    SPOOKY camera shutter sound coming from my case!

    A VERY SPOOKY, intermittent "camera shutter" sound, is coming from the hardware inside my case. The sound is almost identical to the one an iPhone would make when taking a picture. It is not coming out of the audio hardware, nothing from the headphones and I have no other speakers in it...

    Quicktime playback freeze

    I have an issue playing Quicktime movies that I think is a result of my GFX card: GIGABYTE Radeon HD 6870 1GB 256-bit GV-R687OC-1GD If I play down a quicktime movie, the system will hang. Mouse cursor is active, but no response to clicking. When the system "comes to" all clicks made during...

    1600 Mhz RAM seen as 1333 Mhz in BIOS. why?

    I have 1600 Mhz RAM installed in my GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 motherboard. It seems BIOS is reading it at 1333 Mhz. Now, I can "set" it to 1600 Mhz, but isn't that overclocking it? Also, if BIOS is reset for whatever reason, it defaults to 1333 Mhz. (see screen grab) Speed is my goal, but also...

    I would like to set up a software RAID 0 in OSX on my hackintosh like I have done so many times on my MacPro's. Is this still the way to go on a hackintosh? I know RAID can be set up in BIOS, but I would rather go with what I know and do it in OSX. thx!
