Hello. I recently upgraded some of my components (everything except my PSU and GPU) and I've been getting these random BSOD crashes. They happen while just sitting browsing the internet, watching Twitch etc and once while gaming. I ran some stress tests, Prime 95, Memtest86, Furmark, Heaven they all passed and the system was stable and didn't crash. For the first 2-3 days I seemingly did not have...

Hello I get a Blue screen of death error maybe once or twice a day, it is labeled as DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION. I've ran some minidump file analyzers and one said it was my razer mouse software, so I updated it, restarted the computer, and got the BSOD again. Here is all the info about the minidump files below.

Once again as I wait for the October Update to arrive I am concerned about my small storage (nominal 42 GB) 2-in-1 tablet PC having enough space to install it. I understand that now additional storage available on a USB flash 'pen drive' can be used, temporarily. I have some questions about this. Does the drive have to be empty, as after a format, or will it be OK if there are other files...

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. First post and I'm not sure where everything is yet. I installed Windows 10 on my laptop recently after switching from linux. I ran windows 10 before and haven't had this issue. I have an issue whenever I open any games in full screen where the middle to far right side of the screen is a deadzone (I get a normal cursor and can't control the game), and is...

For the last week my laptop has started making a jet engine noise when I turn it on. Once it's going it's fine and it quietens down to normal. Might this be a sign that things are soon to go kaput? I've had the laptop for about two years, use it every day. It's a HP with Intel Core i5-6200U CPU 2.3GHz 8GB RAM 64bit.

I currently have a pair of razer kraken pro v2's which are plugged into my computer via a headphone splitter. My computer detects my headphones just fine (audio working and all), but when it comes to using the microphone it doesn't seem to pick up my voice at all and only picks up audio coming out through the headphones. (EDIT): My microphone can now pick up my voice, but it still picks up...

Is there a way to send to recycle bin via command prompt so i can retrieve the file if something...

Hello everyone! I'm stuck with a very weird problem I can't solve. I'm not a full-on reading binary style tech person but I'm using computers (and fix their problems) since forever and never ran against a wall like this: My Dell M3800 laptop turned on the adaptive brightness feature again that I disabled almost three years ago. Now it's pretty much useless in dim environments because the...

Last time I had to do I hard restart I noticed I seem to have two OS's (both Windows 10) and I was given a choice about which one to use when restarting. Not sure how this came about, but when I go to This PC in Windows Explorer I see a drive called OS (D:). The usage bar is red and shows only 15 GB available of 185 GB. First question is whether this situation is likely to be slowing the...

Hi guys, So ever since the (infamous) October update, my start menu has been messed up. I configure my start menu to have no tiles at all, but after turning my computer off, waiting a little while and turning it back on, the start menu *always* resets to default. I've tried a number of fixes that seemed to work, but when I boot up my PC again the next day, all the pinned apps magically...
