Alright, I figured out the problem, but now I have another. When I restarted my computer, it wouldn't boot from my hard drive. It says CD Boot Failure: Please Insert System Start-up Disk. I have told my computer to boot from the Hard drive on every single spot. So I don't know where it is...

Hello, I just re-installed Windows onto my computer but it only shows the hard drive that windows is running on. I have two others that are not even seen, does anyone know how I can fix this?

Alright, just make sure that you get a 64 bit operating system because 32 bit operating systems can only hold up to 3 gigs of RAM.

Alright, so have looked into it some more and RAID5 doesn't look so bad. Say I have it in RAID5 and one of the 3 drives fails, I replace it and how do I get the lost information back? Does it just do it for me or do I have to do something?

Alright, everything is good except, like you said, the motherboard. I really don't know how much you are willing to spend but you could try this: Newegg.com - ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards if that is in your budget, it is more...

Alright, I back everything up onto an external, so probably RAID0, huh. Whcih would you prefer?

Well I want to spend the least amount as possible. I was looking into the Arctic cooler freezer 7 pro, can that do it? I really don't want to go over $60, but I really dont want to spend that much either. But if I must then I must.

I have been looking into RAID. I have found out that there is RAID0 and RAID1. Which is better?

So I am looking into overclocking my Q6600 from 2.4 to around 3.2. What kind of cooling would everyone recommend to do this?

Thanks guys, I am going to look into the Vigor because the stock cooling is just annoying and I'm not sure how well it is doing. Thanks

Alright guys I ended up taking my computer apart again and having to force that heatsink into the motherboard. It works though and I am now installing Crysis. Thanks. I will probably end up buying a better cooling heatsink and fan in the near future.

Well doing that made another one come undone. Now I have three loose clamps and one that won't budge. I tried pushing the one opposite the locked clamp but it won't even go down. What should I do now?

Alright, I opened it up and found the the heatsink was loose, very loose. So when I tried to take it out, two of the screw in things are stuck on the motherboard while the other two are out and can be easily moved. Any suggestions on how to get the two remaining ones out? They are right next to...

Alright, I will try to just re-install the heatsink/fan. I will repost with the results.

Thanks man, I can't look at my cpu temp until around lunchtime, but I think that that might be the problem. The heatsink came with the thermal grease aready spread onto it. Plus it lasts about a minutes and then I did it again and it lasted about 30 seonds. So I think that it might be too hot...
