Windows 7 Professional + a few programs like MS Office and all that, doesn't take too much space. I still get like 18GBs or so free on it.

I usually go 80GB for OS. You never know when you need to download more porn... er... install software without having to think where should I put my other porn... er... what software needs to go.

Well shit, looks like all the summer heat and my recent Sleeping Dogs gaming binge, has finally bought my PSU quickly to it's near death, as it is now reporting low voltages and causing some system instability i.e. random freezing, bad bootups, bad restarts etc.

Had it since the beginning of 2009 too, and so no surprises it's on it's last legs, but luckily it's still within the manufacturer's 5 year warranty (Corsair), and I hope this gets sorted soon. Probably costs the same amount to send it to wherever the nearest facility they have.

I've even had to underclock and set everything back to default now to give it some extra breathing room and less heat for it to last a little bit longer. Backing up some shit and having to switch to my 2nd PC soon. Guess I'll be gaming more on my PS3 and less XPS until then.

I really hate dealing with warranty or RMA claims, simply because throughout most of my life, I haven't had too much problems with certain products, and even then, most of them will had outlived their usefulness any way that I will get something else, but since my PC is my "precious" , AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!

anybody knows how to check if there are any background programs that are slowing your PC down?
i feel like mine is having this kind of problem

[MisterHentai]

CTRL+ALT+TAB, Task Manager, Processes tab.

[Vonman]

i see tons of processes... any clue to tell which one that is not significant to the system?

[MisterHentai]

Make a screencap of it then so I can see.

Generally with common sense, you should be able to tell what is what by their labels and descriptions.

If something is there that you know you didn't run, better see if it can be removed via Programs and Features, otherwise get your anti-spyware/virus programs and Windows Firewall up to scratch.
