I have had ocasional blue screen with my rig when gaming hard. After reading this forum and numerous other forums have concluded that my tru 550 is the problem, so ocz powerstream 520 here I come. ( Don't want to spend 200$ on psu, pcp 510 costs too much). BTW,my 12 v rail drops to 10.4 when...

I have been looking around, what is a good oc for my system with the retail heatsink etc. I realise it varies with each chip etc. I can't get better ram or water cooling for a month or two. BTW, I don't care for the guru, I had a nf7-2 and prefered ocing with the bios directly.

I'll skip the complete story. But I had to reinstall xp and did a partial format on one of the partitions on my 200 gig. When in DOS it only allowed me to format up to 136 or so gigs. I can't remember how to redo the hardrive without losing the info on the other partition that did not get...
