j-sta: No, I precisely can't boot into Windows Repair...or rather I can, but unfortunately it won't see the drive at all. There in lies the rub! :/ As for the controller, can't seem to tell from looking at the BIOS (Phoenix TrustedCore 1.00.04). I have some options to change the settings...

On a side note, I just found an old copy of Hitachi DFT (Drive Fitness Tools). It sees the drive fine. I ran the Quick test and it ran fine, but the "Advanced" test seems to just pause (indefinitely?) while doing the media scan at a certain LBA. It starts scanning, then gets to one point, and...

Keenan: What do you mean what mode the controller is in? And where can I find those drivers?...I see about a dozen places online that appear to list drivers for that Intel controller, but there seems to be a bunch of variations, and I'm not 100% sure which I have. I'd be more than happy to put...

More information / long version: For those that are curious for a bit more info.: - The stop code given was: 0x000000ED (0x862539A0, 0xC000000E, 0x00000000) - The computer is a laptop and the hard drive is a 160Gb SATA drive. (Seagate Momentus ST9160823AS) - Since when I try to turn on the...

I am having some major trouble with my laptop and would be very appreciative of an help that anyone could provide! Short Version: Randomly the other day on booting, my laptop blue-screened with the following error: UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME I'm running Vista (32) and most of what I've read has...

If the graphics stop displaying after like 10 seconds (if even post at all, now), how? :) Thanks!

processor: AMD64 3500+ memory: 1Gb Corsair CMX512-3200C2PT motherboard: DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D graphics card: Connect3D x850 XT PE PSU: PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 510 Deluxe HD: Maxtor MaxLine III 250 Hmm...and how would I figure out if it's the RAM?...and would RAM...

I don't unfortunately. But like I said, I was able to swap out the graphics card in the same machine for another and was basically having the same problems. Really?....the PSU?...wouldn't have figured that...hmm.

So, I have a hunch I might have to replace my motherboard in my water-cooled computer. As this is the first major modification I will have to make to it since I put it together, I am not 100% sure exactly what this is going to entail. 1) In all reality, there's no real chance I can leave the...

My system recently has begun having problems, and I would greatly appreciate any and all help folks could offer. Basically, I've been running my system without issue since I made it about a year and a half ago or so. Then suddenly, the other day it seemed to freeze while I was away from it...

Hmm... Well, I've been most likely having to move my graphics card to the other slot anyway...I wonder what the would mean...hm.

1) Anyone seen any reviews on the new MCW30 yet?...I'm wondering how it compares to the MAZE4, specifically... 2) It looks like the MCW30 fits on some DFI Lanparty boards but not others...but their list on the site isn't very detailed...anyone know if it would fit on a DFI LANPARTY UT NF4...

nvm, think I answered my own question... :)

Looks like that funky EK NF4 thing above or this alphacool NexXxos are my choices... http://www.alphacool.de/xt/product_info.php?products_id=3546&cPath=5_18_21 And having never heard of the prior company, and having heard decent things about the later, I guess I'd opt w/ the Alphacool...

So, I have an DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D (full info. in sig), and due to various cooling issues, I was wondering something about the PCIe1 and PCIe4 (PCIe4 is the second SLI slot on the board) slots... I have only one graphics card, and naturally it's in PCIe1 w/ the 16x enabled by default...

Hmm...this one? http://www.cerkovnik.si/nf4.htm I haven't run that page through a translator yet though...and not sure how easy it will be to get in the U.S....

Yeah, that's the reason I still haven't put this together...I was JUST about to, when the chipset fan died...so...sigh...

Hmm...can anyone confirm this?...just how much is the drop down to 8x PCI-e going to be?

I'm in the same boat.... http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1028698607

The computer I've been working on putting together has been temporarily assembled spread out on a table for a little while now...I was about to attach all the WC'ing stuff and put it in the case, when the chipset fan has started dying. Really loud noise, grinding, bleh... I figure since the...

Ok, it definitely frozen on the physical disk check at 22% (left it there for over an hour, no go)...I've rebooted, but not sure what to do next. Try an alternative disk checking tool??

I built a computer a couple of months back with a new Maxtor 250Gb MaxLine III HD. Over time, I filled up about half of the drive, and recently realized I hadn't defragmented it since installation. (I was also having some problem with a little bit of spyware.) I cleaned up the drive, removed...

So, anyone know what exactly was changed between the old Seasonic S12 600 and the newer "A02 model"? Been trying to find out what, to no avail.

FWIW, I ended up getting the Silverstone Temjin TJ-05...It had all my specs pretty much except for all-aluminum (it has alum. front, and rest steel)...and it was $50 less than some of the other similar cases...

I can be damn indecisive about the most random small things... ;)

So I wonder how the performance compares then...

Can anyone give any personal comments on the A.C. Ryan Blackfire fans?...I had an order for one in somewhere, only to be told that they are no longer in stock. I'm being offered an Antec 4-UV LED fan instead, but according to the "published specs" of the two, the Antec pushes a bit less air for...

Well, visually, the Swifty would be a better match...The designs, yeah, I'm betting they are going to be fairly close in terms of performance. I've never used the push-in fittings...can anyone comment on them?...I noticed you can buy some regular barbs though (but for like $4 or $6 or...

Googling is frustrating me right now...grrr... Anyone have any opinions as to which block would likely be better?

Argh.....my order of a Silverprop Cyclone Fusion HL got lost in the mail....so now, I can either get it re-sent to me, or I can probably just cancel it... I'm trying to figure out whether or not to get it resent to me, or to just get one of the new Swiftech MCW-55s...

argh...I said "for the sake of example"!...hehe...didn't mean I was going to do that, just that I am trying to get a a good feeling for how much the thing vibrates. And yes, in practice, I would wedge some foam in there. I'll write more later...sigh, I really wish I had a digital camera...

Well, we all must cool our radiators, no?... ;) And besides, half the questions I've asked in this thread haven't been answered yet...hehe.

In practice, how much vibration have people noticed from the MCP-655 / D5 pump? In other words, for the sake of an example, say you put it on it's side (so not on the little metal stand) on a table with it running...would you really notice the vibrations noise wise?...any movement?... I...

Thanks for the info.

I realize that. The reason is to make it less "permanent"... Well, fans are loud, and since the system is going to be water cooled, I'm trying to keep the noise and # of fans low. :)

I want to apply a few heatsinks to some of the RAM chips on my graphics card when I water cool it, and also to a couple spots on my motherboard...a couple quick questions... 1) I know if you "mix" AS epoxy w/ the regular AS 5, you can (hopefully) later remove the heat sinks if you ever need...
