Ther are many options yes. I have, in this last 7-8 months, installed 11+ NVRs and 100+ cameras at 9 different locations. The NVRs we use have a 16 port POE switch integrated into them. Hardest part is cable management. There is one ethernet cable from the NVR to each and every camera. They are...

As a part of my KISS (keep it stupid simple) rule, once the good drive is removed from the system, whether disconnected or disabled in BIOS. First to try would be the "Repair My Computer" option available when booted from Windows install media. If that doesn't work, the next option would be to...

What makes you suspect it is power issue? To follow @CountMike's question, are you seeing issues with other electrical items in your room or other parts of your abode? If you are getting random blue screens and restarts, it could be caused by many different issues from software to hardware to...

Usually the Power light uses the different colors as messages, Orange likely indicates a faulty Power Supply. Power supply testers are cheaper than new power supply. This is an example of a very cheap tester, if you can find one locally would best option. As you can see by the images, a typical...

What has likely happened, is that your D: drive has become dependent upon the boot files and system files in the boot folder. But if the fresh Windows version has "Fast Startup" enabled, then it is locking the partitions on your C: drive. This is just a guess, but "Fast Startup" is enabled by...
