Hardware (Computers & Internet) - July 2006

I own a Notebook P4 Intel 2.2 512R it’s only got a 40gig HD installed, I decided to buy an external HD 160gig, I brought it installed into An INTEX External Case, Certified Hi speed USB 2.0 it's a metal case. It’s one of those you can pull out from ur Desktop to use your HD else where, now every time I go to transfer a file or files larger than 500MB or less my XP gives me this message;
(Windows - Delay Write Failed)
(Windows was unable to save all the data to H:\ "Which is one of the partitions on the 160gig" the data has been lost. Error may be caused by a failure of your hardware or network connection. Please try to save this file elsewhere) I have tried so many time to transfer to different partitions on the 160gig but still the same error. It’s driving me KOKO! I've even had the HD replaced and I still get this same message. Now I want you to know that I would Sincerely appreciate your help or if you can pass me on some details of some support team that may be able to help me!

At what temperature does a nForce 4 Sli burn?

I had a prob with the oem cooler that was fitted on my motherboard. After only 4 months after I have bought the mb the cooler on the nForce 4 chipset died. I changed it but it shows in the bios temperatures higher ( when It was brand new it showed 33 degrees celsius and now goes up to 42 or even more). Does anyone know what is the thrashold temperature for this chipset. What is the thrashold for an AMD Athlon 64 3500+? For these questions I e-mailed the manufacturers but got no reply whatsoever. If someone knows these facts and can help me, please do.
