I to have slow boot in windows 11. Takes about 3 minutes to boot and like yourself i cant track it down. If i boot via safe mode the system boots in less than 20 seconds.

I'm looking to build myself a new PC soon but I want a new case that's a full tower and has space for a DVD writer. Can anyone help me track one down, I don't wanna pay over the odds for one either. Thanks in advance people.

Is Auto Negotiation always the best setting for Ethernet and Internet? I'm running an Intel I-225V 2.5GB Ethernet Card, Virgin Media Super hub 5 in Modem Mode Connected to its 2.5GB Port and 1GB Internet, TP Link AX6000 Router which has a 2.5GB Internet Port and all the Ethernet Cables are Cat 7.

Thanks it worked a treat.

I know that 1000watt will be ample for the spec I will be building him, I just needed a recommendation on what PSU to use. Thanks anyway.

I have a Seagate Expansion External hard drive and wish to change the generic icon that it displays in Explorer. I have tried the registry hack to do this and still it displays the generic icon. Anyone know how I can do this? thanks.

Is it any reason ur using ASUS stuff so much? The way ASUS have treated their customers in the AMD AM5 fiasco id be embarrassed to go near any of their products whatever they are. They r a scumbag of a company.

Thanks.

Just a quick question, does this PSU support older graphic cards to as I'm gonna be using a Geforce 1080 till I can afford a 4080 upgrade. Thanks.

I was looking at the 7900X or 7900X3D.

Can someone answer what the main differences are between the 3D and non 3D versions of these CPUs. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm gonna be building a friend a new system shortly and its gonna be relatively power hungry with what he wants in there. He has asked for a PSU of 1000 watts and it needs to support PCI-E 5.0. Can anyone recommend any please for a half decent price in the UK. Thanks.

I'm staying well clear of ASUS this time around.

Thanks, I will opt for the same ram then.
