Power supply cable standards. by
Al Drake
Are these cables used on modular power supplies the same among all
brands? If I have a cable that delivers 12 volts to my HDDs that came
with one brand can I assume it will be wired the same and can be used on
other brands? I would guess the answer is yes. I have several boxes with
extras I...

Short on my metal case (ouch) by
RayLopez99
There's something wrong with the pushbutton ON/OFF power button on the 4 year old Asus i5 socket mobo tower system, which has a new power supply 600W "Iceman" brand. The local repair guy here in the Philippines tried soldering the pushbutton, and it worked for a while, until it malfunctioned again...

SATA Shuffle by
Seymore4Head
I have a ASUS M4A785TD-M EVO mobo and 5 drives.
The SATA ports are marked SATA1, SATA2, SATA3, SATA5, SATA6. (I love
computer counting) Port 1 is a single port. 2-3 are paired and 5-6 are
paired.
For some reason the mobo looses the boot drive. Since I log on to the
computer remotely, I don't have...

Perils of floating ground (no ground) on your PC...what are they? by
RayLopez99
Inspired by my other post (where BTW my mobo has now failed) and the below blurb by Paul from another thread, I wonder what are the perils of floating ground, that is, no ground at all? I notice there is no ground wire here in southeast Asia (I guess you could build one, and I hope hospital...

Skybuck Flying[_4_]
Hello,

to be an ARM thing or something....
However I do like the idea of owning a processor with my name in it:
"Skylake" processor :)
I did have a verbal fight once with somebody called "Lake" lol... but I can

dead USB ports too frequent for my liking by
[email protected]
I have had 20 PCs since USB came out, and at least half of them had 1
dead USB port after a while. In only one case could I see bent contacts
in the socket. So I wonder is this the usual problem, or do the USB
chips get zapped?
I presume the sockets 5 V pins are fed from a common rail, so it
would...

Who uses Raspberry Pi for a P2P machine? by
Seymore4Head
My P2P machine is loud. I haven't read much about the Raspberry Pi,
but I was thinking that I might get one just to see if it would run
SABnzbd and TeamViewer.
Maybe buy a 2G hard drive.
Is there an Winmx open nap program for Linux?
If it did that well enough, maybe buy a modem for it and try to...

Sapphire graphics useless user manuals by

I have a PC with Sapphire HD4980 therein.
When you switch it on, you hear one beep (meaning normal).
However, several seconds later, another beep. It seems to be in a
reboot loop.
Nothing appears on monitor. I open case, and see a red LED flashing

Regor weirdness -- When things get weird, Weirdness get going. by
Flasherly[_2_]
Three BIOS beeps only 1st time: UnRecognized Processor.
So.
That's what I'm now running, I guess. A Regor CPU on an unsupported
MB. AKA: dualcore Phenom.
Clock speed is correct - 3400. Dunno, don't ask me. The multipler @
200FSB topped out at a BIOS limit of x11 on the Phenom x4 that...

Flasherly[_2_]
Damn, somebody just gave me this processor. Almost twice as fast as
my current quad phenom (2.2ghz) - only it's not listed on the MB
support list (Gigabyte m61pme-s2 ). Damn, I just may have to plug it
anyway to be extra sure about that...might be Taiwan documentation is
tardy... .
Twice as fast...

Gigabyte whacked out on me again by
Flasherly[_2_]
AMD Gigabyte MB - thought I'd "cured it" of high temps by lowering the
HyperTransport multiplier.
Storm yesterday and a few brown-outs, two or three, longest maybe 15
seconds.
Nothing unusual in rebooting, except upon noticing Speed Fan's report
aggressive high temps. Again.
It was rock solid...

CMOS checksum fails by
Skybuck Flying[_4_]
Not sure what could be causing it.
Seems to happen after power loss... and hard reset... also after weird
electrical problem which happens rarely, which is solved by full power down,
disconnect of cables etc.
After saving settings and exiting bios, PC works as normal.
Checksum error indicates...
