Is there any way of cloning the entirety of the old HDD including any partitions?

Not that I could see. temps were hovering around 50-60 degrees C. The fan spins (sometimes ramping up to 100% for a few seconds then going back to normal).

Hey guys, So I recently purchased an Acer Aspire V3-371 and like anyone on this forum would do, I put a brand new SSD in it. In this case, a 500GB Samsung 850 Evo. After installing the SSD and a fresh copy of Windows 10, I would occasionally run into (and still run into) a problem whereby the laptop would randomly lose power, shut down and restart. It happens more often when I'm running more intensive tasks such as Lightroom or even when watching a livestream on Twitch. Event Viewer shows the following errors: 142 - Occurs when the system has stopped responding and the hardware watchdog triggered a system reset. 41 - Occurs when the system reboots without cleanly shutting down (caused by the previous error) One thing to note, I ran the laptop with the stop HDD without any problems for hours and it didn't crash once. Here are the things I've tried so far: - Sent the laptop back to Acer. They did some stuff, idk, worked with the stock hardware, still failed with the SSD - Installed Samsung Magician and tried to optimise the SSD - Optimised the SSD within Windows 10 itself - Updated all the drivers and installed Intel's Rapid Storage Technology driver thing - Looked for an IDE/AHCI mode switch option in the bios (doesn't exist) - Installed WhoCrashed to see if a driver failed at the time of crashing (no valid crash dumps were found) I think it might be something to do with a hardware configuration or something but I'm not entirely sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Oh ok sorry. First time posting in the news section.

You can get an admin to delete it if you want... I don't really mind. I just thought it was mildly interesting.

I think the fact they started with "Hello friend" would indicate that they are fake and not professional haha

SOURCE 1, 2 These kinds of things reminds me of those dodgy "business" emails that YouTubers receive. It would have been absolutely disastrous for the credibility of the Raspberry Pi Foundation if they did accept the money for some absurd reason. This makes me wonder how much companies such as Lenovo were paid to put software like Superfish on their laptops.

Hmm ok well thank you for the information. I'll do more research and make sure.

Yeah, that's the only reason why I know of them. They say they're pretty good. I don't know much about PLS and AH-VA though

http://www.scorptec.com.au/product/Monitors/25%2B_inch/58913-CB270HU It's looking at around $489 for a 27" 1440p IPS monitor.

To get close in what way? Response time? I'm not a super competitive gamer so I don't know if it'll matter that much. Also, I thought IPS panels have better colours?

The cheapest 27" 1440p IPS monitor is around the $500 mark

I really don't know anymore hahahaha

hmm... I can get something like this http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=558_1213&products_id=31095 $289 http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=558_1213&products_id=33670 $299
