google is your friend.
My advice, Use Task Scheduler (reason being: it's built in, heck i had to use it to disable windows media center updater from polling my pc at 3am which caused it to wake up for itself).

Good luck.

Sigh.....
Anyone know's where I can get the 200mm LED case fans....the Cooler Master fans. Apparently mine overvolted(Case's electrical system was pre-wired) and now my front and side panel LEDs are blown.


They lit up green(colour supposed to be blue) and they went blank

Amazon
Seriously I think it's obvious now not to bother with local stores yes. Last time I went in a store and they said NZXT was premium grade fans

[Ronaldo95163]

17US for one fan



Used the exact same ones showed in the picture for the LED. When I tested them after I blowed the bulbs...the supply that blowed it was 10V and the supply where the other LEDs are working on is 9V. I highly doubt that the supply that blowed it was for 2 pin fans with the exact same colour wires and connectors as the LED power.


Currently testing them and the LEDs are working individually....so apparently the circuitry is messed up




Can't believe I missed up my Megaflows

One more thing, I want to use a .bat to type 'F5' while powerpoint is open to run the slide from the beginning... how's this one executed?

[nervewrecker]

Guys, problem. I now try to switch on and I get a loud screech and no power up. I switch off the ups and switch one, tried to turn on the pc again and same story.
Did it a few times to try and diagnose where the noise coming from, sounds like the power supply at the top back end. Any suggestions guys? Anyone ever encounter such? Is it the ps?

[Chiney]

i did once

the psu went BOOM after..
im serious

a capacitor blew the F.. UP!


try another to confirm

[mickey17]

^^ i agree also this happend twice to me.

[nervewrecker]

So is defiantly the ps the problem rite? Just buy another one and swap?

[Ted_v2]

lemme ask a question here

those powersupplys that comes with cases when you buy them how good is it?

i heard they are buggy

i wanna change my case to one with led fans

None of them Good yes... if you think it really have the amount of watts stated by a Watts meter the most you might get is about 100-150.

LED PSU are okay but makesure your system have a proper air circulation system.

Router people I upgraded my Asus RT-N56U to the New RT-N66U and boy its been working flawless.

Longer range this router goes 1/4 signal the good thing about it, you can upgrade the antenna to get longer range and set the TX power of the router higher to match the antenna.

[Ted_v2]

i was checking in a store somewhere i cant remember, but they have some nice cases with led fans and stuff with the fans pre wired into the case so its just a matter to swap in the parts from my current case.

that airflow that comes with the case and the fans loaded should be pretty good right?

[nervewrecker]

My last ps last bout 5 years and it was working when I take it out. Sold it with my board and the ram.

This one is a 700 watt bought from e-city and it barely last a year.

[M_2NR]

what brand?

[nervewrecker]

I donno the brand of the one I sold, maybe in showing up in the pics of the merchandise I posted in the misc section, something about motherboard, power supply and ram was the topic (same topic I ask trac to lock months ago and like he forget the lock or lost the key).

The brand I got in the new system is an X-tech or something, that's good stuff or not?

[ismithx]

so now, hear the latest, my flash drives show up as unrecognized
They only show up when i plug them in as soon as my computer loads. IF they are plugged in while booting, Win7 doesn't boot.
In win8, load up fine, no issues.

i have that same problem with my laptop: win7 64 bit...

Same OS here.
i tried reinstalling chipset drivers. I not sure if it's fixed or not. I eh really caring too much though, PC working normal otherwise.
