    Reboot and Select proper Boot device (OCZ SSD issue)

    I also went the RMA route with OCZ and got the new drive in 2 days. Sent the old one back and was credited back to my account. New drive seems to be working fine (but then again so was the old one, after I reformatted everything). Used paragon backup to easily create the image and now I'm set...

    Reboot and Select proper Boot device (OCZ SSD issue)

    I never did get any BSOD but did have maybe 2-3 random restarts. However it was always recongnized by the computer right after restart, no power down necessary. I guess re-installing Windows 7 on this SSD is bad news waiting to happen? Do you know if it's easier/faster to get a replacement...

    Reboot and Select proper Boot device (OCZ SSD issue)

    I did reset my BIOS to default, still same problem. I changed the boot up order (to SSD) and still same error. It does boot with the DVD with my windows 7 in there. I actually read that thread last night when this problem first surfaced for me. I'm at a loss to why this SSD would even be...

    Reboot and Select proper Boot device (OCZ SSD issue)

    Update: I took out my OCZ SSD and loaded it up on another computer - it can read the contents fine. However I tried to boot it on a 3rd computer and it gave me the same error message...

    Reboot and Select proper Boot device (OCZ SSD issue)

    I'm getting this error with my computer. The computer's been fine (using for about 1 month) with no hiccups. My main boot drive is the OCZ SSD - I believe the problem is with that drive. I have the following: ASUS M4A89GTD Pro / USB 3.0 AMD Phenom II X6 1075T Thuban 3.0GHz OCZ Vertex 2...

    I'm not sure exactly how the PSU works - so if my system pulls 300 watts average... would I be using more power by going with a 750w PSU over a 500w PSU? I thought that the amount of power I'm actually using was the amount it would draw... and that the 750w would offer me some future upgrade...

    If you're not in sales already... you may want to try it. Thanks for hearing out what I really wanted to do. Although everyone else was trying to steer me in the right direction (thanks for that too, always good to save $$$)... I'm ready to do my first build. Here's what I've purchased so...

    Bone thugs yes! old school now & my favorites back then. That's not a bad idea actually, to upgrade the motherboard & case. But I'm going to sell my current computer after I build this new one... Plus I wanted an upgrade. I probably don't need the 6 cores at all... But when I do this right I...

    $1200 movie PC - streaming / watching / editing

    The slow downs are due to multitasking and moving files around on the hard drives / constant downloading / streaming to other sources. I use VLC to play WMV 1080p files on my computer. WD Live TV player is what I stream to. I'll be watching and streaming at the same time and if I want to edit...

    Hi Everyone - hopefully you're having a great Thanksgiving so far. I've looked over a few of the build articles here and the information is a little overwhelming. Just didn't want to make a wrong choice or a poor choice in my components. I'm looking for help on my first time building my...
