Hello, The other day I reset my BIOS via a jumper on my board, and when I booted, my CPU clock was running at 2ghz instead of 3ghz. I have no idea what setting changed to make it do that. Is there anything I can do to get it back up to 3ghz? DFI Lanparty DK P35 Core2Duo E8400 WolfDale 3hz...

One HDD was a master, the other a slave. Yes, when I converted it to a play computer, I wiped both drives with quick format, then installed OS on larger drive. I checked both drives, and I think she was guessing at the age because the IBM said 1999 and the WD said 2003. I replaced both ribbon...

I measured the voltages on proper load (HDDs and such) with a digital PSU tester. they failed mechanically i assume because both drives could not be read on a known working system (set as a slave on the working system). The BIOS did not even register it. Both drives that failed were 4 years...

Alright. Well, Thanks for the help. I will post back if I get this resolved so I can let all of you know what it was.

sorry, but -- *bump* (this needs to be resolved)

"I think the +5VSB is for the +5V "Stand By" to provide power to certain devices even when off. Things that might be used to turn on the computer via something other than the power switch: i.e. LAN or keyboard." Ah, ok. That's probably it then. Thanks. "Do you have a Y power adapter in use by...

Have you checked your CPU/GPU temps? Try running FEAR in window mode while having a temp app like CPUZ or GPUZ running in the background while you play. Watch the temps. Sometimes my 8800GT gets to 90C while playing Crysis (Not good, I know...) and it partially locks up (probably GPU failing and...

I have my sister's computer here and I am having some issues determining the exact problem. I suspect the PSU voltages to be the issue of 2 recent damaged HDDs. Both of them died when put into this system in about 9hrs of operation. Here are the voltages reported from my digital PSU tester...
