windows 10

For some reason, I can't boot from my SSD which has Windows installed on it unless I have CSM enabled in my motherboard's UEFI settings. I believe this is preventing secure boot from enabling properly, which is preventing me from updating to Windows 11 due to the secure boot requirement. I'd...

Hey all, I'm pretty new to all this stuff but I'm building two PCs for friends and I'm wondering how best to get their Win10 OSes from their laptops onto the new nvmes I've got installed in their PCs? I know cloning is an option, but I've also seen people caution against it and say to do a clean...

I'm absolutely freaking out right now. I upgraded my PC from old gen intel CPU and asus rog strix Z390-E mobo to a AMD 5 Ryzen 7800X3D cpu and rog strix B650E-F mobo. I saw online when you switch mobos and cpus ESPECIALLY from Intel to AMD you should fresh install windows. Like an idiot I...

I'm sick of this problem that comes up from time to time. Every once in a while this issue has come up, and the solution seems to always be something slightly different. This time the thing that was the solution last time, is not working. I blame those pesky Windows-Updates. Version: 22H2...

Hello, I've been having this issue for about 9 months with varying frequency; sometimes it can happen multiple times a day, and sometimes I go multiple weeks without an incident. It usually happens when the PC is relatively idle, for example, when listening to music or watching a video, but...

I recently built a gaming pc and booted in on. I unfortunately didn't get any display so I troubleshooted and eventually removed a RAM stick and was able to get a display. I plugged in a USB with the Windows 10 Installer Media into a USB 2.0 port on the back of my motherboard. When I answer the...

I just put together a new PC with an i7 13700k, 4070 ti super, and a MSI Pro z790-p WIFI motherboard. Originally I was going to just plug in my old drives but they didn't boot so i did a clean install of windows 10 onto a new nvme ssd. This let me boot into windows. But now the wifi is not...

So I tried to OC my Corsair Vengence LPX 3600 MHz CL16 4x8 gb RAM kit but got crazy instabily issues, couldn't boot and if I did BSOD immediately. I went on to remove the OC and even clear the cmos but the instability remained in the form extremely frequent BSODs. Since it was a new computer...

I have tried it so many times over the years. The furthest I got was to get two PCs to see each other and work together over a home network. But even then, the network did not persist. If I shutdown or rebooted either or both PCs, they couldn't see or connect to each other anymore. Things are...

Can I somehow fix it without changing my CPUs and gain some more fps in game?

I have a Windows 10 tablet that I'm trying to get to boot from a USB flash drive. My ultimate goal is to run Linux on it from a "LiveUSB". After figuring out how to get into the BIOS, I discovered that there's no "Boot from USB" option. A little research online said I could use "Update &...

Hi guys, if someone could take a look at these dump files I'd be very grateful. They're from my little brother's machine who lives quite a ways from me, so I can't do hands on troubleshooting. He was having several BSODs a day, seemingly randomly. From the crash codes I've seen, it seems to be...
