    BSOD, stop error 0x00000124

    The problem might be file corruption of some of your system files. I would run a through chkdsk and you might want to try to uninstall itunes and re-install.

    Computer Used to Work Fine

    What kind of power supply you have? You might want to consider to replace your power supply because it is not providing enough juice to your computer.

    Time to transfer some data

    I would remove the first 500gb hd and put in the 1tb hd. Format the 1tb hd and copy the data over from the 500gb. Afterwards, swap out the 500gb hd for the other 500gb and copy over to the 1tb hd. Note that this has to be done in windows. In order to copy the OS over from the 160gb hd to...

    redoing raid without formatting?

    You will have to delete the data and recreate the raid. I would get an disc imaging software like acronis, ghost or other hd imaging software on a cd and an external usb hard drive. Boot up the imaging software, and imaging the your hard drive into the external usb hard drive. Afterwards...

    When Is Anandtech Going To Expose Gigabyte's Failure To Support Its Products?

    Perhaps the problem is with the 680i chipset and not Gigabyte. Not alot of manufacturers are making motherboards with this chipset rather than intel's.

    When installing a new processor

    I've swapped out an old motherboard with a dual core cpu and motherboard. Before I do I had to change my ide drivers to generic drivers (which you don't have to do) and copied the i386 directory from the winxp cd onto my c:\ drive. After your swapped out the board and booted with the same hard...

    Used old CPU - do they just go drop dead one day, or do they deteriorate and get slower and slower?

    Chances your other components will die first before your CPU, like your motherboard. By then, it is probably better to just replace the whole thing. However, these solid state capacitors motherboards might change that.

    Emergency! Computer won't start...

    It might sound stupid but try to boot up with the fewest parts as possible. Just the motherboard, cpu, memory, video card and nothing else. It could also be your 520w power supply not supplying enough juice to the 8800 gts so see if you can try using a lower end video card. If using a lower...

    Computer is not powering on.

    Motherboard problems are hard to diagnose. I would try to reseat all the components and see what happens. I would also try to plug in as few devices as possible to the computer to see if it boots up, remove hard drives and cdrom drives, and perhaps use another cheaper video card, which...

    P4C800-E Deluxe suddenly refuses to recognize ONLY Maxtor HD's!!

    Sometimes internal ATA cards are referred as scsi controllers because it uses not a native ATA controller in the controller. Another thing with hard drives is that sometimes they seem to be working but they would not, and won't be detected by the bios. Last thing I would check is the power...
