    Headset issue Windows 10

    Have you tried the headset on another PC? I think you need to isolate that the headset has gone faulty. It should be a process of ellimination . Headset OK on another PC?Yes then External Speakers work? Yes then sound card or onboard audio OK. Then must be USB issue. cheers

    Upgrading to Windows 10

    As long as you have not changed your motherboard you can follow SkyNetRising's advice, just be sure you download the same version you had before. My understanding is that the MS servers will look for your hardware ID when it comes time to activate the newly installed copy of Win 10 and will...

    External hard drive not showing files

    Hi RafikiJackson, I have just gone thru a similar saga with a 2Tb Seagate external. Had to jump thru many many hoops when dealing with Seagate support and the general flavour was to blame everything but the drive. Ultimately I managed to proof that the drive had gone faulty and have sent it to...

    Dual boot windows 10 and redhat 7

    Hey jayapaulr, Found a solution yet? I triple boot my PC with two system on one SSD and one on a second SSD. I use EasyBCD 2.3 Community Edition from Neosmart Tech. I found this excellent, Free (from memory) and it works fine with both Windows and Linux OSs. I run Zorin and haven't had any...

    So i wanted to upgrade my 32bit windows 10 to 64bit. But I kinda failed, and ended up with the same 32bit system. I need 64-bi

    Hi I can only guess as what went wrong. If you are sure your system will support 64bit, I suggest you follow this path. Go to http://www.thewindowsclub.com/windows-10-media-creation-tool-create-installation-media-upgrade Follow the steps carefully and make sure you select the 64bit architecture...

    I have a question relating to OS transfers.

    Man I find this irritating. What part of 'transferring an OS' can possibly be interpreted as 'installing a new OS' ? If this is advice from a genuine moderator I am out of here. otu Vuragado.

    Win 10 Home hangs when reaching desktop for about 4 mins, then fully functional.

    Hi Guys, Thanks for taking the time to answer, but all of what you suggest has been done. See rather long start of this thread. I restate my main info request: Is there a file or something like a registry hive that can be checked and edited which drives the loading of the driver files as...

    What drivers do I need

    Had a quick look and from past experience Windows should pickup most stuff during install. But you may need the LAN driver etc to get your internet connection so I would get those on a usb stick before you install windows. Assuming you've got usb. The link I looked at below and the files I am...

    I have a question relating to OS transfers.

    Hi Vuragado Have a look at Advanced SystemCare from IOBit. In the toolbox within this system app there is a utility called PCtransfer, for transfering data between drives. Another option maybe is to download Macrium Free edition., do a full image backup of your HDD and replace it with the SSD...

    Why does my pc stutter?

    Hi Jamesthegreat, Going by the specs of your system you should have plenty of grunt, however hows your bandwidth to the net? Have you 'tidied up' windows so that update and the like don't kick in in the background while your trying to game play. And any other processes for that matter. Until...

    Sound cuts out when in game and call

    Hi Liliumcat, I feel for you as I am having related issues. A bit of a minefield I think, but many questions come to mind. What is the way you connect headset, how is your PC connected to the web, have you checked the WIN10 settings somewhere in controlpanel sound settings as it has a control...

    So i wanted to upgrade my 32bit windows 10 to 64bit. But I kinda failed, and ended up with the same 32bit system. I need 64-bi

    Hi Ezzeddin A bit thin on info I am affraid. I can can only guess your PC may not be 64 bit capable, that's why you ended up back with 32 bit as Windows won't install 64bit if not supported. As for guide to installing 64bit just Google for info, plenty out there. You can also Google for "Speccy"...

    What drivers do I need

    Hi Benxive, If you bought the Mobo new there should be a CD with all the drivers you need with it. If not goto the suggestion that MarkW gave you. The contents of the original CD should be available from the Asus support site. All other drivers should have been installed by Windows, but you can...
