I'm seriously thinking of getting the Corsair K70. Are mechanical keyboards more reliable than membrane ones like the Logitech G213? I wont have the same issues?

Yeah I just tried to use the keyboard in safe mode and the problem is the same unfortunately. I don't want to go through the trouble of taking the keyboard apart. Thanks for finding those instructions for me though. Could you recommend me a reliable keyboard for me to buy?

Well here's a video of me using the keyboard which shows how the "U" key is malfunctioning: View: https://youtu.be/EnMZB3PLAVY I'm going to try what you advised and load the computer in safe mode and see will the keyboard work better.

Okay so I was able to remove all of the keys and I cleaned all of the dust and small debris underneath. The problem still persists unfortunately. Sometimes I have to press the "u" key three times before the computer registers it. It's so annoying. I wonder if it's an issue with my computer in...

Well see, I had a crappy Dell keyboard for 10 years and I never cleaned it(even though it was extremely dusty etc) whereas these Logitech keyboard seem to malfunction after a short period of time. How do I actually remove the keys on this particular keyboard? Is there a particular tool you can...

So I bought a Logitech G213 keyboard about 1.5 years ago and I started to have problems with it. Sometimes I would have to press certain keys twice or even three times for the keystroke to register. This would particularly be a problem for the i,o,u and v keys. Also with some keys when I press...

Apologies, I forgot to include my specs. My specs are as follows: Ryzen 3700x 16GB Ram ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus RTX 2070 Super

So I built my PC without an anti-static wristband around 2 years ago. About 6 months into using the PC my computer would crash after using Google Chrome for a few hours. Here's a screenshot of the kinds of error messages I would get: https://ibb.co/4SRTWWM I would have to always restart the PC...

I don't know much about virtual machines. I think I remember someone talk about how VMs are used for testing out software of spurious origin etc. I doubt most people would be using VMs in everyday usage, would they?

Okay cool. That's all I wanted to know. Cheers.

Look at this article: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-enable-cpu-virtualization-in-your-computer-bios/ Here's a quote: "CPU Virtualization is a hardware feature found in all current AMD & Intel CPUs that allows a single processor to act as if it was multiple individual CPUs...

So I built my current PC two years ago with the following specs: Ryzen 7 3700X ASUS TUF Gaming X570 Plus motherboard 16GB Ram 1TB SSD Boot Drive I noticed recently that under the CPU section in my Task Manager that "virtualization" is disabled. I had no idea what this was and I looked it up...

By the way I forgot to mention this is what Windows PC Health says as you can see in this screenshot: https://snipboard.io/WVdUin.jpg So it's a bit weird that one thing says the PC is fine to install Windows 11 but the Windows Update says otherwise...

Cheers for the reply. Here's a screenshot of what I see: https://snipboard.io/Je6dY4.jpg It's just that it would be more convenient to install Windows 11 through this method rather than trying to find my USB key!

Hi there, So I'm trying to update from Windows 10 to 11 but in Windows Update it says that my PC does not meet minimum requirements. I turned on TPM in my BIOS and when I restarted the computer and ran Windows PC Health Check it states "This PC meets Windows 11 requirements". Yet when I go...

Okay I'll follow your advice. If I dragged and dropped my files that are on my boot drive onto my secondary drives is there a chance that the malware can hide itself in those files and spread itself onto the non-boot drives? Which method of reinstalling Windows 10 do you recommend to me...

About a year. I'm worried I may have installed a mining virus that uses up my RAM in the background perhaps? I don't know...

Here's a screenshot of what I see when I open resource monitor: https://pasteboard.co/AWEGzfaKsywe.png From what I remember I used MalwareBytes and a couple of other things that I can't remember. Hitman Pro I think?

I've done tons of malware scans with no results. I was thinking that it could be mining malware or something but the Virus apps that I have used haven't detected any mining virus. This issue has been going on for months. It just started happening maybe 6 months after I built the PC. It was...

