OS: W10 LTSC I have a Seagate SRD0NF1 4TB HDD i use mostly for storage purposes that stopped working some weeks ago, i just realized it because i have multiple external HDDs so i thought it was simply not connected. The issue is, while the HDD light does not turn on nor appears on the disk...

Thank you for answer. Is there a way i can check if this is what is happening? It is true i was running some intensive applications previous to the 100% jump, but it kept at 100% even after the aforementioned application completed it's work. Even when idle it's the only HDD that shows some...

Some system relevant information: OS: Windows 10 CPU: I3 10105f GPU: 3060rtx 12gb F: HDD: 4TB I have a weird issue that started this week. One of my HDDs suddenly goes at 100% usage even when i am not using it. If i am running something from my primary unit (SSD), the HDD will suddenly jump...

Tried it and didn't work, plus it says in it's website that it removes files. How do i uninstall this? It's not in the control panel install/uninstall programs list. It's not in the start menu, like any normal software would be. In the C: drive folder of the software there are plenty of...

My microsoft defender is going crazy with this virus: Apparently, it self-replicates infecting other files and has affected plenty of my files, from work files to game files to even basic software like C++ redistributables. Due to the nature of the files infected i must get rid of it without...

I am thinking of buying a UPS to protect my PC from sudden power surges and more importantly prevent any data loss/corruption as a result of a power outage, since they provide 10-20 minutes of energy when there is a power outage, more than enough to save all my files and shutdown PC. However, i...

I was trying to move it and it said it was a virus. The installer was downloaded from mozilla site and it was seconds before moving it.

I am somewhat new to windows 10. I normally know better than fall for obvious scams and phishing, but i use software like deep freeze because: I can mess with software settings (like photoshop) …knowing that restart PC will clear them to how I had them. I can Install many software from...

Isn't alcohol flammable, and PC parts get...hot? Never tried it but seems like a recipe for a fire to me.

Apologies if this isn't the correct subforum, but cleaning is an important aspect of owning a PC often overlooked, so i am posting this under PC components. I am looking for an electric air duster for PC. Something like these: The problem is that there are hundreds of brands and it's...

I see, thank both for your answers. I guess i am going to buy 2 x 8gb, as it is unlikely i'll need more than 16gb. Any recommended brand? All RAM i find on amazon have people saying they are defective, don't pass module tests and the like. An additional question: is pcpartpicker.com...

I read this sticky thread and now i am wondering how to properly choose a ram. To be honest, i thought memory was the easiest, no-brain part to upgrade. "Just pick the correct DDR, put it in the motherboard and done!" basically, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It seems the correct brand...

Thank you everyone for your replies! I forgot to ask, i do not live in the US, so electric outlets have a 240V here, compared to USA outlets that have 120V. How can i check if the PSU will resist that or if will need a transformer? Among the ones you all suggested, i chose this one...

Thank both for your answers. Oh so the color does matter, thanks for the suggestion. I see, might i ask, what makes them so different than other PSUs that are also in that price range too? Like these. What do they miss, if they are in the same price range? I tried to read again the tier...

I am making a budget PC build on pcpartpicker, link here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bBnXK3 It suits my needs quite nicely (from what i researched) but i am quite concerned about PSUs. From what i have read a bad PSU could really screw my build (causing freezes, errors, etc) plus a...
