Got this 1333mhz ram from symmtronix (CPU-Z says its crucial )for an old PC. on the lalbel it clearly says 1300mhz PC10600 but CPU-z says its 1600mhz PC12800 i also have a G skill 1333mhz stick. My issue is, when i run memtest with just either stick connected, everything is fine. (also even...

I wonder what will happen to the data. I mean i don't care if the data is completely lost as the drive was an OS drive with couple of games and apps and not important documents. But i did have saved passwords on Chrome. Will they get compromised? I did have a password on the os but i don't think...

My crucial mx500 that i bought in 2020 just randomly stopped working. I had the os on it so the os suddenly froze and pc restarted and i got the message of no boot device found. So i changed the sata cable, sata power cable, used the ssd in a usb enclosure, put in a different pc and nothing...

tried the minitool partition wizard and failed. but i found this tool provided by PNY for pny and HP USB drives that worked and i managed to format the drive. Apparently it need a low-level format but the new app they are providing isnt working but i managed to find an older version that worked...

i already have 3 drives and 1 of them is an ssd (system) and the other one is nearly full. guess i am buying a new one

i honestly dont know if its new. i just never listened to the sound until yesterday and i have a seagate one next to it that makes some sounds too but not as much as the WD. maybe WD is 1Tb and seagate 500Gb, so they are making different sounds. dont know

My WD hard disk is making some weird clicking noise when writing stuff to it and if i run crystaldiskmark, the sound just goes to overdrive. I've checked the health of the drive using crystaldiskinfo and everything looks pristine. Also i've done some basic drive diagnostic using HDDScan and...

I5 3570 Gigabyte B75M-D3H 3RAM sticks, 2GB, 4GB, 2GB DDR3 Corsair VS550 psu

I've been having these weird crashed recently and after the crash i turn off the machine by removing the power and then when i try to boot, it does nothing. The fans just keep spinning and no image on screen. But if i leave the system powered off overnight, it turns on fine and work for couple...

i see. thanks for the explanation. i will try that.

the front ones work just fine no matter whats plugged in the back. I dont understand how i can fix the switch of my mic with a needle. can you elaborate?

i did install a realtek driver from the motherboard support page but the issue persisted. edit: when i try to uninstall the audio drivers from the computer management panel, the drivers just reinstall themselves.
