As long as the boot block wasn't corrupted and it's actively detecting main bios code as a corrupted you can usually put the update onto a usb stick in a certen folder and it will auto repair ( it's it's not beeping just flat black screen then yes hp/Microsoft need to coff up some money for...

Wit Witch is what bitlocker is supposed to protect from (if stolen) Unfortunately enabling tpm + pin/key isn't fully straight forward Bitlocker can use pre boot bitlocker if you change it to allow it (password on boot) witch this does protect you if pc/laptop is stolen (but no protection from...

Would I buy a 990 evo, no as I don't buy dramless ssd's (this should just be a 990 with no evo in its name) This topic could do with been clean up It's very likely it's the "windows fast start up" feature that's causing problems, open up classic power management settings and the untick the...
