Got a new Corsair 650w PSU. Everything is now working perfectly. I guess now I know PSU's can act all weird like that. Thanks for the help.

Testing some more... I think it may be the power supply. Sometimes the hard drives will power up, sometimes they won't.

I ended up using a high def media player to do this kind of thing. Some are really cheap. Much easier to use than having to burn a dvd whenever you want to change the pictures.

Okay, I'll try the cmos reset. Gotta look up how to update the firmware.

I've done that. I can unplug all hard drives and the dvd drive and it won't get to bios consistently. Sometimes it will. :-/

Forgive the following story, but this is the weirdest set of computer issues I've ever had. Okay, so my old computer died and I ended up building a system with the Sandy Bridge 2500k and an Asus P8P67. I also got new RAM, Corsair 6gb, and a new Intel X25-m 80gb SSD. I used my old power...

So this is what happened to me... I ordered online at around 1:45 AM when someone at another forum noticed that you could add the 2500k to your cart. Ordered that and the Asus P8P67 mobo. The Microcenter in Tustin, CA is 30 minutes away. At 10:30am, I still hadn't gotten the confirmation...

Building my new Sandy Bridge system. Mobo has SATA 6.0 connections. I have a new Intel X25-m SSD drive. Should I connect it with the SATA 6.0 connections?

For gaming, running Windows 7 (on an ssd), which do you think would perform better: 6gb 1600 (3 x 2gb) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231225 or 8gb 1333 (2 x 4gb) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231311

Yes, it's true, this cooler sounds like a freaking hairdrier. I'm a newbie at this stuff, so this may be a dumb question, but can I replace just the fan and get comparable performance? Or is it just better to get a whole new cooler? If I can replace the fan, which would be a good, relatively...

I just put together an AMD 1.2 ghz system with an Abit KT7 mobo, micron cas3 ram (256), and asus geforce2 gts 32mb (windows 98se). I ran the default 3DMark 2000 and I got a score of 6500 with a CPU score of 485. Those seem low. Especially the CPU score. So... the question is, are those scores...
