    PS pulsating after shutdown..

    Hi! Well, after shutdown, my PS pulsates for 15-20 seconds. First pulses are quicker and slows down till it stops completely. Symptoms: speakers pop at every pulse and lights on case flash. I'm assuming my ANTEC SL350S is shot. It's currently powering : 3 * HD 1 * CD-writer 1 *...

    Corsair ram on Gigabyte Mobo, compatible?

    Hi, Can anyone think of a reason why a kit of Corsair 2x512 valueselect pc3200 184pin DIMMS should not work on a Gigabyte K8NF mobo? Dead sticks? Or does my mobo not like dual bank ram? But other mobos I tried yield the same results.. My other kit of OCZ DIMMS run fine. But any...

    Windows XP thinks my 160gig sata is 130?

    I had the same problem.. Solved it by running WD (my drive is a WD) installation program. I think WD diagnostics also does it. It said that support for large drives wasnt turned on.. It made the changes, and after reboot all was well.
