    Strange events with UEFI Bios and SSD / HDD RAID1

    Problem solved - although I had to reinstall Windows and HDD content, OC Tech support was extremely helpful. The guy actually phoned me back at home and talked me through some of the nitty gritty stuff. :)

    Looking for a non-headache inducing replacement for my Sony FW900

    Yes it was very straightforward once I was able to follow and read your links. I had bought the monitor a few years ago via ebay and therefore never had read through instruction/setup manuals. So I hadn't been aware of the restoration option that becomes available once the monitor has warmed up...

    Second HDD in 2 months damaged after strange graphics error and reset

    Thanks, I'm kind of semi-literate with Computers, the comp was a pre-built and pre-overclocked system, bought from Overclockers 3 years ago, how would I find out if I'm using these particular drivers?