So I replaced the 5700XT with an RTX 2070 Super and a year ago and I'm having weird issues when I use applications of my PC. Sometimes I will be using Chrome and only using 4 tabs and after a couple of hours it will crash stating that there is not enough memory which is odd considering I have...

So I built my current PC a year ago and decided to use a Samsung 860 EVO 1TB as the boot drive for it. The motherboard in this PC is a "ASUS Tuf Gaming X570" which I believe has a slot that allows me to install an NVMe drive. I've heard that these kinds of drives are the fastest drives you...

As the title suggests, I have an SSD drive that belongs to my new computer and acts as the boot drive and I need to get access to a file that would have been on the desktop of my new computer. For some reason my monitor wont work with the new computer so I've connected my SSD boot drive to my...

Well see I recently formatted the USB drive with the exFAT format. The format options presented to me were between NTFS and exFAT as shown here: https://ibb.co/1ZnyqQQ Also the USB drive I'm using has 64 GB capacity. On top of this, it was indeed plugged into the USB sockets located at the back...

Hi there, I'm trying to update the BIOS on my ASUS X570-Plus motherboard at the moment and I've downloaded the required CAP file that you are meant to put on a USB stick in order to install the update through BIOS. However when I enter into the BIOS of my computer I am presented with 5 storage...

Perfect. Thanks for your help :)

Cool that's great. I've deleted the 4MB and the rest of the space freed up. I'm trying to format the drive at the moment and I'm wondering could you help me select the appropriate options shown here: https://ibb.co/7b7JtVD Will I just leave the options as they are and click on "Start"?

It gives me the same storage space of 4MB in Disk Management as you can see here: https://ibb.co/hK8wG51 And I've tried formatting it through Disk Management via FAT and NTFS and it still shows 4MB as the storage capacity.

Hi there, I bought a SanDisk Ultra 64GB a few months ago on Amazon. Here is the item listing: https://ibb.co/3sFxP8V I remember that I used this USB drive in an attempt to install Ubuntu on my system(which I ultimately failed at) and now the USB key only displays a maximum capacity of 4MB...

Surely my system can handle these many tabs? It's a Ryzen 3700x with 16GB of ram. I've had way more tabs open in the past when I first got this PC and I never had any issues with freezing etc..

Reinstalling Windows on my boot drive is really extreme to me. I'd have to reinstall all of the apps that I use. It would take ages to get back to where I am at the moment.

I just finished running a Bitdefender scan and no threat were found. Here is a screenshot: https://ibb.co/gJFHS72 I ran MalwareBytes also and nothing was found either. Can you recommend any other offline virus protection software that I can download for free that would help with my specific issue?

I've uploaded a video on Youtube that shows me opening and closing the task manager. As you can see when I initially open the manager the CPU usage is unusually high and then it quickly goes back to normal: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B44VHBlDBzU I'm just wondering if this is...

Would the virus be that sophisticated that it could hide itself from virus scanners? I thought those programs can find any virus...

What's the least finicky way to wipe and install Windows? I installed Windows on this PC(which I built myself) by downloading the installer onto a USB key so I know how to install through this method. But what's the best way to wipe my SSD boot drive? I hardly need to wipe the other two storage...

What do you mean when you say "you have it locked down to just the C drive"?

The memory related pop up messages started to occur around the time I downloaded a game from a website. I've used the website before and I've never had any issues though. I could very well have downloaded a virus when downloading this game. I've heard of certain kinds of malware that use a...

I've never done anything regarding registry hacks. Is it possible I may have downloaded a game and that changed the registry in some way?

I don't think so. I'm not sure what registry hacks are.

Yes they are. They are "Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4 " Shown here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0143UM4TC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

When you say I "messed with the virtual memory" do you mean when I changed the memory back from 32000mb? I remember months ago I changed it to that very high number because someone recommended me to do so in order to make a particular video game work. That's why it was so high in the first place...
