All good tips there, it very well may have been heat as the GPU has never been as loud and we are in the middle of a heat wave so it's starting temp is already around double that of its usual. Might just take the side off the case and blow a desk fan in to it.

I might try to make an ISO of the drive so I can keep the machines OS going but otherwise there is nothing on there but Scrap Mechanic and Star Citizen, nether of which games are finished. No other data on the Gaming machine, I have four other computers for other tasks :slight_smile:

Okay, so a quick search online and I disabled S.M.A.R.T. monitoring on the OS SSD in Bios and it booted to desktop again. I think that drive is about to die but the system is back hoorah! According to the internet one other option is to unplug its cables, plug them back in and turn S.M.A.R.T...

Thanks for the pointer - only thing I have done lately is add another two RAM sticks and an SSD... Might be it if everything went to 100%m it's only a 450w supply and if anything is giving out in that it could be bottling it...?

So was just flying over Daymar in a 300i with my GTX750 sounding like it was going to launch itself through the side of the PC, and suddenly the screen went blue with a "MEMORY MANAGEMENT" error stating it was going to reboot. Okay, reboot. "Disk read error. Press CTRL + ALT + DELETE to...

My gaming PC just broke...

That there is a good point - plus if you give a jackass credit for anything, it'll just bray even harder thinking thats the way to get things done.
