New odd problem in my haunted PC

[Craig234]

Pull the battery out of it, check for bent pins.. Clr Cmos all that etc...said you overheated it...
It does sound like it's doing some wierd stuff....

What?

The PC is running fine now without the bad HD.

 

[Craig234]

54%...

Yeah, go to sleep, and pray the PC is still running (and done formatting) in the morning. Unless you like to pull all-nighters at your age (just guessing on age range here).

I did say it would take a while (hours), I think.

Wait, you're on West Coast time, right, so it's three hours earlier there? That's not so bad, it might finish in another few hours.

 

[Craig234]

Seems like it slowed - it's now only 74% done.

CPU temps still in the 90's -max 111.

Oh i'm Management Lol...Tell us some more stuff about it and specs. So Redrawing/Artifacting/Lines/ sort of screen corruption? I don't know had a bad SSD do that...and or some could be GPU corruption. And as well I mentioned a Bent pin, seen all kinda shit with that too.

But I think you're still talking about when it had other problems?

It's running now.

 

[Craig234]

Current temps the same but the maxes have hit 118.

 

[Craig234]

Well, the PC was back to the lock screen - and when I logged in, the disk program was no longer running. But, the drive is recognized so I'll hope it completed and just exited.

 

[Craig234]

Almost 3TB of games to redownload...

 

[Craig234]

That's strange - I did the world of tanks installation, and the default installation location was not the SSD or HD but the DVD (and of course with an error note). Don't remember seeing that before.

 

[Craig234]

Same thing just happened with Overwatch. I wonder if I have something configured wrong somewhere why it wants to install to D:.

 

[Craig234]

I was letting them install at the same time - wonder if that's a bad idea because it'll locate them more spread out on the HD and slow load times slightly. Hm.

Drive letters probably changed with the re-install. Make sure the drive letter of your steam folder matches where steam in installed (or change it after the install).

I don't think they changed.

And WoT and Overwatch are both outside Steam (Steam, which I just reinstalled on the new drive, does install things to the HD).
