Not sure whats going on but for some dumb reason windows 10 is not recognizing my 3TB Hitachi UltraStar 7K3000 as a HDD it insists its a SSD. My 850 evo has to go back to samsung so they told me to clone the c: onto D: then change boot order. Perfect sense, same as always so I do so and now not...

My guess is hardware, but what I notice is that the machine will stutter -> hang -> then totally crash. The system is still "on" but I must do a hard-power-off in order to turn it on again. Sometimes after crashing it will hang and crash during the whole POST/BIOS startup section as well...

Hey, guys. I am currently dealing with the annoyance of my PC booting into bios whenever I try to start it up. After I exit the bios, it then boots into windows but this is causing my PC to slow down tremendously because I have an SSD cache. The cache gets wiped every single time this happens...

Hey, all. I need some help. I just got a new hard drive for my laptop to replace an old one that went bad. Unfortunately, Windows will not install to the laptop (or work, on the one occasion I've succeeded). Every time I've tried to install Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit), it tells me that it...

Pardon the length; I'll try hard to keep it short as possible. I know there is a lot on the internet concerning genuine Windows 7 64 OS suddenly being flagged as not valid. I tried a number of ideas postulated on the web but I still can't get it to work. Now to be honest this issue has been...

Apologies, I am not very good with computers, but I am in desperate need of help. Under device managers, it appears that these devices need up-to-date drivers, otherwise I can't connect to the internet. :( I have provided as much information as I possibly can. I will also include a couple of...
