I recently installed my new HDD (see my specs) and there's something wrong with my computer now. I will describe it as best as I can. After long sessions (6+ hours) my computer will not react to anything. After and during I play a game for many hours or leave my computer idle, it will not...

I am thinking about buying a WD Red. Blue is out of stock, and I don't need the performance of a Black one. Green is meh. I don't know. All of these hard drives are very similar. EDIT: I might choose green, though.

The laptop in question has Windows 7 on it. No, I haven't tried anything yet, since I wasn't sure what to do.

1) The HDD is in a laptop. 2) The error is displayed in Partition Magic 8 after an analysis. 3) No and no.

See above. Thanks.

Wow! Awesome! Thanks. Great deal indeed. How do I install one of these fans? I have three molex cables not in use. Do I use one of those?

I bought this computer back in January and the HDD got bad sectors in the boot sector after 8 months. Eight freaking months. My first priority is storage, since I listen to a lot of music and I'm an amateur movie buff. I watch a lot of c**p. I'm not complaining about speed, but if I was...

I've been doing some research on both HDDs and SSDs and I still can't make up my mind. To me, what it basically boils down to is selecting which advantages/disadvantages I want to have. Neither of the two are perfect, each with its own flaws. But seriously. What am I supposed to buy? EDIT...

I live in Serbia. That's how they sell pre-packaged computers here. Basically you have a set configuration for a set price. If I temper with what's inside, they might say:"Well, you probably screwed something up."

LOL, I opened the case after the HDD crashed. Also, how do you keep your case from gathering dust? EDIT: Reading it twice, I think you misunderstood. I opened the computer case, not the HDD itself.

Which brands do you recommend for HDD/SSD? It seems to me that everybody has his own opinion/experience. A friend of mine recommended Seagate, when in fact, my Seagate Barracuda croaked in 8 months. My guarantee is void, since I opened the case.

I am aware of the cost/storage ratio problem, and I don't mind. 120GB should be enough for Windows 7. It was enough before. Did you look at my specs below? Is it really worth the upgrade? Right now I have two SATA2 connectors. One is the DVD, the other was the HDD. I boot up Ubuntu every...

My Seagate Barracuda croaked a few weeks ago and I'm looking for a replacement. I wanted to ask your opinions about SSDs and HDDs. How reliable are SSDs? I'm thinking about: 1) Buying an 120GB SSD for booting up and system files + a 750-1000GB external HDD for my media. 2) Buying just...

You can see my specs below. As I had trouble finding the right distro of Linux and couldn't find up-to-date information online, I am asking you for help. Which Linux will support all my hardware? What is the latest/greatest distro?

Ok. How about Linux Mint 10 Gnome 64 bit? What version should I pick?

I already have Win 7 installed. I was curious about Linux, so I've downloaded Ubuntu Linux, 64-bit. Version 11.10. But the installation screens just look very messed up. Wrong colors and it all looks interlaced. I think it installed successfully, but when I try to boot it up, all I get is a...

Thanks for that bit of info. I wouldn't know otherwise. Here's the log: ================================================== Dump File : 012612-24336-01.dmp Crash Time : 1/26/2012 12:09:19 PM Bug Check String : UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP Bug Check Code : 0x0000007f...

I was watching a movie today, when all of a sudden I got the infamous BSoD. I reboot.... then it happens again. Why does it happen? EDIT: I've had this PC for 2 days.

How long have you been using this laptop? Have you ever cleaned the cooling unit? The back of your laptop can usually get clogged up with dust and hair. So take it apart and clean it out. Laptops automatically shut down if they overheat. I don't think it's the battery.

I'm getting my new computer soon and I'm not sure how I should partition it. Because of past experiences with hard disk space, I'm thinking about this: for C - 150GB (Win7 64bit, program files) Note:150GB might seem extreme, but I don't want to have problem with space on C ever again. for...
