    Read Only BluRay drive for PC, $159

    Power dvd 8.0 dropped support for HD-dvd. The drive ships with Powerdvd 7.0 oem. Once you download the necessary patches, it plays both HD formats fine.... (well, as fine as Powerdvd does... <cough>) fancier ($$) versions of 7 have better sound support. Powerdvd 8 (which is also more...

    PC boots to a black screen and starts beeping

    Two things jumped out at me initially: -Did you try clearing the CMOS? Note that some boards take a WHILE with the jumper pulled to fully clear. One board I had took overnight, with the jumper off and power supply completely disconnected to boot again after some overly aggressive...

    XP ide cloned to sata -hangs on boot

    More data: When both drives are attached and the BIOS is set to boot from the SATA the system boots sucessfully. Disk management states that the Sata drive is the 'system' drive. Environment variables also point to the SATA as the OS drive... The drive has the letter of K:, as it shows up...

    Random thoughts at 3:30 am: -Er, why did you unplug things just to blow the dust out? -How did you "clean out the dust mites"? did you use a vaccum? they build up static charge and can toast things. -Did you ground yourself correctly during the entire process, both when cleaning and...

    Will I toast my 6600GT in a KT7-Raid MB?

    Thanks guys. I thought I had had it right... but I figured I'd ask since I was exhausted :) The slot in that particular motherboard has no physical dividers in it, so any card would plug in... And yeah, it'll only run at 4x... but hell, I'm pretty sure that I could run it at 2x and only see...

    Will I toast my 6600GT in a KT7-Raid MB?
