    Guys,

    I'm pulling my hair off because a sudden system slow down (for some reason the computer became extremely slow without any reasonable reason) and thinking about restoring to the factory setting using AlienRespawn. Is there any known issue with this procedure (such as we know we should not install the Alien control panel from the CD because it fries the mobo)?

    Thanks a lot
