Thanks for the heads up, I went with a 5400 rpm drive anyway because eventually this will just be a data drive. I plan on a SSD in the near futurenote to self, from what i understand, the 7200rpm drives spin 33% faster, and also die 33% faster
may just be a myth, but keep that in mind
Ill be keeping this comp for quite some time. Its been perfect for my needs so far.good thing most people dont keep computers past their shelf lives anymore.
yeah, its an i7 720qm. i dont think i will do anything that will ever use the capacity of the processor. the GPU is plenty for the games I play. but i suppose you are right, ill be eating those words in about a year.thats an i7 right?
thats what i said about my pumped to the hilt core2duo, which i got right before the iCores hit the shelf. ended up moving to an i7 a yera later.
power related problem for 500 bob!
its a brand new hard drive. its weird, after the hard drive install the computer will sometimes start, but will then freeze and revert back to the screen saying select proper boot device or insert boot mediacould be your drive is dead (you replaced it?), bad cables, or could be a bad chipset/motherboard.
if you didnt replace your drive, it could be your mbr is messed up.
If it's a new drive, you probably have other problems as well.
If it's the same drive, it could be failing, bad master boot record, or a few other things.
Failing hard drive controller would also cause bad sectors and all sorts of problems.
