Hello, today I downloaded Crysis demo. I was playing on Medium settings with my Geforce 7900 GTX and my GPU went to 78 C, is that normal? SO I decided to try it on high settings and I was able to play for 1 min then my computer shut itself down / crashed. I started it back up and before it went to login it was performing a "Disk Check / dskchk " Or so, it went through phrase one but at phrase 2 it just freezes and doesn't do anything. So I restarted and cancled the dskchk to go straight to the computer, its loading a bit slow on startup, when I click user it takes about 40 secs to load stuff, usally it did it within 15. So I went to C:/ I did an error check, it finishes phrase one but also gets stuck on phrase 2 just like dskchk at startup, do you have any idea what this could be and how to fix it? Thanks!

You might just have a bad harddrive.. Go into event viewer and see what it says the error was...then report back.... If the harddrive goes out sometimes chkdisk will not function properly!

Hmm, my hard drive has never gone out before ( I don't think ) But heres the error I think. http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/... Today was the only time the error happened and it happened twice today according to event viewer.

error chk and disc check are the same thing and the error you show is caused by missing portions of the file system. This could be caused by a number of things but I suspect that there has been a failure on the structure of the drive itself. That will cause the slowness you reported and can also lead to the hang up as the pathes of information stored on the drive went missing. This just happens due to stress or age of the drive... windows version of chkdisc cannot fix this as the file structure itself is corrupted. Check to see what brand of harddrive you have and go to the manufacturer's web site and down load their utillity disk/disc program (floppy or CD/DVD version) then boot to that and allow it to scan and fix the drive...afterwards you might need to do a system restore to correct the file system error or a second repair option to restore the integrity of the operating system.

I couldn't seem to find the tool on the manufacters site, I have a "SAMSUNG SPINPOINT 250GB SATA 3G NCQ" So I went to samsungs site to look for it and couldn't find it Oh but the i waited for a while on startup and disk check completed, deleted some indexes like $0 $0,, and it's faster now on startup, but it still doesn't complete when I do it on the C:/ disk when logged in.. I tried going into safe mode and trying too.
