    Question (MSI B450/Win10) Unable to Boot Unless Drive Selected Manually

    Setting the boot order with my SSD first or my SSD last makes absolutely no difference for me. No matter what, I gotta enter boot setup. I did not force it. I only discovered it was in legacy after having this issue and diving deeper and noticing it was in CSM/Legacy mode.

    Question (MSI B450/Win10) Unable to Boot Unless Drive Selected Manually

    I built a new PC recently and did a clean install of Windows 10 and now my PC is unable to boot into the drive I installed Win10 in. For example, if started from a cold state it will just show me a blank screen. I have to press F11 to enter boot setup and manually select the drive to boot into...

    [SOLVED] Touchpad and Fingerprint Sensor Not Working (ASUS/Win10)

    Fixed the issue myself. Device Manager was telling me a bunch of Intel IO Host Controllers had errors too and I never saw that before. Double-clicked on them, went to "Drivers" and clicked the "Roll Back Driver" option on them. Soon as I did it for all, touchpad and fingerprint sensor came back...

    [SOLVED] Touchpad and Fingerprint Sensor Not Working (ASUS/Win10)

    I have an ASUS UX331U(a?) and its touchpad and fingerprint sensor simply stopped working at the same time. I have absolutely no idea what is wrong with the touchpad and my computer pretends it doesn't exist at all. There is no option of a touchpad in Windows Settings and under Device Managers no...

    [SOLVED] Multiple Internet Browsers Not Working

    I accidently shut off my PC while I was using Chrome and now it just won't work. Originally it just froze when you opened an incognito tab, then it progressively got worse until it froze on startup. Uninstalled it with IObit and Revo and reinstalled it twice, now I can't even sign in since it...

    Where does this go? (LED Strip)

    Just bought a new PSU to replace my old one and I notice none of the LED Strips work. So I went back and discovered a cable with no connector, I'm pretty sure this is the one causing the issue but there are only two connectors and yet three cables and swapping one out doesn't do anything. They...

    Is something wrong with my hard drive?

    I've noticed in Speccy, under storage, my SMART status says "Warning". It doesn't exactly explain what is "warning" or what is wrong and the status of all the attributes says "Good". So I was wondering if someone could look at my attributes and maybe figure whats wrong, if anything. SMART...

    GPU or CPU? (Help me Decide)

    I currently have a cheap $500 gaming PC that I want to upgrade. I'm looking into either upgrading my CPU or my GPU. My CPU is an AMD FX-4300 and my GPU is an AMD R7 250. I'm willing to spend around $150 on upgrading either one of them, but I'm not too sure which one is the "weaker link" in the...

    PC Randomly Restarts

    I have a relatively new desktop, purchased around summer of 2017. Never had any issues besides a couple of fan bearing issues. However recently I've noticed this thing would reset randomly. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to it and resets when idle or under heavy load. Maybe happens every...
