    Gts-v or Gf2pro... present for a friend

    HD Question

    I want to install a second harddrive (as Slave) on a comp I just built. Do I have to reformat this drive? I used it as a second hard drive on my other computer and don't want to lose my files. I just want to make sure I can just plug it in my new computer. So, is it okay?

    Need help! Big problem with PC

    Might be a video card problem. Reseat your card and check it on another computer if you haven't already. I had a problem like that on my ECS k7s5a, got 8 beeps which equals a bad vid card.

    8k7a+ question
