TL;DR: My second system drive is 'a little' corrupt: files can be accessed, partition taken/used space information is correct, sectors are good but it just won't boot past Windows loading. Chkdsk, sfc etc. all good. The only error is seen in SRTTrail.txt (Startup repair) logs. I now have 2 SSD...

I got an open box laptop(Lenovo v17 g3 iap) from a dude on a local used electronics website. He stated that it is brand new and only getting windows in Greek(from German). I am guessing that it might have been an exhibition one because he gave me only the laptop and its charger. The thing is...

Hello All, So I have a weird issue. A week back my GPU suddenly started crashing. I didn't think much of it since it was a 970 and it had survived long enough. In its dying acts, it would only work after a few reboots (at which point it worked fine actually) or if Windows automatically disabled...

I decided to turn on my PC, but Windows didn't want to boot, it kept loading until I restarted and then "Reboot and select proper boot device..." appeared, then i tried turning it off and on, it loaded again but it still wouldn't boot. I did this over and over until it finally booted and I used...

I keep getting the bluescreen "WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR" and it's caused by the device "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_7ABC&SUBSYS_86941043&REV_11\3&11583659&0&E4" which is labled as "Intel(R) PCI Express Root Port #5 - 7ABC" and I literally have no idea what that means... It sounds to me like an empty port...

Hi, I have an issue that I cannot seem to solve anyhow, I've tried every possible thing, from reinstalling Windows to updating BIOS. Thing is, issue started popping up after I changed cases, moved all components to the other case and then this started happening. So what happens is that when I...

Hi, It's safe to delete the thumb_cache folder located in the directory where all the screenshots and videos of AMD Radeon are stored? Could delete that folder cause any malfunction ? I accidentally deleted the folder inside one of my games while trying to remove some recordings.

I just upgraded to w11 from w10 and looking at system metrics (AMD software: Adrenalin edition) it seems like w11 is using way more resources than w10 was. Seems like w11 is about 2 or 3gb higher in system ram and 1 or 2gb higher on VRAM than w10. Start up alone w11 uses 7.8gb of RAM and 4gb of...

Hey all, I was doing some upgrades for my computer, and I'm migrating to a new system with an NVMe SSD instead of a SATA SSD.

Hello! So recently my computer has been running horribly and I've been attempting to diagnose the issue. After trying a bunch of different things, I installed SpeedFans to see what it had to say. To my surprise it's showing near constant 100% cpu usage. Even weirder is that TaskManager is only...
