The BIOS already says that the USB is the primary boot priority so I just exit but it still does not boot from the USB automatically.

I have recently begun to work from home which requires me to boot from a USB. To do this I have to boot into the BIOS and reboot every single time I want to boot from the USB despite the fact that in the BIOS it says that the USB is the primary boot disk. I thought this meant that so long as the...

I recently upgraded my motherboard but can't use the driver disc to install the drivers as I don't actually have an optical drive so I figured I would just download the drivers from the website. So I am trying to update the LAN drivers, specifically the Intel I225 Firmware Update Tool, I can...

I have now resolved this, it was indeed the motherboard. To test it out, I switched the GPU into the second PCIe slot, once I had done this and rebooted everything was perfect, no trace of any errors at all so I must have damaged the slot during my move. I decided to upgrade the motherboard...

So I switched mt PSU in from my old system, computer ran fine until I enabled the GPU. I then got the message "windows has stopped this device" with the code 43 in the device status window. I deactivated the GPU and did a clean reinstall of the drivers, as soon as I activated the GPU the...

So after trying changing the RAM speeds and getting no improvements I disabled the GPU and ran everything off the onboard graphics and everything runs perfectly. I tried a few reboots, playing music while opening applications and watching videos as well as playing some low requirement games and...

So I had 6 days with no issues at all, no freezes, no crashes, no loss of video input and no audio scrambling and then out of nowhere, it all started again yesterday. I dropped the RAM down to 2333mhz, the problems still happened, so I went lower to 1500, still problems so then I went as low as...

Never seen reliability history before, I have checked it and it seems to correlate with the times my system was unstable (since my fresh install anyway), and there seem to be a lot of critical events, mostly listed as Hardware errors. I have looked through them but I have no idea what I should...

So I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this due to not know exactly what the problem is, only that is is being reported as an Nvidia problem. Since Mid-March I have been having an issue where 9 out of 10 boots is unstable, and by unstable the signs are that the sound is completely...

Just tried that, nothing has changed.

I recently finished building my new PC and had a problem where it would not POST the conclusion was that it was the motherboard or CPU so I got a replacement motherboard and the PC booted fine, windows is installed everything looked good. I updated all the drivers and ran a benchmark test with...

I built a my new PC today and it won't boot, it won't even cycle the power. My Components are: Intel i7-8700k Noctua NH-D15 G.Skill - Trident 16GB 4000 GTX 1080 Ti Strix EVGA SuperNova 850w Gold Samsung 850 EVO 250gb SSD When the PSU is turned on there are lights on the motherboard and GPU. I...

So I loved my old keyboard and mouse combo, it was nothing fancy (Microsoft wireless media desktop 1000) but it was old and I had spilled a drink on it at some point so the F keys got stuck a lot so a few months back I decided to get a new one. Again, nothing special I got a Logitech MK270, the...
