    Ok, X2 CPUs don't run that hot, so there is something wrong. Can you check temperature reported of the CPU? Both in the operating system while running heavy applications, and in BIOS just after that. If temperatures are high, looks more like a processor seating issue. Try getting it reseated by...

    Storage Solutions Data corrupt from HDD USB to HDD USB copying

    1. I have seen memory errors causing such issues - run memtest for an hour. 2. Check hard drives for bad sectors - method will depend on operating system. 3. Since you have 2 USB hard drives, try copying the problematic data to internal drive first and then from internal to second USB hard...

    Topgear is right, your config is enough. His suggestion is upgradable - pop in a new CPU 2-3 years later. Cheaper builds might not be upgradable - and performance will also be very similar to your existing config. And the BSOD could be due to software issue. 1. Try re-installing, possibly on a...

    If you take a break from name calling, you might notice that SATA 6 Gbps motherboards usually have the same x86 performance support, or better. Did already. Nothing of the sort. You declared without condition that enthusiasts only use AM*, not FM*. Which is either false, or arbitrary. Which...

    41-50k Build that can last for 5 Years.

    And proves my point - enthusiast would upgrade for SATA 6 Gbps, even if old motherboard could run new CPU. You haven't addressed it yet, between all the name calling. There is a reason they invented the "space" key, at times even called a "bar". Being hard to miss. Well, you said enthusiasts...

    Relevance? You might know that software "revisions" don't create SATA 6Gbps ports out of SATA 3 Gbps ports. Not impossible, but generally they don't. And hardware revisions are irrelevant (like most of your other points). Very incorrect. Enthusiasts would want a faster SSD - e.g. gaming...

    41-50k Build that can last for 5 Years.

    True. But an enthusiast would change the motherboard even if takes new CPU - because new motherboards would offer new features / be faster. Would earlier AM3+ motheboards come with SATA 6Gbps ports? No. So it is precisely the non-enthusiast that needs socket compatibility for a longer time...

    Actually, exactly for this reason, at least unlocking the bootloader and installing a recovery is very essential. It gives you an opportunity of a COMPLETE backup and store it away from the phone, which no other solution does as easily. Using that recovery, typically you can even install the...

    So? Your statement did not have a time limit to pick. It just said if it "MAY" have bugs, it is as good as nothing. So since at least once grocer exists which sells rich which "MAY" have bugs, all grocers don't sell rice. QED. No, you are saying custom ROMs don't come with updates at all. If...

    By the same logic, one can say that "Grocers sell rice but may have bugs so no point in rice because its[sic] not reliable." Since some grocers sell rice that might have bugs, following your logic, it is correct to say that grocers don't sell rice. It is not my job to prove something I don't...

    Only if ALL custom ROMs are buggy, there is "no difference between releasing updates and not releasing updates". If there is even one custom ROM which is not buggy, saying that "custom ROMs don't come with updates" is ABSOLUTELY WRONG - even if one accepts your assertion that a buggy ROM is as...

    Do you have proof that all the custom ROMs ever released are buggy? Do you have proof that "adversary" means "don't hold your breath" ?

    Doesn't help that you haven't clarified whether in the first "para" you were asking a question or telling something to people. In the very second paragraph, see : "How do you ensure or lets say increase the chances that custom ROMS will support all the components of your device.". Not only is it...

    You are first telling it, and then asking the same question? Rest of the post also has this confusion - at times it is difficult to fathom whether you are asking or telling. Otherwise, I feel you are making a mountain out of a molehill. One can say the same thing about typing : 1. Before...

    You tell me which part of the "para" would have clarified it? I see no such part. From your behaviour, I guess the point is to say anything without knowing anything about it, and later claim you were quoted out of context.

    But you haven't admitted you were wrong in that post. You clearly were. That is confusing for any one reading your original post that I quoted. If I quoted you "out of context", show me from CONTEXT of THAT post, and show how I quoted you "out of context". If I had said that all custom ROMs...

    They do it openly, so there is not much doubt. Updates are definitely released as custom ROMs even for phones abandoned by their manufacturers, many a times based off higher versions of Android than official firmware. Some ROMs have issues , whether or not manufacturers have abandoned them, so...

    Context. C O N T E X T. You said I quoted you out of context - you tell me from that post's context where you even remotely implied custom ROMs can be of higher versions than available officially. You clearly stated custom ROMs cannot be of higher versions which is what I quoted, and is very...
