Hello, I have a query about my boot disk, which seems to be unusually slow. My boot time is about 60-seconds, with the (C) drive running at around 100% for the next 60-seconds once booted. Understable that it's in use while loading apps, but I'm surprised an NVME is at 100% doing these tasks...

so I have a 500gb and I recently got a 2tb and when I connect it my games start lagging (input delay) and my 500gn stops reading in task manager

I just got a brand new ADATA XPG Gammix S11 Pro, and after testing the Nvme SSD, i found out its a bit slower than what they advertise/what is shown in reviews. They advertise read speeds up to 3500Mb/s and write 3000Mb/s. The speeds from crystal mark are shown here: Here are the results of...

Hello. My seagate firecuda 520 (500gb) has advertised speeds of 5000mb seq read and 2500mb seq write, I was achieving this until recently and now I get 2500mb read and 500mb write. Updated to windows 2004 and then got 2500mb on both but back down to 500mb write again. I have 300gb free on...

Every time I start a game, after 15 minutes my PC crashes, but only when gaming. I've asked about this problem both on Reddit and this website in previous threads, but nothing was ever found. Someone asked me for a minidump file, but I had none because my BSOD was always freezing so no...

I had posted a thread with the same problem I have now thinking I had solved the problem. Essentially my computer will randomly bluescreen every few months with the error code CMUSBDAC.sys The solution given was for my blue snowball microphone which seemed to be causing the crash. I did the fix...

Hello, I have a lenovo 700-15isk laptop and recently its causing a game Im playing to have a lot of fps spikes (going up and down). Before I have never had this problem but it happened about 3 weeks ago. Ive checked with my GPU and CPU, the usages of both are the same as usual, so goes for the...

I have a NVME Samsung 970 with heatsink connected to motherboard directly through M.2. It's not the boot disk. When i turn on the PC, if i test with crystaldiskmark i get slow speed read/write results: However, if i reboot the PC and i execute the test again, i get correct results: If I...

If I have a blank CD-ROM, and I wrote some information on it, can I rewrite information on it even though it is CD-ROM? What if I have a CD-ROM already pre-installed with information, can I write information to that?

So I can't wrap this around my head, but I have a laptop that reads the HDD at around 60-70mb/s (used a boot usb to test) but when I did the same test on a desktop by plugging in the HDD from the laptop, the speed I was getting was 110-120mb/s. Could this be bottlenecked due to cpu?

I build 2 PCs quite some time ago and have been using an SSD for years. I never knew that drives will eventually loose their information if they go too long without power. Even USB drives? How long is this period? Also, SSDs have a finite number of times they can write? And apparently its bad...

I can get a ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 Ti for 530 but its a blower style card as you can see. I've heard they are good for cases with bad airflow. Mine would fall under that category. It's ENERMAX iVektor ECA3310A. Pic of inside of my build is below. I have a 290 Vapor X and playing Witcher for 20...

So this morning I went to turn on my PC and the pump fans were going full load, I checked the temps and the CPU was up top 100C. I've done nothing I wasn't doing before. Although I recently reinstalled win10, being the only change I've made I'm stumped what the problem is.. after checking...

If I buy a 6600K or 7600K its more expensive because I don't have DDR4 on hand while my current G3258 setup has 16 GB of DDR3 and would be about 100 dollars less. I'd need a new motherboard (I want to overclock,) new cpu cooler, new processor and/or new ram. Would the DDR4 setup or the DDR3...

Hey! I just recently purchased a pre-built iBuyPower Gaming tower off of Bestbuy. Ever since getting it, It seems to be running slow in almost everything I do. In simple games I cannot even go to maximal settings. In games like MapleStory it lags and runs slow. Same for Warframe. What bugs me...
