When I tried repairing the MBR with CMD with a windows Install disk, the HD still won't boot. When I put the HD on my desktop, it won't boot neither. But when I use my normal HD to boot, I can see the "faulty" hardrive. I can even access the files (which I did to backup some stuffs). Am I out of options (AKA reinstall Windows)? What else should I try? | ||

Google suggested pressing F8 to activate the system recover or something. F8 doesn't work, neither on my machine, neither one my friend's machine. Bios functions normally, both on desktop and laptop. HD shows up, no problem there. | ||

Might try to press "TAB" at the start to bring up the post (it masks every logo or graphic startup) and see if you see a message with something else than F8 ? Maybe i'msaying BS but i remember having F2 on my laptop. | ||

I just installed a W7 on my server (virtual machine) and the partition is 64GB. After installing, i have only 20GB of freedisk space. That would tell me that W7 is taking 40GB ! Weird thing is... i just reinstalled because i only had 32GB of disk and windows was taking 30... So after a fresh install windows is 14GB larger. But the thing is that when i show all folder and Properties it. It says that it's only 11GB large. So it seems i have 33Gb taken by something somewhere but... Where ? | ||

Download and check yourself: http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/treesize-free-portable Very handy app. Once I was wondering why my C: drive suddenly is full. Turned out one of Firefox files swelled to over 20GB. Without that app I would be looking for it forever. | ||

Can i delete them ? I think pagefile.sys is some kind of swap (i have 20Gb of ram on the VM) but the other one... no idea. | ||

powercfg /h off You need to do this from a command prompt window that you've run as Administrator. About the size of pagefile.sys, you can configure this somewhere in the window that opens when you click on "advanced system settings" on the left side of the "System" control panel screen. You can set it to a very small minimum size, and you can limit its max size. You can also completely disable it if you want to. | ||

The hibernate file stores your machine's state when your PC enters hibernate mode. This lets it reopen to where you left it instead of being a fresh boot up. I believe the space is pre-allocated to guarantee its availability. | ||

@Ropid. Does this command prevent the file to come back ? | ||

Different games load hardware in different ways and very rarely max every CPU core and graphics card at the same time Some games will be CPU limited at times with high load on a few cores, low load on the rest. At other times it might be CPU limit with high load across many cores, maybe GPU limited, etc. Even when load percentages read the same, hardware can be utilized in different ways under the hood which affects power draw and temperature. WoW can draw unusually high amounts of GPU power though i'm not sure how many engine versions that goes back to. If you have no FPS limit then WoW will keep going until your graphics card is busy 100% of the time or you have a CPU thread busy 100% of the time - doesn't get any more demanding than that. It's nice to have CPU cooling set up for this to never cause a bothersome increase in noise (100% load on one core will actually run a lot cooler than 100% across all cores, so if this triggers cooling issues then they would be a lot worse if you applied load across more cores) and to have a GPU clock / fan profile that works for it, too, many games will pin GPU @100% for hours and i have one specifically for WoW's high power draw. | ||
