When ever I have games or videos on fullscreen, the computer goes to the desktop by itself. It does this with anything. Even as I type this, what is interfering is keeping me from typing, it's annoying.

I wanted to apply some thermal past to my gpu and everything went well until one of the screws that holds the heatsink + fans and the board broke. The bottom part of the screw is stuck inside the hole and I have no way of taking it out. It's a very small screw. Because of this, the pressure...

My computer keeps crashing when I play games or when I run Prime95 after a little while, it just freezes. Increasing the voltage doesn't help.

DIsconnect the other drive while you install the OS on the new drive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ox6DHlPQI-w&feature=youtu.be&t=2m40s

I just bought myself two SSD's; a Samsung EVO 850, 500GB, and a PNY CS2211, 480GB. I installed Windows 7 on the EVO and my Steam games on the PNY. I have another computer, in which I have a Western Digital Blue 1TB drive. I installed Windows and the same Steam games on this drive, with no other...

Yeah, maybe, you're right, that's what I was thinking

I understand the processor won't last forever. I just want a good balance of performance and lifespan. 3 years before it begins to 'die' will be okay. By then, I'll probably be looking into a new processor. "Doubling volts quadruple watt", sounds like good advice.

I just bought myself these two SSD's, both 500GB, but I can't decide which I should use for the OS (and programs) and which I should use for games. Answer quickly! I'm installing them as of now x) Currently thinking EVO for OS.

I have an FX-6300 and [/spoiler]8300. I over clocked both to 4.2Ghz but I don't like having the voltage go over 1.3. They stay at 1.284 - 1.296. My question, mainly, is, how does voltage affect the life of a processor, if it does? What is a good voltage range to balance care and performance? I...

Okay, so why PNY for games?

I know it SSD's won't affect game performance but will help with load times. I have a Blue WD 1TB and loading the OS and games take quiet some time. I also partitioned the drive into two, one for Windows and programs and the other for games. I just found out not so long ago that this affects...

The PNY 240GB SSD's are $60 but I originally wanted to get a 500 GB 850 EVO, which is $150.
