    Corsair Giveaway - Force Series™ GT 180GB Solid-State Hard Drive

    A Corsair SSD would give my computer wings. One sec. Wrong product. Having a Corsair SSD could allow my computer to boot before I even hit the power button.

    Windows 7 x64 Enterprise, locks up after being idle randomly

    Intel Core i7 Full System Drawing @ [H]
