I have been trying to update Windows 7 Home Premium x64 but after several hours it remains 'Checking for updates...' I have uninstalled all virus protection software I have tried turning automatic updates off, rebooting then back on. I have tried disabling non Microsoft services and startups I...

I upgraded a Vista PC to Win7 with no problem. Next day I powered up and the profile records were corrupted; I booted safe using inbuilt Administrator but could not get into Control Panel - presumably the same corruption. Fortunately I had just taken an image of the Vista disk so I restored...

That's it - many thanks.

I connected a laptop with freshly installed and updated Windows 10 Home x64 (with Device manager not showing any problems) to a SONY STRDN850 AV RECEIVER with a 1.5m HDMI cable and attached speakers and projector (via HDMI) to the receiver. I then had the laptop play music using Windows Media...

I am trying to figure out what caused a Windows 7 PC to fail to display anything yesterday. It displays perfectly now but I am anxious to prevent the problem reoccurring. The only issue I have found is that using HWmonitor the voltages appear way under par. I think this could cause the...

I am proposing to install Microsoft Windows 8.1 64 Bit English OEM DVD - WN7-00614 on a PC that's currently running Vista 32bit with Microsoft - Office Professional Plus 2010 installed. As this has to be a clean install I am concerned that when I reinstall Office, activation will fail as it is...

Another SFC and reboot and the problem is sorted. Thanks.

On a Windows Vista Home Basic PC I am able to get an internet connection using Ethernet cable, but the internal Atheros AR5007 NIC will only connect locally and it keeps defaulting back to Unidentified Public network. No problems shown in Device manager. I have reinstalled Windows from...

I retained the case. After replacing all other components I found the problem went away. So I am sure that the case was not responsible :-) I reckon the CPU was bad as well as the majority of other components and I can only assume the PSU was responsible despite being fed a cleaned up supply...

Thanks for the prompt reply. Perhaps there is a USB3 socket plate that can fit in the redundant floppy slot on the front of the PC. I'm sure most cases are different so this is probably hard to find in a size that fits. Another possibility to enable front connection would be a USB3 external...

If I get a USB3 expansion card and connect it to a PCS-e slot on the mobo would I then be able to connect the wires from the USB2 sockets on the front of the case to a header socket on the expansion card ? Would it work at all ? At USB3 speeds ?
