Default My computer is on the fritz so I may not be around much over the next week.

As best I can tell the hard drive is fairly screwed up. It's on right now but there are bad blocks causing read/write errors left and right that I have been unable to resolve so far.

I will try to get on as much as possible but I may have limited access to the forum and my email.

I almost want to cry when a mac is out of commission. At least it's not:




Best of luck, I had a hard drive failure at 3 am right in the middle of my student teaching. Only lost the lessons I was working on that night (spent the next few hours frantically re-writing everything)

My powerhouse computer has melted 4 gigs of ram within the past year.

Problem was fixed by not buying cheap ram.

Sounds like you have a worse problem.. a cheap PSU and bad house wiring.

Nah, I have a top-notch 650watt PSU with a Dfi-LanParty NF4 xpert mobo, which pumps too much juice for bargain-bin ram. Since I got the "recomended" ram about two months ago, I havent had as much as a hitch.

Ahhh... just seen my share of cooked ram from bad PSU's and bad PSU's from being on bad power.

Tell everyone I work on a PC for, get a UPS. It will save you cash, and save you frustration.

Default Re: My computer is on the fritz - upgrade to RAID1

I did a PC rebuild after a HD failure. I added a RAID 1 which gives me two mirrored drives, total data redundancy!

Laptop fixed, was a bad HDD and a bad piece of Ram. I'm back up and running but it's going to take a bit to get caught up on things.

A lot of stuff happened in the last week and I apologize to everyone for not being on top of it!
