So I went into the BIOS and switched the SATA controller from AHCI to IDE and it recognized the full size of the drive. I then switched it back to AHCI and it still recognized the full drive so I thought I was all good. I copied a bunch of stuff over to the new HDD but when I restarted my...

I used ATATool to get this information about the drive:

Disk Management shows it as one single 1.69~TB drive. It is partitioned using GPT (GUID). The HDD is connected directly to my motherboard via SATA. I even tried using the port and cable that the correctly recognized 4TB HDD is using and still no dice. Device Manager says that I'm using the...

So I recently purchased a Seagate ST4000DM005 4TB HDD and Windows 7 Disk Management is only recognizing the drive as 1677.90 GB. However I have a Western Digital WDC WD40EZRZ 4TB HDD that I've had for almost two years and Disk Management recognizes it as 3725.90 GB. I tried downloading Seagates...

I just got a Radeon HD 6870 for Christmas and I'm having some trouble getting it working. I put it into my PCI-E slot and then connected to my TV through HDMI. My TV was displaying "no signal", so I went into my BIOS and enabled my onboard video to stay on even with a GPU attached so that I...

I reset my BIOS to the defaults and tried the ram in every configuration I could. I got it get to the Windows loading screen but it would just hang at that point.

Yea. I pulled the old ones out and out the news ones in and my computer wouldn't boot. It would show the initial screen where can press DEL to get into the BIOS and all that could stuff, but then it'd just restart. Thats when I put the old ones back in and looked up that the new ram isn't...

I'm using a GIGABYTE GA-H55M-UD2H and Intel i5-655k and I'm trying to upgrade my ram. I got a pair of G.SKILL F3-10666CL9D-16GBXL 8GB sticks, but I didn't do my homework right and apparently they aren't compatible with my motherboard. I'm currently running two G.SKILL F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL 2GB...

I built myself a new computer last year and I've mainly just been using it browsing and watching videos, mostly 720p stuff encoded in x264. I've been using the integrated GPU and it's mostly been doing the job pretty well but sometimes the video is a little jerky, especially when I try to play...
