    Been very so so on my picks tonight. Unfortunately I have missed all of the card until now, just got home from a family gathering.

    This, so much this. I live in Nor Cal but grew up in So Cal. I have made that drive at least 100 times over the years, and it is a long boring drive. Getting on a plane is fine, but when you take the drive time to the airport, arriving ahead of time, getting off the plane, the total time is...

    Well, I re-flashed another BIOS and so far so good. It reboots just fine now, and I haven't had any crashes. So here is to hoping it is all fixed. Thanks for all the suggestions and help!

    I really hope that Browne crushes Reem. He is one of the few fighters that I really just don't like, and I want to continue to see the guy humbled. That being said, I don't have high hopes he can pull it off. Not sure which way I am going to pick that fight

    There isn't another one to use. The SSD slides into the PCI Express Full-Mini slot. There is only one on the board, so no other place (that I can see) to plug it in.

    /sigh, still nothing. On top of the reboot issue still happening, I have a new and even bigger problem. I was playing TSW for a couple hours or so and the computer suddenly froze completely. I had to hard boot it to get it working again, and when I did it gave me an error saying there was a...

    Why you gotta do it man? Just don't talk about it and maybe we can get to a card unscathed!

    Wow, that sounds amazing. It's actually only 600 breweries, but 2800 beers. I am actually tempted to buy a couple of tickets, but would need to check into flight prices and such as well.

    Justice for Zimmerman

    You know, there was a ton of great parts of this thread before some retard decided to go on a racism rant and ruin it. Could the mods not simply split the thread at the point of where the racism shit started and throw that in the shaw, and leave the original thread as is?

    Tried this and still nothing. I have tried searching Google, tried resetting all the BIOS settings, tried the reset jump, nothing. Still just goes to the Intel splash screen but that is as far as it gets, then reboots again. Anyone else have any suggestions?

    2013 NFL Season

    http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/95...o-bowl-changes Pro Bowl changes incoming. Seems like a gimmick to get people interested in again, and will last all of one season once people realize that the players still aren't going to give a shit in that game.

    The Beer Thread

    Speaking of beer with fruits. I have been seeing this Shandy stuff all over the place lately. Apparently it is beer made with lemonade? Has anyone tried it? To me it sounds just awful, and I can't really wrap my head around it. I am a huge fan of IPA's as well as darker beers and stouts. I...

    Nope, can't even get into BIOS. I tried mashing F2 when the screen popped up but nothing happens, and it just shuts back down and does it again. I'll try taking the battery out when I get home tonight.

    Yay for more issues. The computer now gets stuck in a boot loop. Here is what happens. On normal bootup, it shows the Intel splash screen, then a second later shows the options to go into BIOS, BIOS Update, and Boot Order. Now, if the computer needs to be restarted after an update or...

    So I am going to check with my doctor about this when I see her next month, but figured I would toss it out here in case anyone has any experience.

    It appears to have worked. When I clicked on one of the folders it gave me a message about not having permission to access this folder, and to click continue to gain access permanently. About 5 minutes of thinking it eventually opened up and worked. So now I can grab all the files I need off...

    Computer Issues

    You know I was wondering how it will determine the boot drive on startup. I have the mSATA SSD plugged into the motherboard, and just plugged in the HDD to one of the SATA slots. No clue how this is going to go! I figured I would just go into the BIOS at bootup and figure it from there?

    I got my new computer all built, and my wife reminded me of an old computer that she wants me to pull some pictures off of the HD. I had already started to pull that computer apart, and would prefer not to have to put it back together. Is there any chance at all that I can plug in the old HD...

    No, it is a regular drive. It is just the new Intel 525 series that they made a mSATA. The problem was the thumb screw also had a tiny screw in the top of it that you had to take out, and I couldn't even see that it was there. It is in there all snug now. Thanks again!

    Ah, I see now, thanks for the info. Too bad there is no hardware to hold the thing in place! The thumb screw that is included on the motherboard is too short to hold it in place, and none of the other screws have a small enough thread to fit. EDIT: Oh, I see. Gah damn I am retarded. It...

    So here is a possibly stupid question. Well, first a comment. I am shocked at how tiny this SSD is. I knew they were small, but holy shit this thing is tiny. The problem I have is there is no mounting adapter that came with the SSD. It is just the chip itself, no cables or anything. Am I...

    Thanks for the info. I wouldn't say money is a huge concern, but I don't want to buy something just because it is the best. I highly doubt I will ever run more than one video card, so if that is really the biggest difference than I will just go with the cheaper one. I know there is been...
