+1 for D-Link DSL-2750U. Its a decently priced ADSL + WiFi Router Combo.

I don't intend to say that all WD Green drives will fail. My drive has been "working" for more than 3 years now. I had no problem with it when it was the 2nd drive and being used for storing Movies and Music. In fact my Seagate 7200.11 500GB drive on which my OS was installed failed after 3...

Its a 5 Amp MCB I think and my PC config is in my sig line below. It is in use when Apartment's Generator is providing power. It trips even if I have nothing else turned on besides a fan and a tube light. If I turn the MCB back on, everything works fine. I am just worried that my setup causes...

Hi Guys, I need your suggestions regarding my PC's Power Input. Recently, I've started noticing that sometimes when I switch on the UPS, my MCB trips. When I took off the UPS and connected the PC directly to the Belkin Surge Protector and turned the switch on, even then the MCB trips. This...

@harshit143: If you can go into Bios settings. Do as Mr.J suggested for Failsafe defaults. In order to use the onboard graphics, you need to make sure that Bios settings for initating on board graphics first.

@vikundefined. Stay away from WD Green drives, if you want to use them as primary drives. Those drives tend to lock up very often and would be a bad bargain if you intend to use for anything other than secondary storage drives. Check these links for the reported issues with WD Green: HDD...

From what I've researched, if your PC has SATA connectors then you should not have any issues connecting the common SSD that you have listed. Also, you might not need the desktop upgrade kit, i.e., the 2.5" to 3.5" bracket adapter. The SSDs are very light, around 100 gms at the upper end, so...

Hi Guys, I have an offer for brand new seal packed Samsung 830 128GB SSD at Rs 8,500. But there will be no refund, no bill, etc. as it is being imported by a friend's friend. Warranty is dependent on Samsung India honoring international warranty. Basically if I buy it, I can't go back to the...

@jinvidia and @Black_Hawk: Thanks for the advise guys. I'll get the HDD from India itself :)

Hi Guys, Some people from my wife's office are going to Thailand for a company trip. I was thinking of getting some SSDs and HDDs from there if its cheaper there. What would you guys suggest? Is it worthwhile importing SSD and HDD from Thailand? I don't really know the price points there...

Awesome experience @djmykey. My experience in engineering improved a lot after the first semester. By 5th semester, I had the HOD's keys to the computer labs of both my Electronics Engg Deptt and Comp Sc. Deptt. I remember lots of night outs in those labs playing Myst, Doom, Wolfenstein and that...

Awesome thread lol. Quite a few gems in here :) Here are some of my experiences. Not all of them are computer related though. First one is from childhood, when we used to rent VHS tapes from Video Libraries. Anyone remembers how the tape lid used to open up on pressing the side button and you...

Hi Guys, I am thinking of picking up Sony 40EX650 for myself in Delhi. The best price I can find is about Rs. 52350 on Ebay. If I order it today, I will also get a Cannon Pixma E500 printer (worth about 6000) as part of Ebay India's Independence promotions. But the seller is in Kolkata and I...

@kutoosank, it seems a bit costly for 2nd hand card. New Sapphire HD6770 is available for Rs. 6000 in Nehru Place.

Thanks ALPHA17. I was used to old way of tagging :-). Thanks Kuantum. Is there a recommended PSU Voltage Monitoring Software? I use CPUID HW Monitor and CPU-Z. The screens for those are attached here: HW Monitor: CPU-Z: I also tried another thing. I went to Device Manager and...

Hi #[member='Kuantum']. Thanks for the reply. I had infact installed my OS while SATA/AHCI mode was selected in BIOS. Hi #[member='axeman']. Thanks, I will try that out and reply if the situation improves. Thanks @ALPHA17 #[member='Alpha17']. If the ECO or Sleep Mode was causing the problem...

Hi Guys, I have AMD X3 8450 and Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H based computer with 4GB RAM and on board graphics. My OS is Win 7 64 bit and the only HDD is WD Green 500GB (WDC WD50 00AADS-00S9B0 SATA Disk Device). My issue is that every 5 or so minutes my Computer would freeze up for 3+ minutes...

Thanks!

Thanks. So I can easily get it reactivated even after cancellation? I was under the impression that once cancelled, the dongle is useless since its CDMA.

Its not a SIM based model, so not possible to remove or replace the SIM
