Looks like the problem was the USB to SATA III adapter I was using. I ended up trying out the UNITEK USB 3.0 to Sata 6G Converter and the drive is working just fine.

I don't hear anything at all coming from it when I plug it in. This cable should be fine for using it with the HDD I have right? That would be unfortunate. How long do they normally last?

It is about 3 years old now and has never been dropped. It was running great about 4 months ago connected to a desktop PC.

I am trying to get an external WD Green WD10EZRX HDD to show up on my Gateway M285-e Laptop running Windows 7 using a RUIZHI USB 3.0 to SATA III Adapter Cable. When I plug it in nothing shows up under My Computer, Disk Management, or Device Manager. I tried it on another laptop as well running...

I'll keep messing with it for a bit and try out the port replicator if all else fails. Will it also work no matter what similar to the ps/2?

Thanks, unfortunately my laptop doesn't have any ps/2 ports to use. Just 3 usb slots.

I have a Gateway 285-E laptop with Windows 7 installed that I am trying to upgrade to Windows 10. Everytime the computer restarts to complete the installation it goes to a blue "Choose your keyboard layout" screen where the built in keyboard and mouse is completely unresponsive. I don't have an...

Thanks, the RX 580 brands seem to mostly have similar performances compared to one-another, would you recommend any of them over one-another?

Sorry, I messed up my original post and added more details. I'm considering the 570/580 currently. I'm currently leaning towards the 580.

I'm looking for a GPU with similar performance to my old R9 380 for a gaming PC, hopefully I can find one by next week some time. Currently using it for Sekiro and Resident Evil II. I don't really feel the need to go beyond what I had beyond performance-wise and the AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB seems...

Are you talking about the PCIe connectors? My PSU only has 2 and the GPU is using them both. Otherwise everything else that's plugged in is working fine.

I am trying to determine what is wrong with my GPU which is an 3 year old MSI R9 380 that just went out of warranty. Currently the lights on the GPU are on, but the fans aren't spinning and it can't be detected by Speccy or Device Manager. I have tried re-seating it and the ram, re-installing...
