    Dual Drive

    According to the description the SSD portion is totally accessible for the operating system and programs, and the standard is for storage. If you were only writing to the hard drive you would never wear out the SSD What would a 1TB SSD cost? Looks like a great upgrade for older laptops.

    On the news the other night, they pointed out that most stores actually increase the price of some of their items. They try to 'hook' you by offering some discounted items and hoping you will buy some of the other items. Another slimy gotcha: some stores will advertise 'Black Friday door buster...

    Here in PA the car must have a minimum of 40 miles on it after a computer reset. The computer keeps track of the resets and millage. It's to keep people from resetting the computer and then going for the emissions test.

    problem Desktop pc freezes resume after 14 months of utter bliss

    Not knowing what JTR1962 had you try, but one thing I would do first is check the capacitors. The tops of the capacitors are usually concave so any that are bulged are bad. Also any that are leaking. You may want to check the heat sinks on all devices, not just the CPU. Make sure they are on...

    I also make a backup soon after doing a clean install. I keep this backup so I can always go back to 'square one' if need be. Usually I keep backups for at least 6 months. I make other more current backups too. If you add software and your system takes a crap, it is much easier to install a...
