    "3rd master hard disk s.m.a.r.t. status bad, backup and replace"

    I haven't had my new computer built for more than a week, and suddenly I'm getting this message on my new Hard Drive. The Hd is a WD4000KD, and my computer is a non overclocked dual core x2 4400+ with a a8n32 motherboard. 2gb of memory. I haven't noticed any visible slowdown or anything...

    Windows XP 32 bit / 64 bit LAN

    I just started using Windows XP x64 on my new computer, but I can't connect to my network in order to transfer files to my new computer. Is this not possible because the operating systems are not compatible, or is there some sort of work-around? Thanks

    wd4000kd Help

    I just built my new computer, and it won't recognize my hard drive. I have it hooked up, with both the power cable and the other cable hooked up. I go to raid configuration, though I don't know what that even means quite frankly, and it shows up on the left side, but not as a "logical drive". I...

    A8N32 and it's memory

    What is the actual difference between the performance of the Corsair XMS PC 3200 and the Corsair XMS 3500? is it worth the extra money? I'll be getting the Asus A8N32 motherboard, a Geforce 7800 GTX 256Mb (maybe another in SLI down the road), and either a Athlon 64 X2 4400+ or 4800+ (haven't...

    New Computer Configuration

    I'm only going to be getting one 7800GTX right now, but since it supports SLI, I figure I can get another one down the road when they're cheaper and my comptuer needs another boost. This is the motherboard I'm looking at right now: ASUS A8N-SLI Premium Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD...

    Custom built computer problem

    I just built a computer but when I turn it on for the first time I get a beeping noise and no signal on the moniter. It's like one prolonged beep avery few seconds until I turn it off. The fans work and the front panel obviously works, and I've tried disconnecting all the drives and AGP/PCI...

    DVI Cables

    Okay, I have a projection HDTV and a CRT moniter, both with DVI ports. My video card has a DVI port as well, and I am hoping to have DVI cables to connect my video card to my HDTV and my video card to my moniter (obviously one at a time). I'm not sure about the differences between DVI-A DVI-A...

    New Large Moniter

    I'm looking to get a new large moniter (I'm thinking 21"), mainly for gaming. I'm not restricted by space, so I don't really want a LCD. I was looking at some Viewsonic moniters at NewEgg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824116179...

    Flat Screen Moniter

    I am going to be getting a flat screen moniter for my father. He does NOT play games or anything, He doesn't really use his computer for anything graphics-intensive. He pretty much just uses spreadsheets/word processing and surfing the internet. I don't want to restrict him or get a crappy...

    My Computer Configuration: thoughts?

    It isn't going to be a gaming PC, and the primary concern is speed, not graphics. It won't need to be running a bunch of complex programs or anything. It doesn't have a sound card either, I believe it's build into the motherboard. From Newegg A-TOP XBlade AT859A-BK Black/Silver Steel ATX...
