    P5Q-E, IDE DVD drive is gone after resuming from sleep

    I have Vista 64 Ultimate and a few-year-old Lite-On DVD burner running by itself on the IDE controller. When I put vista to sleep and then resume, the system hangs for a bit and the DVD is no longer listed as a drive. If I do a full reboot the drive is there. Any ideas?

    4850 heat question

    I moved my 92 MM fan from the front of the ninja mini (blowing front to back) to the bottom (blowing down to up). So now my ninja is sucking air from the videocard. this heats up my cpu a little bit under load, but now my videocard is running about 10 degrees less (same exact behavior as...

    4850 heat question

    Well I cut the duct in half, and made a nifty little blower out of it, but the goddamn fan housing is still higher than the videocard, so its useless. I took it out. I just got the 92 mm PWM fan on my ninja mini, i love it, so quiet. The BIOS even got mad cause it spun so slow (cause my cpu...

    4850 heat question

    I really want to get a 4850 since I have a crossfire motherboard. I have put a lot of effort into making a pretty quiet pc that runs fairly cool, so the heat concerns me. I read about people adjusting the fan speed and installing duorbs, but wont the heat generated be the same either way? and...

    P5Q-E lost BIOS settings over night

    Well I just uninstalled six engine again, but then something struck me. Does it reset the mode when you uninstall it, or might you be stuck at the last mode you were at? I had it set at slowest quietest mode when I uninstalled it. How can I check?

    P5Q-E lost BIOS settings over night

    i wasnt running any OC, all the OC was stock. All I changed was fan speeds, AHCI, stuff like that. I'm using it right now and it seems OK, im just waiting for it to crap out again. If i had a gun to my head, I would guess the power supply is overstressed. I'm gonna get a new one in a few days...

    P5Q-E: USB cuts in and out during boot-up

    I have a G25 wheel that calibrates itself when you first plug it in (it spins in each direction). Usually I leave it plugged in, and when Windows boots up it calibrates itself. With my new build with P5Q-E, the USB seems to start and stop while Windows starts, so the calibration of the wheel...

    Can I switch from 939 X2 to 775 E8400 without reinstalling XP?

    I have an Athlon X2 3800 on an A8N-E and I'm swapping it out for a P5Q-E and E8400. Is there a way I can do this without having to wipe out Windows? I'll probably just reformat but I'm interested in what would be involved to keep the OS.
