Fix Windows 7 not booting due to missing AHCI drivers

29/01/2012 – 15:26

If you change mobo and chipset Windows might not boot due to loading the wrong AHCI drivers at boot time. To speed up booting it only loads the ones it thinks it needs, and once set is not designed to change. To enable them all again go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Msahci and change the Start key value to […]

27/01/2012 – 18:34

For some reason Mozilla changed Firefox to decode imagines only when they are visible, meaning that they now slowly appear as you scroll down a page instead of loading quickly in the background first.

The Novatech website is shit

19/01/2012 – 10:45

Just popped on to the Novatech site to check some prices and noticed how shit it is. For example, if you look at SSDs there is no capacity category, you can only filter by price range or manufacturer. That was crappy back in 1998, and 14 years later it is pretty much unforgivable. Novatech isn’t […]
