    Hard drive froze, then became unbootable


    I have to confess, I may have gotten a virus or malware from a ****. Clicking one of the videos may have caused the problem. At first, it was video that kept pausing, then after almost an hour of being patient with the video, my internet got cut off. I thought my ISP was doing maintenance because it was 10pm. I went to do something else but when I came back at midnight, there was still no internet on my computer but my modem's lights looked fine. I rebooted.

    Overclock your hard drive!!!

    Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

    REQUIREMENTS:
    • Hard drive with molex power connection.
    • PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
    • Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.
    STEPS:
    • Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
    • Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
    • Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
    • Plug in a drive and feel the speed!
    Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!
