When the BIOS isn't powered by a min voltage it isn't stabilized and when you turn on the comp it gets the required voltage but isn't ready for the I/O requests it is now getting. In essence it is scrambled, but in most cases a new battery fixes the problem. I'll send you a PM with some proof...

Experience.

Check if you have anything like mem sticks, camera card etc plugged into a USB jack. If so unplug them. Usual indicator will be a black screen with a flashing dash in the upper left corner if I remember right. Edit to add: If it is really old put a new BIOS battery into it. If the battery is...

I haven't ruined any that I build or repair. Static isn't really a big issue where I am plus I don't work in a carpeted area, I do touch a grounded source before I build/work but don't wear a strap. As far as a new build goes with a new CPU/heatsink unless you plan on serious overclocking the...

Quinn, unless the forum rules have changed I don't think you are allowed to sell items here until you have 100 posts and you can only advertise in the "For Sale" section.

Use KillDisk, reinstall OS. No virus will survive. I'm sure that johnb35 can straighten out your existing install if you want to take the time and follow his instructions to the letter.

Other than what Agent Smith said, the HP DVD writer 740b is junk. I bought one new a few years back because it was cheap $$. Worked OK for awhile then quit burning/playing DVDs. After searching the web I found it is a common problem with that model. I recommend you buy a replacement if you want...

I've bought plenty of stuff from only a picture and description, haven't been burned once. It was also obvious that he was nearby since you stated that you would need to hook it up first and I doubt that would happen at McDonald's or were you expecting him to ship it you to test before he gets...

That reminds me, I do remember reading somewhere that sometimes the update will throw it into a loop when booting up. I don't recall more about it since I have no intention of going to 10 for a long time and didn't follow the follow-ups on it.

He probably does have someone coming to look at it. Usually whoever commits first gets the luxury of having it put on hold until they buy it or turn it down. If you would have committed and set up a time before the other inquired he would be told what the seller told you. Edit: He put "All...

Glad you found it, but I am surprised that the yoke feeds power out the USB plug.

It didn't say on the box so I looked at the drive and it's a Q Series Pro.

Has anyone tried it? I hear it is better than others for Astrological photo processing.

The CMOS battery isn't even tied into the GPU or USB jacks. You need to look elsewhere. Edit: You haven't even told us what your system is.

All right I'll give it a shot. Edit: Drive is a Q Series Pro.

This was the Phenom II x4 970 and Asus mb that I got from JLuchinski a few years back. But the I7 setup will improve processing time on telescope pics. Might even get PixInsight to try since it is supposed to be better than Photoshop for this kind of work.

Update: New PS installed and everything is up and running. Thanks. Now I'm suspecting the issues I was experiencing with the old hardware was the PS. Guess I'll be ordering another case, PS and put it back together and see what happens. In any case it was an excuse to move from a Phenom II to an...

That's what I wanted to make sure of. I will have a new PS later today. I opened up the old PS and found leaking caps so I will repair it later and use it on something else. My only experience with SSD are the ones I have in my servers running Linux.

I just got parts to put a new system together. While installing the OS and it was finalizing the install on a new SSD when the system stopped and rebooted and told me I have an unstable PS. After I get a new PS what is the best way to reinstall? I read somewhere awhile back that erasing is bad...

It's nowhere near perfect but will pass for what I am using it for. Adding some bull horns (animal) that I cropped from a car pic. Curb feelers are of 2 types: electric and cheap. It has feelers that upon coming in contact with a curb make noise. The electric contacts a switch that operates a...
