Another question for computer geeks...

A little advice.

Partion your hard drive, run your OS on C: and all data on D: Then ghost your C drive. If you ever have any other probs 10 mins and your back to normality.

this only works of the physical drive itself doesn't crap out. when that happens it's like a Finger of God tornado having a little stomping party in your computer. It's all gone like it never was. :wink:

Also for ubiqe:
Memory problems 98% of the time are random errors. They are for the most part not always while doing the same thing. Like you'll be browsing the internet and then bam.. blue screen.. and then next time you're writing a paper or something and then bam... and usually the longer you have your computer on the faster the crashes seem to come (cause the heat build up makes the problem worse usually)

Yeah, now I know it's not the memory, but I'm still too lazy to reinstall the system. Unfortunatelly it involves making a back up of at least part of the data, and it's always like cleaning a closet you haven't opened for years. Lots of rubbish and a few valuable files that need to be saved.

Can't you just get a new hd, load up the os on that new one, than transfer your stuff to the new hd when it's loaded? I'm gonna do that, in hopes that my current hd doesn't crash on me. Or get an external hd, and just transfer all your stuff to that, then when you're system is back up, transfer the info back and take the external hd back for a refund.
