    2 HDDs drop out of Intel RAID every shutdown, but not on restart or sleep

    Bought an EVGA 850W G3 which solved the problem. The computer also boots much faster interestingly enough.

    2 HDDs drop out of Intel RAID every shutdown, but not on restart or sleep

    I ordered a replacement PSU to see if that might fix it. I haven't been able to solve it so far.

    2 HDDs drop out of Intel RAID every shutdown, but not on restart or sleep

    Sorry for the delay guys, and thanks for your thoughts! Intel's RST hasn't reported anything, and it usually does support any unusual SMART stuff, but there may be something going on that it hasn't picked up. It doesn't give details --at least not in its BIOS interface just a warning if...

    2 HDDs drop out of Intel RAID every shutdown, but not on restart or sleep

    I have a 4-drive RAID 0 for working data on my main home computer. Occasionally in the past, if the power went out or for no reason at all that I could tell, 2 of the disks would drop out and show up as "non-RAID" on the boot screen. Deleting the array, putting it back together with identical...

    One computer can't ping another, but the problem is one-way

    Ya, definitely should have thought firewall as soon as I realized it wasn't talking back but had network connectivity...

    One computer can't ping another, but the problem is one-way

    Sorry for posting before doing as thorough a Google as I should've! Basically I was able to change the Network Location from Public to Private by: 1. Lowering UAC from "Always Notify" (highest) to the 2nd highest setting. 2. Going to Homegroups, and clicking "Change network location" (this...

    One computer can't ping another, but the problem is one-way

    Bah. It thinks it's on a Public network in network locations. I guess Windows 10 firewall rejects ICMP packets and even authenticated RDP connections when it thinks it's on a Public network. I'm Googling on how to change the Network Location setting from Public to Private, but it looks like...

    One computer can't ping another, but the problem is one-way

    Hmmm. The plot thickens. I booted up another computer, HOMEOFFICE2, and tried to ping BIKEDESK. HOMEOFFCE2 couldn't get a response from BIKEDESK either. But, again, BIKEDESK could ping HOMEOFFICE2. So, in both cases BIKEDESK can ping out, but other machines can't ping in. Obviously RDP was a...

    One computer can't ping another, but the problem is one-way

    I've got an odd networking problem that's driving me batty this Sunday afternoon. I tried to RDP into one of my home computers from another one this afternoon and RDP failed to connect. So pinged the computer, and 100% timeouts. I walked over to the computer and verified it was on. Checked the...

    Harmony Remote

    What are you doing / using if you don't mind me asking? I'm looking at receivers right now, and my primary requirement is that I can control it from my cell phone, because I hate remotes. The Pioneer VSX-1121-K is the current front runner.

    dSLR thread

    Anyone used a Sony NEX-7? Thinking about selling my 5D MkII and all my Canon stuff, and carrying a pair of smaller more comfortable cameras around. Usually I'm taking photos in one of two ways: 1) Documentary style with family or friends - in which case I shoot with a Canon 35mm or 100mm...

    Hitachi RMA support : bunch of bastards!

    I hope Western Digital's purchase of Hitachi doesn't cause the reliability to go to shit. Hitachi's have been by far the most reliable in my experience (and others' for that matter). It would be a shame to see the best hard drive manufacturer disappear. (It's worth mentioning that Backblaze...

    File synchronization options for large amounts of files

    Well, I definitely need to sort out these stability issues before I start blaming sync software --seeing as how no one else has problems... Mercutio: The machines at issue have 16GB of RAM, so I don't think that's the problem. Hard freezes using Teracopy or Windows' native file copier...

    Linksys E4200 134.99 at local Costco

    I just can't disable it. There's an exploit in the wild for WPS that allows WPA networks to be cracked. I was trying to disable WPS as a workaround to protect my wireless networks.

    Linksys E4200 134.99 at local Costco

    I can't disable WPS on the my WNDR3700's :( . For people who make their own routers, what are you doing? Linux boxes with a wireless NIC? What wireless NICs do you recommend for Linux? Are there compatible 5.4 Ghz ones yet? I looked into this about 3 years ago and came up empty.
