Okay thanks, I'll give that a shot... any idea which version to download for Memtest? Secondly, I'm not crazy experienced, so where would I find disabling the peripheral components? Thanks again!

My bad :$ So I installed Windows 10 Pro on my PC which has been having a few issues (it was purchased used, as-is). I've since replaced the broken HDD with a brand new SDD. The computer randomly will restart. I also installed Linux, and that won't boot at all after I fully installed it. I'm...

Yup! It's right off their website (I believe I followed your link). Made the Windows Install USB, got it easily installed on the new Kingston SDD, and Windows runs smoothly for the most part. The reboots are maybe every other day or so instead of every 2 minutes. As well, there were two unknown...

Thanks again for the reply! Turns out they had the Windows 10 Product key on the inside panel soooooo I got Windows 10 Pro working again :p As for the EDU license, my college no longer offers this unfortunately. I've tried the three places I got it before and always get "Windows 10 is no longer...

Basically, I've been trying to install Linux (Ubuntu?) on my Dell Precision T3600 desktop computer. I bought this used, and I was told there were issues but it was only $20 so I couldn't complain. Moving forward, I have swapped out the hard drive as that had lots of bad sectors and the pc...

Yeah it did. So I'm unsure if any colleges/universities near you/that you attended do this, but my college had a "clearance sale" where they got rid of old computers (there were some Mac's for $300, monitors for $5, and desktops for $15-20). This was done inside the college near the security...

Thanks again for the tips! So, the old hard drive has 60 bad sectors. I was in at my local computer shop and they said that was really bad. I was kind of figuring that too because the hard drive just never loaded (however Linux said it was Okay but again also had 60 bad sectors). So I ended up...

BIOS Boot List is set to UEFI, but there is nothing listed in the Boot Sequence :/ I can add or delete boot options, but that's pretty much it. Also, when I boot it, it comes up with "No bootable devices", but Linux can read a HDD with the partitions and everything? Any idea with this? Thanks...

Thanks for the tips and response! It's weird, the cable is somewhat loose, but I'm using a second similar cable and it still reads the hard drive. That being said, I was finally able to load Linux (Ubuntu?) using Rufus, and I can see my hard drive listed. It shows the following: Mode...

1. My college had a "clearance" sale, which essentially they were just giving away old desktop computers, Macs, and monitors (among other small things). With this, I didn't expect to get a brand new computer, so I'm in troubleshooting mode right now. 2. Essentially the computer came completely...
