Thanks Natsukage. I will try looking for B75 motherboards, with total 5 or more sata ports including about 2 sata3 ports. I am not in a hurry, so I will search around and see what I find. Thanks for helping.

Hi I do not the exact same problem as I have xeon e3-1240 which can't be overclocked. So, I was actually wondering if there is a nice motherboard for around $150 which might be worth upgrading from intel dq67sw motherboard. Theguyinthefront, I cannot suggest any psu, but I think that cooler...

Thank you Elbert. I am thankful for your advice. I will try to repair the hdd if possible, and will look for a ssd on sale or something. Thanks!

Sorry about the wrong info. I am glad to hear that you knew about the wrong information. Ok, I was able to install windows OS after removing the bad ram. Thank you very much guys. It is strange that this is my 2nd PC I bought used, and the 1st one I bought also had same problem; one out of two...

I had you guys misleading information about ram because it was from the advertisement. The ram modules are non-ecc CMY16GX3M2A cl9 1600.

I did, and it would appear that 1 stick is still ok. I will try installing windows again once the testing passes 100%

Guys, I got the machine, and it's running ubuntu. Unfortunately, I just lost ubuntu while trying to install windows. I wanted to do a fresh install, and got an error in the middle of installation. Now, I started running memtest, and it is scaring me; just a few minutes of testing gave 60k...

Thank you very much for the information. Actually, when I asked him to install windows, I wrote that 30 day trial should be fine just to show that machine works in windows OS. Unfortunately, he did not post exact motherboard model, but from the pictures of the machine I was able to find the...

Thank you for your quick response. I am glad to hear that windows can be installed on that server machine. I hope he just made some silly mistake trying to install OS. If the see that machine running ubuntu, will it be safe to assume that components of the machine are good?

Hello everyone, Today, I am about to buy a used server pc with the following specs- Xeon E3 1240 3.3Ghz Ram- 16 GB ECC ddr3 Motherboard chipset- Intel q67 Graphics card. 3 500GB hard drives in raid configuration. So, This person has ubuntu installed on the system to show that it works. I...

Testdisk didn't do any good as it couldn't find the partition I wanted to recover. Using windows disk, I started system repair, It found problems and tried to repair it. Luckily, It added an option to boot the windows for which I had deleted "system reserved" partition. But, now it isn't how I...

Hello everyone, Here's my situation- I have two hard drives, and windows 7 is installed in one of it(say 1). I decided to install windows 7 on the other hard drive(say 2) too. When I was doing a clean install, while making partitions, I accidentally deleted "system reserved" partition of 1...

But, my system can run on 2gb until I buy another stick. Don't you think that I should install windows using it? Because 1 ram stick is faulty,should i assume that cpu, and hard drives are error free, and that whatever checksum errors i got were because of ram? Since we are talking about memory...
