Yea I have a Western Digital 250 GB Hard Drive.

However, the piece that fell off is actually my Legacy controller's heatsink (from my mobo). So I dont know what the hell that WD 250GB sensor does...

damn...isnt that whats stopping the code from being run?

o and its new years eve baby! YAY-A

How would you suggest I do that? Seriously, cuz I see no rhyme or reason to it, and my virus scans with AVG, Kaspersky, Trend Micro, and Spybot all came up negative.

If there is no other solution,...

crap! its spreading!!! i began messing around tryin to test my move files theory again, and made a small amount of progress, it wasnt happening except when i opened certain files, and then i found...

o guess what? something (actually three things!!) just popped off my mobo...its the heatsink to my Legacy controller, a bar that crossed over the heatsink, and jumper like piece that was embedded in...

I have Windows Defender installed, and whenever I open the My Videos folder, which contains tons of movies, Windows Defender warns me that malicious code is being run, and it has to close...

I used to have VLC, and took it off, but I never had compatibility issues until now. and besides. i have since reobtained the files, and they work fine. so im unsure - perhaps they were corrupted...?

also, im redownloading the songs. if anyone figures out why this happened, or whatever, then go ahead and post because i still wanna know. however, this will be marked as solved - even though i never...

nah they just DONT WORK. :( its like the codec is gone to play them. because it tells me they are encoded wrong, even though i know they arent (since i played these files, nearly every one of them,...

My problem is that I have quite a few music files that suddenly have stopped working. Used to work fine, but then...

yea i do trust the BIOS over this program. and if there was an important sensor needed to be read from, it would be listed in the BIOS before some fan speed adjuster program. the BIOS temps both read...

i rechecked, and oddly enough, the temps in the BIOS arent showing the high temp. speedfan showed 65 degrees C after some lengthy use without the external deskfan. there were also some that were at...

had a system shutdown today. not sure if its related, because while my RAID drivers were not enabled, i dont have a RAID config. and thanks Caper, i thought of this but i wasnt sure if i could use...

i probably should have stated this upfront. back when i first checked the temp i monitored it from the BIOS. the temps in speedfan are accurate, or very close to those from the BIOS. it rises so...

yes I agree with this guy, please use the correct words/proofread your posts and/or know what you are talking about.

also I dont think there is a fan in my harddrive, ive worked with them enough...

well i have 5 sensors - the chips for each temperature reading are

three are the same - 'IT8712F'
one is 'ACPI'
and the hot one is 'HD0 (250.1 GB)'

NOTE: my hard drive is a 250 GB drive also,...

i had some problems, suspected that cooling was a factor. so I got the Speedfan software, and all but one of the labels for the temperature readings were foreign to me, except the one labelled 'HD0...

I guess problem is gone, i no longer have spontaneous restarts. i decided i would try several of the solutions, and see if the problem continued, and it does not. what i did was: updated SiS chipset...

ok well i spose i will have to run this off of a bootdisk?

ok I got a blue screen today.
It said the following in the first few lines, but they seem useless to me:

A problem has detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer....

the temp is quite high, if it says 57 when its been idle for 12 hours, and you just started it up, then you have a fan thats not running fast enough, not enough fans, or both.

if your system has...

one of the requirements of many games is to have fully updated DirectX drivers and graphics card drivers also, which many times can be overlooked.

go to your video card's site to obtain these...

k, ill be sure to post when i get another error
tryin to recreate now

hi, and thanks

do you have the latest version downloaded? can you message other users?

It may not be one thing causing his problems. Here is what I do know.

VNC in general is Virtual Network Computing, and a company called RealVNC has written a program to enable this, and claims on...

I got a new 500 watt PSU to solve the problem, and it still happens. It usually... :rolleyes: only happens during virus scans using Spybot search and destroy, or AVG

I even opened my case to air...

yea - i could only laugh (in horror and fury) when i see mic outputs go to inputs labelled left and right. what a pile of crap is what i thought. mics have ONE CHANNEL. so this task required me to...

well, i have come a long way since i last posted, by just tossing the manual in the trash. i have found that

1. jumpers across pins 5/6 and 9/10 make rear output jack work. take the jumpers off...

my mobo doesnt have this as the pin descriptors. i have

Hey everyone, Im the new guy - dmguitar0

Im 23, love playing guitar in our metal band, eating fritos, and being painfully blunt. Well thats not all I like, but its a little about me. I came here...

I cant seem to figure out what is wrong with the connection of my front panel mic jack. My motherboard manual says to connect it to the correct pins, and has a note that says:

If your front panel...
