I usually like to supervise my PC while it does an update, but I only update a few times a year. My system is also a server and needs to be online pretty much 24/7. This latest update happened while I was away for a D&D game (Thursday night, Feb 1st) . Had tons of stuff open that clearly didn't...

It's been years since I've visited, so pardon me if I'm not in the right category. I can't be sure where this fits given every fix I've tried. I have this problem where Windows 10 acts as if I'd tapped the Control button, and by default will magnify/zoom out the size of my browser -- any...

Apologies but can't provide a dump log rn since I'm currently doing Memtest I am randomly BSOD-ing, like I would go on 12-jour sessions with no BSOD, leave my PC on while I sleep on purpose to see if it would and I would wake up with my PC in BIOS. This error code has been the most common...

Hey all, I'm having massive issues trying to get anything working after a failed windows 10 update. I'm currently not sure if it is a Windows issue, or a HW issue following the failed windows update, so wasn't sure where exactly this question should be posted. Yesterday, I applied the latest...

So after a crash on my PC last night, the computer won't boot past BIOS, and won't even go into advanced repair/startup repair. It did at once and I used a system restore point but it didn't reboot after completing the restore and now it just does a loop of trying to load into advanced repair...

Hi all. I've been having some issues as of late with my PC that I use for my CCTV and storage system. It's normally on 24x7 but has been crashing lately. I've used whocrashed and it looks like i've got a memory issue and an IRQ/Driver issue but I don't know which driver. I'm not sure if the...

After playing Team Fortress 2 I noticed that my "P" key and my "Backspace" key no longer work, I temporarily fixed this by alt tabbing in and out of the game however this didn't seem to provide a permanent solution and the 2 keys are still broken. I'm sure this is a not hardware issue as other...

Hey everyone, I have a Dell Precision M6800 Laptop with 32gb of RAM, an i7-4900MQ CPU, and running Windows 10 64-bit. I am REALLY losing my mind with this. On the night of 1/7/24, I noticed with Chrome that when a webpage would stay open for a minute (or less), it would suddenly die and say...

Hi all, Just bought a 500 GB SSD (MX500) for games, because the hard drive was too slow. Installed a first game (around 100 GB) and it worked well, with high, sometimes constant write speeds of 100/200 MB/s. The next game I'm currently installing is limiting the write speed to around 60 MB/s...
