    Blue screen of death: Bad_Pool_Header

    Here's my chkdsk output from elevated command prompt: I'm not running anything else - I'm guessing it's "in use" because this is my boot drive.

    Blue screen of death: Bad_Pool_Header

    Thanks for the reply. I've read that too - I've tried to remove all programs I've downloaded from the past month (how long this has been going on) to no avail, and I haven't added any new devices to the pc. Is there any way to narrow down the culprit? I don't know how to read crash dump files...

    Blue screen of death: Bad_Pool_Header

    So only recently has my newly built (6 months or less) computer been crashing with BSOD. It's always bad_pool_header that's causing it and I just can't figure out how to fix it. I've ran memtest86 and all my RAM is completely fine. I really wanted to run windows repair from the windows 8 CD...

    2 GTX 760s in motherboard, can I use bottom card only?

    I currently only have 2 pcie 6 pin power cables. This is enough to run 1 gtx 760. The problem is only my top 760 seems to be working. When I plug it in, my computer runs and the display shows. However if I plug the 2x6 pins into my bottom 760 (by bottom i mean the lower PCIe slot in my mobo)...

    Nvidia Surround: 3X 24" Monitors, or 3X 27" Monitors?

    From your experience guys, what do you think will feel better in terms of casual gaming and everyday multi-monitor use? Money is not the issue right now as I'm able to get either of the 2 relatively cheap, but if the 27" setup is too large say to focus on things, I'd be going for the 24". Let...

    Has anyone Watercooled the Maximus VI formula? I'm thinking about it but.. corrosion?

    Just an update, I'm not going to use Swiftech hydrx (looks worse than I thought in clear tubes), but either Mayhems Pastel or distilled water + Mayhems UV dye.

    Which 120mm Radiator should I get? (2 options)

    If anyone's interested, I went with the MCR120-qp.

    Which 120mm Radiator should I get? (2 options)

    leaning towards the MCR120 since it looks like a tried and true option, but really would like to hear if there are any advantages for either. They both look like two-pass single rads, the MCR seems to include barbs which may be a plus but I might remove them for compression fittings anyways...

    Which 120mm Radiator should I get? (2 options)

    Has anyone Watercooled the Maximus VI formula? I'm thinking about it but.. corrosion?

    Thank you Raja for the link. I have seen those salt-sprayed pictures, but wasn't sure if it would be appropriately comparable to a liquid coolant with biocide. I will go ahead and liquid cool my Maximus VI formula's cross-chill block using Hydrx PM Green UV coolant and post my results in a...

    Has anyone Watercooled the Maximus VI formula? I'm thinking about it but.. corrosion?

    I'm wondering if anyone has any experience of their own, because I too know of the issue of anodized aluminum blocks posing a potential corrosion problem. However, I haven't actually SEEN or heard of any corrosion pictures/videos of the VI formula on the internet yet though which has me being...

    Has anyone Watercooled the Maximus VI formula? I'm thinking about it but.. corrosion?

    I would like to add watercooling loops to the cross-chill motherboard block since I have all the components readily available. I just want to know if there will be any corrosion problems if my other pieces are XSPC Raystorm Acetal/Copper CPU waterblock + copper radiator? Has anyone watercooled...
