    It's been 100 for 3 days here...What a great Labor Day Week.

    Yeah, the Sierras, where there is the tallest mountain in the continental US (Mt. Whitney @ 14,495ft). I climbed it a few times, once in winter...wasn't cold at all :roll: Just teasing, of course.... 100F here today, probably some of the warmest weather of the year. Annual average is 60F with...

    Weatherbug is most certainly spyware. And I believe the newer versions also manage some popup windows from time to time.

    BIOS Issues...

    That's from the BIOS before it choked (completely at idle). When doing basig tasks it runs @ 800Mhz @ 0.9v. I'm really impressed with the number of things I can do quickly without it speeding up. Making any changes to the BIOS causes the error in the OP.

    Copying from one location to another

    Which it is under certain circumstances. The ability to "pour" the entire transfer at once to a 3rd location, then "pour" the data back @ STR speeds versus only being able to pour as much as the hard drive cache allows before having to stop, seek, read, seek again, and continue. I mught even...

    Copying from one location to another

    That wouldn't really work, as the drive wouldn't know if sector y oon drive b was available. If the OS provided that information as part of the command I can see it working; but on more fragmented drives the commands might take longer than the data itself. Further, isn't the copying process...

    Poor cooling HDD selection...

    I actually did this swap the other day, and the HDD is running cool enough under standard load without any fans. Ambient at home is quite high (80F) and the HDD is currently @ 113F ... looks good enough to me.

    BIOS Issues...

    Better motherboards also have "Clear CMOS" jumpers, but pulling the battery does the same thing. Checking to see if the motherboard is grounded is a great idea. I'll check that out when I get back to the house. I'm not seeing how a second BIOS could prevent this kind of thing more than once...

    nforce2 Audio strangeness

    None of my nForce-based systems have had this issue either; but I've phased out most of them already so I can't say for sure. I also only use the analog outs, so if it only affects the digital out I wouldn't know. All the boards are ASUS A7N8X-whatever (E/X/Deluxe/etc)

    Poor cooling HDD selection...

    So in my new favorite PC (a quiet one for my bedroom) I currently have a 1st gen WD360GD "Raptor" hard drive. The chasis is an Antec P160 all-aluminiun with aluminium drive rails and locates them right near the front large vent opening. However, there are no case fans in this chassis at all; and...

    SD or AXDA?

    According to a thread linked to by a member here, the only heatsink able to manage the lower height of the mobile CPUs (no heat spreader) is the Thermaltake SLK-948U. I've had really good experiences with them in conjunction with Panaflo "L" fans on the 92mm size @ 5v. It still runs at under 100F.

    Greased Disk??

    Although you do have to be wary of the "Extra Virgin" title, as it is misrepresented fairly often. Frequently these aircraft will have been taken out of the hangar in the past for "test flights" or "private charters", then put back in the hangar and marketed as "Extra Virgin".
