    HDD making read/write sound every 30 seconds

    Hi, guys! I recently added two Seagate drives to my PC (8TB Skyhawk) and there's something weird going on. Both of the drives are making a sound similar to what read/write operations sound like, but a bit louder, maybe more like a head on startup, but doing a single "click", if that makes any...

    Windows 10 random BSODs after creators update

    Will do. Thanks for your help so far. Just to clarify - my previous graphics card didn't die - it just had a abnormally loud fan. Other than that it wasn't causing any problems. First BSOD occurred when I first switched to integrated graphics 19.06 - that would match with what you're saying...

    Windows 10 random BSODs after creators update

    Hi, everybody! I'm having some random BSODs on Windows 10 after the last update (creators - got it on 14.06). As far as I know all the hardware is ok and drivers are up to date. I'm not sure, but I believe BSODs only occur when there's some audio/video playback going on (youtube, local clips...

    Could this black bracket, around the socket, be the CPU cooling mounting system?

    486 (Socket3) heatsink

    But that's the thing - it just sits on top of the CPU, with no pressure on it and no thermal paste. I don't remember ever putting thermal paste on one of those back in the day. And there are no leftovers on the heatsink ir the CPU.

    486 (Socket3) heatsink

    Hi, guys! So I'm going to rebuild a vintage PC and I've got a pretty solid base, with an intel 486DX2 66MHz CPU, but I also got an AMD 486DX4 with 100MHz, which needs a heatsink and a fan. So luckily, the PC I got for my project came with one, but I'm not sure how to mount it. Here's a photo of...

    SSD storage solution advice needed

    Yeah, I've tried EaseUS, but there seems to be a problem - because system partition gets a different drive letter when cloned - A: - while the EFI partition still points to a Windows instalation on drive C: and you can't change the drive letter on a system partition without screwing it up, at...

    SSD storage solution advice needed

    Hi guys! So I got my hand on one of those Plextor M8PeG M.2 drives and I am wondering how do I go about using it in my system. So my current drive setup looks like this: two ADATA XPG SX900 256GB SSDs - one of which has a 100GB system partition and 140GB gaming partition. Other SSD is used for...
