So of course I've got a new rig, couple of months old, and it has been ok, but the other day, I tried to do an overclock on my processor. The system is
Athlon x2 5200+
2gb ddr2 667
320 gb seagate sata hd
DVD burner
7300LE video card
Gigabyte m570(I think) SLI motherboard
Tried to do a little bit of an overclock on my processor, but it got unstable, reset to stock settings and rebooted, video drivers, audio and onboard nic drivers were all flaky after that, so I suspect I corrupted my OS. Sometimes it's stable and runs great, sometimes it locks up, have OS files not working right, or sometimes blue screen, one of which was something about a hard fault and something having to do with windows/system/root folder. I just have a single drive configured at this point, if I do a repair install will I lose my data? My wife has lots of pictures saved on there that I don't want to lose. I am just wondering if I do the repair install will I lose any data and 2 will it fix my problem? Before that I had only had 1 blue screen since shortly after Christmas.
