Bump.

Make sure no extra screws or offsets on your case are shorting your mobo (like an extra offset touching the back of your mobo). So does your mobo boot when you reset your CMOS? What do you mean exactly by "it works for a split second"?

Yes, if you turn your PC off by the power button, Windows will assume it didn't close off correctly (it thinks it crashed or blue screened) and will show the screen you are talking about. Although turning your PC off by the power button can't do a lot of harm, I'd advise against doing it, so...

So this has been a problem fairly recently, every day when the computer gets booted it takes 30 minutes for the screen to display anything, and every day it takes longer for the screen to display something. When the screen does suddenly display something, the computer has already completely...

I have uninstalled some old Xonar STX drivers from an audio card I used to use, and I have reinstalled my Realtek HD Audio Drivers, and the latter seems to have solved the issue, so far, but maybe the problem is just less prominent now. I will post back later if the problem isn't resolved but...

I've been having this problem where my programs lower each other's volume if they get too loud. For example I'll be playing a game, Minecraft for example, and I'll have music on in the background. While I do nothing in Minecraft my music will get increasingly louder until it gets to presumably...

That sounds like your CPU fan is defective and your CPU is rapidly overheating. See if you have a spare CPU fan or one you can borrow to test if this is the problem before you melt your CPU.

So this started a while ago, I wanted to change something sound related on my motherboard, but it seemed I fried my motherboard with an ESD. So, I bought a new motherboard; a MSI 970 Gaming, using all my old hardware I just swapped everything out onto my new motherboard, using the same OS I had...

When using an AMD graphics card, is there a way to remove the black borders around the screen when not using a native resolution, rather than having to switch each program I use to native? Because some games I play tend to lag a bit when using a native resolution, while not lagging in a...

We're going to try to start up in Safe Mode now (which we should've done long ago probably), and post back on the results of that. @sDGam: Nothing out of the ordinary on task manager, once it actually opens. We just recently cleaned his PC out, so that's probably not it. We did an Avast...

Hello, this isn't really a thread for me, but for a friend, but I'm more technologically aware than he is, so that shouldn't be a problem. Recently, my friend's computer has been running really slowly, but in a weird way. When he uses an internet browser, or even Windows explorer, it will often...
