Hi, I've been having nightmare with PC boot times ( up to 1 hour long) and extremely limited usage after boot, due to 100% disk activity. I have tried everything possible with windows itself, so today tried to test HDD with HDDtune Pro. Question, #1 - Are these low read speeds? #2 - If so...

I Just had to replace my motherboard and power supply due to my old PSU dying (and you know that it is rare that the PSU dying doesn't kill the MOBO or something else). Now it is just randomly shutting down (without a BSOD sadly). Sometimes it is just random, just sometimes it is either during...
