    [SOLVED] Trying to max out my Dell Latitude E6440

    Cool! This is what I was hoping for. I've never had any issues typing, so I guess that must have been bad luck on your part - or maybe you're an amazingly fast typist and the hardware couldn't keep up. :D So potentially another CPU may fit? Is it possible to replace the entire mainboard? At the...

    [SOLVED] Trying to max out my Dell Latitude E6440

    I will do this tonight when I'm done using the pc. But what do you mean, what's wrong with it? It's working fine, but it's only a matter of time before Windows 7 will have compatibility issues, I assumed.

    [SOLVED] Trying to max out my Dell Latitude E6440

    Years ago I was given this model laptop by my employer. Both I and my wife are deeply in love with its keyboard. It's a joy to type on and literally the only laptop keyboard I have ever managed to use comfortably and even type without looking at the keys. This is why I would like to know from...

    Question PC died after sounding long beeps ?

    @Lutfij Actually... I think I need to retract this whole thing. Turns out I was just too weak. Didn't push the RAM sticks in hard enough - now it boots normally. Still doesn't explain why it crashed in the first place, though, but I have a feeling it may have been heat. I also noticed that my...

    Question PC died after sounding long beeps ?

    Sorry about that! I can't run speccy or anything and I don't remember what config I built this with, but I will do my best: CPU: AMD Phenom X6 1090T (I think, not 100% sure, but it's definitely an AMD Phenom six core and I'm 99% sure it's 3.2Ghz) Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3 RAM: 4x 8GB...

    Question PC died after sounding long beeps ?

    My PC just died on me. Before it did, I crashed once following two long beeps, but came back afterwards. It did this 2-3 times, a couple of hours apart. But now it wont boot at all anymore - when I turn it on, it sounds three long beeps, followed by a pause that's a little longer than the ones...

    The Brave browser doesn't, to name one example.

    [SOLVED] Windows 10 sneakily updating at night deleting all my work

    I'm fairly sure that that icon was only there for a maximum of 2-3 days before it forced the reboot

    [SOLVED] Windows 10 sneakily updating at night deleting all my work

    Ah, okay. Thank you anyways, I remember an orange dot in the task bar tray the day before it rebooted last.

    Do you have a screen shot? I don't see that orange dot.

    This is turned off on my machine, weird that the reboots still happen.

    [SOLVED] Windows 10 sneakily updating at night deleting all my work

    The why is completely irrelevant. I asked a purely technical question and all I get is life advice. I am also overweight. Wanna give me nutritional advice, too? I know my way of using my PC is dysfunctional, but I really didn't ask for advice on that. I don't want my PC to reboot without my...

    [SOLVED] Windows 10 sneakily updating at night deleting all my work

    Hey guys, I just want to emphasise again, that I appreciate your responses. Okay, if you think there is no solution, that's fine. I have posted a link to another site that offers four different pathways to what I want, I was hoping someone could let me know which if these is the most reasonable...

    [SOLVED] Windows 10 sneakily updating at night deleting all my work

    I'm sorry, it's just that I thought I had a relatively straight-forward question, but instead of an answer, I got suggestions on why I shouldn't ask my question in the first place. I appreciate your concern, but the 35-days solution just doesn't work for me. I know myself. I will forget and on...
