    I'm not entirely sure how to fix my computer

    so i tried to run system repair with the w7 cd but i cant find the system repair option. on a side note: i cant seem to find my bios screen. It boots me directly into windows 7. When i insert the windows 7 cd, it wont give me options on boot up either.

    Heat sink for Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3

    Trying to overlock the i5-2500k. Not sure what heatsink is compatible with the Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 and is easy to install. Overclocking to anything above 4.0ghz sounds good enough for me. thanks.

    Ram speeds

    I have 16 gb ddr3 of 1600 ram. I ran cpu z and its telling me that each of the sticks are running at, 622mhz, 711mhz, 800mhz, 800mhz. Is that normal? My cpu (i5-2500k) core speed is 1604mhz. I know they are somehow related but is there anyway to increase the speed?

    need help BADLY

    i booted from the cd into the windows installer. I deleted all partitions. Installed the new os and it created a new system reserve (which i assume contains all the boot records). I basically did what mhenley mentioned. The issue i believe, was that the mobo tried to boot from the old system...

    need help BADLY

    ok well heres what me and my friend thinks is the problem. I think my hd has an old boot record from my old pc in the system reserve partition. What you do you think if i completely wiped the hd and do a fresh install? I'm almost certain i'll get another system reserve file with the os on it.
