I have a '03 ZX7R and it's started to run rough at low RPMs. Kinda sounds like it's running on 3 cylinders but I know they're all firing. Basically it runs like crap up until I get it out and run it at highway speeds. Feels like it accelerates and seems like it runs smooth up until I slow down...

My friend's pc has been having issues, I narrowed it down to the HDD mainly (also I think the MB is faulty too, its an old MSI 770-G45, so probably time for a new one). When turned on it would boot really slowly and just before it gets to the windows loading screen you just get the flashing...
