    Random shutdown

    It's 90% your PSU that is causing you problems. If you plan to buy a new one try not to save money on it and buy a decent PSU. PSU is the most important component of the computer and you must be sure that it does its job right.

    Holiday deals on RAM, what are we needing for SB?

    I think it is better to check for parts the time that SB will be ready to buy. New computer components hit the shelves nearly every day. Maybe you can find better deals then.

    Windows 7 PC cold boot problem. Weird

    I would say that maybe is a driver related problem. As you said you tried repairing and nothing changed. It can also be something with WIndows registry. Try a tool like tune up utilities to check for software related problems. If that don't work check also your memory with a memtest to ensure...

    Will I notice a difference upgrading from a 5-year old LCD to a new LED?

    Well I guess that you should buy it. LED displays offers more vivid colors than simple LCD because they have the option to turn on or off the backlight resulting to better presentation of dark colors.

    Number of Hard Drives in Your Case

    I have 2x250GB and 2x750 GB but I must replace the 2x250 with something bigger. Unfortunately my case has no room for adding more drives :(

    BEST case?

    I have TT Armor and I am very satisfied with it. HDDs can easily be removed and also there are many places where you can hide cables for haveing a decent air flow. The only part I don't like is that I want more hard disk 3.5" bays.

    Possible PSU problem?

    Something must touch and may create a shortcircuit. Try to start your computer on an angle position and as it works revert it slowly to its original vertical position.

    External hard drive no longer recognized on PC

    I use Seagate's drives for over 10 years and none failed during all these years. Instead I encountered more dead WD drives with my customers. Of course there are more WD drives out there as they promote them more so you cannot end up to a clear conclusion. I understood though that HDDs have the...

    I need your RAM and HD advice?

    You can also check other memory manufacturers such as crucial or G.skill. 6 GB would be enough. I always prefer manual settings as I want to control things. The lower the latency the better performance. It's a matter of budget mainly. Usually lower latency high performance dimms cost many...

    Should I A) B) or C) in regards to my memory.

    I believe that 8 GB RAM are just too much and won't benefit you as you expect. Though if you find a good deal why not buying? But It would be better to stay at a 2 stick configuration instead of just adding another 2x2GB. If I was you I would buy a new RAM kit or I would stay with the one I...

    RAM with heat spreaders vs. no heat spreaders

    Heatspreaders are just an overkill that improve the looks of the RAM. Unless you try to burn the modules by overvolting they do not play important role.
