My system is an Intel Core i7 930 2.80GHz bought from Overclockers in August 2010. It has been running at 4GHz without any problems until two days ago when I started getting BSODs. I've reset the BIOS to default (non-overclocked settings) and am still getting the same problems (though not quite...

What is going on here? Total madness? Link Removed Link Removed First, please let me apologize for the mass of wires, general techno geek junk, and other no-no’s like a can of diet Pepsi right next to my StarTech 4-port USB3 drive bay. Once I did some extensive reading about Storage...

Hello Yesterday I bought a new Acer Aspire M1935. It has been working just fine until now... When it is turned on for about 5 minutes, I get a blue screen. I cannot take a screenshot of the blue screen because I cannot startup anymore! But at the top of the screen it says...

Hi there, I had been trying since the past 2 days to install windows XP professional 64 bit in my sony vaio (vpceb3gfg) running windows 8 release preview. I downloaded the windows XP pro x64 and slipstreamed it using nLite to integrate the iaStor.sys controller driver to include support for SATA...

Hi, I have run into a problem when upgrading my current machine to use an SSD as the main boot device. I restored a backup of my original Sata drive on to the SSD and I am able to boot from it ok. My problem is that when I connect the original Sata HD to the machine it appears in the BIOS...

I have a 650GB Sata H.D.How can I partition it to half this?

Hello, I am currently experiencing a troubling issue with a WD Caviar HD. It was installed as the only HD on a Dell machine that after falling on the desk (from vertical to flat) decided it was tired of booting normally. I took out the hard drive, attached it via SATA to a working Win 7 Pro...

Just installed a new 256GB SSD. Installed Windows 7. Windows is running fine but now even the BIOS does not recognize the SATA HDs. Frank

There were two PCs - one with Win8 64bit ConsumerPreview(1 HDD 120GB) and one with WinXP 32bit (1 HDD 750GB). I've tried to put both HDDs in same PC but failed. When bootdevice is HDD with WinXP everything is OK, just one more 'volume' appears. But when i set bootdevice to other HDD with Win8...

In the past I've post an issue I had were I was getting a B(Blue)SOD but now this is something different, I hope. When I launch either of 2 games (Borderlands and The Secret World), after a while, the screen will go dark and most of the time I'll hear a high pitched wine, I'll restart the PC...

Hi, I have a new machine I built about three months ago and I've only occasionally had BSODs. But now they've increased in the past couple of weeks to sometimes two or three a day. Usually a few minutes after I wake the machine from sleep. One BSOD error said something about USBScan.sys with...

Hi! I'll jump straight to the point, I had windows 7 installed for a long time, today all of a sudden the PC crashed and I'm getting the Bootmgr is missing error at startup. I can't press F8 etc., only BIOS setup works. Since I don't use a DVD for reinstall, I used a USB installation, made it...

I have been thinking about getting a SATA controler card and a few SSD for my system. I have been looking around for something on this topic and thus far have not found anything talking about it or it is talking about moveing the entire disk. What I want to do is migrate system directories to...

W8 may run well for several days, but occasionally hangs for 30' to minutes. Mouse is usable and some window switching is possible, but during the freeze it's essentially dead. Occurs randomly while in browser, other programs, file manager, etc. Sometimes, but not always, a window reports...

While playing audio, using either WMP or MPC, the system may hang, with a reboot the only option. This can occur after just minutes, or hours. It's then evident that the NTFS is corrupt on both the SATA drive (Win 8) and an SSD drive (W7) - all partitions. CHKDSK /f fires up. Otherwise...

When I open the PC, my hardrive and DVD rom was detected in bios but when the operating system started it shows the windows logo then after a second it shows a message that "the driver not found. Im confuse because i have only one hardrive which is the win7 installed on it. How can possibly that...

Okay so, first of all I'm new to the entire world of forums, but this time I really need some help. I bought this new computer about a month ago on a website (where I've bought a lot of things before). I chose the parts and they built it for me, so to start off here are the specs! Cooler...
