    MSI 7950 crossfire crash/shutdown in games

    I used to have a similar problem once. It was my PSU over heating. I would suggest giving it a good cleaning with compressed/canned air. The miniscule amounts of dust/dirt on the fans have a big impact on their performance, not allowing it to cool properly. If that doesn't work, id suggest...

    Hardcore Gaming/video editing computer $2500

    For that price range, it would be difficult, but possible. Your goals are a bit impractical though. Currently most people use either a 60Hz or 120Hz monitor/screen. That only allows for that many fps (60 or 120 respectively) and anything beyond that is practically non existent.

I just installed the HDD in the 2nd HDD bay and it is not listed under My Computer. The BIOS DOES recognize the drive, it was also recognized when I opened up DiskPart...
