Cannot safely remove WD Elements portable drive

roxxor — Sun, 16 May 2010 00:16:37 +0800

I'm having a problem where I could not safely remove my external hard disk. Whenever I try to click safely remove, the disk is always in use. I've checked all my processes and closed all programs related to that drive. But still the same problem. Does anyone have the same problem as mine? Why does that happen? I'm using a 500gb WD elements external hard disk which I bought just a week ago. It's a new one.

BSOD problem

roxxor — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 13:51:08 +0800

Hi everyone. I'm getting BSOD from my pc. It happened on the first time I got my new pc. It runs fine once it has just been formatted with a new windows (windows 7 home premium). It stays fine until I shut my pc down. The next time i turn it on, BSOD appears at the place when the windows is just about to load. I tried to format again. The same thing happened. I formatted for more than 10 times (seriously) but the same thing keeps happening. Can use after formatting but once shut down and turn on, BSOD comes. Tried to check for harddisk failure. Ran chkdsk /f /r. Tested my ram with memory diagnostic tools. Found no problem with rams. So I'm suspecting a problem with the ram slot. How do i check? Could it be other problem as well? All my hardwares are new. Thanks for looking at my thread.

Help on connection issue

roxxor — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 00:00:47 +0800

Hi. I'm having a problem with my connection. Whenever I open a program (games like Batman and CS 1.6), my ping tends to go high. When no program is opened, my ping with www.google.com is constant at around 20 ms. But when I open a program, the ping will go until 300-400ms. This only happens when the program is on. When I alt tab out to windows with my program still running, the ping goes back to constant at 20ms. Can someone tell me how to fix this problem? I'm using windows 7 64 bit.

The region where the ping is high is when the program is opened, and when I alt tab out, it goes back to 20ms.

My ping is only 30ms and it stays constant throughout the game. Does anyone have any idea why does the ping goes so high while I host? Any solution to this? Previously i have no problem hosting.
