    IDE drive recognition issues

    For some reason, my computer detects my two hard drives as my Third IDE Master/Slave and my CD-R drive as Fourth IDE Master. This confuses me, because it did not detect this way when I had just one HDD. Does anyone know what's going on?

    Computer Freezing in games

    During an overnight session of 3dmark 03, my CPU temperature went no higher than 50c. I will try using the normal Catalyst 3.7 drivers, but I believe it happened a few times when I had Catalyst 3.6.
