Default Your HDD maintenance app. of choice.

What app do you like to use for partitioning, defraging, disk cleanup, formating, and general HDD maintenance stuff.

Commercial or freeware, whatever.

personally, i partition my hard drive so that the system is installed on a very limited drive space, and the rest of my ---- like programs would go on the otgher partition. This way, if i needed to do a depfrag or something, it would breeze though it, and it wouldnt get fragmented half as bad as if you used the whole drive and forgot about that ---- for a year. also, make sure you alwase have atleast 1 gig free space in the system partition.

haha, how about a big giant red momentary switch mounted on top of the case, so you can slam your fist down on it at will.

This is why MSI Mobo's are badass, they have a push button reset switch for the bios.

asus ftw

my roommate uses msi, it was a pain because the bios had to be updated before it'd even run the ram properly that it was supposed to support out of the box
