Ok, I got new Jraid drivers from JMicron and that stopped the rebooting. WOOT! Thanks, guys. Though the game still crashes. Event viewer says

I don't see any recent memory dumps in minidump. Ran the first 4 tests in memtest86 last night successfully but then turned it off cause I had to go to sleep. It has been awhile since I've cleaned out my case. I'll go clean out my case right now. Oh and last night after a crash, I...

So the PSU is what's specifically causing my problems? Is there any other way a system will reboot by itself like mine does?

Hey, I'm running into problems with my system. It randomly reboots like once every few months. I didn't think that was a big problem but recently I've been doing some pretty system intensive gaming with Bioshock. I've only been playing a day and the system has reset itself two times while...

http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=205247 Yeah, same solution described here, but it didn't work. :( I guess I'll got look for a new IDE cable tomorrow.

Hmm. Nope. When I disable the third one my disk drive disappears from my computer. It also won't let me disable the second secondary drive. Hmm. It seems the two Intel SATA controllers control two things. The 2 port one controls the IDE port and the black SATA port next to it. The 4...

Ok, I went into Device manager and opened up the tab for my IDE devices and this is what i see: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/DesertChicken/ide2.jpg The second Primary and Secondary channels say they're running Ultra DMA mode 5. The third Secondary channel, even though its setting...

Hey, I have an 8X dvd RW drive attatched to my MSI P965 Neo motherboard and I've been experiencing really slow install times when I use dvd's to install games. When I installed company of heroes the music that the installer plays came out all garbled. Whenever I insert a new cd or dvd, hte...

If you want to benchmark, and you have to choose a WW2 game, I'd go for CofH. It's showing up in alot of gaming sites' best graphics awards and there's an option in the menu to benchmark your system against a recorded sequence. In terms of other FPSs I'd say Prey, FEAR, Half Life 2...

Thanks, what's the diference between dynamic and basic drives?

I have a MSI P965 Neo motherboard and am trying to connect an 80gb and 160gb hard drive to it. However, neither have jumpers and when I plug them in, both show up as masters in the BIOS. How do I get 1 to show up as a slave? EDIT: Ok, my friend told me there's no such thing as master/slave...

Hah, I could do a tape job and run the wire up there to plug it in whenever I needed it.

Yeah, but the jack is on the center speaker sitting on top of my monitor, which is 3 feet away from the mic input jack.

Hooray info :) Thanks. My motherboard has 3 inputs, 1 for speakers, 1 for a mic and the blue one in between. The CMI extension gives me 2 extra sockets for my 5.1 sound. What's that extra blue socket for? Also, I just bought a mic-headset with two jacks. The mic is working fine, but is...

I know what the names are, what does adjusting Wave, SW Synth, Mono In, CD Player, Aux, Line In do respectively?
