    Monitors keep losing signal

    That's what the plan was to do,, but if i take the GC from his PC he wont be able to use it as his motherboard doesn't have any VGA /DVI ports.. Also to top it off there isn't a particular time this problem pops up, might just try that way tonight after he goes to bed.

    Migrating to a larger SSD

    Ahh thanks for the insight.. Just a quick question,, the target disk ( 850 ),, can that be connected to the pc's internal Sata cable, or is it preferable to connect it via an external USB?

    Migrating to a larger SSD

    Thanks for all the input.. The current install is from December 2013.. no problems, and the pc runs lovely and smooth... I was just being lazy and trying to get around reinstalling all the proggys , moving files etc..... might as well do it properly and install from scratch lol
