    Question Monitor goes black at specific times (BSOD?) when gaming and adjusting settings

    Hi. I bought Ghost of Tsushima a few days ago and was messing around a bit with the graphics settings (putting many settings on very high). Out of nowhere when playing the screen went black and the little window in the middle of the screen telling me there's no input and monitor shutting off...

    Question I forgot my password to log into my account. Would this method work?

    forgot my password to login because the last time I logged into my old PC was 7 years ago. I never created a backup disk/CD either. I saw this video on YouTube and a lot of people were thanking him in the comment section but a few were also having trouble and were getting errors including one...

    Question Will data transfer speeds be slower if an external SSD is USB 3.2 gen 2 but my motherboard is USB 3.2 gen 1?

    O Then getting the MyBook will be the best option as I'll be able to do a full backup of both drives. I'll have to download Macrium Reflect free onto a flash drive from another computer so I can get it running as soon as possible. Is a full image backup the same size as a typical backup...

    Question Will data transfer speeds be slower if an external SSD is USB 3.2 gen 2 but my motherboard is USB 3.2 gen 1?

    I need a full backup of my PC in case the drives fail. Problem is I had a MyBook previously but lost the paper the password was on, even though I had it in my studio room but never touched it. The key on my PC is also mysteriously gone. But I can't get rid of what I have on there so I'm going to...

    Question Will data transfer speeds be slower if an external SSD is USB 3.2 gen 2 but my motherboard is USB 3.2 gen 1?

    Would it be best to then choose the MyBook? The plan is to do a full backup and I need the 8TB. But speed is the big problem when transferring data from the SSD to the MyBook. I'm thinking I should grab all the data I can first from the HDD, then grab all the important data from the SSD (OS...

    Question Will data transfer speeds be slower if an external SSD is USB 3.2 gen 2 but my motherboard is USB 3.2 gen 1?

    I guess I'll just have to go with it and just be patient. Problem is that I hear a low sounding shutter or mechanical switching sound coming from the HDD every few seconds. Happened after the electrical outlet started sparking with my PSU still switched on (PC off). I think we were discussing it...

    Question Will data transfer speeds be slower if an external SSD is USB 3.2 gen 2 but my motherboard is USB 3.2 gen 1?

    I'm looking for an external SSD backup drive for my OS drive (2 TB SSD nvme) and my 4TB WD black HDD. My motherboard is capable of USB 3.2 gen 1 but the external drive I need, the Samsung T7 Shield 4TB, Portable SSD, is USB 3.2 gen 2. Data caps at up to 1,050 mb/s. Will the transfer speeds be...

    Question Need help finding the fastest way to do a full backup of a HDD

    Noticed sparks coming out of the wall socket where my PC was plugged into so I had someone else help me swap it to another wall. However, I didn't think about the PSU switch still being on and this person jerked the cord in and out as electricity was visible each time. Right away I realized I...

    Question PC turned on and off from power cord coming out of bad wall outlet and optical drive seems to be making mechanical noises

    So I tried to push my power cord into the wall outlet and saw electrical sparks. Then the cord came out and I put it back in but sparks came out again so I quickly took it out, but the power switch wasn't turned off. After switching to another wall outlet, this time with my switch off, I turned...

    Question Is it okay to plug my surge protector, which my PC and other accesories connect to, into a thick extension cord?

    What about an outdoor 14 gauge cord? It's a thick rubber coated cord. Just any extension cord in general could cause an overload?

    Question Is it okay to plug my surge protector, which my PC and other accesories connect to, into a thick extension cord?

    My PC (with an RTX 3080 OC card) and four other cords drawing power to different things are plugged into a decent sized surge protector. The cord from the surge protector was plugged into an outlet on the opposite side of my room and when I tried to make sure it was plugged in all the way...
