    Is there a way to reset my PC but keep 30-60 gb of programs that would be hard to reinstall?


    I could not really find a good answer to this question so I figured I would just ask, I want to reset my pc and get almost everything removed because my pc is clustered with stuff I don't need over the years. However I want to keep a few programs that would be a pain to reinstall. Is there a way to reset my pc and have it run new but keep like 30-60 gb of programs I want to stay.


    In general I just have a lot of problems with my pc and would just like it to be cleaned almost completely, but there are some programs I have that would take a long time to find and reinstall.

    :)

    GPU-Z 0.7.8 / 0.7.9 / 0.8.0 Bios reading not possible GTX670-solved with gpu-z 0.8.1

    @Maban - does GPU-Z fail the same way for you the way it does for me? I.e. total system freeze/lockup, requiring a hard reset?

    @W1zzard - I will try the suggested steps later today, as I am not near that PC at the moment.

    PC Build Steps

    Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval
    • Install system in case
      • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
    • Turn on PC
    • setup HDD
    • run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
      • run realtemp at the same time
    • While in Prime95 test
      • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
      • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
      • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!
    What do you guys think??
