    Bad Sectors on HDD

    Hi all, I had the 100% disk usage and extremely slow read/write speeds problem. I think I've sorted it now, but decided to run HD tune to see what state my HDD is in. The test came up with 5.1% damaged blocks (out of 955Gb) Is it time to get a new HDD or is there a way of repairing damaged...

    Intel core i5 4670K @4.3GHZ (1.29 core voltage!)

    Computer power randonmly cuts off, then restarts!!

    Ok so I went into the BIOS, and the core voltage was already set at 1.265v (there was a figure next to it at 1.28v in grey and was blinking, maybe that was the voltage it was detecting?) so I've left the vcore as it is. But I did notice that the ring voltage was set to 1.235v and was...

    Computer power randonmly cuts off, then restarts!!

    So I've ran Ram test, and disk check, both came up clean. And my computer has run great for two days now, until a few minutes ago when it randomly cut off again!! grrr. I'll check the BIOS settings now, and change the Vcore voltage to 1.25 and see how it goes, hopefully that'll sort it :)

    Computer power randonmly cuts off, then restarts!!

    I have tested the RAM already and it came up clean, uninstalled un-wanted drivers (had killer network adapter from MSI and realtek network driver so uninstalled realtek) and my Vcore voltage is at 1.23v I think! but will have to double check. It hasn't done it today thankfully, but im assuming...

    Zotac GTX 780

    Are there any auto-tuning software available that can overclock the GTX 780? similar to AMD overdrive for the radeon cards! Or can anyone offer any advice on how to safely overclock my GTX 780? Thanks, Scott
