I have a friend that is running into this strange issue where his PC will randomly crash, no blue screen or anything it just goes off and it sounds like the fans on his PC just start ramping up. When looking online I saw this could be related to the power supply. I've asked him so far to plug...

My colleague can browse to an external firewall we have been granted access to using the IP. My colleague can browse to it with no issues, their computer is still joined to the onsite domain. My computer is Azure joined (we plan on having them all this way) but I can't connect to it. What would...

Hi Ralston The users are within a group so I can't compare the configuration of different users as it should be applying to them all equally if you get me? To do the force I went to the users machine that was already logged in and went to cmd and entered the command: gpupdate /force

I'm needing some help with Group policy. I have an OU named "Terminal server" in AD that holds all the users that work on a server. I have created a new network share for just Customer Service and I want to map this drive to them automatically, however they are within the "Terminal Server" OU...

Hi, This didn't seem to help. The PC now will just randomly freeze at stages and will not respond so I have to hold the power button down and turn it back on. I check reliability monitor and it just tells me there was a hardware issue.

I gave my father in law my old pc which I knew was working fine, I had no issues I just built a new system. I did a clean install of Windows before giving it to him and did the usual of windows updates, installed a new GPU driver etc. He's tried to play Football Manager 2021 and a few Command &...

I know the router is provided by Virgin and was only very recently installed but I will check it when i'm home. I will paste the ipconfig when I get onto the PC tonight As another update and for anyone else having the issue. When first turning on yesterday I completely uninstalled the network...

Hey thanks for the reply I tried your suggestions but still had no joy :( I also tried the network reset in the settings but that didn't do anything either. I'm thinking I may try roll back the windows update and see if that's what causing the issue. If you can remember, what did the other...

For the past couple of days, when I start up my computer, it just can't find a network connection at all, but if I reboot my PC it works like normal. It's more a nuisance but I want to know if it's a problem with the motherboard so I can take it back. I've tried a different cable in case that...

I'm about to build a new system and I'm not sure what power supply I should be going for. The hardware I'm going to be putting in is: Mobo- Asus rog strix z490-E gaming RAM - G Skill Trident 3200 24gb worth (got a broken stick >:( ) GPU - RTX 3080 CPU - i7 10700k I was thinking an 850 W Gold...

To update this. I swapped out one of the ram sticks for my friend's ram stick, which is the exact same model and it has booted with his stick and mine since and been fine. He tried my stick in his system and started getting trouble so, I think it was the stick. I'm not sure how to sick has gone...

yeah sure system is: mobo: Asus Prime b350-Plus Psu: Evga 650w gold psu Gpu: Rog strix nvidia gtx 1070ti Cpu: ryzen 7 1700 Memory: g.skill trident z ddr4 3200mhz I tried your suggestion of keeping the cmos battery out for 10 minutes, put it back in, wouldn’t boot with both ram again. Update...

I recently upgraded my RAM from 2x 4GB stick to 2x8GB sticks. I have only just noticed that the RAM was hardware reserved, it always said I had 16GB but browsing the task manager the other day I noticed that 8GB wasn't being used. Okay, I just remember the BIOS date being 2017 on it before I did...

Okay, I'll leave it out for longer and give it a try. Will the date go back to 2017? just as an indicator to see it has done it correctly. The hardware reserved RAM is fine now, I have my full 16GB but I did try your method and it didn't work that's why I someone told me to update the BIOS...

Thanks for the quick reply. I did it as 8gb of my RAM was stuck as hardware reserved and was recommended to update the bios. This worked but since then I've been having this issue. Do you recommend I keep the CMOS out longer? I contacted ASUS and they told me to do it for around 3-5 minutes. The...
