Update to this: BitDefender and Sonoma were conflicting which caused the crashing. Fortunately, a patch was released which resolved the issue.

Hello! I‘m going to build a new system to replace an old prebuilt I have (nothing will be moving over). What are your thoughts on the below? Here are the parts I’m thinking of: https://newegg.io/695afa0 One thing I will need is a good WiFi adapter since I don’t have a wired network in my...

Is the VM joined to Active Directory or Azure AD? If so, you probably have an option to choose other user from the login screen. How did you create the accounts? If the accounts are local accounts, you will need to click on other user then enter a .\ before the username to login - if it is...

Sorry, I missed that… Try using the MSI drive update tool: https://www.msi.com/blog/auto-install-your-driver-software-with-msi-driver-utility-installer-udi Intel also has a driver update tool: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html

Is your system a custom built or a pre-built (made by Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc)? If you built it, list out the full specifications. Otherwise, provide the brand and model. Typically speakers like this are plug and play, meaning you are missing the audio drivers for your computer - hence why I’m...

Is this a company owned device? If so, why did the unaware user buy it? If not, why did Windows 10 need to be installed? I’m just asking because if you have a Windows 10 policy, it seems like a device procurement policy would also be in place. Windows 11 is essentially the same as Windows 10...

I don’t think you understand how Remote Desktop functions. First of all, you have to enable it on the gaming computer to be able to connect to it from the remote location. To enable it, you have to toggle on the setting on the computer that you’ll be running games on. Note that you must have...

Did use DDU to completely remove the display driver and install the correct 4070 driver?

If it stops at three beeps, it’s likely a RAM issue. This could mean you simply need to replace the RAM or the entire motherboard could have failed. Before messing with hardware, try to reset the NVRAM and SMC. You can find plenty of articles on how to do this online. If that fails, I’d try...

After less than a minute of searching, Google reveals…

Hey everyone. Just wanted to start a thread to see if anyone else is having issues with macOS Sonoma. I work for a MSP and we’ve confirmed 6/25 users who have updated have applications freeze up and shortly after the system crashes to a black screen. In one instance, the crash simply froze the...

What are the models of both the older RAM and new RAM? Also, how old is the system? Typically the power supply is the first thing to go on an old machine. Is there a large amount of dust buildup in the case and on components?

Did you use the Command-R combination to get where you could reinstall macOS? If so, you should try doing the same with Command-Option-R or Shift-Command-Option-R instead. I literally ran into the same issue on an older MacBook Air and adding Option (or Shift on a regular keyboard) resolved...

How old is the monitor? I’ve had similar issues with older ones before. Easiest first step is to update drivers from the manufacturer(s). If this hasn’t been done in a while, there is probably a new graphics driver. Is your system custom built, a laptop, or a desktop from a certain...

That is a self-assigned IP address that does not allow communication with the actual internet. Obviously the network is having issues assigning IP addresses from the DHCP range or it’s intentional. See this thread for an explanation of why you got a 169.x.x.x addresses. At a hotel, they’re most...
