Sounds like there may be an issue with my case -- Coolermaster HAF 922. I'm going to try a few known fixes tonight.

I have a gut feeling this has something to do with my PSU. For the past few weeks, whenever I am attempting to plug something in to one of my USB ports (either front or back), the PC will shut off immediately. It seems like there is some type of shortage going on. I have not made any...

Thank you!! I used MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition, and there was an option to automatically align my disk. I rebooted and after a short delay, my PC booted back up and the disk is now showing OK under the alignment part of AS SSD. Thanks! What specific benefit does this give?

I am using SATA II. Unfortunately I do not have SATA III on this motherboard, but the SSD speeds are still great from what I am seeing. I will check in AS SSD mentions AHCI -- that was my main reason for getting it, but I couldn't figure out where that was. This is all I am seeing in the...

Thank you! Is this the correct software to test that I am using the SSD properly? http://www.filehippo.com/download_asssdbenchmark/ And I got this model: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820248016 I heard it was pretty good. Thanks everyone, I am going to put everything...

Gotcha, yeah.. It sounds like most people recommended against storing their personal libraries on SSDs due to size concerns. That being said, if I can fit my files, I will try to do so. I don't write to those locations that often, and as you said, the SSD is likely going to live a long long time...

Thank you! Any issue with installing other programs to the SSD? I put Malwarebytes, programs that control my peripherals(keyboard/mouse, and game controllers), and my Video Editing programs -- Nero Vision 10, Flipshare(contains a library of my videos -- the library itself is on the data drive...

I was told I should reinstall all of my Programs on the SSD. Are there any types of programs that I should NOT install? Also, am I correct in thinking that I essentially want to store anything that just gets read alot on my SSD, but not gets written to? This is the point of an SSD, right? Fast...

Also, if I go with the dual-boot, what is the best way to go back to single boot from the SSD once I have migrated all my Windows settings to the SSD?

Is there a way to just select my boot device at startup instead of having the dual boot menu? What is causing the hang when I do it this way? Is there a way to fix the MBR? Really, I will only be dual-booting for a little while. I just want to migrate my settings from the original OS to the...

Got my new SSD in, and reinstalled my OS (Win7 64) to it. As instructed by most online guides, I unplugged my primary OS drive as well as my secondary data drive that were in my SATA ports 1 & 2 prior to installing the OS. OS installed fine, however: Once I plugged my SATA 1 & SATA 2 drives...

No dice. I can disable my monitor with Ultramon, but no way to clone using Ultramon. Seems like such a basic feature to be left out. Edit: Creating a profile with an extended desktop will work, and my secondary will be with my TV as the primary monitor. I suppose this will work for now.

I'm behind a receiver, so it might be a little tricky. I'm worn out from all the troubleshooting so far as it is.. I think I'll just settle for the hotkeys for the time being. Thanks again!

Ran across a thread here: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1766384 Haven't looked into it much yet. It might be unattainable for me as well, since my TV is connected behind a Yamaha receiver. But going to at least look into it later on.

Perfect way to describe the issue. Unfortunately it seems like that's how Windows does it. I can't tell it not to behave that way. I found a thread that shows a way to hack a TV to be 120hz, some people have had success. If I can manage that, I could probably set both displays to 120hz...

Ha! That's great... I actually own that program already. As you said, I'm not much of a fan of third party programs, but I do appreciate Ultramon. I will definitely have to play around with this. Thanks! :) Of course, I'd love to solve the issue itself, but I'm starting to think it might be a...

After some testing last night it appears that as long as I am cloning my primary 120hz monitor to my 60hz TV(through a receiver), I am unable to get higher than ~60fps. It's like Windows thinks I'm capped at 60fps. Unless I "extend" my desktop, I am unable to get the correct performance on my...

No worries at all. :) Correct -- I have one 144hz monitor and my secondary "monitor" is actually a Yamaha receiver that passes video through to two 60hz televisions. I think you are exactly correct that VSync is getting confused between the two "monitors". If I run both monitors at 60hz I get...

UPDATE It seems that this is happening when I have my other monitors plugged in. Something seems to be causing my programs to think that my primary monitor is not my primary monitor. I can change my refresh rate on my main monitor, but VSync seems to ignore it. What could be happening when...
