Thanks. Unfortunately it doesn't even make it to the first reboot. I've tried yanking out the drive as soon as it's finished "loading" files but no luck.

Just built a new computer and the Windows splash screen comes up after "Loading Files" then as soon as the colors on the Windows logo combine it reboots. This happens with both Windows 7 install disc, Windows 7 install flash drive, and Windows 10 install flash drive. The only drive connected...

I'm currently using this AT&T DSL Modem which includes a wireless network. When I try and transfer files/stream locally it bogs down the internet connection. I've tested this by transferring a large file from my tablet to my laptop and then doing a Speedtest. My goal is to have ZERO local...

I'm interested in setting up a home security camera, but I'm unclear on how a modem and/or router CAN handle traffic. My connection is a VERY unreliable 3mbps DSL, and obviously cannot even handle the load of one YouTube video being watched @ 720p. Can I install a router to handle the traffic...

I recently purchased: 24" Monitor I was previously using: 27" Monitor This is my video card: Radeon HD 7970 I plugged in the 24" and made it the primary no problem. Then I reformatted due to Windows being Windows. When I reformatted I used ONLY the 24" monitor via DVI. After complete...

Unfortunately my resolution is somewhat vague. While the BIOS was stating that the DVD (or USB flash drive) was the first in the boot priority AND UEFI enabled Windows still would not recognize it was started via UEFI. What I did was rollback the BIOS to a previous version and did the same...

The BIOS is updated and is ONLY UEFI enabled. I've run: DISKPART> attributes disk clear readonly DISKPART> clean DISKPART> convert mbr (or gpt) DISKPART> create partition primary DISKPART> select part 1 DISKPART> active (if this is the boot partition) DISKPART> format fs=ntfs label=(name)...

I am trying to install Windows 7 64 bit to a 3TB HDD formatted using the GPT format. I've tried booting from the CD in UEFI as well as a USB Flash drive in UEFI. Both result in Windows installer going to select the partition in which to install Windows error "Windows cannot install to this...

I'm having an issue with Windows 7 Home not recognizing 3TB drives. They show up as 746.5GB in Windows Setup (3TB in BIOS), and I have them running in RAID1 (via Intel RST 10.8). From everything I could find this was a problem with Intel RST 10.1 and older, and should no longer be an issue OR...

Just "future-proofing" as phyco126 said. However you both have a good point and it's the reason I posted here. Going to make a RAM adjustment. Also.. should I go for the max 2200 speed the board supports? I just noticed I selected the 1600... And thank you for the PSU suggestion!

Even a simple "Checks out ok" would be great. Like I said, I'm looking for some "experienced" opinions on the compatibility and abilities of the system I've listed above. Thanks in advance!

Hey all I'm building a new comp from the ground up, and while I know the basics about hardware it's a sliver of the knowledge the community here has. I'm essentially going for a gaming (frames per second) setup, but multi-tasking is a close second. Any feedback is welcome and please let me...
