so it wouldn't be wise to replace my hdd with an sdd of the same size?

That depends. How small is your hardrive / how loaded are you

SDD is fine, just remember that they apparently don't last as long - and if you permanently delete something, you can't do data recovery - it's gone.

how long would it last?

money isnt really a problem
my hdd is currently 500GB

Hello,
I registered on this forum just for this issue that has been pestering me just recently.
I seem to receive random BSoDs, they happen randomly, but can be "forced" by playing a game or stress-testing.
The first time they happened they happened while purely searching on the web. I was in holiday this weekend, and it didn't happen before. Looking onto it, I noticed fixes regarding driver updates. I had a NVIDIA Driver 310.xx, I now updated to the latest 320, with no avail regarding the errors.
Using BlueScreenView, I seen the Drivers causing problems are nvlddmkm.sys, tdx.sys, ioTblMap.sys, NDProxy.sys, and at the first error, which is x117, CompositeBus.sys.
I searched my guts out on Google for every driver and error (116/117) to notice mostly about video drivers (which I did update, and nothing changed) and the only other thing I found was something regarding nvlddmkm, changing the file. Additionally I also considered overheating (also resulting from my searches), opening up a temperature program, I noticed my GPU was as much as 70*C on idle, which is absurd. I have 3 case fans (2 in 1 out) and they were full of dust, after dedusting I got about 40*C on idle. Reasonable for me, but nothing changed regarding BSoD.
I also, at first, received driver crashing error, but no BSoD or screen flicking, but after 5-10 minutes after the respective error.

The easiest way I can force into a BSoD (?) is to run BF3, in which I play about 1 minute onto when the game crashes down, the screen flicking, ending up in my screen going "off" state and nothing doable, the HDD led on my case also stopping, and my Numlock led, likewise stopping. Upon restart/forced shutdown, dmp's are created, too, under my assumption, when the screen goes black there's a BSoD happening.

If it matters anyhow, the cable is connected to DVI-D.

Thanks in advance. If there's anything I missed that would help troubleshooting let me know.

Help me, please?

There's definitely something wrong. It was running, making that woom-woom-woom noise, and then it suddenly stopped with like a... grinding noise? I can't actually remember what the noise was, but I know it was bad. I opened a folder on the drive through a shortcut, and it went spun up again making the normal noises again, and loaded the files as it should. But it shouldn't be grinding to a halt.

If you think there is a problem you should definitely replace your hard drive as soon as possible. Hard drives tend to only get worse and you will begin to lose more and more data.

[Doomonkey]

-snip-

If you go to start > run > "msinfo32" it will bring up a system summary. On the bottom you should be able to use the search feature to search for "0x00000116"/'0x00000117". This might confirm what you already know, or tell you which piece of hardware is broken/breaking.

You can also go to the system event viewer and search for critical or error events around the time of your bluescreens. (Rebooting after a bluescreen is marked by a critical event) You will also have the ability to filter results and search for those two pieces of data in the events.

just remember that they apparently don't last as long

I have heard that yet mine has lasted around 5 years, whilst my HDD failed last year

HDD and SSD lifespans will vary based on how you treat them, if you try to defrag a SSD it will die faster, and if you constantly restart your computer while using a HDD it will die faster.

who knows when the intel lga 1150 (z87) chipsets will be retailed?

[Ethan]

you guys are all crazy horseshoes

[Tokthree]

Horsesandals to you, chum

[Mr.jacksaunt]

I'd wear socks and horsesandals

I'd like to know this as well

Oh my god, guys! It's a zombie!

My sister gave me her old dirty laptop. The battery is dead and the monitor is really weird. Unless you hold it a certain way, you'll get strange lines and stuff. It's hard to explain. I'll try to upload a video later. Anyway, I think I should unhinge the monitor, but I don't know how. The model is "PCG-5G3L". Any advice?

[KoopaScooper]

Unless you hold it a certain way, you'll get strange lines and stuff.

The wire for the monitor somehow came loose. Reconnecting it should do the trick.
While you're doing that, you might want to clean that stuff up. Looks nasty.
