Thanks for the reply. I hope your right and that its just a bad drive, cause I just spend about 2k building this new PC and I don't have the cash to replace every component in here if they all start dying on me like this.

Here are a few quick pics if anyone is interested: The damaged chip is the little one on the left. Fried Drive Here are the two 250 gig drives, side by side from the top. The scorch mark is actually on the GOOD drive. It got there because that drive was under the one that caught fire...

I had some free time this weekend, so I finally got around to setting up my 500 gigabyte raid array (or so I though). I plug the two drives in, hook em up to the raid plug on the motherboard, and turn on the PC. Everything looks OK, but then the raid controller can only see one of the drives...

Halloween bump!

I think your PC is just getting tired and wants to rest. If there is nothing wrong with the power settings, and you dont have any viruses, your PC may be overheating. I had a PC that would reboot itself after a few hours of use, and then keep rebooting every 10 minutes. Turned out the CPU was...

Thanks for the reply, but I can't get TMPGEnc to deal with .avi files, and it does not seem able to deal with many audio formats either (a lot of video files I have are in AC3) Does anyone know of a program that can rip the audio stream from just about any video file, regardless of format?

c'mon, no one knows?

I need a program that will extract the audio track from a movie, increase the volume, and replace the movie's audio track with the new louder one. I have a lot of avis from various places, and some of them have such low audio that even with my volume maxed out in windows, and speakers set to...

Why the hell does the media think that anyone who screwes up and is rescued by other people is a hero? Miners who are trapped underground and then rescued by other people are 'heroes' Lynch, who takes a wrong turn and gets herself captured, forcing the militart to send other soldiers in to save...

I have read similar studies conducted by 'womens studies groups' that have concluded that 1/4 of ALL females are sexually abused before the age of 21. Most of these studies are bullshit. Attempted rape can be defined as anything, and womens groups have extended sexual abuse to include glaring...

If you want to argue that a moument doesn't impose anything on anyone, then by the same reasoning a stanist who is running your kids school has the right to install a big monument to satan in the front lobby that says "Satan is our lord" in big letters on it. And by your same reasoning, this...

The 10 commandments are definately not religiously neutral. They clearly state that there is ONE god, and forbid the worship of false idols, which are clearly in direct contradiction with the constitution. The commandments also declare the sabbath a holy day, and in some versions name god as...

There is no roman goddess Liberta.

How is not letting a judge post something in a PUBLIC building censorship? If i march into a federal court and put a poster on the wall, it will be ripped down. Why does the judge have special free speech? Why can he post his ideas in a federal court, when I can't post mine? As far as not...
