    Question Spilled Water and Hard Drives Don't Work

    Yeah they were connected with the sata and other cable. Was trying to get into BIOS and wanted the HDDs connected in case I could suddenly get it to work. Just had it on the outside of the case. Not sure I'm understanding the USB dock. Sorry if my OP is unclear or I'm missing the point. The...

    Question Spilled Water and Hard Drives Don't Work

    The motherboard didn't get wet. I think. I hope. It's mounted vertically... I'll take a picture to give an idea. View: https://imgur.com/9jdjWay That's inside the case. View: https://imgur.com/z2qXPfB That's the top. Water came down from the top, went trough the fan vent area, dripped...

    Question Spilled Water and Hard Drives Don't Work

    I accidentally spilled water on my tower and now two of my hard drives don't show up in disk management. I've disconnected them and had them dry. Everything else seems to be working. I guess this is a multi-part question. First off, I can't get into my BIOS. I restart, spam delete and nothing...

    PCI-E Wireless Card Bluetooth Not Working

    I managed to fix it. Not sure what exactly did it, but it works now. I just ran through every single somewhat related issue resolution and one of them worked. But I did it all at once that I'm not sure which it was lol

    Can I transfer files to a new hard drive using my old PC?

    Great. And to be clear (because I always manage to screw up the simplest of things), it's basically plugging it in after the file transfer? Cables > Boot > Format > Transfer files Off > Unplug Cables (in new PC) > Boot > ...and there it should be? If not then do that simple volume stuff shown...

    Can I transfer files to a new hard drive using my old PC?

    Not sure if that made sense... So basically what I'm doing is building a PC and the parts are coming in slowly (what the hell, Amazon). To save time later this week when I finally have everything, what I would like to do is transfer my files now to my new HDD (which will be used in the new...

    Windows Installation on New HDD (ASUS)

    I want to (re)install Windows 7 to another HDD that I'm currently using for media. The primary HDD with the OS is on its last legs, so I guess I'm going to trash it. I managed to get the .ISO for my version of Windows as the computer didn't come with a CD (which, btw, was a pain because Windows...

    Build look-over before buying (1st time builder)

    ■~$1200 budget. Give or take a couple hundred, maybe. ■I have no intention of overclocking, nor SLI. ■I do a lot of video and photo editing, and also use my pc as my media center. Game a bit. More stuff like Football Manager or Cities rather than Witcher 3 or GTA V (although I have them all)...

    Black Screen Boot / Fail ctrl+alt+delete / Unresponsive Task Bar

    You know what, my brother took a look at it, did the exact same things I did disabling the start up stuff and services (thinking the problem had to be there if it works in safe mode and I already reset to factory settings) except he also unchecked the disabled services, and now it seems to be...

    Black Screen Boot / Fail ctrl+alt+delete / Unresponsive Task Bar

    Ran a memory diagnostics and it restarts via normal boot (where the pc is unusable for me) Seems to skip the screen where I can press f8 to go to safe mode. Ran it again and saw it with zero errors before the reset. Looked online to boot into safe mode immediately following memory diagnostics...

    Black Screen Boot / Fail ctrl+alt+delete / Unresponsive Task Bar

    So, I'm trying to fix this Lenovo IdeaPad V570 my parents have been using. Stock, runs Windows 7 x64, pretty much used almost exclusively for internet browsing + word processing. It's a few years old. Maybe a year older than that. It does run dual monitors to some ~20 inch Sharp led, I think...
