I have 3 computers. I Just bought a Seagate 500GB external (USB/SATA/FW) Hard Drive. I want to use the USB for all of this if possible. I need to get software that will allow me to do all of the following: I need to be able to boot off this external hard drive sometimes, through USB if possible, I d...

I bought this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16842101141 APC Back-UPS BE500R 500 VA 300 Watts 8 Outlets UPS - Retail My review: The slightest flicker in the lights causes this thing to click over to backup power instantly, buzzing and clicking noisy, and sometimes it even se...

I own two computers, I want to buy an external USB hard drive and image/copy the entire hard drives from my computers onto this one big external drive. I Want to be able to copy over the entire thing, including software and all my misc. crap. What software do you recommend for this? And will I have ...

Changed keyboard and mouse and it still freezes sometimes. Guess I just wont restart it much.

not overclocked at all, in fact it may be underclocked, since I left everything on auto.

Yes it is, there was never a bios update for this mother board, its still v1.0 and says so on their website.

I just realized if I remove my mouse from the USB port it still freezes though only about 10% of the time instead of 80%...

If im using a very old keyboard or mouse (keyboard is PS2) can something like this occur...

This computer: PC Chips mobo, corsair XMS 512X2 DDR2, AMD X2 AM2, Onboard video & sound & Nic When I restart this computer, it seems to have about an 80% chance to Hang (freeze?) Right after it detects my processor (but before it lists the hard-drive and CD roms) at the bottom it says press "DEL" to...

It suddenly for no reason started working. I 3dMarked this computer but used 3Dmark 06, which I guess is harder than 05, and got 3500marks or whatever, but i was above 50% of the other users so I guess thats not bad for 06. Ill get 05 and try it again. I had to run to work (where I am now) so I cant...

Im going to 3D mark this system next, its almost the same, SLI M2N mobo w/ 2GB corsair XMS 4-4-4-12 T2, AMD X2 4600+, Geforce 7600, it should do decent I would think. 3Dmark is still downloading 80% done atm. This computer is on a network with another computer, why cant I see it on my network throug...

Sandra benchmark thing works pretty good, this computer is doing good. Only thing is it just told me my mother board was nearly 100*C. I touched the Mobo in several places and if anything its room temp, where is the sensor for mainboard temp located? even the northbridge (i think) with the heat sink...

Well why dont you tell me what everyone likes to use to benchmark their systems, that can give me memory voltages and timings, and little things like that, system temp, and overall benchmarks I really dont know what to use for these things. Also, Is it safe or even smart to use this program "Ai Boos...

Oh sorry didnt think it mattered, it was 05 i think.

The system I built AFTER it is the one Im on now, I was going to use 3dMark 06 on it, but if they vary results ill stick to 05 i guess?

The one Im typing this on is a lot different of a computer, i built 2 at the same time.

I ran 3Dmark on this system I just put together. Its got a PC chips mobo w/ onboard Geforce 6100 Nforce 400 1GB Corsair XMS 5-5-5-15 AMD X2 3800+ Socket AM2 I got like 610 marks (not sure what it means exactly) Is that average for this system? seemed low, but I Dont know. If its really low I am gues...

I got this motherboard after the SLI comment:

M2N 570
Hope it runs the DDR2 800 memory

Everything should be here in Short order. I could not find the RAM compatibility list for the Asus M2N Mother board I bought, I hope the Corsair memory works in it.. also I hope the RAM voltage can be turned up on the M2N to run the memory correctly, I hope it doesnt stop at like 1.95V or something.

Yeah lots of the 5-star reviews still got DOA memory but the 5-stars was from the memory they got after the RMA was done. Im considering this memory instead: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231087 Most of the 1 and 2 star reviews are either incompatibility issues or DOA, and...

I've got one issue left. Everything is fine except the memory, After reading the reviews here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145034 and here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145590 It appears CORSAIR memory has an 80% or so chance of being DOA. so ...

Thanks for the reply! I have more questions, you will find I am an endless pit of them. Answer me this if you could please then, When a mother board says 1000MHz FSB, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813131013 and says "DDR2 800" Memory standard I know the FSB has something to do...

Dumb question but, Say one type of memory is rated 1.8V @ 4-4-4-12 timing and another is 2.2V @ 4-4-4-12 timing What is the difference? Will the 1.8V live longer? be slower? Would I WANT to buy the lower voltage to benefit from increased ram life? And could it overclock faster because it uses less v...
