    Question Boot Loop. Can't access safe mode.

    I use Driver Easy to tell me what needs to be updated and where to download the drivers, but I update them manually myself, and I take as much care as possible to follow each step correctly. And yeah, every single driver that the program points out, including motherboard, chipset, all that. I...

    Question Boot Loop. Can't access safe mode.

    Sorry about the language, you're right. I'm just boiling with anger right now, this is outrageous. I disabled the updates because they always resulted in a boot loop. I update all my drivers regularly, so i'd be surprised if that was the problem. System: perfectly stock Dell Inspiron 5680. No...

    Question Boot Loop. Can't access safe mode.

    Three times over the past six months. Windows 10. The previous two times I had to reinstall Windows via SupportAssist OS Recovery. Each time I disabled the windows update service, but for whatever reason, the service would come back on as manual (triggered) and eventually Windows would attempt...

    Question Boot Loop. Can't access safe mode.

    If consumers had real rights in the tech industry I would sue the ass cheeks off Microsoft for fraud and faulty products. Third time this has happened- stuck in a boot loop. The only keys that ever do anything are F2 Setup, and F12 Boot Options. Neither of them allow me to use safe mode. Is...

    Question Bought a new hard drive, but opened my computer to find there's only 1 SATA power cable.

    I haven't opened my computer yet since I posted this (it's a hassle to clear off my very-cluttered desk, heft it onto the ground and back up, etc), but like I said, the SATA data cables are fine, I've got three of them, but the cable plugged into the original drive's power slot was a blue cable...

    Question Bought a new hard drive, but opened my computer to find there's only 1 SATA power cable.

    I've just about used up all the space on my hard drive, so I figured I'd buy another and have two (I already have an external hard drive that I use for backing up files). I got the hard drive a day ago, and today when I opened the case to my computer, I quickly found the SATA connection cables...

    Question Teredo keeps going offline, how do I keep my sanity and fix it at the same time?

    I had never played any games that used Xbox Live services until playing Forza Horizon 4, so I don't know if it was ever working before then. This is the first time I've had to interact with Teredo. I tried the fixes in the Driver Easy guide. IP Helper was already set to automatic and is...

    Question Teredo keeps going offline, how do I keep my sanity and fix it at the same time?

    Teredo is from hell. When it's working, in the command prompt its state looks fine: netsh interface teredo>show state Teredo Parameters --------------------------------------------- Type : client Server Name : win1710.ipv6.microsoft.com. Client Refresh Interval...

    What is a good PSU to go along with a GTX 960 SSC

    That's right, it's me again. I finally decided it'll actually be easier just to upgrade my power system..and safer. I know *nothing* about what makes a power supply unit a good one; I know amperage/wattage are vital, but now how or why. Could anyone recommend me a PSU that has the qualities to...
