Barracuda IVs INCOMPATIBLE with HPT370 RAID controller!

lammypie
I thought I'd warn you guys that there are SERIOUS issues with the Seagate Barracuda IV hard disks and the HPT370 RAID controller. Using a RAID 0 configuration the RAID 0 will perform almost 50% SLOWER than using a single drive!!!!!! I have tested this using HPT bios and driver combos 1.

USB modem BSOD, fine on reboot, what's going on here?

Onibaba
Ever since I installed my USB ADSL modem in XP I get bluescreens on completed startup. The weird thing is that when I reboot everything's fine (except for running Scandisk, of course). It seems that a cold boot from powerup does something to my system which doesn't happen in a hot reset.

Wierd problem

kgeissler
Ok. . . . yesterday the fan on my Geforce card was making a grinding noise. I took the card out, removed the fan, cleaned it up a bit, put the fan back on and reinstalled the card. When I went to turn the computer back on, the hard drive lights and the CD-ROM drive came on and never shut back off.
