    USB HDD keep disappearing

    Thanks for all the replies. I don't have a powered USB hub. I got myself a USB power tester and tried to hook it up in between the USB drive and mini desktop. But for some reasons, I can no longer reproduce the problem. Everything seems to be working fine. Current draw is always below 0.4A. I...

    USB HDD keep disappearing

    I have a 1TB WD USB HDD that I use for backups. https://www.newegg.com/model-wdbpck0010bbk-nesn-1tb/p/N82E16822136996 Recently, I switched my main PC to a Lenovo M93p Tiny. But I noticed that my WD external HDD does not work properly with it. The M93p has 6 USB 3.0 ports. The WD is also USB...

    I am using 4GBx2 DDR3 memory. It was too long ago but I think most DDR3 for desktop should work. Not sure about 8GB stick though.

    I ended up taking out the old PSU and hacked my other PSU inside. Have to gave up my expansion slots but that's okay. It will do for now. Its days are numbered.

    I initally thought my P/S is bad. But if I hook it up to a tester, it will power up and only the -5V is off. I googled and found out -5V is not needed. But plugging it back in, PC won't power on. I am confused.

    Thanks for taking the time for look up P/S for me. I took a look at the listing. It seems their connectors are more limited. Some has not SATA power and even the more expensive one seems to have just 1. I don't have spare adapters around. I guess another thing I missed with my slimline is...

    Yeah, I wish I could repeat there success. My s5150 M/B just absolutely won't boot with any quad core processors (tried 3) I threw at it. They are all genuine because I have another LGA775 desktop that I can test on. I think my M/B is an older revision and it needs a BIOS upgrade but there is...

    Originally, I wanted to keep the Slimline because it fits a standard m-ATX motherboard (I think) and comes with a P/S that uses standard 24pin power and comes with 4-pin CPU power. But now my P/S is dead. I wonder if I should just write it off? Core2Duo is really old. If you have seen my earlier...

    Folks, I need some help with my Slimline s5150t. It is not powering on. P/S green LED is on. P/S Fan is not spinning. I unplugged the 24 pin power and tried it with a tester. P/S Fan come on. But -5V is not lit. I tried in another P/S, everything works. So it seems like a faulty P/S. However...

    ThinkCentre M73 Tiny CPU upgrade

    I have seen YouTube video which put a Xeon E3-1275L in the M93 (which is very similar to M73). The CPU has a TDP of 45W. I would be very interested in these tiny unit if it works.

    Refurbished name brand SFF PC as starter?

    Wow. Things must have changed a lot since my last build. CPU HSF? You mean I can't even buy a better HSF for the stock? That's really f**ked up. I guess I will go with my plan B. Only thing is Ryzen CPU/APU prices are through the roof. Maybe due to crypto currency?

    Refurbished name brand SFF PC as starter?

    Well, if you mean that I can only fit in Dell Optiplex motherboard, it is still way too restrictive. Besides, just about all of them sold are used. The Ryzen option is interesting but way too expensive.
