    Swapping 2.5" HDD boards

    I found another 2.5 from WD, a Scrorpio, to replace the board of my external one that died but I don't have, or don't think I do, the screwdriver needed to do it. Does anyone know what kind of hex, or whatever, screwdriver to get?

    Computer won't reset

    I think I got it. The RAM timings were too tight on auto so it wouldn't boot with any certainty. I just manually set them to what CPU-Z said was the right setting and ba-da-boom. I'll post an update later and see if everything is still OK. Thanks for the reply though.

    Advice on which college loan to take out?

    Well, I think all I can say is "sorry" for trying to ask for help in a place where I thought people were at least tolerant. As for the people that actually seemed to provide helpful ideas, thank you. I'm out.

    that monitor isn't really 1080p, it's actually 1680x1050. damn marketing tactics, but seems really good for the price.
