OK, so whilst the above does work, it keeps coming back every now and again if the PC is cold booted (about 1 in 5 times). This concerns me, I understand all hard drives have a few bad sectors, but if its this frequent is it a faulty drive?
*Edit* Normally I can just restart the PC and it boots...
This (and a long overdue defrag) seems to have solved the problem for now, although don't be surprised if I return to the forums with the same issue; only just done a few basic tasks. Thanks again dude! I would rep you, but apparently I need to rep different people first XD.
Thanks for the reply :). Is this the same as right clicking on the disk, going into properties, then tools and finally error checking? I forgot to mention that it's currently doing that- I'll let you know how that goes and if it isn't the same thing then I will try what you suggested as soon as...
Hey everyone!
So a couple of days ago my PC booted as usual and I did some work on it for an hour or so before I opened League of Legends for the first time since the recent update. Immediately as I did, I also tried to message a friend and Skype was noticeably slow (typing lagged) and then...
Black Mesa is a complete remake. I was referring to Half-Life: Source which is where Valve literally dumped everything into the source engine without much done to it.

Good point. Don't really think that an overclock by 300 mhz is that worth it so I might just keep it on stock with turbo enabled (it isn't at the moment). Thanks!
Fair enough might just do that. For future reference though if I was to do a small overclock in the future (again 4.0 ghz) what is the cheapest PSU you would recommend me upgrading to?
It was the fan and at the moment I just have the fan from an old heatsink on the stock FX-6300 heatsink.
Is my PSU that cheap? I know it wasn't top of the line, but I didn't think it was cheap either and I am only going for a small overclock:
Cooler Master: Extreme Power Plus 500W
Whilst...
Other people did seem to be really positive about that model. I know that it comes with thermal paste pre applied, do you know if it is good stuff? I assume it is MX as the cooler is made by arctic but it doesn't seem to say what type it is.
Do you have drivers installed for your monitor? I had a monitor that came with drivers for a special feature and it just caused it to do random stuff, such as turn off randomly.
Hey Tech Forums, thanks for helping me build my first pc!
Basically I have a Cooler Master k350 because it was only £15 providing I got it with a Cooler Master PSU, which meant that I had enough money to get a 7870 as opposed to a 7850 (the 7870 was on a deal the day I bought it as well so I...
