    Hard drive showing incorrect disk space

    Thank you everyone, however, that 22gb isn't really that important to me. I was just wondering where that 47gb went. Its not as if it was missing from the beginning. I formatted it around a month ago and reinstalled the OS and all my programs and when I click C:\ -> Properties, it shows 168gb...

    Hard drive showing incorrect disk space

    I have two IDE hard drives, one is from my old computer; its a WD 80gb and my new one is a Seagate 320gb. My old hd is full (4% free space) and my new one shows 298gb. For some reason, it shows that I'm using 168gb but when I select all the folders (hidden ones too) in my C:\ drive, it says...

    New Computer Freezing..?

    It went up again to 40s. I just ignored it after that until the crashing started again. I ran ORTHOS blend test last night and it froze. When I woke up, I had to reboot. I looked at the logs and no errors showed up. I'll run separate tests later today. By the way, the dx error happened only...

    New Computer Freezing..?

    Even though it is overheating, it shouldn't. I have everything except CPU at stock speeds and the CPU is not that hot. Its around 40C idle and 65C load which is hot, but shouldn't freeze. I also have four fans in there at low settings. There must be something thats not working correctly. My...

    New Computer Freezing..?

    Alright, I've been trying things out to see whats wrong with my computer. I take the cover off and the games last longer. Like around three hours opposed to 45 minutes with the cover on. I'm sure its an overheating issue but not sure what component. Sometimes, the computer freezes with the cover...

    MSI P6N w/ e4400 Issues

    New Computer Freezing..?

    Well the sound card was added just yesterday but its been crashing since day one. Could it be a defective hard drive? Whenever I start the computer, a bunch of random symbols and letters load up, kind of like a loading sequence for Vista which lasts around 1-2 seconds. There aren't any drivers...

    New Computer Freezing..?

    Thanks for the replies. I think 42C is pretty hot compared to my other one which is 31C. They are both Artic Silver thermal greased too.. In the last 20 minutes, I was playing Team Fortress 2 and my computer crashed.. gave me a BSOD with an error "dxgkrnl.sys". After starting up, it crashed...

    New Computer Freezing..?

    I started a thread here: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1229651 regarding the CPU heat issues but theres apparently more than just heat. I recently built the computer and just installed the OS (Vista Ultimate). I have two IDE hard drives, a pretty hot e4400 (42C idle), 600W PSU, a...

    MSI P6N w/ e4400 Issues

    Well I put more Artic Silver and its still pretty hot (36C-41C idle). Could it be a motherboard issue? Edit: I switched with the other computer (e4300) and its around 6 degrees less than the e4400. The max was 56C. How is that? Or should I just stick to the e4400? I read that it takes 2 weeks...

    MSI P6N w/ e4400 Issues

    Well it recommends a straight line but I read around and many people suggested a grain size is enough. I'll try it the straight line tomorrow.

    MSI P6N w/ e4400 Issues

    Well I installed the heatsink four times, I don't know if its right or not but theres not much I can do. It seems to be secure, its not moving or anything. I only used a little bit of thermal grease as suggested.. Would applying it too many times cause the heat? Also, what would be normal temps?

    E6600 Runnin hot.

    I did post a thread up but only one person responded. Yes, I'm using my old case (Antec P180) and its pretty cool in there, all my temp. readings are from 31-45C. I have the CPU overclocked to 3GHz but the temperature remains the same. The Core 0 and Core 1 are at 35C idle right now but when I...

    E6600 Runnin hot.

    I have a Ultra Xfinity 600W PSU and my CPU is hotter than I would like (40C idle). I usually get 30C oc'ed idle w/ artic silver thermal grease on my other setup. Is the PSU to blame on this computer or is it something else? The other one is e4300 while the one I'm using right now is e4400 (not...
