    To toss this board or not to,that is the question.

    Hmm, I would imagine with the number of problems you have with that board that they are related. I would take a guess and say there is a common denominator, possibly a faulty voltage circuit or something, maybe one area on the PCB that has a malformation causing all the erratic problems.

    Best Headphone Recommendations

    Yes there are much better out there, but for less than 30 shipped I haven't run across its equal or better (yet, but not actively looking) It's not forgiving of a bad recording, sometimes the bass can be a bit muddy, and has some annoying sibilance at louder volumes. I bought my son a...

    Best Headphone Recommendations

    You'd do well with the Monoprice cans, I have them and a pair of semi expensive A-T's, and compared to them and mid grade Senns I used to have I found them to be a very good deal. Edit: plus they come with a nice long cord along with the thinner 4-5 foot one.

    hard drive won't show up in windows

    I was thinking along that line too, when I was in the "create new disk" portion of Acronis it showed the good hard drive I had the OS on as "Primary Slave" and the one I was having problems with as "Primary Master" ?? I just installed it in my server as the OS drive and it showed up...

    I just downloaded WD's Acronis on the DB43LD computer with the working twin drive, added the uncooperative drive to it, ran Acronis disk clone and no joy, when it would reboot it would go into the screen where the copy should take place but it was blank, after entering windows it didn't do...

    hard drive won't show up in windows

    Boards: Intel DP55KG Asus PQ5-Pro Intel DB43LD It wouldn't be the controller, I swapped the drives around and all other drives I have work, it is definitely the one particular drive.

    I have two identical WD 2.5" 500 Gb Black hard drives and one refuses to show up when I attempt to install windows 7 on it. Both of the hard drives will show up in the Bios, however one will not appear when I get to the screen to select a drive when installing windows 7 (Ult. 64 bit)...

    Need someone to listen...

    That's great news Jeff, modern medicine has come a long way over the years. My 4 year old grandson was 3 months premature, the day he was born he weighed in at 3 pounds 1 ounce. After three months in the neonatal unit he was strong enough to come home. Despite the extremely rough start he got...

    Hey Bud, sounds like you have a lot on your plate. (and also sounds like you are managing it just fine too) I just started getting back on the forums again and thought I would look you up to see how you have been and where you ended up, the last time we corresponded you were either still in...

    the best damn wifi router money can buy!

    Other than setting up separate SSID's to distinguish the 2.4 from 5.0 and password encryption, no. My son plays the new COD with PS3 and when I first set up the router he complained about being booted several times from the server he was playing on, that's what prompted me to update the...
