[H] Need advice on Windows server OS flavor for NFS

Need some advice on OS for my media server. I've been using Win7 for a while, but need to move to something that supports NFS. From what I've read, Win7 doesn't and won't. While I'm aware of the *nix world out there that might be an option, nearly all of my experience is with Windows and given

Re: [H] Loss of power, followed by overheated smell

Got the new power supply in and just as I'd feared it still doesn't work. I get the 1 long beep, 3 short beep error (memory) and the onboard diagnostic gives a 8.7. error (check CPU core voltage). It could be the motherboard but at this point I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and build a

[H] Loss of power, followed by overheated smell

Was working on a paper this morning and suddenly my desktop computer powered off by itself. This is a Q6600 machine that I built a few years ago and has been in nearly constant use since then with little to no trouble. It's been rock-sold and aside from upgrading the video card a year ago I

I had a 650W OCZ in there. Only 1 SSD, 1 HDD, and a single video card so my power requirements aren't that steep. --- Brian Weeden Secure World Foundation +1 202 683-8534 On Feb 25, 2013, at 12:28, DSinc dsinc...@epbfi.com wrote: Brian, My suggestion is you need a new PSU. I've never

I think there's an option in the POP3 or IMAP settings to automatically archive an item when you pull it in or send it to the inbox. Maybe that is checked. --- Brian Weeden Secure World Foundation +1 202 683-8534 On Feb 11, 2013, at 17:47, Thane Sherrington th...@computerconnectionltd.com
