    Thank goodness my 8800 GTX is still functioning.

    Last night while my pc was still on (yeah lazy and it's dangerous); I tried to screw in a pci slot bracket to the case.

    Last night I got windows auto update agent alerts me that there is a newer driver for my 8800GTX (04/06/2007 per microsoft). The driver is dated in March (I forgot the exact date). I didn't do the update since I checked nvidia site and there was no such thing.

    8800GTX shows 1536MB available as graphic memory

    I've never checked the 8800GTX property since I installed Vista Ultimate 64-bit. I happened to check it last night and I saw: 1536MB available graphic memory. 768MB built-in video memory. It looks like Vista is deallocated 768MB memory (dynamically up to 768MB) from the system and uses...

    If the PC power led is still on (dim) for about 3-5 minutes after the PC shutdown, does that indicate anything? Would a PSU be bad? Do I have a grounding problem?

    Does it really make sense? Vista Ultimate comes with backup suite. It's all good and all that. My raid 0 failed; I bought a new set of drives to replace and then restore from the Windows Complete. I thought all was good after the recovery. Then, I was surprised when I opened "Welcome...
