    eSata issues - just plain won't work

    Ok, so it has to be me. I can't find anyone else that's had trouble with eSata like this. This sounds dumb, but I've been trying to use it off and on for the past 6 months, first with XP, now with 7, and it just plain doesn't work. Is it supposed to be like USB - plug it in, Windows makes a...

    PC Overheating

    So I think I've finally figured out the cause for my PC always freezing....has to be overheating. Although, I didn't think the temps were all that high, but that's where you guys come in. Check my sig (BigBlack link) for my hardware (only difference is I'm running one hard drive now, not...

    Maximized windows hide behind Start bar..??

    I don't know what the heck causes this, but I found a fix once when I googled it a few weeks ago, but it's only temporary I guess, and now I can't find it again. I simply maximize any window and the bottom won't stop at the Start bar, it'll go to the bottom of the screen, behind the bar...

    PC keeps effin up...

    So I built my PC (Big Black) in April of 2005 and I've had sooo many problems with it. I've had to wipe the drive and start over at least a dozen times since I've built it. Probably the longest running time I've had it in normal working order is maybe five or six months...these are not...

    I turned my PC on and it shut right off the next second

    I'm freakin out here. I go in to my room, press the power button to turn my PC on and the blue lights on the fans turn on for probably less than a second then shut off right away.

    Looking at UPS's

    So I'm kind of entertaining the idea of purchasing a semi-inexpensive uninterruptable power supply. It's just going to be powering my rig (below), my 20" monitor, a future 15" or 17" monitor, my external hard drive and possibly my printer...so I'm thinkin if I were to go through with this it'd...

    Please help with diagnostic LEDs

    AAAlrighty, so this weekend was the first build I've done, and it went quite smoothly despite a faulty cpu fan (thus the thermaltake), and it's still going pretty well except I'm not sure about the diagnostic LEDs. I read in the manual about what they mean but that's during boot up only, i...
