Motherboard without any PCI slots? in Hardware ·
Joshua Garcia3 said:So, what does the manual actually say about those jumpers (the ones on the right and left sides) on this PCI-E card?

Look, you have to link those two drives via USB so they can actually "talk" to each other. 😉

bluecobra18 said:Yeah, depends on where the USB is located.
Moved everything around, still nothing...🤷

Did you actually plug in the SATA and USB cables and seat the cards properly? Or did you skip one of those steps?

If you're hooking up a dual-slot card to an internal PCIe bracket connector, the jumpers need to be on the right. If you're connecting to an external port, then the jumpers go on the left.
Anyone still running Windows 7? in Software ·
Sure thing. I double-checked and this Gigabyte's definitely got it—that's exactly why I dropped the link in the first place. As for the others, you'll have to do a little digging yourself. Just a heads-up: if you spot a VIA chipset, skip it immediately. No contest.

You could probably grab something like this—it should run just fine with Windows 7: http://www.ebay.com/itm/motherboards...listing-10332879

Whether it’s actually worth your money, though—well, I guess you'll have to crunch the numbers and decide that yourself.

Man, there aren't any drivers for Windows 7 for this specific motherboard. Does that software have some kind of built-in option to hunt down and grab drivers automatically?

Just grab the graphics card driver right here (pick Geforce -> Geforce 9 series from the menu): http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

Try dropping those files into Windows\system32. If that doesn't do the trick—and let's be honest, sometimes it won't—just try copying them directly into the game's install folder instead.

Look, just run Speccy to see what motherboard you're actually working with so we can hunt down some real drivers—I searched the Asus site and couldn't find anything for the P3 AEP at all. And seriously, don't bother using those generic Windows drivers; they're just placeholders and won't actually play nice with the specific hardware they were built for. You should grab the graphics driver directly from the Nvidia website instead. Honestly, you really should have checked if drivers even existed for Windows 7 for your specific setup before you went through the trouble of installing everything.
Issues with my new printer in Computer Peripherals ·
There isn’t anything to strip off or install—did you buy a printer that was somehow still sitting in its original factory shrink-wrap or something? The toner cartridge is already seated right inside the machine from the factory.

It doesn't exist. Honestly, it makes zero difference whether you're running the 32-bit or 64-bit version—Windows is Windows. You're likely dealing with a buggy driver or some specific piece of software acting up. Have you actually gone through and installed every single driver directly from the manufacturer's website for your hardware? That’s step one. Also, does this restart happen when you're doing something specific, or is it just totally random? And for heaven's sake, let me know what your PC specs are.

Issues with my new printer in Computer Peripherals ·
Something’s definitely off with that toner—or maybe it’s the print head. Honestly, if I were you, I’d just take it back for a warranty claim; there's no way a brand-new printer should be acting this glitchy.

Maybe try giving the toner cartridge a little shake—just a good rattle to redistribute things. Also, take a quick look at the roller where the paper feeds through; there’s a chance it’s just gunked up with some leftover residue.
Alpha RAM upgrades in Desktops ·
It’s not some cheap, bottom-of-the-barrel memory at all—they use high-quality chips, and if I recall correctly, they even come with a lifetime warranty. Plus, CSX is one of the massive RAM suppliers for Apple.

I’m pretty sure the sales director for Protis is probably lurking in this thread—so don't hold your breath waiting for an actual answer. 😛
Which monitor should I get? in Computer Peripherals ·
The main difference is that the latter one sports an IPS panel—so you’re getting much better color accuracy and wider viewing angles. You could always just grab this one instead, though; it's definitely easier on the wallet:
Best external hard drives to buy right now? in Computer Peripherals ·
NTFS is clearly the superior choice.

Honestly, if that disk is acting up, just toss it in the trash and burn a new one.

Is there some specific device that's refusing to read that NTFS drive, or what's the actual deal here?
Best external hard drives to buy right now? in Computer Peripherals ·
It’s not really about which specific model you picked—it’s more about the hardware you're plugging it into. If you're trying to run a USB drive through a media player or some tuner, those things almost always play nice only with exFAT, not NTFS.

You won't even notice a difference—just grab the cheaper one and spend the savings on some burgers instead. 😁

The GPU has 2xDP, HDMI, and 2xDVI—so if those ports are the issue, $50 then just grab the 4GB RAM.

If I were him, I'd cut costs on the graphics card rather than the RAM—modern browsers will absolutely devour RAM before you can even blink.
The 260x should be plenty in terms of connectors, plus it’s $67 cheaper.
