I have an HP Pavilion 570-p059 mini tower/desktop that crashes during startup about 2 seconds after the loading circle starts below the Windows 10 logo. The same thing also happens at the same spot when I try to run the startup repair or the Windows 10 installer. Basically anything that...

Hi there, I have a Sony Blu Ray player that has a usb port that I usually use to watch movies stored on a flash drive. I recently acquired a 128gb flash drive that I have had trouble getting to work. Apparently I need to create a 64gb partition on the flash drive that's formatted with FAT32 for...

I am trying to help a freind who has somehow mucked up the permissions for his desktop folder in Windows 10, which needless to say is hampering the functioning of his laptop. I have tried only one method so far which was to (desktop folder right click properties) replace owner on subcontainers...

The locking tab was still attached when the problem started. I tried to carefully remove it intending to reattach it but broke it. But like I said the problem still happened even when the tab was attached properly and in position. If the power button itself has somehow packed it in I can...

No the cable is fine, The tab on the connector broke off. See pictures: I tried this repair method: but pressing power button afterwards still does nothing. However if I apply more pressure to the ribbon tip (ie. shim, tape, etc) the laptop will power on but then turn off as if the...

I have an Acer Laptop (V3-472) that has a broken ribbon cable connector for the power button. The tab on the top of the connecor that flips down to hold the ribbon tip in place has broken off. I have tried several methods to hold the ribbon in place, but have had mainly two results that don't...

Hoping to find something for $50-60 which is why i'm looking online as opposed to a local store which would be more $.

I am looking for an SSD online and coming across many brands I am unfamiliar with such as Dogfish, Kingshark, Kingdata, etc. Is it worth saving $10-15 with one of these as opposed to a more familiar brand like Kingston or Transcend for example? Thanks.

My HP Pavilion G6 1d40nr laptop started overheating and turning off because the fan had stopped working. I found an identical laptop and installed the fan from it. I kept the original heatsink and fan apparatus, just replacing the fan itself. However the fan from the parts laptop isn't working...

Thanks for your feedback So I did as you suggested, and even though the pc seemed to startup, the red mem light was on the whole time and had no video at all. I tried switching the chips in the first channel slots and same thing. Also, after installing the new 2gb chip, going back to the...

I have been using a 4gb ram chip in my Asus P8P67 LE mb and earlier today acquired a 2gb chip and a pair of 4gb chips. I was hoping to run the pair of 4's with the 4 I was already using, but for some reason the slots on the 4gb pair don't line up even though they are also ddr3. I then tried to...

Could I install the driver by putting the hd in another machine as a second drive? Without video working on this build I can't think of any other way to install the driver.

Thanks for responding. Apparently the first mb i tried (Asus P5K-VM) does have onboard graphics so I think I will put the cpu back into that one to rule out a graphics issue.

After getting no video signal from the first build, I have installed the cpu into a different mb and still no video signal. My first build: MB: Asus P5K-VM CPU: Core 2 Quad Q6600 PSU: 465W RAM: Kingston ValueRAM 1 GB 667MHz DDR2 DIMM Fans: cpu and rear case Power switch and speaker are only...

I am building a computer for the first time and have no graphics card. It's my understanding that most mb's have built in graphics that will at least provide a video signal. However, I can get a signal sometimes and other times not. I am adding a peripheral or taking something out that is not...
