Firefox just crashed for me so had to restart :rolleyes:

How long did the stress test last, last time?

Yea I know it's a pain. I subscribed anyway... probably won't use it anymore than for this but ah well. Want to try this game so bad :D

On the 15th of Nov Fileplanet members will get the chance to try out Pirates of the Burning Seas in a stress test. http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/potbs/index.aspx I've signed up, woo!

Last time I went two guys stripped to boxers and ran at eachother shooting like crazy. It was ok till the rest of the team started firing too and one guy got a ball to the balls so to speak.

I got battered the last time I went paintballing. I had bruises the size of apples all across my upper body. Ok I'm not the best at it...but my head on charges were entertaining for everyone else. Oh..and a couple drew a little blood which was surprising.

Well its windows stable with 470 at 8x but 475 isn't stable on anything. Weird...

Hi all. Thanks for the advice. The review is up now so you can find it on XSR. Better now post link as there are some competitors advertising with us :). It's an MSI board. I attempted upping NB, SB, CPU, FSB Termination voltages and none made any difference. I lowered memory divider, loosened...

Hi all, Have been having a play with a new x38 mobo I'm testing and I can't seem to get past 470FSB. Here's the skinny: The board is windows stable at 470FSB with 1.45vcore, stock NB and stock SB. Memory and CPU multi/dividers are lowest possible. However, as soon as I raise the FSB to 475...

It was in a business setting but it's my home machine. I think I can RMA the drives with WD so hopefully get them back ok. My business partner says he multimetered the PSU and it seems fine. Is there any way to test if it could be the cause? Or is there anyway the motherboard could have...

Tried them all in other PCs, nout. None detected anywhere and they all have a silicon burning smell on their underside. Don't think they are spinning up I'm suspecting motor problems. PSU fault do you think? Was just quote between 200 and 400 from Fields Data who are Western Digital...

Thanks guys. I tried Ontrack, and although their service sounds great, I really can't stomach the 500-800 quid fee. Will try some of the smaller companies; they seem to charge between £100 and £300.

Well for some reason yesterday my HDDs stopped working and a couple of drives I plugged in to test with also died; seems like the motors are burnt out. Afterwards to my horror I realised one of them was my storage drive with a lot of data I had yet to back up on it. Some of the pictures and bits...

I tried 4 different drives that were all working this morning. None detected. And now none are being detected in other PCs... I am bricking it now. If they are dead I've lost so much info... Edit: Ok, the only place any of the drives seem to work is when plugged into SATA 6 on the motherboard...

Ok... done some more testing. When both drives are plugged into SATA 1 and 2 with RAID enabled on both of those, no RAID setup shows up. If however, I plug one drive into the RED (SATA 6) I get the RAID setup and one drive shows up with 16mb as its size, and in the BIOS one drive shows up on...

Ok I can get into the RAID utility but only one drive shows up, as "Config Drive", 16MB, yea MB. Both drives are 36.7gb... very confused now.

The board in the original machine is a P6N-Diamond 680i from MSI. Drivers are plugged into the RAID ports yes, unless the manual and board is printed wrong. No I don't see the RAID config utility but this monitor takes ages to show anything (posting is finished by the time it powers up). The...

Hi all, Formatted by 36gb Raptor so that I could RAID 0 it with a new one I bought from the MM. Formatted fine and booted to windows all good (wanted some performance numbers to compare to RAID). Then I turned off, plugged in the 2nd drive and set the SATA 1+2 ports to RAID then rebooted. It...

Ahh ok thanks guys. Getting another HDD to RAID my boot drives soon so will just format when that time comes. Cheers for the help :).

I formatted my C (boot) drive recently, but when I went to windows it was setup as the D drive and my storage drive is set as the C: drive. Obviously this doesn't really affect anything but it is annoying when I keep selecting the wrong drives. Is there any way to change this?
