I think, actual mainstream filesystems (NTFS, here you go) are just not good enough for large hard drives such as the 4TB I own. May become even more of a problem in near future. When too many consumers will be impacted, eventually the switchover will start. How nice is that, it is exactly what...

One is never being too cautious. Hope it won't come to that though :)

I will definitively direct myself towards an ECC capable desktop workstation (ReFS on storage drive), and a NAS/server with RAID1 configuration for backups, as it ensures the disks are still readable if the RAID controller fails (never forget that eventuality ^_^) A second copy from time to time...

I think it's too late in such a situation, especially because I relied too much on the "backup". Thank you for the advice, I didn't know ReFS actually existed. I will consider buying a desktop with ECC RAM, and maybe a Proliant Gen8 for the backups. Done. Nothing wrong in there. The problem did...

I don't think so. The die shrink is the key to lower the TDP, and Intel is the one selling 14 nm at the moment. The I7 you've seen have most likely a cheap battery. AMD's 14 nm chips are not ready yet. Just compare the TDP of the pc's cpu in your price range. Most likely intel will be more...

The solutions provided suits my needs. Problem SOLVED Hi, here I am again, for deciphering obscure mysteries of computer tech ! I ran out of ideas for this one, but it seems it’s solved (took almost 5 whole days^^) Anyway I want your advice on the matter. This was mostly...

@chusteczka Thanks for the method, I'll use it for my future builds. Finally, there was a mistake with the diagnosis report of the video card (It works xD ). So I payed for the store to rebuild my system (not that expensive), and there was no issue after that when they ran the following tests...

Some news : I handed back the graphic card to the store for them to check if the factory overclock is stable. After that they told me there is a problem and will swap it with a new one. This is exactly what happens, I must have been messy in my description. I already posted this ;) ...

Gotta check that out. For now, it can be either the PSU, the processor or the motherboard. Some people around me say a 550W PSU is not enough for this gtx 660 OC together with this proc, and that the small graphic card cannot run the game for long. Others think the mobo or proc may be suspected...

Alas, no, because bios is up to date. Bios version : E7693AMS V2.6

Here are the news : crashes are back after a whole day!!:mad: I looked at rammap before and after a crash, and the memory doesn't seem to be eaten by anything. I also desactivated nvstreamsvc, and the errors in event manager are gone. I changed the graphic card for a small nvidia GT610 but...

Hi guys, I just got the new ram (sorry for the long wait). I installed the newly released update (wasn't available before) for nvidia drivers and desactivated streamer service, and it seems nothing is crashing so far, but I have only tried battlefield 3 for an hour (nice improvement...

The symptoms are very similar even if the memory wasn't full when the crash happened, but it may as well be the problem. I'm really looking forward for the moment I get my ram, it would be great if the hardware isn't involved.

Thanks Smoove910, I will have a look at that, this may be easier than I thought. I'm sorry, I made the assumption that I could keep the working ram module, but as they were bundled together I had to return both today so I can't test anymore for now: :oops: . I will come back to you when I have...

Hi everyone! I'm here again asking and not helping (newbie inside!) as I ran into an issue I'm not able to solve. I don't like making requests without a good reason, so I ran many tests before coming here. I just finished assembling a new setup for a friend, and it's the first "gaming"...
