[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1822983, member: 56379"] This is called having a nice dialog between the OP and forum members trying to help.:) I think for the most part the "darts" that have been throw are: - Replace the old HD with a new HD. - Replace the old HD with an SSD. - Install 1 or 2 storage devices. - Run Onyx. - Create more free space. - Replace thermal compound. I believe running Onyx has been tried...not sure if creating more free space was tried. The rest of the conversation is deciding what to do (what to replace)...and once that's been done...order the parts & do the install(s)...and do any thermal paste replacing while in there (only open things up once).:) A pretty good conversation I think:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
