    operating system not found

    OS not found can be a symptom of many things. You will need to start with the process of elimination. However DO NOT RE INSTALL THE OS UNTIL YOU HAVE ACCESSED AND BACKED UP THE DATA! The first thing i would do is physically remove the HDD from the laptop and plug it into an external HDD reader...

    1600 ram on a 1333 mobo?

    Hey Worm 1600MHZ will work on your motherboard regardless. if you arent clocking the dimm slots to 1600 it will lower the clock speeds on the 1600 memory down to 1333. Its probably got the new Intel/AMD overclocking profile built in, in which it just ups the the frequency on the module. If you...

    problem formating micro SD memory card

    Hi Marm Could you maybe give me the exact SD memory module part number or product code. Its most possible it wont let you format the device because of the password lock on the SD card. Please get back to me so we can see if there is a way around this.

    I need Help for P8Z68-V-Pro Gen3 memory issue.

    Hey Jimmy That memory that you looking at isn't bad, i have had those modules in the past. Just a personal opinion however the Vengenance heatsink is very badly designed by corsair, and only really looks good in pictures nothing else. If i were to make a suggestion maybe look at Kingston ram...

    Faulty Ram - running memtest86

    CPU Cooler puts RAM under stress ( kind of )

    Hey Oscar I used to have the high profile vengeance ram. it is made of aluminium not plastic, it is an extremely badly designed heat sink and doesn't really serve as a cooler, its more there for the aesthetics of the RAM module. My personal opinion is just take the stupid RAM heat sink off. I...

    what RAM should i buy?

    Hey Jerome It is DDR3 1066MHZ memory, as far as i know you will be able to run a slightly higher frequency such as DDR3 1333MHZ, i would recommend it as it is around the same price and has the same latency but a slightly higher frequency. Brand wise i recommend Kingston, so maybe get 2 dimms of...

    Corsair TX650 V2 VS Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 600W

    thanks for the input i did have a look at that and that is generally the determining factor as for the effiecency i found the cooler master to only be about 4 to 6 percent more efficient which is marginal. The corsair also runs cooler by about 5 degrees, is louder however. Thanks for the input.
