    i5 2500k + 1TB WD HDD bundle @Microcenter B&M only

    I couldn't resist this awesome deal either, despite the horrible reviews of the drive at Newegg. Luckily, I still had an unopened 2500K I purchased less than a month ago. I sent my friend who lives near Microcenter (I live 45 miles away) to exchange it plus $20 for the combo deal. She also...

    Help With Mac Formatted Disks on PC

    I'm definitely not a Mac guy. The only reason I had the drives in that HFS+ format was so I could easily grab video footage from friends... who all happen to have Macs.

    Help With Mac Formatted Disks on PC

    I connected my 2TB to my friend's Mac last night. It was unable to repair the disk, but did allow limited access to the drive. What a relief. Good call nothinman. I already knew I had to blow away the partition of the 1.5TB, but disk management in Windows 7 kept giving me an error every time...

    Help With Mac Formatted Disks on PC

    I have a Samsung F4 2TB drive formatted to HFS+ by MacDrive for use in an external enclosure. My system locks up (thanks P8P67 Pro!) during a data transfer and I have to reboot. I am unable to access the drive, getting the error "The disk structure is corrupted and unreadable" in Windows...

    Power issues ASUS P8P67 Pro & Corsair 850HX

    I had the same problem early on with my build. Every time I moved something around in the case, the 24 pin and/or 8 pin would come loose. It was really annoying.

    p8p67 pro B3 issue?

    It's not just isolated to the Pro boards. I've seen reports of freezing issues for the vanilla and deluxe boards as well.

    p8p67 pro B3 issue?

    If you're not already using the latest 1502 BIOS, try flashing it and clearing CMOS again. My P8P67 Pro has given me nothing but problems as well. I suffer from the occasional random system freeze while I'm in Windows. Microcenter has been getting B3s. I got mine there 2 weeks ago in Tustin...

    Whoops! USB Cable into Firewire Port...

    I've run some more tests, swapping another flash drive between the front and back USB ports. Data transfer speeds have been consistent. However, I did have a data transfer freeze during a test which also knocked out my keyboard and mouse. And every time those go out, I can't simply plug them...

    Whoops! USB Cable into Firewire Port...

    Already corrected the wiring. Front USB and Firwire ports seem to work fine. I have had my USB keyboard and mouse stop working a couple times while plugged into the back USB ports though.

    Whoops! USB Cable into Firewire Port...

    After months of waiting, I finally scored a P8P67 Pro for my 2600K at Microcenter last weekend. Due to my haste and lack of experience with onboard firewire, I accidentally plugged a USB cable into a Firewire port. I know I fried one of the two USB devices (flash drive) I plugged had plugged in...

    Zack and Wiki for Wii - 9.98 at Toys R Us

    3 left at the Toys R' Us on La Cienega in LA as of 1pm. Just happened to be driving by on the way home, and decided to give it a shot. Quite surprised to find a copy. Dude at the counter said a lot of people have been asking for it. Turns out they just got a shipment in a few days ago. Btw, they...
