    Dead Pixel on Laptop screen, help!

    That doesn't look like a dead pixel. Those are many dead pixels from something smashing it. A pixel would be one of the smaller dots and this has many, many pixels in it.

    PCI-E 6+2 question

    I'm currently sleeving my own set of PSU cables (for the x650) and they have a set of 6+2 which connects to the PSU via an 8 pin, and then splits to provide 2 6+2 connectors. I assume this is fine and if so, is it ok because it's attached to an 8 pin to the PSU?

    i7 860 for HTPC/light gaming rig

    I’m thinking of building an HTPC/light gaming rig for the living room and have a spare i7 860 lying around but no motherboard for it.

    Windows stuck loading

    Sorry to bump an old topic, but this is for anyone else with a similar issue: I had to send it into ASUS for repair. They ended up replacing the mobo, so it was a hardware issue.

    Windows stuck loading

    I installe the ssd cache and still can't see the drive. I also don't have an interest in using it as a cache drive, I'd prefer to install to it as I did before.

    Thanks for the help, I finally got the bootloader issue etc worked out, so I am now booting from the 2.5" drive bay. My one question is, now that I am in windows, I cannot see the iSSD.

    Windows stuck loading

    I tapped f8 and it locked up. I swapped in original ram and hdd to no avail. I also tried swapping a sad into my desktop, installed win 7 to that, and put back in the laptop. I am now getting a boot manager missing error. Thoughts? Thanks again!

    Want to buy a rowing machine

    Concept2's are the standard. A model D and a PM3 will hold down the cost and are more than enough. You also might want to look into: http://www.waterrower.com/ If you have an interest in rowing at all, this has a better feel for rowing. You can also basically only buy them online. If you are...
