Tried that. After getting into windows I shut it down and plugged it back in. This is when I found out that not even windows could detect it.

Touched a voltmeter to contacts on the card. It's getting 12.144v.
Also thought maybe it was a bios setting. I have ASRock Z77 Extreme 4. The System Browser shows that PCIe slot the card is in as empty.
Was planning to install Windows 10 today so I started by disconnecting every drive except the one I was going to install Windows 10 on.
I have a modular PSU. The easiest way to disable all drives is to unplug the entire line feeding them from the PSU. I didn't trace the right line and...
It's an SSD and it's not the culprit. All the corruption appears to have occurred from that one event.
In order to hopefully prevent something like this from happening again I've set the Remove policy of all drives to "Quick Removal" which turns off Write Caching to all drives.
I've done an...
It may not be the display driver. I just tried to open my email client and got:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\mozsqlite3.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error...
Last night my computer crashed while watching a video. It was a pretty dramatic crash that caused the displays to glitch and a loud buzzing noise, similar to what would happen if you bumped a N64 cartridge. The error doesn't show up in BlueScreenView.
Once the machine was back up it gave the...
I've got an Acer ASPIRE S3 UltraBook with a 20GB SSD and a 320GB HDD. The system supposedly swaps the most used files onto the SSD. However, I have no idea how it works or if it works?
Here is a screenshot of Disk Management. The whole SSD drive appears to be at 100% free and without a...
It's working. The problem was with the System Reserved Partition.
Every time I mounted the VHD, Windows would message me about formatting the volume that was once the System Reserved. Doing so caused even more serious problems with the virtual machine.
What finally worked:
I mounted the...
I redid the Hal file again, this time using the recovery CD, but it had no effect except windows xp no longer seems to be doing any dumps. There is no minidump or even a minidump folder in F: \Windows.
However, I did find that it was creating a dumpfile with the .tmp extension in the root...
Using IDE PIIX3 I get BSOD 0x7B right at boot
Using IDE PIIX4 I get BSOD 0x7E just before desktop (What I was using before)
Using IDE ICH6 I get BSOD 0x7B right at boot
Using SATA AHCI I get BSOD 0x7B right at boot
The PIIX4 is the only one that brings up the Windows XP loading screen. The bar...
I have it set to custom size. 16GB of ram.
On the SSD : 4096 - 16272MB
On the HDD : 16272 - 24408MB
Total paging file size for all drives: 20368MB
I like to give it flexibility. With a choice between the SSD and the HDD I figure Windows may minimize the writes to the SSD. And because of...
My Aunt has a 11 year old DELL machine with hardware issues. I'm trying to convert it to a Virtual Machine that will run in Virtual Box or other free Virtual machine software. I also want the VHD to be easily mountable.
Because of RAM related issues, Windows XP is to unstable to convert the...
I've got great cooling. The package will not break 45c at stock. At 4.2ghz, it will not break 55c using 1.228V. At 4.4ghz, it won't break 60C using 1.285V.
Using those settings, it is stable in prime95. Except in custom mode using 75% ram and 5min intervals causes BSODS. Doesn't matter the...
Has there ever been any comparison of motherboards overclocking the same i7 3770k or similar processor been done?
I ask because my i7 3770k won't overclock even 200mhz faster, and I'm wondering if it's my as rock z77 extreme 4, so I'm looking into other motherboards.
