    computer restarts same time every day

    About a week ago, my computer began to shutdown and reboot on its own every day at 11:49 am. I can't figure out why- there is nothing in my scheduled tasks that would do it. Any ideas as to what may be going on?

    bootloader probs - xp, linux, vista

    Long story short: i've got an xp install and a vista rc1 install- I used to dual boot, using vista's bootloader. That became messed up, and I had to reinstall vista rc1. Now there is no boot choice screen- vista just comes up. My xp partition is still there, I can see it in vista. I'd like...

    Please stop me, if I need stopping

    I've got a 939 a643000. I'm going to build a C2D based computer later in the year, as i'll need a 2nd computer. I'm also planning to get vista ultimate for that one (that is for sure; no need to debate that purchase here). I'd like to upgrade the 939 computer so it'll last for a number of...

    seasonic s12 fan control

    I've just got a s12-430. It has a little power supply connector that you can hook up to three case fans to, and then it will control their speed. It has one 12v and 2 5v connectors. Anyone have any opinions on these? I wonder how well they work- too slow and a hot case, or too fast and a...

    freezer 64 on a8n-sli

    I'm considering an arctic cooling freezer 64. I'm just curious if it there is a reasonable amount of clearance around it, and if you are able to mount it with the fan blowing front to back.

    what should the 12v voltage be?

    According to asus pc probe, my 12v voltage is currently 11.776- and sometimes it goes lower. Does this matter, or is this going to cause me problems? What voltage should I be seeing?

    A8N-SLI SATA boot problem

    So i've been doing fine with my setup for the last couple of months. Then tonight, I was moving some cables around in my rig for airflow- the computer was on. When I looked up, it said windows boot failure. Somehow it had rebooted while I was messing around with it. I've got 3 IDE...

    seasonic - 430 vs 500?

    I've got the rig listed below- I might add another 6600 gt at some point. Will the seasonic s12-430 be enough for me, or should I get the 500 for another 50 bucks? What features, if any, does the 500 have that the 430 lacks?

    overclocking winchester 3000 newbie

    I've got a winchester 3000, 2x512 corsair value ram, and an A8N SLI Deluxe. In the bios, i've lowered the memory to 266, the HTT to 4x, and raised the FSB to 240. I left the memory timings and voltage and everything else on auto. I can hit this (2160) without a problem, but if I raise...

    A8N-SLI PS question

    My PS has a 20 pin connector. Can I use that with the a8nsli, or do I need some kind of adaptor? Also, there is a little 4 pin connector that has the same types of connections that the 20 pin connector does- what is that for?
