I have a relatively new asus-computer (i7-6700 HQ-CPU, 2,6 Ghz, 8 GB RAM, 64 Bit) + W 10 Home.

Wyh is that so and...

I am planning to buy a new computer with a LGA 1151 and Skylake processor.
Is Win7 running on such systems?
In other words: Are there Win 7 drivers available für the new Skylake chipsets?

When reading some config recommendations always two different hardware features are mentioned:
AHCI and ACPI
What is the difference?
Both seem to be power-saving-related.
Is one for hard disks and the other for CPU only?
Is one in BIOS-only configurable the other from WinOS configurable?

Hello,
I have very annoying problem with BSOD showing up circa 5 minutes after starting the computer:
It happens only after the first start (sometimes also after the first restart) - I have been doing something for 5 minutes and suddenly - boom! - BSOD. Computer restarts and then it works...
I installed Oracle a few months ago. (I have since uninstalled it.)
Ever since, my sidebar gadget "all cpu meter" has been broken.
I'm not 100% sure that Oracle installation is directly responsible, but it's the best thing I can come up with.
