    Discussion What's your favourite video game you've been playing?

    Wolfenstien (2009, AbandonWare) and Descent 3 ( 1998, Steam ) I just can't get over how amazing they are for the years they were released in.

    Question I can't understand what a DISM.log file is saying about a problem I have ?

    regardless of what log says you can also type your PC specs and what exactly it is doing. I personally find that logs are 50/50 as usefulness.

    Question Windows OneDrive folder and file properties

    Ok, my standing suggestion is even if you use cloud or online back up, still have a SSD or Blue Ray physical back up of your most critical needed info and files. Never know when you may get locked out or not have a internet connection.

    Question Windows is stuck in a loading loop and locked out of account ?

    I am not sure how this works anymore, but if you have a windows 10//11 Operating system disk have you tried booting to that and seeing if any of those repair/recover options work? If that doesn't work anymore or you have no option to do so you probably just want to access the data from...

    Question New computer. Win 10 > Win 11

    There isn't any good reason to buy windows 11 Pro unless you really need the extra ( lololol) Security or a specific feature. have you tried reinstalling with just your version of windows 10 and do all the updates?

    Question Computer turns off whilst gaming ?

    Get your self a Digital multi meter and test the PSU without load first. if anything is more than 5% out of spec one way or another then you need new power supply. You can search youtube.com and google for digital multi meter testing guides.

    Question Windows OneDrive folder and file properties

    Did you check with one drive forums or google search? Alternatively I would click one drive help menu within it or the program. Are your trying to use this as a mirror install for another instance of that operating system? I guess I don't know what your goal is

    Question BSODs, and multiple apps are acting weird ?

    ya I guess we are just waiting on BSOD logs and crash logs. As well as Digital multimeter tests. If not already suggested can also try doing PC under load with one memory stick at a time.

    Question BSODs, and multiple apps are acting weird ?

    Sorry if you have already answered this but, did these issues start AFTER the BIOS flash or before? if its after than that image could have been corrupted and may want to try re-flash of a previous version. If issue occurred before BIOS flash my personnel recommendation is to get a digital...

    Question Upgraded MB, Windows not recognizing SSD for install

    If the motherboard or SSD did not come with any driver disk then what you can do is try a different SATA port on the motherboard and a different Sata cable. Might be a long shot of not detecting it at all for just faulty port/cable. otherwise may have to go to hard drive website and see if...

    What is your favourite movie of all time?

    If I HAD to pick I would say the Lion in Winter. Circa 1970 or before. so amusingly sad how human history is just on infinite rerun/replay.
