I've just checked 'Speccy' and it shows this information about my GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti Manufacturer NVIDIA Model GeForce GTX 980 Ti Device ID 10DE-17C8 Revision A2 Subvendor PNY (196E) Current Performance Level Level 0 Voltage 0.868 V...

I've removed and reseated the GPU about 4 times whilst trying to diagnose my blue screen issue. Just installed it again and same issue. I've also tried another GPU (exact same model GPU) and got the same result. I can't see the voltages for GPU in HWinfo. Here's a screenshot. Yep I just spent...

Now I'm back to the original issue I had before I decided to clean my PC... One of my GPU fans is spinning very fast/loud whilst the PC is idle. And the other 2 GPU fans aren't spinning at all. Do you have any idea why this could be happening? It's so loud, and it it has been fine before last...

Ok, I've pressed down on the CPU cooler and heard it click into place. Now it's snug and not wiggling. My PC has now been on for about 10 minutes without Blue Screening. It's running between 30-64°C on all 4 cores. I am typing this reply to you from my PC rather than from my work laptop, which...

3.363v 5.070v 12.168v Those are the values for +3.3, +5, and +12v. I've just wiggled my CPU cooler and by golly you might have saved me. It's quite loose. The CPU fan is spinning though. I'm guessing I need to just re-secure the CPU cooler? What are those voltages telling you? Do you think I...

Hi Jay, My PC specs are in my signature below my reply. My CPU is not overclocked or anything, the whole system is running standard as they come out of the box. My PSU is XFX TS 550W which is known to be a very good, reliable, well-built PSU back in the day when I built this. Just checked...

Hi All, Tl;DR; I hoovered out my PC case without any anti-static protection or anything, HOWEVER, my PC was acting very slow and strange BEFORE I even did anything, and possibly would have bluescreened if I'd just waited a bit longer. Instead, I shutdown fairly quickly and decided to clean it...

Just double-checked that, and it's set to Use Languages List (Recommended). Languages list has got English (UK) as Number 1 in the list, and English (US) as number 2. I've removed English US just to be safe but it didn't fix the problem. What I don't understand is: I haven't touched any of...

Hi all. This is a weird one. Some of the keys on my keyboard have changed. Let me just say firstly that I have checked my Windows 10 Language and Keyboard settings. It's set to English (United Kingdom) which is where I am, and is what it should be set to. Now for the details: (this is a...

Hi Vayne, I think if your CPU is running at a temp of 80C you don't need to be too concerned. As long as it's doing something. (if it's idling at 80C, or web-browsing, come back to us). I've just checked the intel specifications of the i7-7700 and (as with all intel CPUs, I believe) they state...

It's just as a fall-back plan in case of machine failure. We can't afford to have any downtime, so I want to have up-to-date Master images of every machine, so if a machine fails we can just grab a spare, plug it in, and deploy the image of the failed machine onto it.

To be honest, for right now, it's not a big issue. I started taking a master image this morning before making this post. The problem arises in the fact that I need to regularly take new images from lots of machines (around 100). They are machines within Simulators, all spread across various...

Annoyingly we're already using Acronis Snap Deploy 5 and paid for licences. I've only just joined this company so I've not settled enough to suggest to my manager that he changes the software he uses and buys something different. Otherwise I would :)

I'm using the Fully licenced version of ASD 5. I did google my issue before making this post, and came across the page you've quoted from already. but I don't see any kind of 'options', 'preferences' or 'settings' buttons on the GUI to select a different type of image backup. Probably because...

Hi all, The title really says it all. I have Acronis Snap Deploy 5 and I've got a master image of a machine, however I now want to take an incremental backup, or a 'refresh' of the image. I don't want to have to take another master image of the machine if it can be avoided. I'm really new to...
