Is it really possible for a HDD to "forget" things? Because I'm think that's what's happening with my PC.
The primary boot HDD (a PATA Western Digital Caviar 120GB) is pretty old now and as of lately it's acting strange. It's being detected just fine and the PC boots fine, but once Windows is...

This is a recently bought SATA HDD (arrived last Saturday). Sometimes, SMART reports this vendor-specific attribute as failed, but I have no idea what it means, nor do I know if this is dangerous or not. Most of the time, this attribute is just fine...
A long time ago I posted a thread here stating that my PSU (OCZ PowerStream 520W)died on me, which caused the entire PC to shut down. It's now due for RMA, but it took me too long and I needed the PC for my project at the university, so I went ahead and bought a reserve PSU (Tagan TG380-U01...
Hi there,
I ordered an Asus A8N-SLI Premium and an Asus EN7800GTX TOP graphics card. I received them about 4 days ago. Installation went easy and everything was working like they should, until now.
When I was just chatting with fellow people, the PC suddenly turned itself off. I didn't...
I'm just wondering if it's possible to use both monitors (one VGA and one DVI->VGA; I'm using CRT monitors xD) and video-in or video-out at the same time without damaging my card? I thought I read somewhere the card would get overloaded that way, but I can't find that article anymore. :( So...
Dear forum-goers,
I recently got my Club-3D X800XT card (wheee!) and installed it. Everything works properly, except that I noticed Windows XP recognizes the card as X800 and not as X800XT, even after installing ATI Catalysts 4.11.
The card does have 500/500(1000) clockspeeds and has 16...
See title.
I'm considering buying a Club 3D X800XT ViVo as that's pretty much the only X800XT available in the Netherlands (I've searched everywhere).
Or do you think I should go for PowerColor X800Pro ViVo (a store has plenty of this card on supply) and flash that to XT PE? There's always...
This message is rather long, but I hope you have the time to read this:
When I got my lovely new PC, I gave my old Compaq Presario 5000 to my (older :D) brother. However, the Compaq PC began giving lots of nasty problems ever since I started purchasing components for this new PC (kinda...
Hello there,
I've recently moved one (and the only) PCI card to another slot and that caused IRQ 16 to be assigned to it. The problem is that IRQ 16 also has the graphics card and the firewire controller. Is there any way to assign IRQ values manually in the BIOS? I'm not very familiar with...
Heya,
Recently the components of my new PC have arrived (with the exception of the graphics card...) and I've built my system. After a couple of failures (it was the motherboard shorting to the case xD), everything's going very well. I've installed Windows XP SP2 (I had a spare graphics card...
Dear Anandtech members,
I'm new at the board here, even though I'm a regular at the main site. I absolutely love the reviews there. :) The point of this thread is that I need some help on choosing good memory for the Asus A8V Deluxe motherboard.
I had Crucial Ballistix PC3200 in mind...
