The Short Version: I want to dual boot windows 7 and windows 10 on one machine, originally built for win7. I can boot win7 normally off SATA 3 SSD, and I can boot the windows 10 off of its M2 disk when plugged into a M2 to USB3 adapter, but when I try to boot it off of an internal location, it...

Correct. My apologies for not mentioning before, I'll update the original post. The short is I ordered essentially the same model as my original PSU (a slightly updated model number but same wattage and connections) and despite swapping out the PSU, the problem was identical.

As title states, my computer has begun a strange behavior. It will turn on, with an audible click sound, and then that click sound will be all that happens. Every few seconds, it will click again. The computer never reaches POST. The click is most likely coming from the motherboard, as I've...

Hello all, I have recently purchased a used razer blade 14" laptop (2017 model), and have noticed a visual issue that seemingly occurs at certain positions and holding styles (ie. leaning the back of the computer on one knee, while typing with both hands resting on the laptop to keep it steady...

Taking it out ended up being the solution. I removed the HDD and popped it into another computer, where it was effortlessly detected and formatted. Put it back into the laptop and re-installed Win7 without any problems.

Hello all. I am working today on a Thinkpad T440 which is running Windows 7 Professional x64. This computer, starting sometime this morning, is having UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME blue screens. It will boot to this if told to boot Windows normally, and if repair mode is attempted, the repair mode...

Sorry I didn't mention, those settings are already turned on for all users across all of the machines I've checked, both the working and non-working machines. I guess I assumed it was implied that this was the case, but I should have implicitly stated it. One more thing I forgot, users say...

I have been told by multiple users in our workplace that they have to repeatedly enter form data onto their computer for things like email, our workplace time clock system, and other daily-use fields. As expected this is an inconvenience and I would like to find a way for that data to be saved...

I was brought in a laptop to work on that has typical signs of HDD failure. Cannot boot to Windows, HDD makes clicking noises, etc. The problem for me is that the problematic drive doesn't appear under BIOS, through various recovery tools I have, or in partedmagic running off a live CD. I know...

I've been asked to look into any computers which do not support Windows 8.1. The goal is to either avoid windows 10 or ensure that compatibility exists with old software. I don't think there are many computers that will outright not support windows 8, but with how Microsoft has been pushing hard...

Indeed, Google tries to correct it to the name of a city in Italy. Cleaning with malwarebytes did resolve it, as the strange program is nowhere to be found now. I was just curious whether or not it was a known thing or not. I'm fortunate that I've so far never been the first one to ever find...

I tried search engines as well as looking on the usual spots, and I can't find anything about a process called egnaxsia.exe. This process was running on a computer which was riddled with adware. I've since cleaned it, but never did find anything about this mystery process. Can anyone comment on...

Coming back to this today, I find it a bit strange. Is it really possible for an OS to not be able to boot off of the HDD because of the SSD not being present? I'm not fully aware of the setup used in this computer because it was built by someone else (and also done 4 years ago now, and they...

No chance of an RMA now, the drive is 4 years old! I guess it was inevitable, just a bummer anyway. I'll be in touch with the friend tomorrow about what course of action to take. Thanks for the replies!
