  1. ooh... a new mouse. what a coincidence, that my current mouse is starting to die
  2. I'd want to upgrade to a Polaris GPU for better experience in VR... as soon as I get my hands on a vive ^^
  3. Above try seems to work. At least i'm past the disk selection. I'm going to update this thread in the morning when I wake up, and let the installation run/fail overnight EDIT: While Windows 7 is currently installing, and I actually just went in, it is not officially supported by Supermicro, so fingers crossed if this works. (Quick Poll: should I upgrade the PC to Win 10, just for fun?) Thanks for the help guys
  4. DBAN is running, will update once completed Update: DBAN ran, still nothing. it says Windows can't create a system partition on the medium and that I can access information as to the why in the setup protocol... which is where exactly? In the meantime, I'm trying to port the stuff from the Thumb drive to the HDD as suggested in this post. Let the troubleshooting continue \o/
  5. Hey guys, so, I bought a new PC back in August, but this isn't about that one. This is about the one I had before that. That one I bought in ~2009. It's still (kinda) neat, at least well enough for my gf (hehe). No seriously, It's way better than her crappy laptop with it's 2gb ram and a 2.6GHz Dual-Core. So here are the specs of the system real quick: Intel Q9400 at 2.6GHz VTX R7 270 4x2GB Kingston KVR 1333DDR3 Ram Supermicro C2SBX MoBo 4x Seagate Baracuda ES.2 250GB HDDs ( Supermicro SAS733TQ RAID Controller) So here's the deal: I did a fresh windows install back when I got the new PC, but it kind of bugged out. I tried patching it to Win7 SP1, but it failed. tried to repair, restarted, tried again and so on. Also, there was this horrible beeping, short, but continuous when you started it up. Manual said it was a heat issue, but I replaced the CMOS battery during troubleshooting and it has stopped since. Anyways, back to the real trouble. The PC used to have the RAID controller in I mentioned above. The raid controller put 2 of the HDDs together to form a 500gb volume and the MoBo was also in Raid mode, So I'm not sure whether that mirrored the cards or if it was all on the controller. Anyways. I decided to do a fresh install with Win7, SP1 via USB stick. But it won't install on the HDDs and I have no clue why. I formatted them all (in the Windows install window, not mounted on another PC though). I unraided them in the BIOS, but still only 2 Volumes showed up instead of 4. I tried to install Windows on another HDD that I slavaged out of an old laptop of mine, and there it said the hardware was not compatible. Another thing I tried was to unplug all the HDDs except for one and try and install of that, still nothing. I also tried to install Linux on any of the harddrives, but that just craps out and restarts the PC as soon as you press enter on anything. (The USB launcher that is) I'm almost at the end of my latin, one last thing I think might work is mount the HDDs on another PC, format them there and then try again, but I'm not sure. May the Motherboard just be too old and I should try and install XP first and then Upgrade to Win7? I'm at a loss guys, please help.
