    Question How long should a restart take after updating chipset drivers?

    I used the one on gigabytes support page for my mobo: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-AX370-Gaming-5-rev-10/support#support-dl, driver > chipset > [2.07.21.306] (the 2nd latest, I don't have an apu so assumed I didn't need the top one). After I forced a restart, my pc wouldn't turn on...

    Question How long should a restart take after updating chipset drivers?

    [SOLVED] Scanning disk for errors

    [SOLVED] Scanning disk for errors

    Thank you, I'm in the midst of backing up now to an external drive. If there's any issues copying certain files is there any chance of recovering them? There's only one file I was unable to open before I started trouble shooting but I didn't test others. I'll be honest I don't really get the...

    [SOLVED] Scanning disk for errors

    [SOLVED] Scanning disk for errors

    So I've got 2 hard drives installed, one 500gb ssd (which has my OS, dev programs and games) and a 3tb HHD which I basically store old photos/completed art on. I've noticed the transfer between the 2 is taking an astronomical time, and sometimes when I've clicked the pc while it's trying the...
