When I attempt to open the Creative Cloud app, it seems to launch but never opens. I can see it running in Task Manager but it doesn't pop up on the toolbar or in the "hidden icons" menu. I've tried the following solutions: Closed the app through Task Manager. Re-opened as administrator...

I want to buy this PC I found on eBay to build a custom NAS. From my point of view, it has the bare minimum of what you need - 8gb RAM for FreeNas, 6 SATA connections on the MB (though two are only 3gb/s), 10/100/1000Mbps LAN speed, i3 processor (my understanding is that this is sufficient)...

I'm trying to build my own NAS for video editing. I won't be working with 4k footage - 2k at the most. The NAS will primarily be for archive but I want to have the option to edit off of it, if needed. I'm fairly certain that this will do the job but my biggest concern is the "networking" part...

SO, I fixed it. Evidently, there must be something running in the background on my computer that prevents the storage space from being created - I have absolutely no idea what it could be. However, I can create a storage space on another computer and when I reconnect it to mine, it retains the...

Hi all! I recently purchased this docking station and two 4TB hard drives for my PC. I want to put these drives into RAID 1 so I can create an additional back up for my editing footage (and have some redundancy, along with performance increase). I've set up a storage space in Windows 10 before...

I would like to keep everything below $500. As of now, I'm expecting to have 10TB or more of footage.

Hi all! My question is two-fold... 1: I'm trying to find the cheapest way to store my raw editing footage (I'm expecting to have 10TB of footage, give or take) in an external enclosure. It seems that RAID arrays are quite expensive and too complicated for what I'm looking to do. Can I use an...

Just to update this thread, I bought a new PSU that (according to PCPartPicker) has been used in at least 10 other systems with specs nearly identical to mine where it matters. However, after installing it in my system the problem still occurs. I called MSI and they instructed me to slipstream...

My new PC build keeps crashing. Some people have suggested it's the power supply that's causing the problem, mainly because it's multi-rail rather than single-rail. However, after looking it up online, many other suggest this is hardly a factor. It's also worth mentioning that the system I have...

My drive is internally connected, so unfortunately that is not the issue. I'm going to see if my windows 8 setup runs when I return home to hopefully pinpoint the issue... any other troubleshooting ideas other than that?

Upgraded to a new motherboard (MSI Z170A KRAIT GAMING 3X), CPU (i7 6700k), and GFX (Gigabyte GTX 1080) and now trying to install Windows 7 on my SSD (crucial Mx300 ) Unfortunately, whenever I try to boot the windows install dvd, it crashes after windows is loading files. This can be avoided by...
