I recently reformatted my computer (desktop). It was taking over a minute to boot (ask bbz_ghost who tried to help me out with that). Now it's much faster. However, now that I'm going to put my overclock back, I'm wondering if the OC caused data corruption in the SATA bus. I'm not even sure this is a problem, but when I overclocked I had to disable NCQ on the Raptor or else I'd get a buttload of Paging Errors.... In other words, did the overclock cause some kind of "softer" corruption that the OS could handle without any symptom OTHER than the slow boots? Taking the OC off did NOT fix the slow boot, only reformatting at stock clocks did.
The computer itself never crashed, blue screened or otherwise became unstable despite the fact that the CPU would not Prime at 2.6GHz. It would game and run 3DMark06, basically everything I wanted without any errors. Also, it did not mangle Folding work units.
Insight before I hit the turbo again? I have a Scythe Ninja 120mm.
