Can anyone shed any light on this at all?

I do, where do I put those details to determine the age? Thank you

Well the seller's feedback was all good, I've no reason to believe I've been done over at this point. No idea how old it is exactly, is there a way to check with the s/n? By virtually new, I'm just refering to the condition. Probably a bad choice of words. Temps wise I'm getting between 60-70c...

Hi all, need some help before I rip my hair out. I got a used 1080 Strix on eBay a few weeks ago, it's virtually new but been having some trouble with crashes every few days and struggling to diagnose the problem. It happens randomly, whether gaming or idle. Can't seem to duplicate it. I also...

This worked for me. I'm now running 1803 after around 6 months of Windows mind games! https://jukkakohtala.blogspot.com/2018/08/windows-1709-upgrade-to-windows-1803.html?showComment=1539251032844#c3776308964111360298

Just an update - I found a solution! Whist scouring the net for even more obscure "fixes", I found this recent blog post that goes a little in to detail as to why this particular update wasn't working. I am so grateful I found it. If this didn't work I was about to do a clean install. So anyone...

Thank you both for responding. I have tried what you suggested around a month ago, Karadjgne. Forgot to list that one! However, that gave the exact same result. Windows is still trying to download and install 1803. The version in the Upgrade Assistant is also 1803. Is there anywhere I could...

Hi, did you get anywhere with this? I'm having a very similar problem. I've tried every "fix" listed online that I can find.

Hello all. I have been having an absolute nightmare with this "Feature update to Windows 10, version 1803", for months and months now. Summary: the update downloads and installs itself, then prompts me to restart so that the update can go ahead. Computer restarts multiple times. On the...

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi getochkn, GPU = ASUS GeForce GTX970. I do get the BIOS screens on my monitor. It seems to cut out at the point the splash screen would appear. I just tried Ubuntu and it is outputting to the TV through HDMI which makes no sense to me? Thanks for your response.

Hello all, I started experimenting with operating systems in the last few days. Bit of a newbie with all of this so please bear with me. So far, I've tried RemixOS (Android) and Ubuntu 15.1 (Linux), both on bootable USB 3.0 and on a HDD partition. No problems creating the USB/partition etc...

Hi all, So I've just tried grabbing some data from my wife's failing laptop HDD. Seemed to go well and I got what I needed. So I shut down and unplug the HDD. When the computer restarts, it boots into a "temporary Windows profile" and my start-menu is completely stock. Plus, tons of apps are...

I realised what was happening. When I was changing to AHCI mode in the BIOS, it was defaulting my boot drive to my old HDD for some reason, so it was never able to actually boot. I had to go into BIOS twice and change each setting independently. After that, the drivers installed and all working...
