what he said ;) I cant see it properly either, its making my eyes hurt. Try farnell electronics they will have it for sure and another electronics supplier forgot its name umm it irvine electronics or something Edit: It certainly looks like this...

Yeah I didnt have any trouble getting a new one for Quantum when it was owned by Maxtor at the time.

Yeh my friend always has issues with his Samsung hdd. Looks like we are running out of choices here.

Well i use the SMART utility pretty often and I am typing this message on the hard disk that has issues and just ran the SMART utility. If you know what each entry means I can dump the info here, but all of them lights up GREEN!

I agree with you completely there. My other Maxtor drive is about 4 yrs old now and has no problems whatsoever (touch wood). I am frustrated at the hdd vendor's RMA policy because in order to RMA a drive you must prove the fault by running their diagnostic utilities. I have experienced...

I think its just plain bad luck. I turn the PC on and off almost every day but its still no reason as to why they are dying on me. Also, I still dont understand why standing it vertically helps it to survive, although I dont know for how much longer it can withstand this.

its the opposite really. when they were mounted horizontally (with 4 screws), the closed case has a side fan that blows air directly onto the motherboard and the hard disk. However, now I simply removed the hdd and without mounting it, just let it dangle vertically inside the case and the...

Hi, I dont seem to have any luck with hard drives as my second hdd is dying in less than 2 years of service. Unfortunately the seagate was warranted for a year (could you believe that!) and my previous Maxtor that died was also warranted for a year. Anyway to cut the story short, I...

You know I was about to say the same thing ;) heck if I read all books like that i would have become a professor :)

well thats an unusual problem then. Blame it on the mobo :D

I would be inclined to say that the CPU is either overheating or the PS isnt giving enough juice to the motherboard and/or the video card. Sometimes CPU temperature monitoring tools do not give a good indication of the actual CPU temp. Try putting your finger need the side of the CPU heatsink...

thanks for the replies. Altcon, 1) I have updated the bios to the latest. Made no difference. 2)It is single channel only. 3)done that, no errors when I tried running on one slot at a time - running in 2nd slot or 3rd slot would not work. 4)Mem settings are set to default in BIOS. Set by...

Yep, it is double sided. As far as I can tell, the manual states that you may put 2 double sided DIMMS in the memory slots and should work no problem. I have tried memtest although one stick at a time (to save time), and they both came up ok. I have also raised the voltage by 0.1V in the...

I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this problem before. In short, Windows XP will either blue screen, or randomly reboot the PC, whenever I stick in 2 matching pairs of RAM in TWO slots. I have tried 512MB pairs and 1GB pairs of Hynix RAM. If I down clock the RAM to 166MHz...

dont think so. Almost every 19" lcds out there are 6-bit panels.
