360gb for an hdd is really small, try finding a bigger one
after around half a year of use my old 1tb hdd had 700gb or so gigabytes total and i only installed half of my steam library

[Cut Glass]

Alright. I updated it.

I tried most of those and the ones I didn't try are either impossible because I can't boot into windows at all or things I wouldn't want to do like a complete reinstallation since I have important school work.

I have a 700W PSU and my cables are not that long (for cable management a lot of the cables cannot reach behind the motherboard so I have to make it look ugly) is there longer cables and ones that would make it easier for cable management? This is my PSU. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152042

Update: Would this be a good buy? And will it be compatible with my PSU? http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/58-premium-cable-starter-kit.html

Serious issue going on here: I bought a Cyberpower Fangbook for around $1400 and it won't stop crashing.
It came with some stuff that I'm not used to seeing; something that Best Buy recommended called Trend Micro Internet Security, "SCM," and Killer Network Manager. I'm being superstitious about these, but they're annoying and weird.
It bluescreens about once a day, giving me a range of different errors. I have installed Skype, specifically the desktop version, and for a few days it refused to work at all. Steam did the same thing.
Using the program "FL Studio" seemed to result in crashes within an hour of launch.
The main issue, though, is the crashes. Once again, brand new computer, really nice, windows 8, doing this.

Sounds like RAM issues. Open a small lid on the bottom and check if your RAM is out of place or something.

Looks like I'll have to unscrew some stuff to get at it. I'll try that tomorrow.

Well what the forget no

Literally the only benefit of a prebuilt computer/laptop is that you don't have to worry about it being broken. Contact cyberpower and either get them to fix it, send you a new one, or refund your money. Don't open anything up, you shouldn't have to.

[Katadeus]

Well uh ok then

[Titanium Man]

yeah it'd probably void your warranty too

ic, thanks
