    Boot strange problem

    Will my files/documents be safe on my F: or even C: drive?

    As long as you don't format your hdd, your files will be perfectly safe. They will probably be assigned to different drive letters after installing windows on your new ssd but it wont delete your files in your hdd. And disconnecting your hdd wont delete files either.

    Thank you both for replying. The had reverted the oc just before those two crashes in a row, and I've maintained it non-oc since then. I have malwarebytes installed together with bitdefender and I have ran a scan on both and they found nothing. Yesterday I realized I may have done a stupid...

    Voltage wise.. the values are between the min and max according to HWmonitor. And will definitely give everything a good old scrub. I'll then post if that fixed the problem.. for other people probably in the same situation. Thank you!!
