    Question on failed motherboard?

    Thanks for the quick reply. I have an extra 400W known-good PSU here already and am thinking I might as well try it. Wondered if it had the "umph" for twin SLi video cards so I guess I will pull one card and try a reboot with the other PSU just to be sure. I am afraid my devoted loyal and...

    Sapphire 100292DDR3L HD 5450 Video Card orientation problem

    The tip was a good fix and worked. Often, people think "help" sections are a goldmine in programs we encounter problems with. Yet more often than not, they are as useless as teats on a boar hog. Per say, as an example is Microsoft's famous help window for error reports on failed updates. The...

    Yes, the power supply was going bad and I replaced it a lower end 680W power supply. This cured my USB external drive problem in a "flash".
