    FS: High-end FX-55 system

    I did change it a little while ago. My mistake and thanks for the heads-up.

    FS: High-end FX-55 system

    I really, *really* hate to sell but changing priorities dictate I must stick with my laptop until further notice. Aargh. I'm an experienced eBay seller (jazzonly, 69/0/0) but thought I'd offer this system here since [H] was my tech resource when building it. Right now it's the whole system...

    Dell Inspiron 6000

    I have a 6000d and love it, especially considering the price ($1250). Mine is a 1.86 ghz Pentium 750, WSXGA+, X300 GPU, 1G ram, 80 gb disk, CDRW/DVD combo, Intel WiFi, at home warranty. I used a $750 coupon on the machine configured at $2012. The 80GB is 5400 rpm. 100GB coming soon I hear...

    So I took the plunge and ordered a new Inspiron 9300

    Drool... Can someone tell me whether the 9300 has a Sony-Xbrite-like glossy (reflective) screen? IMO the Sony has a screen to die for but the 9300 is a way better deal.

    Case Temperature Monitoring Program

    SpeedFan, http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php, works great! It can monitor temps and control fan speeds according to your wishes, lowering noise. Did software come with your mobo? Asus includes Asus Probe, which does a good job reporting temps, voltages and fan speeds.

    On restart, my new machine shuts down [H]ard. Ideas?

    Temps definitely not a problem - I can leave the system off all night then boot XP and immediately do a restart and it'll still crap out. I do agree that it's acting that way, though. All fans working, no dust bunnies (new build.) I re-flashed the 1009 Bios - still fails.

    On restart, my new machine shuts down [H]ard. Ideas?

    Also, what *really* gets me is that I have to wait 3-5 minutes before the system will power up again. I'm stumped on that one.

    On restart, my new machine shuts down [H]ard. Ideas?

    OS=XP w/Sp2 Whoa, surprise, the reset switch on the case shuts down the system as well. I hadn't used this in a while. Hmm... Could this be Bios related? I flashed the mobo w/ Asus 1010 Beta 3 recently. Maybe return to 1009 Bios? Otherwise I could swap in another PSU (temporarily). Or...

    On restart, my new machine shuts down [H]ard. Ideas?

    After 3 weeks of running great, my new build has taken to hard shutdowns every time I do a restart. I click restart, everything goes like normal but then the machine turns off. I am forced to switch off the PSU for a few minutes and if I switch it back on too soon, the case light flashes and the...

    Recover Mac OSX data under XP?

    Does anyone know of data recovery software that runs under XP that will perform data recovery on a HFS formatted disk that came out of a Mac? I don't have access to a Mac. Thanks for any advice/info...

    FX-55 Temperature

    42C is no problem at all. Mine was idling at about 46C, but the retail fan was spinning way too fast/loud. I enabled CnQ and cut the temp to 38-40C, then used SpeedFan to cut the cpu and case fans to 55% and that made it amazingly quiet.

    Best Data Recovery?

    Good info here. I realize these programs all run on XP but will they recover data off an HD created on a Mac? If so, it could help me avoid re-ripping 300 CDs.
