    Intel SSD bootup problem

    No, I don't have access to another computer with a sata port, only a super old lappy that I'm on right now. Honestly, if a usb controller can't see it, and 2 different mobo controllers, I think it might be done. I'm going to go ahead and rebuild, and try hotswapping then. If I can recover the...

    Intel SSD bootup problem

    I'm really just playing games, and browsing internet. Never had load time problems with the old one, so I doubt I'll have problems with the evo. No video editing to speak of, though that may change. Still, price is a factor. 250gb means I can essentially load all programs to it, and use it for...

    Intel SSD bootup problem

    Yeah, it can't boot up if the drive is installed. No computer can. Before you get to the boot sequence, bios needs to know what's connected, and as it checks, it hangs trying to figure out what the ssd is. It's obviously powered up, but something is wrong. I doubt taking it apart would be all...

    Intel SSD bootup problem

    Can't be detected with a usb enclosure either. I guess it's dead :( Time to rebuild I guess.

    Intel SSD bootup problem

    So I've had an Intell ssd, I think it's the x25-m series, 80gigs, for almost 5 years now. Worked well till yesterday, when I rebooted to install windows updates and all that annoying stuff. The bios now hangs when trying to recognize the ssd. I've tried difference hard drives in different...

    Need a new router and AP

    Hi. My parents need a new wireless solution for an old house. Right now we are using 2 routers connected by powerline bricks, and the problem is that if you're on one network, you cannot see or use printers or whatever from the other network. Either the internet is terrible, or the routers are...

    You're an idiot. Answer the question, if you even can.

    Canadian Has Murder Convictions Overturned in Self-Defense Case

    Not really sure what I think of it. Like someone said, maybe these guys ran away screaming that they'd be back with guns. I don't know all the facts. On one hand, he did shoot people running away from him. On the other, this was merely the next escalation of a fight that had already been...

    Gunowners - would you "give up" your guns under federal law?

    Well sir, you just have another think coming, theoretically. Nobody is banning all guns. It's a stupid thought. It's stupid because it's wrong. This country was founded upon people being able to have whatever life they want. If they want to hunt, then that's fine. If they want to shoot at a...

    Triple stabbing and a secondary stabbing in Canada

    Nobody is being facetious. Banning pointy kitchen knives has been found to reduce knife violence. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4581871.stm

    North Korean Cannibals

    That was pretty terrible. On my collar? Terrible. I hope you can do better than this. Give it another try, come on.

    North Korean Cannibals

    What a badass. I bet you could spear a tiger shark with your feet then cook it over a fire you made from rubbing string together. Most interesting man in the world?

    Doctor Shot, Killed at Southern Calif. Office

    I doubt most doctors feel the need to open carry, but if one wanted to, is there even a possible argument against it? The world view of some of you is insane. I get the feeling alot of you grew up in highly populated, urban areas. You think of guns as things that kill people, probably because...

    Massive march on D.C in support of gun control.

    gun control = ending needless gun violence. Support that, starting with defining gun control. edit: I take huge issue with random people saying "we are sandy hook." How dare they take on some sort of political personna in the name of children and teachers who were killed by a mentally ill...
