Is there a tool that will tell you exactly what is on your hard drive and how much space it takes up other that the standard stuff that comes with windows? I've run the standard clean tools and defragged etc etc, but my hard drive is very full. I know where a fair majority is taken up due to games and music, but there is also a decent amount (read: upward of 50 gigs) that I can not figure out what is occupying it for the life of me. There must be large files somewhere on my hard drive that I can't find. I'd like to free up some space.

I'm running a 750W OCS Xstream or w/e. First one failed after 7-8 months of normal conditions. Not sure if it was a faulty unit or just like every other to come out of the factory. When it died it took my motherboard with it.
HOWEVER, I got lucky since both parts were still under warranty and just had to wait 3 weeks for replacements for both. The new PSU seems to be running fine so far, but beware, if you *ever* start to smell a funky plasticy smell coming from your computer your power supply is likely dying. In this event, don't wait until it dies. Get a new one or a replacement, because it only took me once to learn that having it kill other parts with it is a major pain.
Lower the game refresh rate and/or resolution.RobblerThis. Out of range simply means that the resolution or refresh rate is set beyond what is supported.

Hah. funny post is funny
There is a lot of truth to this actually. We can go by history, and historically this is very true. When the new wave of consoles come out, graphics tend to jump leaps and bounds. I don't think this is because the technology isn't capable beforehand, but more like developers limit themselves because of games being multiplatform. They need to ensure that a game that came out 3-4 years after the latest consoles can perform well on said consoles, regardless of whether or not there is amazing pc hardware out that could make their game look sooo much better. Basically, it comes down to money.
