I actually have a 2TB secondary hard drive but it's having non responsive issues. (it's not even a year old) I need to trade out the sata cables to see if it fixes it. When I was recording dead island, it would randomly freeze up my game for a bit, then be fine. I have 12 GB ram.
Far as the furnace, yeah, people have been spamming it up on the comments telling me not to use sticks.
Thanks for the tips so far though.
