Agree. And buy a USB disk drive and use it to back up to regularly.

I have suspected my power supply has been on the way out for a while. It normally runs all the time and if it does get shut off sometimes it takes a while to get it power back on. The fan in the power supply has died as has the separate fan in the back of the case I added. Lately I have been getting blue screen crashes every now and then. I really am not sure how old this system is I built it myself. It’s running windows 7 and has a AMD Phenom 2.7 ghz professor and 8gb ram. Other than the power supply issue it seems to be running fine and is plenty past for anything I do on it. So I can replace the power supply which I will do ASAP but this hard drive is not backed up which is not good. I think I should get a new replacement and clone the drive over to a new one, perhaps a SSD. It’s this or just buy a whole new tower either a prebuilt one or build another one, or replace the motherboard too. Actually upon boot up I see the bios is dated 2011, so it is at least that old. I think what I will do is order a new power supply and HDD. If something later on fails such as the motherboard I can upgrade it then. That is unless you people thing I should just do it now. Have there been that many advancements in motherboards and processors in the last 8 or so years?
