    Question PC randomly shuts down, even after swapping out almost every part ?

    This doesn't sound like a mains power supply issue. More likely GPU or motherboard.

    Question unexpected kernel mode trap looping

    How consistent is the error (is it the same type of BSOD each time?). The two dumps I looked at seemed to be the same. Consistent errors are more often software / driver bugs. Random stuff is more often bad hardware (e.g. RAM or CPU gone bad). Do you have good backups of your documents? If so...

    Question unexpected kernel mode trap looping

    Just to add the stack trace shows multiple file system filter drivers running. wcifs - Windows Container Isolation FS Filter Driver gameflt - Windows X-box gaming service bindflt - Windows Bind Filter Driver luafv - Microsoft Windows LUA file virtualization filter driver. LAU = Least-Authorized...

    Question unexpected kernel mode trap looping

    Crash dump showed this: UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP (7f) Arg1: 0000000000000008, EXCEPTION_DOUBLE_FAULT STACK_OVERFLOW: Stack Limit: ffffa70340df2000 So it seems your kernel ran out of stack space and faulted. The fault handling code then tried to push more data onto the stack which resulted in...

    Question Hi guys, can corporate computers have their there own bios. My friend bought a refurbished one and can't install windows on a new drive.

    In some cases deleting the partitions isn't enough to fix issues with the partition table format (which is what GPT / MBR is). In those cases zero the start of the drive to wipe the partition table entirely. Backup any important data first.

    Question Cannot solve DirectX problem

    You have a video card device driver crash (or lockup which is more or less the same thing). If you are seeing this with multiple games, then the most common reasons are device driver bugs or a bad video card. Borrow a video card from a friend and try it out for a day.

    Question Raid 0 Drive disappeared in Windows 10

    Not all RAID controller are compatible with each other. So you tripled your chance of data loss by using RAID stripping with three drives, then added a whole new single point of failure with the controller. So putting the disks into a different enclosure with a different RAID controller probably...

    Question Keyboard Types Multiple Letters on Random Single Presses

    Seems to be a common problem with the Logotech G810 Keyboard. Called key chatter. See, https://www.reddit.com/r/LogitechG/comments/cpsyjt/selective_repeating_keys_on_the_logitech_g810/

    Question PC powers on sometimes

    Could be motherboard or PSU. If you don't have any test equipment, then swapping out the PSU, then the motherboard is probably the best option.

    Question PC powers on sometimes

    Voltage levels might be marginal, or might be a power sequencing or ramp time issue. In the specs these are T1, T2, T2 & T6. Power-on Time (T1): The power-on time is defined as the time from when PS_ON# is pulled low to when the +12VDC, +5VDC, and +3.3VDC outputs are within the regulation...

    Question So i cannot figure out how to fix this

    If you have fibre and you believe 4G Data on the mobile network causes a problem, then why not use the fibre connection with ethernet. Or are you saying that is isn't 4G that is the problem and it is the PC itself (even with the 4G phone turned off and no Wifi nor Ethernet to router)? If you...

    Question So i cannot figure out how to fix this

    You'll probably need to provide some additional information before anyone can help. What type of internet connection do you have leading out of the house? What model router? How is your PC connected to the router (Wifi, Ethernet, etc..)? Did the internet (leading out of the house) really go...

    Question Bad CPU score in passmark

    Looking at the individual sub-test results in the PassMark CPU test can also be instructive. The Prime number and Physics tests are most sensitive to RAM speeds (they use the most RAM). So if just these two give abnormally low benchmarks, this is also a sign of RAM issues. Also the RAM...

    Question low gpu usage in valorant gtx 980ti

    Maybe your monitor refresh rate is 200Hz ? I kind of doubt there is much benefit to 300fps compared to 200fps unless you also have ultra low latency internet and a high frame rate monitor. The maths says about ~1ms reaction time advantage. (but monitor pixel transitions times are often around 5ms)
