    SATA + 2 PATA HDD Problem

    I think I've resolved the issue now; I connected my DVD rom as master and the 1st PATA drive as slave on one IDE cable and insterted into the blue masterconnector. And the other HDD is set to master also but connected on the secondary IDE channel on the motherboard with a second IDE cable...

    SATA + 2 PATA HDD Problem

    I just tried that, to no avail though. It seems to have worsened the problem actually, more error entries than before :( Thanks though, Any other solutions? There are jumpers on my DVD rom drive too, but I'll have to take it out completely to see what available options it has...

    Need a proper monitor for my new rig

    Hey Illusionx, If you've already spent 2000 on just the computer than I reckon around 300 for a monitor isn't too crazy then?! Samsung has a nice widescreen 22'' LCD monitor, the SM226BW which has a uberlow response time. Here's a review about it, and prices are at the bottom. I'm...

    Wii WiFi Problem

    Hey Ahdrum, Did you set the ip for the Wii yourself (Static ip) or is your Wii set to obtain an ip adress automatically? (DHCP) My Wii is also connected to my wireless router, I've got my Wii set up with a static ip adress outside my routers dhcp range and it's all working flawlessly...

    SATA + 2 PATA HDD Problem

    Hey Roy92, thanks for the reply, The problem arised when I had the cables set up as mentioned by you, the DVD has it's own IDE channel and the 2 PATA drives were on one and the same cable and channel, one set as master one as slave. Strange thing is, the error is about my D drive, which is...

    SATA + 2 PATA HDD Problem

    Thanks for the reply Edijs, I've already taken out both HDD's, the problem is gone then. Drive D is my Optical DVD though, both PATA drives were recognized as E and F. I'll put both drives on seperate connectors to see what that does, should I set them both to slave then? Greetings...

    Building your own gaming machine?

    Prebuilt gaming pc's from well-known brands such as DELL's XPS line or Alienware are in my opinion way overpriced. I like building my own system since I get to choose from a wider variaty of hardware than most online pc configurators, it's also very satisfying to find the lowest price by...

    SATA + 2 PATA HDD Problem

    Hey there HWF guru's, I've recently bought a WD740 10.000 Raptor SATA HDD which I reinstalled my OS XP Home on. Now I wanted to use my old 2 PATA HDD as extra storage and backup for drivers and so on, and I thought I had it all worked out, that is until my computer started eiter rebooting...

    GeForce 8800 GTS -- Worth it?

    Doesn't anybody have any doubt about the first generation of DX10 cards that are available? I mean, if I had the option to upgrade I'd wait a while until DX10 becomes more standard and there are more models to choose from. Quad SLI users had to wait a long time too, Nvidia's previous call...

    Angry German Kid

    Are you sure it's ADHD? I mean, I know a couple of people who have this disorder but they just come across as overexcited to me. You're dutch too, the best treatment possible here is to run towards the local coffeeshop and buy some prerolled dubs to smoke, if that doesn't get you relaxed than...

    ACER AL1916 Colours and brighness gone funny

    I don't manually set the rgb values, I use the "Cool" setting all the time. When I select "User" (Never used this before) it defaults to R: 80 G: 80 B: 70, but these are too bright for me. I think your monitor might've died, but be sure to check your Radeon's settings though, there might've...

    Angry German Kid

    I can't stand losing continuously from the same person over and over when playing a game, it gets me agitated but not angry. The kid's parents should become shareholders of a company which manufactures cheap keyboards. Then they might gain a few bucks everytime he's got to buy a new one...

    ACER AL1916 Colours and brighness gone funny

    What about the manual rgb adjustment option? I've got mine on "Cool" Furthermore, brightness is at 90 and Contrast is at 61. Did you try to reset the monitor already? I have a clear and bright image with the above settings, the only thing else I can image might cause the problem are your...

    Dell Laptop

    The only thing I can see is a 15 pin connector which enables you to connect the laptop to an external crt or flatpanel type displays. So I guess it doesn't. Greetings, Marcus_X

    found a funny bug in 18 Wheels of Steel Haulin'

    Poor testing after the game is finished will result in such bugs, there might be a patch available which fixxes the problem. I remember a custom map in Half Life 2 Deatchmatch (multiple actually) where you could fall through the map after entering and kill people from underneath the map...

    Graphics card trouble!!!!

    Can you share your computer info with us? An insufficient power supply might be the cause but I can't be sure unless you post your specs. Did you upgrade hardware lately? Greetings, Marcel

    Angry German Kid

    There are probably a lot of users that have seen this video before, but I saw it for the first time today. A colleague at work told me about this movie; The kid wants to play Unreal Tournament, but apparantly can't stand even stand waiting for loading times.... Imagine what happends when he...

    No Power Dongle??

    Hi Kwikness, You're right, it needs extra power in order to work properly, but not from the hard drive. Your power supply should have an extra cable available for powering a pci-e graphics card, didn't a power adapter cable come with your graphics card? The cable that goes into the...

    Desktop PC loses connectivity after router installed

    Having your network devices have a static ip is only interesting if you're downloading or gaming a lot, it is something advanced users in combination with port forwarding use to get better performance and connection, if you never touched this before it normally set to "obtain an ip adress...

    500 Best albums?

    Lol, I wonder amongst which audience they held this survey in order to come up with this list. I mean, most people don't even care about the beatles anymore except Michael Jackson :D M.J. is so freaky, he must've bribed that station in order to get all those Beatles albums in that list...
