Hoping someone can shed some light... 8 months ago I installed a 1TB Sandisk SSD in my Win7 desktop. Cloned the HDD to it. It worked great; I loved the speed increase. After install/cloning, I ran the sandisk utility once. S.M.A.R.T. info showed no bad blocks or errors; status was listed as...

Trying to figure out and learn about boot drive / bios weirdness. I've got an HP 750-055xt desktop with Win7 pro, 64-bit, SP1. It came with a 1TB HDD 4 years ago. I bought another 1TB HDD right away, and every few months used Macrium Reflect to clone the boot drive onto the other one. Then I...

I've got a 8 month old Sandisk 1 TB ssd. Works fine, never ran into a problem, until discovering bad sectors during a backup clone operation. Based on that, plus some numbers from S.M.A.R.T. reporting software (crystaldisk, victoria, sandisks own utility), everybody says "the drive is...

On the one hand, yes, I wouldn't want a cloning program to just go ahead and ignore an issue like this. On the other hand, it would be nice if a cloning program gave a warning, logged bad sectors, and gave me the option of continuing with the further warning that some files may be corrupted. Is...

I've got a 3-4 year old pc. It came with a 1TB HDD, and right away I bought another internal 1TB HDD and ran Macrium Reflect to clone the original drive, then disconnected the clone. For 3 years, every 3-4 months, I would connect the 2nd drive, clone the boot drive to it, shut down, and swap the...

After spending all day playing around with things, I found the solution. There is apparently some sort of conflict with Microsoft Security Essentials and some browsers. With MSE active, all browsers work fine with a very slow (~5 mbps DSL connection). On a faster (~30 mbps) connection, Firefox...

For the past several years I have had Verizon DSL in my home. Devices in use on network are Win7 Pro desktop, older Mac laptop with OSX 10.6.8, an ipad, an apple tv, occasionally an iphone. All devices worked just fine. Apple devices connect via WiFi of course; the desktop was hardwired via...

I read your thread, and it's obviously the same problem since we both have an hp model with that motherboard, which is known to have a defect. I've been trying to find out exactly what the problem is, but have been unsuccessful. I've tested the RAM, drive, PSU, and monitored temps while...

Wondering if anyone has any idea exactly *what* the problem is on some HP series machines from about 3 years ago with this motherboard. According to : http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03199423 there was an extended warranty put in place due to problems with...
