One of my PC's running Windows 7 Pro has just suddenly started acting very strangely. Basically when I press the "r" key, the run dialog box opens.

This happened suddenly without warning and I have been unable to get rid of it. I have tried the following (none of which...

Hi everyone, not sure if this should be in the BSOD section or here. But my PC started acting up a few days ago, lagging like hell and freezing shortly after boot. I had some occasional BSODs also - but I seldom get to that point before it hangs. I have tried the Windows Repair several times to no avail. (Often that hangs too). I used Acronis True Image to restore an old system image from...

One of my Seagate 500 GB drives has gone haywire and I decided I better replace it before it crashes all together. So I got a WD 1T and used Minitool Partition Magic to transfer the WIN 7 OS to the new drive.
