    Question Created second windows installation on a different drive, now the first no longer works

    Kind of a hyper specific thing here. I built a new computer so I took my old work computer, and put a new faster SSD in it. I wanted to use that faster SSD as a main drive so I installed windows on that, but I kept the old installation of windows on the main drive so that I could boot from...

    Question Computer freezes randomly with no performance spikes/dips

    Found out what it was. I turned off "let apps run in the background" in my privacy settings and it fixed this (and just made my PC run better in general.)

Which means it may be an issue with windows/display settings and not...

    [SOLVED] Use PCs HDMI as an input?

    I can't think of a single piece of hardware, computer or otherwise where I've seen an HDMI port switch between an out and an in. Pretty sure they only go one way or the other. There ARE USB capture devices that can connect an HDMI to your computer. They're kinda targeted towards game capture...

    [SOLVED] Should I be worried about my Hard Drive?

    I just put my hard drive on 2 sort of intensive tasks at once and left it (importing a large video clip into sony vegas and uploading a large file to dropbox.) When I came back the thing sounded like a little lawnmower. I stopped uploading the file and it quieted down back to normal but it was...
