubt. My Ikari Laser just crapped out after about 18 months. I created an account on their site, and whenever I try to go...

Ok, the problem seems to have fixed itself somehow. After booting into safe mode to check the event log, i found no errors, and after rebooting again the problem still existed. After rebooting twice more (hard resets), it just suddenly started working again. Hopefully it keeps working long...

I've got a Dell Dimension 9150 running Win Server 2003 R2 that has suddenly started having video problems. I say video problems only because I'm not sure how else to describe the issue. Basically the monitor stays in standby/powersave mode once it boots into windows. The BIOS screens and...

Yeah. I'm gonna start backing stuff up and get the drive ready for RMA. The second drive is never the one that drops out of the boot order, just the WD drive. Since it is my OS drive, that probably explains the spontaneous reboots.

Been running Memtest86+ for a few hours, it's on pass 6 now. Not sure how much longer it will run. It's apparently just running whatever the default set of tests is. Are there any other tests or options in it that I should have it run? If the memory checks out, then that pretty much leaves...

Ok, looks like I'll be testing my HD again and my RAM as well. I wish I had a way to test the PSU too. Thanks for the advice. I'll report back after I get it done.

Ok, I've experienced 3 more spontaneous reboots in the past 24 hours. The WD drive hasn't disappeared from the BIOS settings any of these last 3 times. Each time I went into the BIOS as it rebooted and checked, and each time it was there and still set as the boot drive. So the main issue now...

I checked the connection a little while ago. It seems to be connected fine. The cable came brand new with the motherboard. I'll see if I can find another one to switch it out, but I'm doubting that that's the problem.

My C partition is on the WD drive. I ended up reformatting and reinstalling when I replaced my motherboard. Didn't lose any data since I was able to back up what I needed from the C drive by using a BartPE disc, and my other partitions were still intact.

Well... I thought I'd come back and follow up on this. I replaced my motherboard and everything went fine for a couple of weeks. Then it happened again. This time I was near the PC when it happened. I had just been browsing the web and went to grab a drink. As I was coming back to the room...

PSU is an Antec TruePower Trio 650W

I borrowed another XP CD from my stepdad, so I've tried 3 different XP CDs now. I haven't tried a full format yet, so I'll try that next, if I can get my keyboard and mouse to respond during the boot sequence. Right now they aren't responding at all. No lights, nothing. They worked up until...

Not sure if it's the same error message or not. The first set of numbers inside the parenthesis are different on mine from that article, but not sure if that matters. I do have only one drive hooked up right now, and the installation seems to go fine, until after reboot I get this message.
