Hey,


It's a new harddrive. Are you suppose to full format it before using it? I used the QUICK FORMAT option. It's a Hitachi 700GB.

When I try to download huge 2GB game clients, they are always corrupted... Is this a HDD issue or some other issue?

I OC my Q6600 @ 3GHz, 22c idle.


-Thanks
 
Doubt it's a hard drive issue -- and it shouldn't /need/ a full format.

More likely your net connection or the download accelerator/client you're using.
 
My bets would be that its an unstable OC, bad RAM, or a bad ethernet port in that order.

Since you were able to install Windows/boot into Windows then its unlikely to be a disk problem. Possible, but unlikely.

Yeah, make sure you've set you vdimm properly and run a few passes of memtest86 to be sure.

Also run Orthos for a bit, Small FFTs, and make sure it doesn't lock up.
