IT WORKED!!! thanks everyone

if I have a Western Digital HD.. is it the Data Lifeguard Diagnostic I need to get?

Just bought a new hard drive, installed it correctly, windows detected it and installed the drivers. But I don't see it in My Computer... although the device manager sees it. So I open the case and realize I forgot to set the jumper.. only thing is... the hard drive didn't have a jumper...

I was wondering if the AC Ryan Blackfire4 Case fan is good.. does anyone have one / can tell me how it performs?? I was also wondering, if I was to plug it into a sunbeam fan controller, would I be able to lower just the fan speed, not the lights? i'm asking because this fan does that, only...

I cleared the CMOS this morning, then when I tried to plug the cathodes only.. they lit up (both of them) but it was only a small part of the cathodes that actually worked (it's like.. half the cathode was illuminated but not the rest) I then tried to plug in both the cathode and the HD, it...

do you think the 2 molex connectors that are plugged on the same "line" are damaged? because my LCD temp monitor still works.. does that only verify the 12v line too?? should I try plugging something else (I need to figure out what) on one or both of the connectors???? Do you think that...

I don't think a change of power supply would make a difference.. since the molex connector works with other stuff I plugged in The cathodes are not plugged in right now I haven't tried clearing the CMOS, would that make a difference?

I was installing some sunbeam neons in my computer and when I tried to power up the pc.. well.. the neons didn't work.. and I heard some weird beep codes. So.. I power off the pc, unplug the neons, try to plug it like it was before, still beeped. I take off the molex from my IDE HD. It boots...

I have a really weird problem... Every night, if my computer is running, almost everytime around 10pm, I hear some weird beeping sound. It sounds something like this : Beep,chirp,chirp,Beep So.. the next day I disconnected the SPKR cable from the motherboard and of course.. the BIOS...

So should I just solder it back on? is there a certain way I need to put it back on?? like I can see they are 2 small pins on it.. do the pins need to be aligned somewhere?? damnit :(

I was cleaning up my X800XL 256mb heatsink this morning and I noticed something was wrong with one of the transistors (I think that's the name for it.. don't know though). It was all bent towards me.. and I know I didn't do it.. since I was really careful and while trying to put it back into...

Hey! I currently have 5 fans in my case (1 120mm front, 1 120mm back, 1 120mm on the side, 1 80 on top and one 80 on the lowest part of the case) Thing is... my motherboard has only two 3 pin connectors (2 SYSFAN connectors, one CPUFAN and one NBFAN) and one of my 80mm fan is plugged in...

Hi guys I was messing around my comp one day and I realized my CDRW tray was opened a little bit.. tried opening it by pressing on the button but it wouldn't do anything.. I then tried to put a pin the emergency hole.. no luck.. it wouldn't matter how hard I would press down.. it wouldn't...

Is it normal when I run a program like SpeedFan or Everest or MSI Core Center the CPU fan RPM indicator usually goes like this : 0 RPM 2654 RPM 0 RPM 2347 RPM ....

I Think I did mount it wrong.. i'll check on it tomorrow but.. do you know any good cpu fan? because I want something quiet and really good at the same time and can't seem to find anything :/
