Hello, I'm dealing with multiple bsod daily. There appears 4 different bsod error codes. Mostly it is UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION or CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED, but sometimes I see MEMORY_MANAGMENT (or sth like that) and KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR. I think the bsod always comes after windows startup (...

Bought an NVME M.2 SSD to put in my motherboard so I can load my OS onto it and use my HDD for files so that it'll take less time to boot my computer up. What are the steps I need to go through in order to have Win 10 boot on my SSD instead of my HDD? Not trying to delete any files but instead...

PC shuts down randomly, while I'm trying to play Insurgency: Sandstorm. Other games are seemingly fine (tested CITIES:Skylines, CIV6, Crysis 2, Kenshi, etc.) It happens either on start, or when game transitioning to post-match\lobby screen. Instead of "Blue screen of Death" - PC just shuts off...

Currently running Win 7 and mobo that only supports SATA IDE config (and raid, but I don't care about that). Will the OS installation cover the AHCI driver required by the new mobo or is this something I should have in place before the mobo/OS switch? current board future board Looking around...

OK, So I have been putting off upgrading from Win 7 for as long as possible. Everything I hear about 10 sounds awful. The privacy concerns especially. But now I heard that if you register Win10 with a motherboard or other hardware, you will be "locked" to that hardware with that version of the...

Hi all, I fired up my M6800 i7-4900mq 32gb laptop yesterday (Windows 10), and everything was running extremely slowly, everything was absolutely fine previously, so am a little lost. As far as I’m aware there has been no updates applied, no software/hardware changes, etc. After checking...

Hi everyone! I'm by no means a computer expert, so here I am asking your help. My laptop was running pretty slow, not fluid, so I tried formatting it (following the Step-by-Step option in "Settings"). It got better, but STILL feels like a fresh clean Win10 laptop should run better. It's a...

My pc randomly freezes, but it's not sudden. The freeze is kinda building up until it is completely frozen. Firstly my internet connection drops then after like 4 seconds I can't click on anything, then everything freezes, but if I watch a youtube video and my pc starts freezing I can still hear...

Hi, so since a few days some weird folders that start with tw and end with .tmp keep appearing in the C:/Windows/Temp folder. They seem to appear at random times and they contain no files in them. I already did a full virus scan with ESET and ESET SysRescue which both had 0 threats found, I...

Hello all! Straight to the point: Is there any way to check if a computer is eligible for a valid Windows 10 key before installing? I have a 4/5 year old mini-pc lying around. It currently runs Win7. I don't remember if it came with no OS or if with Win8 and downgraded. Thanks!

At this point, i'm very desperate really don't know what to do. Basically, i come back to my computer after a break and its all frozen. I shut it manually, by holding pressing the power button. When i tried to start it, it kept loading forever and ever. I turn it off again and try to...

So I am trying to copy some video clips from an SSD to a RAID5 array on Win 10 about 15Gb. The copying starts out well at about 350Mb/sec then after about 30sec the speed drops to a puny 1.5 Mb/s or 2 at most. Can this be an SSD or a RAID5 array issue? How can I test this? Thanks! Gabster

I have a Lenovo Ideapad 110s and I can't install windows on it. The whole partition was deleted and I don't know how to recover the partition on put windows back on the eMMC flash storage. I've tried everything possible but nothing seem to work. Any suggestion?

So a few years ago I bought a Microsoft Sidewinder X4 and i've just found out that basically nowhere sells this bad boy now (despite it's good reviews). Is there any keyboard which is similar? I just want something with a similar shape and size that's an anti-ghosting membrane keyboard. Just...

I’m torn between both cases, they’re both full Tower ATX cases and with almost indentical specs but the Corsair 760t is £100 more which would mean it would take me longer to build my PC. Should I splash out the extra £100 for the Corsair 760t or stick with The Gamemax Titan. The components o...

Aida64 the voltage keeps on switching every few seconds but not on Prime95 even though the temperatures reach higher on Prime95 up to 77C and average at about 66C. I'm not sure if this is fine to leave it as it is or change a setting in the BIOS to stop it from switching. Thanks

Is there any Linksys (perfered brand) gigabit router that has a guest network (that is completely separate to the main network) where you can limit the internet speed? I.E.: if you have a 30 down and a 5 up, can the guest network be limited to 5 down and 1 up? If so what routers and models...

Hey guys! I've noticed that while my computer is idling, it is using anywhere between 6-8GB of ram. Mind you this isn't a massive issue as I have 32GB installed, but am curious as to whats using it. The task manager doesn't show any programs using large amounts of ram. Is this normal? is there...

I downloaded Windows 7 as an .iso file legally and acquired the Product key but never got around to using it, the Product key expired in 2014-11-12. My question is if I wanted to install windows 7 using that key would it work now ? I've been getting conflicting answers about that.

I have a 2 in 1 modem/router combo from Spectrum, wired I am getting over 100 down but wifi signal is bad and usually around 10 down even when close to the router. What options do I have to increase my wifi speeds? Would wifi range extenders be worth the investment or would they not make a...
