Does soda taste better out of a can or bottle?

I was talking with a rep from coke a few weeks ago about this exact same thing. It's got to do with the containers they are stored in. Something to do with the thermal capabilities of glass, aluminum, etc. I like cans better than plastic, plastic better than fountain (because of lack of mixing...

Which cheap 120GB/240GB SSD?

I've been slinging the ADATA 60 dollar SSDs on newegg. They do the job for basic usage.

pagefil.sys

It's pretty strange that it's not just in the root of the drive like it would normally be. Unless you're doing something that would move it, most page files can be deleted and windows will recreate one on reboot.

MB likely fried: How to save RAID 0? Possible?

Yeah. Most of the fake raids will work when hooked directly up to an identical machine. Works almost every time.

Burned ssd contacts!

Oyeve, I absolutely love your avatar. For more than a few reasons. That's a scary situation. I have no idea what would burn up on a drive and still work. Holy crap.

Reformatting my D: drive Help?

I'm really glad TheELF brought up the information about the boot manager. Not very many people know that, and run into no boot scenarios. I'm sure there's a way to recreate a similar partition. Windows is a jerk for doing that. They do the same with some of their C++ redists. Using another drive...

MB likely fried: How to save RAID 0? Possible?

If the machine is identical, and the BIOS and RAID options are set properly, the drives will plug and play. Each drive is marked as part of a specific raid array. No data will be lost if you are simply just transferring drives from one machine to another. As long as RAID is set in the BIOS and...

Is my system too old? Is there any hope for i? Help :(

Here's another option! Dell Precision T3500s all day long on Ebay for 135 shipped. They come with more modern chips and usually a more capable graphics card. I use one as a media center and it plays games to boot!

All USB Devices Stop Working In A Specific Case

There's a few troubleshooting steps you can take to kind of run down the issues. I had an instance once where a bad USB keyboard would constantly short out my ports and do something similar. 1. Try one device at a time, such as: Plug a device in and out repeatedly to see if you can reproduce...

Blue screen of death. Need serious help.

I hope they do, it took forever to figure out my first Q6600. Tried everything, but then I said let's do the chip. And the rest was history. Error 0x124 = Bad CPU (for googlers)

Looking for mid range AMD card

I snagged a R9 380X for 229 the week it came out. I've been pretty happy with it. FO4 and BF4 are quite good at 1080p. I cannot say for any rez higher yet. I've had a few driver crashes, but with the recent update to AMD's software, they have quieted down a bit, although not completely gone.

Upgrading -- Please Advise

Upgrading a PSU is a good idea when going to new hardware. It would be nice to be able to get the machine ready for future upgrades too. But that would be up to you.

All USB Devices Stop Working In A Specific Case

Do you think it's possible that you're causing an amp surge on the usb ports? Even though the devices may not be using the total amps available through the usb, having all the ports used for such devices could randomly cause voltage drops or amp issues. When the devices go all funky, does...

Blue screen of death. Need serious help.

This is a follow-up to our conversations earlier. Working on a Dell All-in-One today, windows 8 or 10 installer would not load. I grabbed a 7 install usb. Error 0x124. Intel Pentium G3240. Swapped with i5-4400 series, works flawless. What are the odds that just a few days after this thread, I...
