I have the tray slotted in fine-ish, need to put it in the right way so I can put the cover on but I'm too lazy to do that right now lol Tongue because right now I'm trying to get my bootable USB to work properly, it runs Windows 7 fine at first, but after it loads up the setup files there's an error message "0x0000007B" classic BSOD now I'm 100% sure I've fixed this before but I can't remember how to do it and of course with google I'm having to sift through tons of crap to get to an actual solution, has anyone here recently installed from a USB stick and knows what to do to get past the BSOD?

It wasn't 7B! Just a note! It was "Machine_Check_Exception" or something which looks very specific, I'll have a look on the net for it.

They are burning money? Old banknotes? If they fuel their power plant that way they must have a millions of old banknotes to burn...or even more.

This could be their way of dumping the U.S dollar lol Cheesy

No, in this way they will pump the dollar  Roll Eyes
 Cheesy

What by them getting free fuel? lol Tongue

Oh please, if you actually look at the users doing this you'll find it's not actually as many as they're claiming, yes there are dumbasses out there and we have our own homophobic and racist morons that I constantly bait because it's funny but if things were really that bad you wouldn't even be on here. Same goes for sexism really, if I ever see a woman bitching about misogny and actually look at the comments made towards her it's usually just a few assholes trying to spam her, as was the case with this woman, she then decided that all men are the enemy and we as gamers needed to be attacked.

From the gamespot.com comments:
Quote from: Too-DementeD
... it can also have a real negative effect on actual legitimate currency.

Example. People were bulk-buying AMD GPUs using bitcoins, as they were cheap. What happened? AMD GPU prices in USD/GBP/whatever other REAL currency there are, skyrocketed. I'm sure that's great for AMD and bitcoin users, but it's bad for everyone else.

I know this is harsh but I don't think that most gamers have the intelligence to come to that conclusion from graphics card prices, especially when you consider their stupid arguments about AMD and Intel or the Xbox and Playstation.

I'd at least report it to the sig campaign to cut them off and provide his post history as evidence, not really worth it spamming the moderators if they're busy because they might get annoyed.

Ok , thanks .  DO you think he will be banned from that signature campaign or not ?

If the campaign cares he most likely will be, they often have rules against spam to help keep the forums clean.

Also random question, would putting a short circuited component to test whether it's truly broken wreck the computer? I'm obviously not going to try this if something could happen.

That will certainly depend on how the component is short circuited.
If we talked about a PCIe card where VCC and GND is truely shorted, then could "interesting" things happen.
As long as we are not talking short circuited power rails, then will you in most case be safe.

But if you don't know what you are doing then are you better off throwing the component away or test it in a old computer.  

Thanks for that, I definitely don't know about the effects of short circuiting so I'll keep all those components seperate for sure.

Edit: Found a box of what looks like the exact sort of screws I need to properly seat the HDD yey!

Go to some large hardware store (B&Q?) and find yourself some screws. Seriously, it can't be that hard. I'm no computer expert, but I'm sure you could even use wood screws if you are desperate.

I guess I'll have a search around it's just all the screws I have are too small so I guess I could scavenge some from around the house, I want my computer back now it's switched on lol Tongue I'm just worried about getting too long a screw and damaging the hard drive, do you know the exact kind of screws you'd need to fit it in properly?

What I have not seen is more shopping cart interfaces for cryptocurrencies and that is something that merchants definitely need because so far you can only really do it through payment processors which can obviously get taken down and so on, I would love to see a real standalone script that you can just upload to your site without have to rely on any third party APIs from exchanges and such just enter in the product price in Bitcoin and then upload your file.

Sometimes users escape the net, I try and report them wherever I can but the mods are pretty busy on this forum but they might notice now you've made this thread, you could maybe PM them as well, despite having a signature campaign I always do my best not to spam like that and just post shitty one liners, you could also report him to the actual sig campaign as well and get him banned from that so he has no incentive any campaign that's worth it won't want to have their reputation ruined by some asshole trying to spam on their behalf.

Cops have assaulted men for flimsier (or no) reasons.

The most stupid charge I have ever heard was charging a guy for property damage because his blood got on their uniforms, corrupt assholes.

I am looking for something extremely simple so I can finish my old computer and get everything up and running again, a HDD tray and you'd think that would be piss easy to find but with SSD's and the PS3 and so on it's made life a lot more difficult than I would've thought! Does anyone know where I can get one? What I'm looking for is something simple that of course comes with screws because I have an old HDD tray and even though it slots in fine I need screws for it but finding the right screws for it to go in is probably going to take several weeks so it would be much easier to just spend £5 or so on something instead.

Also random question, would putting a short circuited component to test whether it's truly broken wreck the computer? I'm obviously not going to try this if something could happen.

Edit: hmmm the trays/enclosures have changed a hell of a lot since I last looked at them - http://www.novatech.co.uk/search.html?s=HDD%20internal%20enclosure

In case you were wandering the trays I have are for 3.5" I think, but I'll double check.

Oh fuck you justice system! I don't normally do this but I seriously think somebody should DDOS their site out of existence so they can't scam more people and they will, just with the governments approval.

The people who make those kind of comments against Bitcoin really are just making stuff up, if people are stupid enough to believe them with all the information out there then that's their business, I've given up trying to argue with people who choose to live in an alternate reality and just make shit up, much easier to just mock them because they're so entertaining.

Sounds like it may be something to do with your boot order in the BIOS that kind of thing Tongue just thought I'd let you know but if it's something on startup, it's usually the BIOS.

People are just fucking ignorant, welcome to life, the politicians in power don't vote themselves in unless it turns out they've covered up election fraud extremely well.
