To give an update, I have tried using Start-up repair from the USB I had the windows 10 installation media on and it said it couldn't repair my pc. So I unplugged my two non-OS drives as I was preparing to do a reinstall of windows 10. But when I booted and went to the BIOS, partition one of my...

Hello, So windows isn't loading/starting, my computer is only booting to the BIOS. A few days ago I was watching a video while waiting for AVG Security to finish a deep scan when my PC froze. After a couple of seconds, I got the blue crash screen with the sad face and my PC rebooted. However...

Thanks for the help. :) I was able to do the upgrade.

Hey all, I wanted to update my win 7 pro to windows 10. But so far my attempts to update have all failed. I've never upgraded an OS before so I'm so I don't know what's going wrong, whether it's me or it's an issue with the computer. I first tried to update using the MediaCreationTool from...

Hello! I'm on BIOS version 4101. I believe that is the latest version available for Windows 7. Thought I should mention though, that after resetting my BIOS and creating an XMP profile, everything seems to be working fine for the last four days. So, not sure if maybe the bluescreen might have...

Hi! I ran the test you linked and everything passed. The test results are HERE. The computer's not dusty inside since I gave it a cleanout recently and my computer has plenty of ventilation so there shouldn't be any cooling issues. I used monitoring software and it said the CPU was running at...

Hey all, I started up my computer, it loaded to the desktop, and I left it sitting idle for around 15-20 minutes while I was trying to look up a separate issue with my computer on my phone when it suddenly restarted. I wasn't playing any games or running any programs, I just left it on the...

I put the CPU back into the motherboard but was still getting error code 00. I got out a spare motherboard that is the exact same as my current one, and have installed that. This motherboard is showing me error code b1 and the DRAM light is continuously on. So, I am assuming this means the old...

Hello everyone, and happy new year! (I hope I have put this in the right section. If not, I apologise) I came across this cable that is damaged/broken while doing some cable management inside my computer. It was connected to a cable from the PSU and to a fan hub (I that is what it's called, all...

Checked my CPU and it seems to be okay. No signs of any damage. However, I did notice that the motherboard has bent socket pins (I remember my brother mentioning he bent some when he built my PC but he never got around to sorting it out.) Could they be the cause of the problem, or maybe...

Thanks for the quick response! Just to clarify; when you say reseat you mean I have to take the CPU out of the motherboard and put it back in again?

Hey all, (A little history in case it is relevant to my problem) In late July my PSU died (my computer was cycling on and off every two seconds when I tried to turn it on) so I got a new PSU and installed it and replaced the old PSU cables with the newer cables. In early August my liquid cooler...

Hello! So, about a week ago the liquid CPU cooler leaked inside my computer leaked. When the cooler leaked, the computer turned itself on for about 20-30 seconds before I turned it off (I was in bed at the time and got startled awake by it turning on) although I didn't discover the leak until 2...
