windows 7 / hardware issues?

After multiple bsod I ran the Memory Diagnostic tool and errors were found. I removed each stick and tested them one at a time and each tested with out errors. So I am guessing I have a motherboard problem? Also, now every time windows restarts the check disk program runs. How do I get this to stop?...

installing windows

I don't hear much talk about this but it sounds like a good idea for people that like to install programs on a separate drive - installing windows on something like the d/ drive and leaving c/ open to let programs default c drive installation. sounds too easy, are there any disadvantages?

Re: building a budget pc

My hangup was trying to figure out which mobo to get! I finally "discovered" SATA 6 and upgraded my mobo for future ssd possibilities and found one with usb3.0 to boot. I think its worth the 20$ price increase since the sale had ended on the other board anyways :disgust: . I also got a 64m...

Is there any use for the two 500GB IDE drives that I will no longer be using? It would be nice if I could use them for some kind of network storage or backup devices!?!

Re: building a budget pc

I reconfigured my system build - So far I like the price. EDIT; yeah I haven't even started to look into video cards yet... I figured I would go for the ssd 75$ instant rebate :) (I know next year the same one will only be 25$) from my point of view it looks okay but if its possible get a decent per...

Re: building a budget pc

The big question is your budget. Do you have an approximate dollar figure? While a dual core might do, you may find that a quad core is easily affordable now (it all depends on your budget). Processor (and with that motherboards) and video card choices are extremely variable depending on price. An ...

building a budget pc

My main usage is no longer gaming since I don't have that much time. What I find myself doing mostly is using SolidWorks o9 + or PhotoShop + web surfing on a second monitor while listing to music or streaming NPR. I also have my HDtv connected to watch hd MX races that currently play in slow motion....
