Forgot to say that even when not gaming, it was giving me that ASUS Anti-surge crap, now I removed the card and everything seems to be going smoothly.

Whatup lovely people! Well... I'm kinda of screwed here, let me elaborate; So, I was watching the youtubez 4 days ago, decided to hop onto The Witcher 3, played for a bit (I dunno, maybe 10-15 minutes) and boom PC shuts down and I get ASUS Anti-surge was triggered...bla bla bla... faulty power supply unit! (btw that wasn't the first time I got it, but it wasn't frequent at all, happened maybe once or twice during the life time of this PC) Restarted and tried to run the game again, another ASUS Anti-surge appeared (after roughly the same time of playing), happened again (immediately after loading, the third time) and again... Played some Need For Speed Most Wanted 2012, black screen but no Anti-surge (no reboots), Naruto UNSR, black screen too... And at that moment, I realized... I'm fked up! Naturally, I swapped out the PSU with my old one and I got the same results... I didn't really game on it for the last 3 days, but I have done an AIDA64 stress test for 30+ minutes, no problems (checked everything, CPU, FPU, RAM, GPU, HDDs...) and also an OCCT GPU DX11 test for 3 freakin hours with no errors, except before that, I pressed the ON button to start it and I got the damned Anti-Surge message... Disabled Anti-surge in the BIOS, started getting reboots to black screens and no spinning fans (only thing I hear spinning is the hard drive and ofc PSU fan, nothing else nothing else seems to work) and even pink and green screens! lel... The card is an ASUS GTX660 (been running a slight overclock on it for like a year now, +120 core +160 mem +110 power limit, bought it 2 years ago) I habe de: - Intel Core i5 4670k - Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) 2133Mhz - ASUS Gryphon Z87 C2 mobo (C2 is the revision btw) - Corsair CX600 V2 PSU (46 amps on the 12v rail, 11.23 to 11.84 volts while doing the OCCT test, the rest of the rails are fine) I suspect this is the result of ESD (electrical static discharge) effect on my GPU, I was being careful not to touch any soldering points but I might have done it once or twice during cleaning, dunno, leaning heavily towards that conclusion, hopefully you guys could help me figure (possibly) a solution for this cuz right now no manny 2 buy a new card m8s :'(

Problem solved Used windows clean up tool found in Control panel > System and Security > Free up disk space under Administrative tools, click on Clean up system files, wait for it to scan and then go to More options, under System restore and Shadow copies click Clean up and voila.

Thanks Beltboy, here's what I got...

not even close..

Can pagefiles and stuff get over 100GB? the phuck...

Whatup y'all I've been trying to free up some space on C: drive until I realized that either I'm missing something or windows is high on w33d today, can someone explain this please? (screenshot below) I didn't know 195-55=39... did 9+10 kid join microsoft?

This really saddens me... seeing Nvidia and AMD competing in developping new technologies like Gsync, freesync, MFAA..... but game devs on the other hand, are trying hard to make their games looks similar on all platforms despite the fact that CONSOLES HARDWARE FUCKING SUCKS! (sorry, couldn't hold it) Why can't we ADVANCE ? move FORWARD ? develop new technologies ? *long and painful sigh*

the new icon is... meh

But my motherboard has been working for just about 7 months

There's no quote foncionality for phone users ? Anyhow, @tmcclelland455 thanks, I'll give it a shot, but there's no other option ?

EDIT: Time in the bios is STUCK, not like this guy http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ioxDMAe2sPs If it's, let's say 14:00:24, it stays like that for however long I stay in the BIOS, doesn't go up to 14:00:25.... And so

Hi This has been happening for about a week now, bios time keeps resetting by itself (not to the same value everytime) and ofc windows time is getting f***** as well, tried syncing/unsyncing time from internet and all those windows time parameters, I even did a fresh windows install until I realized it was a bios problem, tried removing OC settings, resetting all bios settings, none worked it's driving me BANANAS !!! Full specs: 4670k, 8GB (2x4GB) Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz, ASUS Gryphon Z87 motherboard with the 1802 bios, ASUS GTX 660, WD Black 1TB and Corsair CX600 for the PSU (600 watts 46A ). I dunno if it matters but I used Asus Mylogo 2 utility within Ai Suite 3 to change the boot screen.

Sorry mate I don't think it'll work

I didn't know you can pick both offers (4770k and 4670k discounts) here's the code for the 4670k as well IN03gunqydxf .
