K8N SLI-F so many problems....but I don't think it's the board....

Well you never know it could be the board...but here's the problems.
For the first and most annoying problem. If I change anything inside my case that deals with the power supply the computer won't start unless I unplug one of my hdd. Right now I only have the 2 pata's plugged in because my sata didn't work so it needs to be replaced and the 120 gb pata won't let the computer start. If the hdd is plugged in the computer will start for a second and then turn off by itself. It will only do this once then I have to switch the powersupply off from the back and then switch it back on after a few seconds. I think it has to do with my powersupply but right now its running a 550w real power psu.
The next problem is raid. I have the 2 160's running under a raid 0 configuration but when I try to install windows xp, and its at the Installing Devices, I get a number of boxes asking me if I want to install these drivers which aren't xp certified. The drivers deal with the nVidia raid and sata and pata controllers. So anyways the boxes aren't a problem until I get to one where my mouse and keyboard die but the computer is still running because that little thing on the xp setup keeps going back and forth. both keyboard nad mouse are usb. I think the power supply has something to do with these problems but I don't know. I just bought most of these parts. Any help is good!
-EDIT-
I fixed the problem in windows xp setup dealing with the raid and keyboard/mouse trouble. I downloaded new raid drivers from MSI and now it works. But...it crashes sometimes and as of yet I still haven't been able to log on to windows.
Thanks,
Rishi

Hi! Good news and some bad news. Bad news is that I think my power supply can't handle the load I'm giving it because the there are 3 12v rails and the amps on each aren't that high. The good news is that I fixed the raid problem. I was searching the net last night and found this site which told me everything I needed to know about fixing that damn raid problem. The reason my computer kept restarting after I installed windows xp on raid was because xp was installing the default windows disk controller drivers after the installation completed. Sooo, to fix this I had to slipstream my nvraid drivers to the windows xp setup cd and then install. It worked like a charm! Too bad my computer still randomly shuts off. It has got to be the power supply since I've checked if the board is getting shorted and all the connections etc... So I'm planning to buy a new power supply...any suggestions...I'd also only like 1x12v rail with atleast 32A. Otherwise, I'm good . Thanks to everyone that helped and if anyone has any more suggestions about the power feel free to let me know!
The site below told me how to fix the raid problem.

    Hi I am currently have a subscription to PS CC but I don't think I have the latest version.  I believe this because I don't get the new welcome screen and don't have new features like the structure and color setting in the content aware patch tool.  I have checked for updates and it tells me I have the current version.  I check in PS I have version 14.2.1.  I also have CS6 installed on my PC, could this be somehow be doing something or am I doing something wrong.  Would anyone have any suggestions.

    It's under "Find New Apps".  You have to scroll down to see it.

  • Looks like a network problem but I don't think that's it.

    Okay so a co-worker (my boss actually) got an Ipod shuffle for Christmas. When he plugs it into the PC he get's a message that the Ipod on F:\ needs to be formatted. we've followed the steps and formatted it several times but following the steps only removes the path to the music, But here where I think a lot of the problem comes in, F is actually a networked drive that contains the mydocuments folder where the music is located, but whenever we plug the Ipod in it thinks it's the F drive so we loose the networked path and can't access it until we unplug the Ipod.
    I would think the fix for this would be to change the drive letter under the drive management but it's not showing up there or in my computer. Is there a setting in advanced somewhere to tell it to assign the Ipod a different letter drive or something like that? I haven't had any luck finding it. Or am I on the wrong path to fix it?
    Thanks
    Russ

    Thanks for the response. But as I said it wasn't showing up in the disk management. Anyway we did get it to show up in disk management after stopping and restarting the service (for some reason rebooting wasn't doing it for us though.)
    Again Thanks again for the help.

  • I don't remember the answer to my security questions and I keep requesting that they be sent in an email but I don't think it's the right email.  What can I do??

    I want to buy a game but I have to verify my account.  I don't remember the answers to my security questions and I think the answers are being sent to another email.  What can I do?  How can I change my answers or change my questions??  Or even just find out what my answers are??

    See # 2 below
    From a Kappy  post
    The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
       1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
    Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
    bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
    'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
    ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
    phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
    2.  Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
    3.  Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
    A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

  • You want to print how many pages? I don't think we have the memory for that Dave.

    Printing lots of pages? XAML might not be the right choice. Find out more here:

    Windows SDK Technologies - Microsoft Developer Services - http://blogs.msdn.com/mediasdkstuff/

    I still have bitter feelings about printing in metro app. The MS team has made it extraordinarily difficult to print in metro. To give you an idea, if you want to print out a simple string of text in wpf, it takes 3 lines of code. If you want to print out
    the same string of text in metro, it takes 100+ lines of code and pray that the app doesn't crash.
    It took me months, yes months, to fully figure out how to print properly more than 1 page in a metro app.

    I want to inform you about my purchased list I tried to open it many times but invain. I tried to open the list at another device but it didn't open, So I tried another account on my device at it opened, So the Problem is not in my device I think in the account. I hope my problem will be solved soon.
    Thanks for interest.

    It sounds as though you are trying to talk to Apple.  Unfortunately, this is a user-to-user forum and Apple does not participate here.
    You say you tried opening it "but in vain" - describe what happens, do you get an error statement or is the list just empty.
    You tried another account, does that mean you set the Account ID to another one (for the itunes store?) and now you do get a list?  Is it the list of apps that you have purchesed?  If so, then recall that the device must be connecting to itunes using the ID that was used to purchase the apps.  If you later change to another ID, then all the apps purchased under the other ID will be removed.
    If I'm not understanding your problem, please describe it again and include more information.

    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

  • I have an Iphone 5S and used to sync it to my computer in the past without any problem, but now I can't and appears the message "usb device not recognized", and the cable is good and so the USB port. Do you have any idea what's the problem?

    Try leaving it plugged in and then restart the computer.

  • Please a simple problem but I don't know how to solve it. After installing 16 gb of ram all is good but when I turn on the computer it is a window signaling that all is correct. How is possible to delete once and for all that window? Thank you

    Well then maybe you could take a screenshot because the appearance of such a window is news to me.
    Also post your OS X version and what model Mac you have. The more detail, the better. Thanks.
    To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse or trackpad. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
    If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
    When you post your response, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
    This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
    ⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the frontmost window.
    ⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.
    Drag the screenshot to the Trash after you post your reply.

    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />

    I recently purchased a second hand new macbook air, although it was second hand to me the previous owner had never actually turned it on.
    Something doesn't make sense here, though I'm not saying the previous owner is lying....

    Are you aware of any problem with a previous purchase ? If not then you should contact iTunes Support and see if they can tell you what it is (until it's sorted you won't be able to download anything from the store) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    If you go into the payment details section on your account then does it say anything about your card being declined or not accepter or if the security code needs re-entering ?
