it'll ask you what you want to clone, then will reboot your system for you and start back up in a DOS mode to do its thing.

Download the free trial of Acronis: http://www.acronis.com/en-us/personal/pc-backup/ Then clone your existing harddrive to another. Works like a damned charm!

I have an 960t that I have unlocked to 6 cores (essentially the same as your cpu) and overclocked to 3.5ghz/core. I'm using a Zalman 9700cu with no issues. In fact, the warmest it gets is around 58c under load. My .02

Pics? Need to verify if it's a surface damage, or multilayer damage. If only surface damage, Plugwash's advice is sufficient. If the screwdriver gouged through the top layer and damaged layers beneath, you might not be able to repair.

depending on the harddrive it is, go to the manufacturer's website and download whatever diagnostic tools they may have. Essentially you want to find out the 'health' of your drive. Also while it's running, it would be a good idea to make an image of your drive, and also backup any important...

One is a cloning software (1:1 copy), the other is a backup. I'm assuming the cloning software allows you to select one drive and clone it to another, whereas the backup will ask you what files you want backed up, and where you want them saved. Good question, and I agree it's confusing...

easy... get an external enclosure to put your new ssd in, plug it in through USB, download/install this software: http://www.easeus.com/disk-copy/ Then clone your mechanical drive to your SSD. When it's finished, you take the mechanical out, and install your SSD in its place. I've done this...

you can always try for a 960t chip as well. It's a native quad-core, which can be unlocked to a 6 core chip. I have one and love it.

Do you even know what 'bait and switch' means? By definition, Newegg would have to advertise said D-link switch, then when you try to buy they would tell you it's unavailable and start pressuring you into a higher priced/different product. A revision change is not bait and switch. If that...

the reason the price went up on your drive was because of Newegg's inventory monitoring software. I've seen it happen before on other items. The more webhits a product gets, after a certain period of time the software will automatically raise the price of it. It's happened with me while...

reset your BIOS and try again...

absolutely. You should at least do the 1st two. Blow that case out with an air compressor. Then take off the heatsink and remove the old thermal paste with Isopropyl Alcohol. Reapply new paste (size of a grain of rice) and reinstall heatsink. You'll probably be amazed at the change

have you reapplied thermal paste?(size of a grain of rice) Have you cleaned the dust/dirt out? Have you ensured you have proper airflow (from front of case to the rear of the case)?
