It started acting up again and had many errors, so I wiped it down and reloaded windows. What A PITA even though I saved p/w and everything I thought I needed. Thanks for the help,
everyone.

Does this mean reinstalling windows worked? If so, that's awesome...... and yeah... a PITA too.It started acting up again and had many errors, so I wiped it down and reloaded windows. What A PITA even though I saved p/w and everything I thought I needed. Thanks for the help,
When it's stable and working... think about imaging it for a quicker restore.

What software would you recommend? I've never done any backing up or imaging on my computers. I keep jump drivers and pictures of what I think are important, but saving the OS would be great.

The free version of Macrium Reflect is what I use. I have fast 20 Gbps+-capable external storage so I throw it on there. From start to finish, I'm fully up again in ~20 mins with all my basic programs (MS Office, game launchers, monitoring tools, etc. My games are stored on a different partition (data on a different drive) so when I blow the OS out of the water, I'm not DLing and reinstalling games.
I take the image again periodically and keep two, just in case one is somehow garbo.
