I had a hp pavilion 550-110 with windows 10, but it started slowing down so I decided to take out the hard drive and put it in a HP Pro 3130 mt i3 (Windows 7). When I boot it it gives me the error: BIOHD-3. I've tried changing all the setups in the bios, the only thing I found to work is to put both of the hard drives in the HP Pro with the pavilion HDD as a secondary with the original hard...

A few weeks ago I starting seeing large ads showing up just above the left side of the toolbar. They don't go away until I click an arrow. These have been annoying but now they're even advertising sexual function enhancers. I've run a complete ZoneAlarm virus scan and a complete Malwarebytes scan (both versions are free) and nothing has shown up. This made me wonder if these are actually...

I have an MSI 990FXA-GB80 MoBo. I just installed two Crucial 500gig SSD's into my case and SATA3 to my MoBo. My previous SSD, a Mushkin, got corrupted and died and I lost my recent data.

My previous Windows was Win7 with a...

Phantom Log?

When I save a .log file on the desktop* it doesn't show up there*. I do a search from Windows Explorer and find the log. The properties indicate it is, in fact, in the desktop folder, however there is no sign of it in that folder, or on the Desktop itself. _The only way to find the .log file is to do the search!_ This only happens with log files. Anyone make sense of this?...Thanks

I decided to try out the facility to sync clipboard data across 2 desktops and a notebook all having received the October update. I set *Sync across devices *to *On *and all seemed well with me being able to see what's been copied on any of the 3 PC's. The problem is I can't get that setting to stick and after shutting down / restarting on any of them it's gone back to being *OFF*. Any...

I experience a delayed detection of usb storage at startup (device connected sound) with uefi + ultra fast boot I didn't have that issue at all when my win 10 had been booting with MBR/BIOS + ultra fast boot. The process was slower somewhat, and, I guess, the enclosure had more time to initialize before the desktop screen. With GPT/UEFI, howerver, the boot process is much faster. It seems the...

... without 3rd party software? (these words didn't fit in the thread title anymore) I am not so keen on installing 3rd party software if a Windows native solution is available. When files are still 'outside' the Recycle.bin I can securely delete them using an option within my Explorer replacement (Directory Opus). Sometimes I have already deleted them in the 'conventional way' and...
