    PCSPECIALIST Old spec HD upgrade needed

    It would appear so. I just got this response today- "Yes, if you want to have an SSD, you would need to replace your current HDD with an 7mm 2.5 inch SATA SSD."

    Hey, I'm suffering with a hugely annoying BSOD issue. Everytime I try to boot into windows it occurs and I can only boot into safe mode. I cannot system restore as my PC wasn't making restore points (stupidly forgot to check). It seems a driver issue or something similar has caused this. How...
