  1. Is the system running but just no video? If so and if your system has integrated graphics, try plugging into the motherboard video and go into the bios. Check to see if it's set to integrated graphics and set it to the PCIe. I have seen systems reset bios settings before for various reasons. Hope this is all it is.
  2. The only things I can think of off hand are things like the wake settings in the bios (like "wake on LAN"), Windows tasks in the scheduler, and wake settings in Windows.
  3. Not sure why it would derp with the AMD and not nVidia, but I have seen systems reset bios settings before for various reasons. If your system has integrated graphics, try this: with the 390 installed, plug into the motherboard video and go into the bios. Check to see if it's set to integrated graphics and set it to the PCIe. Hopefully this resolves the issue.
  4. Any time you want to image from a larger partition to a smaller partition, you will have to shrink the larger partition to a size small enough to fit on the smaller partition, as long as there isn't too much data on the larger partition to do so. Just keep in mind, as Donut417 said, if the Win 10 install was on another machine, it will complain about an invalid install, if it runs at all, and differences in hardware will also cause additional issues. Vista users aren't eligible for the free upgrade, so you would have to buy one anyway.
  5. Another possibility. If your system has on board/cpu graphics, plug into the on board video, go into the bios and change the video option to the PCIe. Sometimes the system will reset itself if there is a problem with the card or it's not seated and booting, or cmos battery dies.
  6. Well, for what it's worth, and that's not much, the word boonies does not originate from the town of Boone, North Carolina, US. I think most people know that boonies is short for boondocks which means out in the woods. The word boondocks actually originated from the Filipino word bundok, which means... out in the woods. My wife is Filipino, so, yeah... I can see this topic having a really short life. Just thought I'd throw it out there.
  7. JAW are my initials and the 's' is the last letter in my last name. Back in the 70's, one of the guys at work called me jaws because of my initials on the routing for the paperwork and the movie was somewhat recent at the time.
  8. I'm using an HTC First. This is my first foray into Android and I'm really liking it so far after disabling the Facebook stuff. I had an iPhone 3G for a couple years, it was my wife's old phone. Never liked Apple stuff anyway so I was glad to make the change.
  9. I got an HTC First a week ago. It's on the smaller, thinner, lighter side. 4.3" 1280 x 720p LCD, just over 120 grams, 16GB but no SD slot, and unusually long battery life. It comes with Android 4.1 and that Facebook Home thing. Of course, since I'm not into the social media stuff, I disabled it which left me with a pretty stock Android interface. I really like this phone and it was only US$99 with the 2 year contract. I've never cared for Apple anything, so I was glad to relieve myself of my wife's old lead weight iPhone 3G that I'd been lugging around for the past 2 years. Sure, the front facing camera is 'only' 5MP and the rear facing is 1.9 or 1.6... I forget, but unless your purpose for having a phone is to take pictures with it, I don't think that's particularly crucial. I tend to use my phone as a phone, mostly... although I do like Angry Birds. All in all I think the HTC First is pretty nice, it's also relatively small and light, so you might want to consider it as another option.
  10. Yes, you can remove only the top cage if you wish. Tiny Tom Logan did a rather in depth review of the case including water cooling options.
  11. You have to take the reviews on any site with a grain of salt. People are more likely to post bad reviews about a bad experience. Most people who have no problems usually don't post a good review. In reality, the chances of getting a bad board aren't 25-33% as those reviews might suggest. If their failure rates were really that high, they would be out of business in no time. The actual failure rates are relatively low, but of course not 0. My suggestion is if you aren't an extreme overclocker who needs all those extra settings, a board like the ASUS Sabertooth is more than adequate for quite good overclocks. In fact, I've heard of some people who have had better luck with the Sabertooth than with the Rampage or the MSI BigBang.
  12. I have a CM HAF 922 with two 200mm fans on intake, and a 200mm and 120mm fans on exhaust. The large fans push plenty of air and at a lower rpm so they aren't that loud. My temps are never above mid 30's © at stock settings. The CM Storm Trooper or the Corsair 600T are also good choices IMHO.
  13. Definitely the Corsair 300R. Their cases are far better quality construction. Thermaltake units just aren't up to the same level.
  14. CM Storm Trooper or Stryker, or Corsair 600T.
  15. Another possibility is a flaky power switch. I've had this problem with my wife's case.
