Crash and burn or actually burn and crash!!!

[Miringeltje]

This probably is the right forum to post that I think I've overheated my hard drive, which caused it to crash and not work anymore!

Already put a new and bigger hard drive in.
Reinstalled the operating system, drivers, software, etc.
Will bring my old crashed hard drive some place to see if anything can be recovered from it.
Luckily I have an old back up of the most important things that were on there.
So it's not like I lost everything.

iv overheated my CPU 4 times in 6 months, the hard drive 3 times in 6 months, and burned out my DVD player built into it once!

my pc is used an awful lot!

try installing more fans....it might make it a bit louder, but it'll be so cold you can also use your comp case as a beer cooler
