Update: I reread the instructions included in the download, and it turns out it was for 64 bit systems...mine is a 32 bit. I hit F8 for advanced boot options and used the "last known good configuration" option to get into windows (big relief), then undid the registry changes with the .reg file...

I was trying to copy files from a Mac hard drive onto my Windows 7 32-bit PC. I had read you can install HFS+ drivers to make the drive read-only on Windows. So I found the drivers online, and put them in System 32. Then I ran the registry edit that came bundled in the download. I stupidly did...

Okay thanks! Will try.

I've found that it happens even with only the charger. I've also opened up the notebook and it looks reasonably dust-free.

CPU and GPU around 50c and max out around 85c. I don't know how to provide fan speed. No error messages it just turns off suddenly. It often happens during light use like emails, word processing, etc.

I think I've just found that I'm not alone with this problem. My experience fits right in with other folks who have the R7 260X graphics card. Now I just have to decide if I'm going to return it or try their workarounds...

I just finished building my first PC, it's been up and running for about a week. About three times now, the screen has just gone blank. The computer stays running -- no changes in sound or anything. The monitor stays on, but blank. I don't know where to start the troubleshooting. I don't even...

I really think it's a defect now. I contacted LG and they didn't have any answers, said I would need to send it in for repair. Instead I'm returning it to newegg and buying a different monitor. Sucks because I really like the picture quality on this LG one -- good for the really low price...
