    Weird lines on MSO programs after waking from sleep - AMD 7970HD

    Hey guys - stumped on this... Since upgrading to the 7970HD, whenever I wake the monitor from sleep I see the lines (shown in the image below) mostly on MS Office programs. It may affect others - but since I use Office a lot - this is where I've noticed it the worst. The lines will (usually)...

    Problem with SSD - Can't secure erase using Intel Toolbox

    I emailed Intel and their suggestion was (surprisingly)* similar to razel's. They told me to do a "clean all" under the DOS shell - but not via the command prompt. Basically I disconnected everything but a DVD drive and the drive to be cleaned, inserted the Win 7 disk & fired it up. At the...

    Whether MOBO or SSD is failing?

    Great idea. So, a bit more info: When the problem first occurred, it would not boot x 3 (Disk read errors, et. al. above.) BIOS showed the Intel SSD as present, but still getting the error. Then suddenly I get past the POST screen & windows starts to load. Only, it ain't WIN 7... it's...

    Whether MOBO or SSD is failing?

    Hi all... How can I determine whether a "Disk Read Error" "Device Verify" and "S.M.A.R.T." failures are SSD or Mobo related? I know that these often indicate the drive is the culprit, but I want to be sure its not the mobo before I rma the drive. Advice? SYS: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400...
