    Hard drive diagnostics?

    The disk keeps it's own records, that application is simply querying them. Running a deeper scan won't give you much more info, but could set some sectors as bad and keep data from being written to them. You can try a chkdsk /R. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd637756.aspx...

    Solved How can I track down bad driver causing system interrupts?

    I'll give that a shot, thanks! I did install the AMD driver, but windows did as well. I think I can force it to use the older version though. Update: THANK YOU! That fixed the issue, all I actually had to do was roll back the driver.

    Why so many new members do not show their rig

    Maybe quoting what his wifi says at the moment? Even in Belgium that's fast, but possible. Google is testing 1Gbs in Kansas City, Comcast has 50Mbs, and Verizon offers FIOS on America's old and much more spread out infrastructure. But yeah, 120Mbs I would be tempted to start a little hosting...

    Screen underscan (Win8+ATI Radeon 5000)

    The driver will get installed as part of installing CCC. What I meant was to make sure you are installing the entire package that way, not trying to install CCC by itself. You need both the driver and CCC to be able to adjust the underscan. When you check device manager does it show the name...

    Screen underscan (Win8+ATI Radeon 5000)

    The download is a self extracting, but will automatically run the installer it extracts. Maybe you're running the wrong one from the folder. Try just running the catalyst installer without manually going to the folder, open the file you download and let it run it's course. Make sure you are...

    Screen underscan (Win8+ATI Radeon 5000)

    CCC install ok but won't open? Have you checked event viewer for the error? Try and launch CCC then go to Control panel --> administrative tools --> event viewer. Check the logs for recent errors to see if there are related. it will most likely be in application.

    Solved How's everyones Windows 8 experience going?

    Solved Migrating to a SSD

    Imaging/Clone the drive will move everything over including the partition info. Since you are most likely going from a large to a small drive you will need image software that can do proportional. Acronis can do this with disk director and the utilities and boot disk from their home version...
