thx for the attempt, but sorry Cerb, i don't get it. unless NAND ware leveling is dependent on a Trim compatible OS, then i just don't see how secure erasing would be relevant at all. I understand Trim is unsupported by xp. I thought NAND leveling occured independent of the OS and trim...

despite all the warnings for hdparm taken directly from the man page quoted bellow. my first assumption would be hdparm was not made for modern SSD's. to me personally, unless someone explains in greater detail, i fail to see how secure erasing a SSD is relevant at all to your goal... An SSD...

what i did once for a laptop back in the day when vendors were trying to phase out XP by not providing drivers for some components but only vista/7, is go to a different vendors support site for perhaps a diff brand but uses the same chip/chipset, and use there driver. have not looked into it...

I'd think, the fact that only his desktop has the issue and he already tried bypassing his home network with no change.. would rule out Both his ISP and home network. I dunno what OS ur using or apps ur using, but Flash is one of the common things most ppl use that would be synonymous across...

seems most of your components have encountered some sorta fault now. maybe worth while to replace PSU along with it, instead of risking PSU having been the root cause and damaging the new board. or Fuk it all and wait till u can update your entire system, if u wana be more economical that...

IF its not simply a mistake like mechBgon mentioned, and he doesn't know a simpler way than bellow... yeah i noticed that to even in xp, if its not the main exacutable trying to run during application launch it may just fail after launch due to other libraries its trying to access and not...

If the issue is isolated now only to your games, perhaps try running your game with audio disabled completely through device manager(or just pull the card if its not onboard). reboot and see if you then encounter any issues with the game

I'd start by checking if /indexing is turned off for that disk. I really don't know all the symptoms of indexing never looked it up, i always just disable it tho. and also which usb port your connecting it to and which cable your using, before assuming anything bad actually with the drive itself.

dunno but i do believe 2 sticks of higher capacity always ran better than 4 sticks on those old mem controllers. my first guess would be they are not identical, even if they have the same model number the chips can differ. especialy since your ram is old, i would find it doubtful a replacement...

sorry about the BAT, im not familiar with win7, didn't know it would do that. but SRP basically works like this.. its goal is.. If u #Execute from a dir(ex. %PROGRAMFILES% ) you cannot #Write to the dir If u #Write to the dir(ex. %APPDATA% ) you cannot #Execute from the dir The...

dunno but a random thought.. you using any surge protector? you verified an issue by replacing gfx, then u verifyed another issue swaping and then replacing HDD, sounds like theres more then one component thats being affected here, perhaps a surge occured, or possibly a lethal fault from a...

nothing personal dude, but you do not and should not use a boot manager to boot a clone. The only reason the clone didn't boot for you on this last test run was because your original cloning procedure had mistakes which ended up getting cloned since you lost the original win7 bootloader and or...

I did make a mistake ill clearify down bellow, however doesn't change the fact the recovery partition is gone. OEM Recovery partitions are usually much larger than ~2Gb, IIRC old xp oem's may average ~10GB, would make me assume win7/8 oem recovery partitions maybe anywhere from 20~50GB. Im...

dunno but would guess its a driver issue since sounds like your describing hardware acceleration issues. I dunno these days but in the past some games or applications would sometimes come bundled with there own d3d dll's that were sometimes optional, if one of your got changed to an incomatable...
