I think I figured it out. Somehow it's my graphics card causing the issue. I removed it and used the onboard graphics card and I have no issues. So I have to figure out now if the card is dying or what's going on. Thank you for the reply Clutchc!

No electrical oddities here at home. Everything else in the room and house work without issues.

About two weeks ago my computer rebooted without warning and I received a notification about an Asus anti-surge protection which was the reason for the reboot. We had no blackout or anything. And it's been happening daily since then, sometimes a few times a day. Assuming it was due to a faulty...

Darkbreeze, I went with your second option and contacted Corsair. A replacement is being sent to me as I write this :) I must say, their customer service was very impressive. Thanks Paul, glad to know it's not just me who had the issue. An immediate solution wasn't required and it's a good...

I am attempting to install the backplate for my H100i GTX cooler on my motherboard but I found out one of the standoffs will not screw in properly. I thought it was the standoff itself but when I tried that standoff in another hole it worked fine, so it's definitely the hole itself which is the...

Hi PCIBUSDRIVER, Thanks for the help. I checked and nothing at all loads in the device manager when I insert the card into it, which I'll assume isn't a good sign. What do you recommend next to fix the issue?

Thanks for the suggestion but I'd like to get mine working before I purchase a new one. Both the computer and the SD card are several years old. They've worked with no issues for me until last night when it wouldn't recognize the card.

I use an old PC to store photos from my digital camera because it has an SD reader built into it whereas my current one does not. Each time I insert the card into the slot I am prompted to view the photos and such, but tonight I inserted the card in and no options came up. It seems the card is...

Thanks for the suggestion, I could do that but I'd really like to just use the current one I have. I think it's just a matter of figuring out why it doesn't recognize my card. I doubt it's completely dead. Also unfortunately I am unable at the moment to test the card elsewhere.

Thanks all for the help. Definitely going to try to put the drivers on it from this computer. I appreciate all the responses. And my mistake on the 1394 connection. Looks like I learned something!

Thanks so much! I'll give this a try. And yes, I know that Microsoft doesn't support XP any more but this is an old laptop I just use to play around on. It's not a catastrophe if something bad happens to it or anything on it.

I have an old Compaq NC8430 laptop. It previously had Windows 2000 on it and it connected to my wireless router with no issues. I formatted it and installed Windows XP on it and now it doesn't seem to be able to even show me that it has a wireless card in it. When I go to Network Connections it...

Thanks for the reply. I'm likely going to just buy a new fan & heatsink, but I wanted to see if there was perhaps an option I hadn't thought of. At this point a new computer isn't an option for me. I believe the fan is just dead, but just in case there was something which I could do to bring it...
