    Question Random crashes when gaming ?

    If all else fails, doing a fresh new Windows reinstallation almost always works when nothing else will. I learned that from experience.

    Question Dual boot Windows OS's on different drives?

    Ahh I see, I'll check out my motherboard manual and see what it says about that. I know how to get into the bios of course but I don't know if there's a way to get to a boot options menu.
