Worst PC luck ever

[Trunks]

The most frustrating Saturday ever

I was updating Windows and my PC froze for reasons unknown. Had to do a hard restart, went past POST then it said "unable to find a boot device" Restarted a couple times, same message. Frustrated thinking my HD blew up, decided I'd go ahead and clean out all the dust from the fans and heat sinks. Decided to plug it back in and give it another try after I was done. Started up fine, got to the desktop, turned off with no error messages or anything. Tried to get to event viewer after the 5th time of it restarting before I got there. about 50 NTFS errors, so naturally I reformat and run a program that blocks off bad sectors. Install windows without issues, running windows update, boom PC shuts off no error messages.

Thinking it's over heating checked the temps with HWiNfo and speedfan, CPU running at 70 Celsius on idle. Reset the heatsink with new thermal paste, made sure it was snug, started up PC same thing. In anger, I took the heatsink off the CPU again, when I did, the little plastic piece that snaps into the board broke off. Order a Cool Master Hyper 212 Evo, cry my self to sleep because I missed raid night on WoW and spent 4-5 hours messing with the piece of junk.

Most unfortunate number of events I've ever had with a PC. Nothing was wrong until Windows Update crashed my PC. If that haven't happened, I wouldn't of had any issues. New heatsink came today, spent 2 hours getting the thing on and back into my PC. Had to take the whole Mobo out of the case because the heatsink screws onto the back of it. CPU idles at 30 Celsius now, 45 while running at 100 percent. Very good heatsink could run my CPU at max while overclocked, doubt it'd get over 50.
