    Can my computer handle a 2tb HDD?

    My Seagate 1.5tb is starting to make the tick of death noise. I will be buying a 2tb HDD to replace it but wasnt sure if there will be any problems with my motherboard or windows being able to recognize this size.

    Black screen after XP splash screen

    I've tried every option using F8 and they either reproduce the black screen after the XP splash or I'm able to get to the login screen but kb and mouse lock up. I've tried 2 USB and 2 ps/2 keyboards and all refuse to work at login but work fine in BIOS and POST.

    Black screen after XP splash screen

    I just downloaded the latest Nvidia WHQL drivers for my 8800gt (link). I installed the drivers and rebooted with no problem. Then I went back into Control Panel clicked uninstall for "Nvidia drivers" and chose the option to "uninstall all, except display drivers." This prompted me to reboot...

    Whats wrong with my CPU temp readings?

    Hope this is the right section. Please move if needed... I'm looking for some insight on which program offers a "more accurate/important" reading. IIRC, temps can be gathered from different parts of the CPU (die, DTS, thermistor, etc). Below are some idle temps. Any help is appreciated...

    No POST...cant update BIOS

    RMA solved my headaches. I called the ASUS # on the box but was left on hold too long. So I stopped by their HQ in Fremont, CA and explained my situation. The rep told me they dont accept walk-ins especially without an RMA # but she was nice enough to take care of it.

    Antec Solo - Panel w/Cable Management

    The Solo is the same case as the P150 except different color and no PSU. IIRC, you lift the panel instead of sliding like most cases.

    No POST...cant update BIOS

    I know there is a known compatibility issue with NeoHE power supplies and Asus boards. Asus and Antec both acknowledge this problem. Sometimes the system will shutdown w/o notice after 3 seconds. Sometimes it'll stay on if the CMOS is reset but its just a blank screen. There's plenty of threads...
