I am installing my OS on a HDD, but I want it to boot as fast as it can. So I am going to install games and everything else on a secondary hard drive. But, I know software tends to sneak some things onto the C drive even though I said to install on another drive. How do I fix this? Is there a way to make my C drive strictly a boot only drive?

Ahh, ok thanks.

I'm going to buy a 32gb ssd for my boot drive but I know that programs tend to sneak in a few files onto the 'C' drive although it is supposed to install on another drive. How do I make it so my SSD is STRICTLY a boot drive with nothing else on it. Literally nothing but Windows. Thanks!

Define "a while".

All night, so about 8-10 hours. Also there was no failures.

I recently OC'd my CPU(AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition) to 3.8ghz at 1.45v. My motherboard is the ECS A885GM-A2. I also have 2 sticks of 4gb 1333mhz ram, a radeon hd 7870 and a 530w power supply. That's some relevant hardware information, now onto the story.

So I wanted to overclock my CPU, so I went into bios, changed the CPU frequency and CPU voltage. I restarted and all was swell. I ran Prime95 for a while, and from what I can tell it was a stable overclock. I played some games(BF4, DayZ, etc.) I turn off my computer and the next day comes. My PC will turn on but not start. It will reset itself but not only after a few resets will it actually boot. When I reset bios, it turns on fine and all is swell again except I am not overclocked. So this brings me to conclude that my overclocking is causing the problem. BUT, how do I fix this problem AND keep my overclock? Thanks!

that's why its called the "science, computers & technology" thread. some people have expertise in these sorts of fields. that was my train of thought.

from what I can tell, old Verizon iphones work with this service. I put my meid in and it said that my iphone 4s(verizon) was compatible with their sevices. But, is there any other plan rather than the $45 a month? Is there $35, $30, etc? Thanks.

Thanks. You mentioned that the Sidewinder is only red led. Does the Deathstalker had more than just green led?

Hello, I am stuck between 2 keyboards I like. The Microsoft Sidewinder X4 and the Razer Deathstalker. Which should I get and why? Also, before you say "get a mechanical" can you explain why? What's the big deal about mechanical keyboards?

Ok, thanks. But i've read onto some ways to run netflix and have come across this. Do you think this will work?

Hello all. I've become interested in a cheap way to stream movies directly to my tv. I've come across the raspberry pi months ago but never thought of it as a conclusion to this problem. I have a few questions about it.

1. Will this be able to stream netflix, play youtube videos etc.?
I think this is a stupid question as it is a computer but I just want to make sure.
2. Can I use wireless keyboards/mice on this? Wireless recievers? USB "facecams"? I totally forgot what those are called. Haha.

Thats it. Thanks for the help!

Ahhhhh, okay. Haha, thanks for the info on the sound card. I will take some looks on headphones and a standalone mic. Do you have any suggestions? Something cheap, but good quality.

Recently i've been searching for sound cards and headsets to go along with my gaming pc. I've done some research and also wanted to stick in the $50-$70 range. I've come down to this sound card:
http://www.newegg.co...N82E16829265001
I've come to the conclusion of this sound card because it was cheap and fit my needs of 5.1 surround sound. I've never had a 7.1/5.1 headset, but i've read reviews and differences, and the 'average' person can't hear the difference. So I just went with the cheaper 5.1 card.
Now. The part that is most important. I've come to these two headsets:
http://www.newegg.co...N82E16826193069
http://www.newegg.co...ID=3938566&SID=

So, I've got some questions, since im not the brightest when it comes to headsets..
1.The Rosewill's have their own built in usb sound card dongle, so I will not be able to use the sound card i've selected. Is the quality the same if I were to use the sound card instead of the dongle? What are your personal or professional thoughts on this?
2.The G430's also have a dongle but I can also plug them into the sound card. Is the sound card worth it, or should I just use the dongle?

Thanks. Also if you have any suggestions on other headsets/sound cards, please post a link!

I have deleted my pictures from vacations by accident. Is there a program to get it all back? Thanks.

okay, so dont try it because the motherboard?
@tasty_toast_son yes i was using stock, im also in the summer and dont have AC so probably thats why there was a big difference.
