I was just guessing well i never oc'ed intel cpu before. CPU degraded probably means it no longer can maintain stability at the specific voltage, you may need to increase more voltage to make it stable again.
i'd recommend you to play a couple of game/IBT/stress test to see whether if your pc still crash.
faulty psu and ram also can make pc unstable too.

go to "Run" and type eventvwr.msc, you will find the system log under windows logs.

not as fast as Sandisk extreme usb thumbdrive/HyperX thumbdrive though.

OCZ Vector gets impressive reviews, Indilinx Barefoot 3 does the trick

USB 3 thumbdrives right??

Yup, but iirc some other SSD already selling at cheaper price, you still can connect the SSD to eSATA port provided your mobo support SATA 6GB/s, but the sata power connector is a bit hassle to connect
some SSD bundle a enclosure(Kingston HyperX SSD upgrade kit for example) to connect your SSD to USB port(no messy wires), but the transfer rat will be stuck at 480MBit/s (60MB/s)

Anyone knows where to get intel SSD 330 around damansara/publika? just got the green light to change HDD to SSD.

want to ask...
planning upgrade to 240/ 256gb ssd since my intel 330 120GB not enough for me to use.....
and 2moro already pc....so want to survey ....
thanks.....

if i upgrade to a SSD do i need to re install the whole OS and everything into the new SSD or is there anyway to clone all my current HDD stuff to my SSD ?

Disk cloning software < well it will be easier if buy upgrade kit, they will bundle a software.
i duno other brands, but i have used Arcronis True Image cloning software, which bundled with Kingston SSD,
Very easy to used yet very advanced, can clone even if the destination disk is smaller than source disk(provided if the partition can still fit into the small destination disk).

480MBit/s (60MB/s) ..is there a formula for conversion of figures?

8bit = 1 bytes,
hardware and software use different standard, i duno how to explain lol

eg you got a SATA 6Gbps SSD and connected to a SATA 6Gbps port, max transfer rate you can get on windows is ~600Mbytes/s.

can power outage affect an ssd? I've read about this online and some say certain ssd have protection against this

because this is the 2nd power outage at my house since I installed my ssd about 3 weeks ago. its an intel 330

without a battery backed cache, any disk drive (HDD or SSD) will have the likelihood of data corruption in an event of a power failure.

A SSD Nand-flash must fully complete an in-progress program (write) operation to ensure the data is stored properly within the NAND cell, so if halfway power got cut, you may experience some data loss/corruption.

if lets say i set in my desktop power options to turn off the hard disk (SSD in this case) after 20 mins idle, will it be affected, if the power outage occur after 20 mins i leave my comp.

There are cases users run into 'Holland' when installation is done straight in AHCI mode on desktop. I mean real case from personal experience. Installing it first on IDE was perfectly fine.

I am not sure what causes this, but cases and outcome vary.

planning to buy intel ssd 520 480Gb (RM1167) or
520 240Gb (RM558)

Just go for the 480GB, you wont regret it.

now ssd price is dropping, IMO go for a size that u need now, buy 240gb now then maybe when ur 240gb is full, that rm500 balance can buy another 500GB already

you wont go wrong with larger size of SSD Help you to store more software.. hehe

480GB
If for Notebook, yes go for it.
If for moving large files that involves photo/video editing, yes go for it
But if nothing as above, not worth it. Go with 240GB and use other half of the fund for something else
