  1. My pc can't read ssd for installation


    The ssd in question was just purchased and tested on my main computer and works just fine, however on the Windows 7 computer while trying to install windows 7 it can't detect the SSD at all!. So i tested a HDD on the windows 7 pc and it worked fine but i want the SSD to work so it is not the placement or bad sata cables meaning it's the drive probably, Trying the SSD again it did not work, I made the SSD like the HDD that did work by putting it into GPT format instead of MBR and to NTFS instead just like the HDD that did work. When i put the SSD into the windows 7 pc still can't be detected no

  2. PC Build Steps

    Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval
    • Install system in case
      • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
    • Turn on PC
    • setup HDD
    • run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
      • run realtemp at the same time
    • While in Prime95 test
      • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
      • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
      • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!
    What do you guys think??
