    Computer Dying

    Well, I think it was the hard drive, my computer was operating fine but the drive wasn't. But what's the point of SMART on a hard drive it it doesn't list when the drive is failing? While it listed 0 errors on the smart logg the drive was infact garbage.... Anyway, thanks for any help.

    Computer Dying

    My ROM drives didn't show up at all. I replaced the hard drive with a 40gb ATA 100 seagate and now the computer works perfectly. The seagate is actually infact, running way faster than the 160gb western digital SATA 3.0. I still need to do some more testing to figure out weather it was...

    Computer Dying

    Okay, so I scanned the hard disk with hd tune at maximum settings and found no errors. The SMART log also list no errors, so I think its coming from the motherboard. I also moved my hard drive and dvd/cdrom drive over to my Silicon image 3132 controllers that are on the board. After doing so...

    Stay with 2GB or go to 4GB?

    Howdy, I've been debating if I should install 2 extra GBs (1GB x 2 dimms) to my system. I currently have 2 GB already. This is the issue, I'm using DDR1 and I have a dual channel memory controller. However, if I install more than two dimms (like 4) the performance degrades from DDR400 to...
