Not exactly sure what fixed this, but it showed up again. I uninstalled and reinstalled USB 3.1 driver and reenabled the onboard Mobo sound card, plugged it into 2 different ports without success. putzed around in device manager a bit, then plugged it into the original USB port that didn't work...

Sorry, the display issue seemed irrelevant. I was having an issue where the Nvidia control panel would not let me switch from Ycbcr422 to RGB. tried using Display Driver Uninstaller to fully uninstall the driver and reinstall the driver to fix that, but it didnt work. turned out my monitor was...

I used DDU to fix an issue I was having with a display driver. It said it was attempting to create a restore point when I opened it, so I figured it made one (no idea where though cause I don't see it as an option in the system restore menu) Once I got the new Nvidia driver all set up, I found...

It would help to know the exact model of the laptop you bought. You could try pressing F8 or F12 during bootup, as that's usually the temporary boot device menu. Also look for anything called CSM mode in the BIOS and make sure it's on (it will support DOS devices). Finally, I'd recommend...

I got my new PC up and running a few days ago, everything ran fine on bios defaults. Today i tried overclocking the ram to the XMP. That didnt work, so I started doing it in intervals. Got it up to 2666MHz with the XMP timings and saw that the voltage was down around 1.2v when GSkill rates it at...

So I've been through a bit of trying things out in the last couple of hours. At first, i went ahead and tried overclocking the CPU. I downloaded that modded bios and tried a whole bunch of overclocks, none of which seemed to be able to get past the windows loading screen, but I'm 90% sure that's...

So before anyone says anything, i know there are a number of similar posts to this, yet everything they say I've tried (except overclocking the i3) and i still cant get my system to work right. I have an i3-6100, an Asrock z170 Pro 4 motherboard, and 2x8gb sticks of Team Vulcan DDR4 3000 MHz...

I'm building a new budget gaming pc, and I'm trying to decide on a cpu around the 130$ range. On one hand, the Skylar i3 seems like a decent option since it has 4 threads, a decent clock rate, and the newest architecture. The one I found was around 115-125$ On the other hand, AMD has much more...

Apparently, the search service wasn't on. btw, i could search for indexing options in start, cause search wasn't working, but i managed to find the troubleshooter in the control panel also found out my SSD was indexed, so I turned that off (i heard it doesnt help to index SSD's)

Windows 10 splits up the drive into all of those (tiny) partitions for it's own use. you definitely dont want to join them back into one partition, or windows wont be able to use them. The Recovery partition is for the Windows 8 and 10 feature that allows you to do a clean install inside of...

DO NOT defrag an SSD. it does nothing but move data around, which is pointless, cause an SSD doesn't care where the data is, so you're just shortening it's lifespan. in Windows 8 and Windows 10, when you go to the Defrag menu, it should say Optimize next to your SSD. this option IS something you...

you could try optimizing your SSD (http://www.thessdreview.com/ssd-guides/optimization-guides/the-ssd-optimization-guide-ultimate-windows-8-edition/) also make sure the programs you want to load the fastest are on the SSD, and that your SSD is hooked up to a Sata 3 slot, with a Sata 3 cable, and...
