    Hard drive passes tests but doesn't work

    It did have some important files, because my C drive was corrupt only 2 months earlier, that one didn't pass smart tests. so I backed it up to F. F was for some reason named G once it stopped working. I was able to backup all the files I wanted using Seagate File Recovery for windows, no...

    Hard drive passes tests but doesn't work

    I have a Samsung HD204UI F4 2TB. It's not a drive that I boot to but it is used for storing files. It has been working fine since I got it. Just recently it stopped being listed as a drive in windows, a restart brought it back but without a label, it says Local Disk. Clicking the disk for...

    PC won't turn on, unless I unplug it

    Problem escalated, blue screen error, then it wouldn't boot, ntldr missing, it was fixed by changing the boot order, for some reason it moved the drive to the end of the list, then it needed to do a scandisk, it did it twice in a row, found lots of corrupt sectors, deleted lots, next time around...

    PC won't turn on, unless I unplug it

    It stopped turning on again, so I upped the Vtt from I think 180mV, to 220mV, lowered the ram voltage a little too, but not below the recommended 1.35V.

    PC won't turn on, unless I unplug it

    It doesn't go on hibernate mode for long durations of time. From time to time before, as mentioned before, it would fail to boot, but once booted it'd be fine. Nothing has changed over time so why would it be any voltage? Either way it is working now.

    Will this ram fit?

    The TeamGroup Vulcan is 31mm high, so pretty much exactly the same size as what you have now, and it should fit in your motherboard slot, like any other DDR3 DIMM with 240 pins, you probably just need to OC it to get the full ram speed.

    PC won't turn on, unless I unplug it

    The next time I reset I will look at it and maybe put the ram voltage down a little, maybe it was just my CPU failing from the overclock on a low voltage, because to me that seems more likely than the 0.01V increase. So far standby mode and waking have been fine. Before every once in a while...

    Will this ram fit?

    According to Kingston, the one you have is 30mm high, that may be without the heatspreader, so say another 2mm, the Predator is much taller, the 8gb x2 Hyper X Genesis is the same size as the 4gb x2: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-149-KS This also appears to be the same...

    Will this ram fit?

    Are you adding the ram to what you already have, or replacing it? What ram do you have at the moment? You can probably get the specific dimensions of both for comparison.

    PC won't turn on, unless I unplug it

    Cooler master 700w silent pro is the PSU. I should have mentioned that I built this PC in 2010, none of the voltages have changed since then, I'll try upping the ram voltage a little bit and clock it to 1600 as it is supposed to be, and remove the CPU overclock so that 2.66GHz is saved in the...

    PC won't turn on, unless I unplug it

    My computer is the one in the signature, the motherboard is a Foxconn Flaming Blade GTI, with BIOS version 6. So I tend to put my computer into sleep mode and just reset it once in a while, but from a few days ago my computer wouldn't turn on from the power button, it would appear to start...

    Razer Tiamat :: Worlds First True 7.1 Gaming Headset

    I've personally had 2 5.1 headsets, and could always tell the difference between front, back and middle, however the difference is subtle compared to speakers, headsets are a specific shape, with speakers next to the ear, they can only do their best, if you want to know when someone is behind...

    Best Networking Option for Opposite Side of the House

    I checked out reviews and I saw some had the exact same speed test results wired and via a powerline adapter, up to a 50 meg connection, giving 48.5 at both ends, even on the 85mbps versions, I'm pretty sure my whole house, apart from some lighting is one large circuit, then some lights are...

    Best Networking Option for Opposite Side of the House

    I thought that powerline adapters were still really bad, but they seem to have reviews almost like an Ethernet cable would.. Rewiring might be some time away, so I ordered the TP-Link AV200 starter kit today, the problem became pretty serious since moving my computer and desk around and the...

    Which fans are better out of these?

    On the rob? Someone gave them to me yesterday via a certain free-to-collect website, the corsair is new and the noctua is a year old but fully working, bear in mind I only have the fans, not the coolers, except my titan fenrir which is already installed, hence the question as my CPU temp is...
