• Game won't stop crashing on PC, any help is appreciated.

  Try running a drive test on the drive. It's possible it's bad (yes, it can come bad even if it's brand new, actually new hardware tends to have a higher fail rate then midlife span hardware). You can use a tool like HDDScan. Source: 5 months ago

• HDD not accessible suddenly?

  As a first step I'd recommend that you run HDDScan against your HDD. Source: 11 months ago

• PS3 stuck at restoring

  The issue is that files became corrupted, resulting in it needing to check the file system. If you have a hard drive enclosure, I would recommend using the enclosure to connect the drive to a computer, and running a drive diagnostic utility. GSmartControl is a great free program for checking the drive for physical damage. HDDScan can show you where there are bad sectors on the drive. If you’re feeling adventurous,...

• How to verify health of the newly purchased refurbished harddrive?

  This is the correct url right? https://hddscan.com/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Look at this pc i found thrown away. Yes those are all 4tb hdds so 16tb total. Time to download my entire steam library on these puppies : D

  Smart diagnostics can be done with drive manufacturer's utilities, or a number of third-party utilities, such as hddscan for windows. Some major brand oem systems (such as dell, hp) have diagnostics baked into the motherboard firmware that can do these tests as part of its overall diagnostics test suite. Source: over 1 year ago

• I NEED HELP! How can I fix this?

  I use an app to check system temps: OpenHardwareMonitor. Some people like SpeedFan, does most of the same stuff. Source: over 1 year ago

• Question - Are the loading times supposed to be this bad right now??

  That's not super common (but it does happen ofc). It might be worth running a tool to scan the drive and take a peek at the SMART data. I typically use Speedfan https://almico.com/speedfan.php. Source: over 1 year ago

• Computer has come back from a repair shop wiped and is missing A vital app I used to control fan speeds and I cant redownload it. Any alternative apps?

  You'll get better gpu support from Afterburner, but if you have a weird chipset or an incompatible fan controller, good old SpeedFan still has a few tricks. Source: almost 2 years ago

• SSD and HDD usage goes to 100% for the simplest processes

  Check disk health with speedfan from http://almico.com/speedfan.php. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Computer Software for me :)

  Speedfan Freeware gives you some info about your temps, but its mostly used to set up your custom fan control, such as increasing rpm of your front intake fans when temp of GPU and/or CPU reaches a certain point and much more, how much you can do with it depends on the fan controller chip that is used on your mainboard, so you mileage may vary.
