as i was saying it being the controller board what i don't know is.. if your controller board is bad all together or the firmware is corrupt and needs to be "unbricked" basically and updated to the newest firmware. if you decide to try unbricking it yourself then you might be able to get it...

that is my guess that its something to do with your controller board. check out this ebay auction. this guy actually can "unbrick" your controller card and reflash the firmware on specific model drives...

well you pretty much answered your question. "Tonight the electricity was cut off. When it went back on, I turned on the computer and I got this message: DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER." apparently your drive got the shock/spike of its life. you pretty much did all you...

same thread as http://www.hardwareforums.com/threads/possible-motherboard-failure.28214/ i made my comments there.

one guy in the thread claims he has a p5k-e (google it with images) which is very similar to yours and says it fits fine. you might need to check if your case is wide enough. http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=135350

i was reading your manual a little bit and found some things. "One continuous beep followed by three short beeps No VGA detected" this says that when you had the video card in the previous slot it didn't detect any video card. however your video card works in the other pci-e 2.0 port. also i...

well if your corsair has been working after the sparks then its probably okay. however, i would just get the person your building for a new one just to be on the fair side. here's one on ebay that is cheap: $35 free shipping...

does it only do it with games? any games or just 1 in particular? what about while playing a movie or listening to music? have you got the most up to date drivers from asus's website? maybe interrupt conflict? are your irq settings in your bios set to auto or default? did you check your event...

just out of curiosity have you tried the other pci-e video port? which led lights up? how many led's are there on the video card?

found this from another site: "This is for the 4850: LED and Meaning -------------------- D1601 - Over temp protection enabled D1602 - EXT 12V fault Having both lit constantly, strongly indicates that the card is dead. Everything below this is for the 4870, not 4850, keeping it...

if your wanting to run say witcher 2 on max settings your gonna have to fork out some money for something like 59xx or 69xx. you can probably do like medium settings with those cards you listed. the idea of swapping out cards isn't bad except at some point the technology might change and you may...

beeps sound similar to memory but you may have solved that problem with the swapping. make sure the 2 sticks of ram are in a1 b1 or a2 b2. if your hard drive is making noises like as if its loading windows then perhaps it is and you just don't have video. reseat the video card again until it...

heh it doesn't get any simpler than that. if you can't fit it then you can't fit it. you will need to remove one to fit another.

i have 3 externals myself and never experienced these issues. if being on xp is to blame then that is yet another reason why i'm glad to still be on xp.

as far as sli/crossfire you might want to take a look at this: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/245454-33-crossfire-faqs as far as 6000 series vs 5000 series yes there are 5 series that can overpower a 6 series. the jump from 5 to 6 is just merely a new group number in the series as well as...

just reading up i found that most external hard drives have a built in sleep function in them. i recall how after leaving my external on idle for a little while i have to wait a few seconds for it to spin up before accessing it again. im thinking the turn off hard drive function in windows power...
