    Discs n such

    Prior to my computer rebuild my DVDRAM drive worked perfectly. Now while it still reads discs fine, I can't burn anything in said drive. Or at least, no disc-burning software recognizes it. I tried uninstalling the device, updating drivers, no dice. But I put it into my other computer and it can...

    Monitor loses connection

    Besides the fan not working, what's poor quality about my PSU model? I honestly can't remember what beeps it made, but in any case, it's not making them anymore. I know the CPU overheated, I'm just not sure what the problem could be now. You think I killed the chip then?
