Hey guys i've been having weird issues with my new laptop. I upgraded and while im getting higher fps in gta 5 and arkham knight, i'm also getting a whole lot of stuttering. I used to be able to run these games on 4 gigs of ram and a worse gpu with no stutter at all (albeit lower fps) but now...

I had attempted to insert an SSD Nvme card into my pc but in the end I couldn't get it to work. My HDD at the end was even acting strange and not detecting my ethernet cable. I put my build into a new case for the first time since I build the pc in 2015. My build is CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K...

I am trying to analyze what is going on with my disk and laptop, but i dont know where to start. Whenever i try to run "check for disk errors" in the properties menu. It gives me an error, when i try to run CHKDSK it gives me errors too. I want to reset my laptop but that doesn't work either...

Hardware: MSI GF63 8RC running an i7-8750H, GTX 1050, and 32GB of RAM on Win10. This laptop has always been slow. Like since day one, always sluggish to do much of anything, open programs, new windows, login, play games, etc. Once it gets going it does decently, but it doesn't run like its got...

My hard drive is dying/dead(?). The file system changed to RAW and I cannot open the drive anymore. Is there any way I can get my data back or format without erasing? The drive is called: Seagate ST31000340AS (I tried CHKDSK but it said "The type of the file system is RAW. CHKDSK is not...

Last night i restarted my pc, then was greeted with a blue screen, whose error i dont remember. Naturally after the bs it restarted again, but couldnt boot, as the m.2 ssd was nowhere to be found in the bios. I installed windows on a hard drive to see what was going on and when i entered disk...

Hey guys, I recently got a Kingston 1TB "A2000" M.2 NVMe SSD for my birthday, and installed in on my desktop Windows 10 computer (I already have one 500GB NVME SSD installed as the boot device). I tried to format it and make it register as an actual disk by using Disk Management, but it does...

Recently i have shifted from Mac (Hackintosh) to Windows platform. I have been making backups to an NTFS-formatted, external 2TB HDD using Tuxera , an app which allows me to see ntfs partitions on mac...but the problem is some of the data goes missing when i connect the disk on...

I'm sorry if this is a wrong forum but I can't google anymore. Please help me. I need explanation for dummies. I'm probably smart enough (IQ-wise) to follow detailed instructions, but I don't understand anything about how anything works. I have a 5 years old laptop with a HDD disk. I never used...

Hey everyone, I converted my boot drive to GPT from MBR, and the drive shows as GPT in disk management. All seems good, until I go into the bios and disable CSM, and none of my drives then show up to boot to. I would really appreciate any help with this, thanks!

Hello, I'm trying to fix a 100% disk usage problem on my laptop, I've tried everything like updating turning off services (SysMain, Search, DiagTrack), and a lot more, but nothing worked. Can anyone help me with this problem? Like is there even anything else I can do to try and stop this...

Hello Guys, I am currently running out of disk space on my laptop (Acer Aspire A315-41-R0KV with a 256 GB ssd running windows 10), and I found that there is a roughly 30 GB large partition on my disk that I don't have access to via windows explorer (see screenshot below). This is the state that...

Hi guys, I'm having a weird problem in my laptop. Sometimes, all of a sudden, I get low fps in all games. (for example, down to 10fps when I normally get 40). When it happens I noticed that the game cannot fully use CPU/GPU, instead they don't go beyond 40-50%. I've found out that this usually...

After I don't press any key, it scans and repairs my drive apparently and then boots up fine. I do not have any drive issues, and this happens randomly, twice since I got my prebuilt pc in November 2020. I have M.2 512GB SSD from WD, and extra 500GB Samsung Evo 860 SSD. Windows 10 is on the...

So I recently upgraded my cpu from a i3-6100 to a i7-7700k on my B150M-A D3 motherboard. I upgraded to the latest version of the BIOS and bought some DDR3L 1.35V ram (because it’s the only compatible RAM with my cpu and motherboard) so everything should technically be okay. But the problem is...

I have had my laptop since like 2013 or 2014 and it was fine until like 2018 and 2019 when it started using 100% disk the whole time it was on. I scanned the laptop for viruses and found none. Most of the time its Norton Security and the system itself using up most of the disk (usually between...

Okay, let's start from the beginning. I have a 1TB capacity 2,5'' WD My Passport, old one, from around 2013-ish. Somehow the file system had gone "poof" and the disk became unusable. Despite being nearly full before it broke, I wanted to recover all ~900GB of files before fixing it with a...

Hi everyone, Having a little bit of a nightmare with my new PC build - essentially I've upgraded the processor, motherboard, ram and introduced an SSD for the operating system to run off of, but now my old HDD with all my files consistently runs at 100% when I open programs, or launch games...

Edit: Issue isn't game-specific - the below mentioned ones are more heavily affected than most however. Be needing some help here - Windows 10 really doesn't seem to like me these days. Pretty much ever since I got this PC (bought it second hand a few months ago) I've noticed spikes in the disk...

Hi! my computer is running 100% Disk Usage. and tried everything.... to stopping and disabling some service, to performing risky pc tasks. my computer is an ASUS K55A-SX096R and its age is like 8 or 9... It's an Intel i5-3210m... oh i forgot, every time I turn on the laptop it is constantly on...

Hi all, I have an SSD and a normal dard drive with the SSD carrying my windows. I was trying to reinstall windows 10 and when i went into boot setup, it wouldn't let me install it on the drive that i had my windows on saying that it was in GPT format. I then followed an instruction online that...

There were previously 2 partitions on this drive but I've moved everything on the other one somewhere else and erased it, expanding the other volume step by step. Now it seems as is every time I did that, instead of enlarging the current region, it kept adding more and more regions. Does this...

Hello ! TL;DR: I can't delete partition on which Linux is installed from Windows; the only option available when right clicking the volumes in Disk Management is Help. I don't even get a list of grayed options. I have only one option and that is Help; I have tried MiniTool ShadowMaker Free and...

Hello, I had a fan that was not working so i had to see which one it was, after i realised and fixed which one it was. I booted up my PC, somehow it went direct into the bios settings and i saw that the SSD was not there as an option to boot. I tried to shut down my PC manually but it wasn't...

Hello! Im trying to erase my nvme ssd because Im not able to boot into any of my windows usb installation disks, they always freeze or not boot at all.

My PC is very space limited with two pretty old SSDs. I'm considering spanning a volume onto another disk using Disk Management in Windows 10 Pro, having never done it before. I'd be doing this so that I can install PC games that are larger than 100GB. Currently I can only install games of...

Hello, I recently upgraded to my system's motherboard, CPU, ram, and case. I have two hard drives SSDs (NVMe C: and sata SSD for extra games) and my sata ssd is now not available in file manager, diskpart, partition manager, or bios. I should probably mention that I didn't do a fresh install on...
