Hi everyone! I’m struggling with a huge issue: I have Windows 10 installed on a 500GB SSD, and apparently I screwed something up while messing with partitions and switching hard drives around (among other things) while building a second rig from spare parts. The actual issue I’m facing is that...

My screen(s) randomly flicker or go black for up to 3 seconds at a time during "menial" tasks (like having YouTube open while browsing Reddit or opening Telegram or Google Docs). It's been doing this on ALL of my monitor setups, from when I used three 1600x1440 monitors, to when I switched to...

I had a 2TB HDD that fell from a shelf and needs to be replaced, as it no longer functions.. I'm going for an external 4TB Seagate Expansion HDD. Just curious about a few things... - Is this type of drive at risk of damage or any less efficient laying on its side rather than upright? - Any...

OKAY, so after downloading some 7 or 8 data recovery softwares and probably a number of viruses with them, I finally found a solution - albeit one limited to 1GB only; I found an old installer for an app called MiniTool POWER Data Recovery (version 6.6 I used) and was able to export 1GB worth of...

A micro SD card I was using in a device mysteriously came into some issue where the card appears to be blank, and I can't view or edit any files on the card when it's in a computer or anything UNLESS I'm using an application like "icare data recovery". Then I can actually see all of the files...

I know its been asked tons of times, but I just want to be clear and straight about it I have 3 monitors, 3 different manufacturers/models. 2 are 1600x900 and with nvidia surround I can get them to appear (reasonably) seamless. The 3rd is 1440x900, but I can't seem to find any method to get...

I was doing some various operations on Windows 10 and managed to accidentally bump the delete key while I had the "My Documents" folder selected, which then promptly deleted the folder and then created a new, empty one. All of my game saves were in that folder. I've tried restoring from the...

Titles says the most. I own a title on both Windows 10 and Xbox One, but I'm under the impression I can't just somehow 'transfer' the save to a flash drive or something and open it on a completely different system, can I?

I just bought my GTX 1050 and I'm loving the features so far. But I'm curious about Nvidia Surround: I have 2 monitors with different aspect ratios - one is 1600x900 (16:9), the other is 1440x900(8:5) When I try using Surround, it defaults to setting both screen to a res of 1440x900, which...

JESUS! I ended up physically uninstalling the whole 1394 card, unplugging the interface, booting, and then reinstalling and booting again. That was a grueling 2.5 hours I probably could have saved!

I don't get it!!! I'm using a FireWire audio interface for all of my sound needs, as I'm an amateur studio owner. I had to move my whole setup to a different room because I'm meeting a client tomorrow (today actually, <12hrs from now) so I did. Everything was fully powered off before I...
