random reboots after upgrading to x2 4200+ from a64 3400+

Try graphic card drivers. Believe it or not it happens from time to time and, as a matter of fact it happened to me. So, do uninstall nvidia video drivers, re-start and run your system with standard vga windows drivers. Do as many tests as possible and let the system run. If after around 24 to...

How often does RAID 0 really fail?

The answer is YES, IT FAILS. My raid 0 failed a couple of years ago and I promised myself i would never use it again. Or at least not as raid 0 alone but with four hds at raid 0+1. On the other hand, the advantages are not spectacular, but they are REAL, and you perceive real-world benefits in...

hd electrical shock

and what if the model is no longer available? would it be enough with another disk from the same manufacturer? Well, it is a seagate barracuda 7200.9 pata 250 gb. and dunno wether it's still at the market. Any clue of possible compatibility would be of great help.

Tuniq 120 Owners, Arctic Silver 5 or Thermal Grease it comes with?

I would make a difference not just between as5 and the rest, but between as5 and other "good quality" thermal compunds as opposed to "cheap ones". Comparing those two categories would be something real, but if you are asking for as5 supremacy over any other compound , i would say that the answer...

hd electrical shock

while re-assembling my computer (4 hds) ia did not remembered one of them was mounted "upside down" so that the molex connector was at left instead of being at right. Well, I did it as per usual without paying much attention and i tried to connect that molex to the right... and as soon as i...

corsair 620hx question

psu seems to be really ok and nearly inaudible. Unfortunately, the base problem that has led me to replace psu is still here. Perhaps is the mobo-memory combination, perhaps... who knows?.

corsair 620hx question

all right, all right. Now i'm even more confused that i use to be. On the one hand, the economy makes me tend to realwatts... if i don't change a single screw in a couple of years. On the other, if i'm not sure about it, 620 is going to be more "upgradeable".... but nonsense to spend three...

corsair 620hx question

you're right aigomorla, I understand what you mean and have to agree with it, but now I am not thinking of realwatts because it's going to draw less energy from mains, but because apparently (I don't know for sure but it seems to be so for what the other people has told me here and in some other...
