In the last few days my PC aka the "Love Machine" has begun frezzing and randomly shutting down, this has been happing more and more often in the last 12 hours. (pics below) While backing up my important photo's and my steam folder the "Love Machine" suddenly passed away and no longer boots. RIP Few members say my Harddrive has just died just wanted some other thoughts aswell. thanks It started with:  And then again:  And again...:  Then:  Once it was done: then it rebooted  30 mins later, computer freezes and reboots to this  On next reboot:  Final words:  I have a number of weeks left on the warranty and will be sending her away to hopefully be fixed.

Dude that looks like its a heating issue, you need some water cooling. Just open the case and pour the glass of water over the components. Repeat as neeeded.

The card is DEAD! Overheating for sure. Also by the looks of that message (Capt Obvious ) Your boot drive is corrupted.... What sort of HDD are you running? If you can boot that drive once formatted, go to the manufactures website and find their HDD diagnostic program and check it  Take the card back and RMA it..... Do a fresh install and away you go. Not sure where you live...but here in QLD it's bloody hot! I have the side of my case off and the Air Con on and my system still gets toasty.... I have a shitty Corsair H80 wannabe water cooling unit on mine. but my card GTX 580 sits at about 79deg when gaming....

You could use Seagates Seatools to check a HDD and clean it up. Its been maybe a year since I have had to use it but I know from the last time i used it it will do both Seagate drives and other manufacturers drives. Also why do you have a webcam and yet have never shown us any of your home movies ?
