    Where is the problem in hdd?

    Absolutely correct. But you also retrieve anything that you do not already have backed-up (or vitally need) at the first hint of problems, and that it often not soon enough. Sometimes the first sound you hear is also the last sound you hear coming from that drive.

    DDR4 memory OC opinion

    Honestly, other than on memory benchmarks, you get no noticeable benefit from running the ragged edge and the opportunity for frustration. Not really worth pushing the limits beyond the bragging rights.

    Where is the problem in hdd?

    Very slim chance of recovering all of that data. You need to take action at the first sign of problems to have a fight chance of success.

    Would a new video card help me or is my bottleneck elsewhere?

    I cannot comment on other games, but be aware that most Blizzard games use the CPU more than the GPU. As others have mentioned, look at your CPU and GPU load while playing and see which one is over 95% load and you have likely identified your bottleneck.

    support requested: DisplayPort to DVI Adapter - not seeing 1440 as avail res

    I dug a little deeper and most adapters, even those claiming to be DVI-D, can only handle 1080p or 1220p max resolution. If you want to display a resolution higher than 1200p, the adapters that are proven to work cost $100+ and I hate to spend that much money on a band-aid solution. I need...

    support requested: DisplayPort to DVI Adapter - not seeing 1440 as avail res

    Somewhat related problem, I have been using an EVGA 780ti to drive a pair of Qnix 1440p monitors over the dual link DVI ports and everything works perfectly. Since these are the Korean market monitors, they only have a dual link DVI port. I just purchased a 980ti card and realized that it only...

    Windows 10 keeps reverting to windows nvidia drivers rather than the updated ones?

    Thanks, I have been having the same problem and just assumed the new install failed. After install, the next boot seems to take a lot longer than usual (because it is reverting the driver) then I am back to the old driver.

    My guess is that the step up period has expired, based on this ^.

    EVGA X58 won't post with ram in black slots

    I think that the time for a POST screen has passed. All of the computers that I have go past the post screen so fast that it is practically impossible to freeze it so that you can read anything off of it.

    MSI motherboard RMA experience

    Glad to hear that we have another option that offers good customer service. The only thing that you did not mention, had the board been purchased a year ago, or was the 1 year warranty running while it sat on the shelf at the store? Western Digital does something similar ... the warranty...
