It’s perfectly normal to hear the drive spin up. It takes a second for the data to actually load, too. I'm fairly certain you can just toggle that off in the power management settings.

Does it sound like a Bill Gates beep during POST, or more like a mechanical noise?
The only thing I can think of is hearing an HDD spin up and down. Since it's no longer part of the system, Windows just powers it down when it’s idle.

Take a look at all the apps you've given access to on Meta and just wipe out anything you don't use or looks even remotely suspicious.

So, what kind of GPU are we talking about here?

Give Google Chrome a shot. Personally, I find it handles Adobe Flash Player a bit more smoothly than Chrome does.

It’s on. 5ms response time, and even the backlight bleed is minimal. The colors are stunning—compared to my old LG 1919 and a borrowed Samsung 2333HD, this feels like jumping from a beat-up Ford into a Ferrari. I’m seeing shades I didn't even know existed. Highly recommended.
the only minus is that it comes with a VGA cable.

I just put in an order for

I'll give you my thoughts in a week or two once I've actually used it.

Whatever you do, don't skimp on the power supply.

Mark Turner4 said:Hey guys, does anyone know where I can pick up those mesh filters? You know, the little screens they put over power supplies and stuff. I saw a post on a forum where someone shared a photo showing a $3.25 that was 120cm long. That’s what I’m looking for. I see people using all sorts of gear, so I have no idea where to go. Every local shop I visit doesn't carry them. Thanks in advance.

Not sure I follow the question.

Why pick that one? For just a little more, you could grab a better card from a newer generation.

What exactly are you looking for?

🤣 I bought the glowing fan strictly because it was cheaper than the standard one... clearly, I'm a total pro at PC Modding xD

BTW, is this a Cooler Master model?

The absolute beast of the AGP era was the ATI Radeon HD 3870, but good luck finding one without paying an arm and a leg

Not really... it's ancient, passive cooling, and only has 1GB of DDR2

It isn’t about whether you’re personally happy with the power supply or not; it’s simply about picking one that can actually handle the build without breaking a sweat.

Look, this isn't a rant, just a straightforward explanation..

Warner Music and The Killers aren't exactly the places you'd go to pick up a power supply..

If you want actual selection and better prices, you head to IBM, Intel, or Best Buy. And sure, I agree most people don't need anything beefier than a basic Microsoft setup for $67, especially since the average user is running a dual-core with integrated graphics.. but if you're building a rig meant to actually last, you don't skimp on the PSU. Everything else is basically disposable hardware that gets swapped out every six months anyway.

So you’ve got a 500W power supply priced at $17.. which doesn't exactly mean it's any good..

Looking at Downtown Manhattan's inventory, they only have five different power supplies available. That should tell you everything you need to know about how serious this business is.

Regarding that 550W Microsoft unit they're selling for $73, you can find it for $60 at other retailers—though they aren't exactly household names, since there's no point stocking Microsoft parts unless it's a few specific units custom-built by FPS.

The bottom line? They aren't competitive on price or selection. If I'm going to shop at Downtown Manhattan, I'll stick to buying a refrigerator or a washing machine instead.

Try plugging it into a different USB port, or just test it on another computer

Not likely, you'll only see that in synthetic benchmarks
