I tried almost all the solutions i read on the net...but none worked...should I just throw the scanner...
I mean for protection from power surges and dips.....I mean acting as a STABILIZER...and not for the battery function
Every now and then, like half an hour, I hear a loud noise from the PSU...I'm positive its the current, which sucks in my area..(Lost my A-V receiver a few months ago...)

My main hard drive is a WD 500GB. It is recognized as Disk 1 in Computer management. I used Computer Management to partition it...but the interface was not very friendly...and I guess I made a mistake....
The only option I had was to SHRINK the C drive....and I ended up with 2 partitions...
What does it exactly mean? Does it actually benchmark all the subsystems....and can it be used as an accurate reference?
I wonder what would a 10 be like??
Does this look ok?
