@garioch7 This was tried many years ago (before the site switched from the original in house written software to the current Xenforo) It didn't last long as users would tend to fill the forms with random garbage, so the current requirement was put up and has served well, with a liberal...

In the interest of helping others with a similar issue please elaborate on what, exactly, you did to "fix it". Don't just walk off and leave people hanging.

1. There is no such "button" for that here. You must enter, then mark each forum individually. 2. All posts in this forum are automatically of the "discussion" variety. There are no vote up/down or best answers to be found in here. This does not apply to all of the forums (the discussion...

What part of "The drive is dead and unfixable by you" is not clear to you? And, do not start another thread covering the same issue, it will not survive for long (few minutes at most). Mechanical drives can be fine one moment and completely failed mere seconds later, that's what backups are...

Are you attempting to connect the printer before installing the driver/s? Almost all (if not all) USB printers require that the drivers be installed first and the printer remain in a disconnected state until you are prompted by the installation script to do so (and only then). If you fail to...

Kosh - "And so it begins"

Do not try to find a matching stick. Purchase a new 2xX kit (not two individual parts with the same part number, but two sticks packed together in the same package). The chances of ever finding a match for what's there are somewhere between 0 and none.

That loud sound is most definitely mechanical in nature. Sounds exactly like a fan bearing has failed and the fan needs to be replaced.

All's good, don't worry about it.

Did you reinstall Windows? That's mandatory when changing processors in that manner.

This calls for the government to cancel all contracts with Microsoft, immediately, and place at least a 15 year block on their bidding on any new government contracts. Back in my day it would be a permanent ban. There is absolutely no wiggle room when it comes to secure systems and projects.

Seems to me that running a heat gun or similar on the surface to flow it just a touch would alter things enough to make it completely untraceable. Either that or a quick pass with a piece of emery cloth to remove any surface marks. Or, for bulk manufacture, a quick pass through a bead blaster.

There's still a lot to be said for hand optimised machine language code.

That looks very much like an AI generated response. You NEVER copy everything in a profile to another computer. There many entries there that are system specific and guaranteed not to work elsewhere. Besides the fact that file permissions will not be correct, and there are many registry...

Be prepared, it's not an easy tool to use for most (entirely commandline driven) and can hose a system royally if not called with the proper flags.
