    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

    C:\Windows\SysWow64

    Thanks for the response Dave. I ran the program and thought I was lucky when I found the Adobe Flash updater linked to that. I unchecked it and thought just to be safe, I'd keep looking down the list only to find many, many more including many what looked
    like system files along with others. There are these that are checked also.

    _Wow64 File not found: C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\Wow64.dll

    _Wow64cpu File not found: C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\Wow64cpu.dll

    _Wow64win File not found: C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\Wow64win.dll

    _wowarmhw File not found: C:\WINDOWS\System32\wowarmhw.dll

    _wowarmhw File not found: C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\wowarmhw.dll

    There is one like this that looks valid- _Wow64cpu c:\windows\syswow64\wow64cpu.dll

    With all of the ones I found, I hesitate to disable them without knowing what I'm doing. If an entry says "file not found" and is active, would it be safe to disable those?

    Thanks

    Recovering files

    Hi, you would need to describe exactly what you have done step by step as the possibilities in your minimal description are many. We don't even know for sure exactly where your original disk is or what method you have used, so no point suggesting data recovery methods yet. I could provide a page of questions, but better if you take the initiative as a list a. I .... b. Then I ... c. ... Thanks.
