If the PSU fan does not work, I would look at the wiring from the case's front panel to the motherboard to make sure you have the front power...
Bitlocker is not under discussion in this thread and has not been mentioned until now. If you want to discuss Bitlocker, it should be in a new thread.
Check the big connector again. On newer PSUs, you often get a 24-Pin connector instead of the old 20-pin type. But because these new PSUs are...
I see this problem with several of my computers (W7 and W8) that are not used every day. What happens (I believe!), in particular with the...
My vote is for Start8 because it does NOT have all sorts of extra features for tweaking! While it has been awhile since I tried Classic Shell, it...
Well, with a 240GB SSD, you have plenty of space to install the OS and all your program files too. That is what I did with my 256GB SSD and I am...

How different? Different brands and model numbers, or two of the same model drives? You might check out Microsoft Fixit.
Certainly, killing power without "gracefully" shutting down Windows first can, and often does result in corrupt system files and drives. Chkdsk...
Because that is logical. Up is on, down is off. You do it backwards because NZ is upside down! ;) Switchable outlets seems to be 220-240VAC...
Very similar. I have been a Gigabyte motherboard fan for more than 10 years - ever since they replaced a 4-year old board with leaky caps for free...
