It worked, everything's fine. Thank you very much.

Any other way to go into repair mode? Turned off the PC by turning off the UPS 3 times but still didn't work and didn't get into automatic repairs. EDIT: Worked, will report back soon.

Hello, so the story is watching YouTube videos, went to drink water, came back, screen was dark, nothing responded so I decided to turn off the PC and do a restart.. Now my PC is stuck on the loading circle.. It goes first to the loading screen with the moving circles, appears for a second, screen gets blacker and a new rotating circles appear and it's stuck there.. Nothing I did helped, any suggestions? One thing that might affect this (I assume) is a did a defrag on C drive and paused it on early and then closed it. Don't know how it could cause this but a bit of extra information BIOS is accessible. No OC, 980Ti SLI, 6700K, Z170 Deluxe, WD 2TB Black with Win10 on it.

Think Comcast offers 2Gbps.

Alright, will do, thank you very much for the help.

Glad to hear, so as long as I don't really have any clear HDD issues or anything indicating to that I should be good?

If someone can explain to me the values thing in the original picture how they're at the worst value (only one is not) and the HDD is still functioning that would be nice, maybe could learn a new thing or 2.

Well the game that I was having file loading issues with happened to be on a dark red fragment, that could be the issue perhaps? I'm going to locate the game to my SSD and see the difference, if there's none should I assume it's the game's optimization or is there anything else? EDIT: Just found out red means fragged and not bad file health, that means game optimization?

Downloaded, I'm assuming there's a lot of bad fragments? Ran the benchmark, says the HDD has good health but I'm seeing a lot of red on a decent amount of fragments. No, sadly already doing the defragmentation, should I still run chkdsk? Also yes, my OS is on the HDD.

Hello, been having a lot of loading issues lately, don't know whether it's the CPU or HDD or something else so I decided to install CrystalDiskInfo first to check for the HDD's health, problem is, it's saying my HDD is in good health even though the values are higher or the same as the worst.. Can someone explain to me what's up? Thank you

Will do, thanks for the help.

Why should I not buy the ATH-M50X? Also, I'm looking for something neutral with some bass strength to it and not just flat

Hello everybody, I'm currently planning to upgrade my PC, I have a Z170 Deluxe for onboard audio and I plan to buy ATH-M50X as my entrance to *better than gaming-level* headphones, they do seem very popular. One of my friends told me that the onboard audio on motherboard's bad compared to dedicated sound cards and suggested the Strix Soar.. Is it a good selection? Or would I not notice much difference for its price? Yes I do realise there are other options for sound cards but I'm geologically limited sadly.

It's about the usage.. Neither CPU nor GPUs are hitting 70%

They're both reliable manufacturers.. You SHOULD have no problem.. Like Wrath said, go with whatever is cheaper.
