Thanks, I'll take a look at Macrium.

Hello, I currently have a Dell Poweredge running Windows Server 2016. I am looking to swap the C drive from its current HDD (2TB) to a new SSD (2TB). I've set up the Windows Server Bare Metal Backup on the SSD in hopes that it would transfer overall data (carbon copy clone). I am looking to clarify whether the Bare Metal backup does all files (including hidden and database files, primarily MySQL)? I am looking to see if it's possible to boot from the SSD w/ the bare metal backup and run it as the new C drive for the server (as if nothing changed, software-wise). Or how I could go about switching to the SSD? Thank you!

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to replace the thermal paste yet. Nothing restricting airflow, but this was 100c gaming/full load.

Yeah no smoke, I opened up HWInfo right when I booted up and saw that my CPU was at 100 C. Maybe it's just too much for the mobo so it has an auto shut down? Not really sure. Might open up the laptop and just look around. Anything you think I should look for in particular?

Thank you both for your input. It just shut down a few moments ago and this time I heard two audible popping sounds.

Gotcha, I can take a look at doing that. Do you think that the high CPU temp is the reason for the shutdown? I'm also curious if there are any loggers that Windows runs that I can take a look at too.

Thanks for the comment. I put in the SSD a while ago, and have had no issues until now (about 20 days later). I have verified have both fans are spinning, and according to the software at max RPM.

Hello, I recently purchased this laptop from Newegg last month https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16834233534. A few days ago it began shutting down while I was playing Valorant. Since the laptop is relatively new, I installed HwInfo64 to see if there was any abnormality in the temperature of my CPU or GPU. While gaming, I found out that my CPU temperature averages around 94 C, and my maximum typically hits 99.9 C. The only change I've done to this laptop was opening it up to fill the extra m.2 on the motherboard with another storage unit. CPU Temps: GPU Temps: I'm not sure why the laptop is shutting down randomly during my gaming session, so any help with diagnosing would be great. The laptop is also running on Windows 11. Thanks in advance!

Okay, thank you. And for these you want me to write the disks instance path?

Great, thank you for suggesting. Should I just put line Ubuntu 18.04? Also, what would be the commands to run?

Oh, I see what you are suggesting. Boot off of a linux USB and then clone the disks through a linux program?

Okay, I see. Since I'm not in Linux, I've tried iDrive but they say that my new SSD is 0.001 GB smaller so it cannot copy. However, funny enough, Windows says that my SSD is 1 GB bigger.

What do you mean by dd? Also, it appears that clone zilla doesn't support Windows server 2016.

The HDD boot order is as shown, where it is reading it as a C:// drive and the other ports (see the 1st image). From that, I can only change around that order. Also, I did use UEFI and enabled the boot which let me into the ISO; however, this is the error:

Hello, I am looking to upgrade my 2 TB HDD to a new 2TB SSD transferring over my data. I currently have my C:// and system on the 2 TB HDD and created a System Image Recovery backup on my 2 TB SSD. Since my OS is the Windows Server 2016, I have a few options to help me w/ this transfer. Since I'd like it to be a bare metal/carbon copy clone, I sought out Windows way of transferring the data. However, upon using Rufus to create my bootable ISO I was told that my HDD was created in BIOS mode and the ISO is in EFI, thus making it incompatible. I then re-created my Rufus ISO as BIOS, but could not figure out a way to boot into my USB through the Dell BIOS. Often, when I selected the One Shot Boot it would try to find a C:// on the USB (thanks dell?). I've attached some photos to this thread, any help would be very much appreciated. Whether it is using the Rufus ISO transfer or another method. Thank you!

Gotcha, this is what I had figured. Thank you!

Performance changes by a little bit, and ram usage is only ~ 16%.

Hello, I am currently running Optifine with SEUS Shaders, and noticed that my GPU usage was around 40%. Subsequently, I am getting about 30-40 frames and nothing more. I checked my CPU usage and it was around 40% as well, so I figure it couldn't have been a bottleneck there. Is there a way that I can increase my frame or allow my GPU to be fully used? I am playing on 1440p, and made sure to launch the game w/ those settings. Thank you

I've ran this command on each of my drives, yet still appeared to have the BSoD. Upon waking up the computer or booting it up.

I've done the sfc/scannow, did you want me to do sfc/chkdsk? Thank you!

I ended up buying some Corsair Vengeance 16 gb 3200 Mhz ram. I was running on zero BSoDs up until a few seconds ago, when I had received the "Unexpected Store Exception".

EDIT: Computer just black screened for the first time. Midst some work on my computer, it had shut down and power cycled. However, none of my components (through a clear case) stopped moving. I.e CPU fan still running, mobo ram lights still on and rgb, storage led indicator still on.

Yeah, I have. By switching in ram from another computer I was able to clock it at 3000Mhz and when I put back in my old ram it's running them at the clocked speed. However, just a few seconds ago I got a Blue Screen from booting up my computer. As a reminder, my blue screens usually occur on a boot up from sleep or shutdown. Do you think that's a ram issue or a motherboard issue? Or is it a hard drive issue?

I've ran memtest86 and the windows memory diagnostic tool, but both came back with no errors.

I've tried this, but it doesn't save.
