I am on Windows 11 24H2 It appeared to probably be the USB (it had been failing to display its Used/Available Storage in File Explorer but reported itself to be fine and reported its storage capacity in Device Manager and Task Manager) I plugged it into one of my spare PCs and it showed the...

I have a Alienware M17 R1 (about 6/7 years now) and recently it started to be very slow on things like: - Restarts/Reboots - Start-up from shutdown/restart/similar I assumed it might be trying to (for some reason - I honestly dont know... far fetched but can't really think of anything else...)...

In the case of a motherboard with a single Ethernet Port could that port be split in without using a Proxy? After all its basically: (For a Game server, Minecraft as the example) - Make PC IPV4 address visible on (typically port number: 25565 or 25566) - with some form of authentication ofcourse...

Etc... basically just any other game I could've listed but the list would've gone on too long. Would I be better still going for the 4TB SATA SSD then and potentially expanding out further storage to an External drive rack (like the Sabrent 10 Bay Rack). [My laptop has a Thunderbolt 3 Port I'd...

I'm looking to upgrade my laptop internal storage capacity however whilst I do already plan to get a 4TB SSD ( Fanxiang S880 ) to replace my current 1TB SSD I am also considering upgrading my SATA Capacity at the same time. I could go for a 4TB SATA SSD for around £220ish or for the same price...

My bad - PC Link

In short... I am looking to get a PC for a friend however I intend to get them a decent PC. (With a GPU/iGPU better than a UHD 630). I came across This PC on Amazon however I do not know to trust it or nah...? The lack of reviews and build "style" kinda makes me not trust it buuut... aside from...

My PC recently had an issue where it wouldn't boot up properly where itd just boot to a grey screen and get stuck with the "Not Responding" wheel. I did a full scan using Dells pre-boot diagnostics (scanning the CPU, Memory + Extra Memory tests, Disks and Screen), sfc scannow and dism /online...

Essentially the higher the resolution/quality settings you use on games, programs, software, etc... generally more VRAM will be used. GPUs also tend to follow a similar trend with lower end GPUs (using the RTX 30series as an example here) generally having less Vram: (using desktop variants...

(Nvm its back after some painfully confusing diagnosing buuuut my recommendation - dont update to this driver unless ya want ya monitor to look like its permanently covered in fog... - if ya use "HDR" that is)

In short I updated my iGPU (UHD630) however it made my display strangely very grey and dim so I rolled it back in Device Manager -> Properties which more or less temporarily "worked" After restarting my PC UHD630 no longer showed in Task/Device Manager and instead showed as "Microsoft Basic...

Are there brands that allow for more modularity? I do know of the Framework Laptops (although from what I last saw they tended to be on the slightly pricier side) however are all brands pretty locked to only allowing certain things to be tweaked/upgraded/etc... or are some brands (like Asus...

NOTE: The above is my current plan as I am not 100% on: - Swapping to a CPU with a higher core count - If my motherboard will actually "allow" for this? (Alienware 03R2RY - i7 8750H, 2070MQ) As of recent I've noticed the thermals across the CPU (using HwInfo) is "unstable" (there can be as much...

In short I've consistently had an issue where the more I use my PC (with 32GBs) it will slowly use more memory (until overall usage gets to around 97%/98% memory usage) and if I end a process it will take the memory that process was using. Dwm (Desktop Window Manager) for some reason likes to...
