I have just clean installed a new system. Everything is fine but the new system can't boot up my 2nd drive. It shows on device manager but does not mount. Any tips? Thanks

Dear all, Thank you for reading this. Recently I've been getting a lot of BSOD's. To be more specific the "critical_process_died" one stuck at 0% so no dump file.

I'm building a new computer, ill make this question quick. Should I install a fresh copy of windows on my SSD that I'm reusing from my old computer, or just let it be? Should I wipe the drive completely and redownload everything? I know it doesn't really make a difference, but since I'm using...

Hello Users, how can i format my windows to install a fresh Windows 7 and use the product key of the bottom of my notebook?

Before reinstalling windows, my laptop's monitor would turnoff whenever I set the brightness to 0. Now with a clean install of windows, 0 brightness is just very dim. I would like to know if there is a way to get this feature back, as it was very useful. Any help would be appreciated.

I’m beefing up my laptop (which in any event needs a new cooling fan (sounds like a 737 starting up sometimes) and battery (short charge time and looks a bit lumpy) with a new SSD. I’ve retrieved the product key just in case, and this is going to be a completely fresh installation using the...
