I was told taht running check disk would help speed up my laptop, but it didn't. I ran it, and it took about 4 hours to complete. It said that the chkdsk was done, but nothing happened, it just said chkdsk was completed. So I pulled out my battery to restart my laptop, then I started windows...

Any risk in losing anything by running both an internal and external disk check via this method? Thanks

Was having problems for the first time with my desktop over the weekend - Windows 7, Quad Core, 16GB memory, GTX 550Ti graphics card, enhanced power supply. I think it may have been a result of some trouble I've been having with an external hard drive. It completely froze up computer every few...

Hello, hopefully you'll be able to explain what I have been experiencing since a a few days ago. I have a HP Spectre XT Ultrabook PC, Windows 7, fairly new. Last year I suffered from a black screen and I had to reformat the disk. Everything worked fine since last summer. Now, every time I...

Hi, I have Windows 8.1 as my operating system. After a random amount of time, my Disk usage will jump to 100% for around 30s-1min then go back to normal. It will continually do this over and over again. The problem is, I can't figure out a solution or the cause of the problem. I looked online...

I have made sure my drivers are up to date, run memory tests, and disk checks. Went on another forum, and was told to uninstall Virtual Box. Uninstalled virtual box and the drivers associated with it. That seemed to fix it, until I got back home after a week away. I've experienced around 5...

Hey Guys, first time posting here so hopefully this can be cleared up easily. ( I have Windows 7 64xBits Home Premium and More info is under my profile.) I have been getting random BSOD's for quite a while now and I am at my wits end. Sometimes it occurs right away, say when I open up Photoshop...

I could use some help with this one. I purchased a Asus 1015E-DS01 notebook about 1 1/2 weeks ago. It came with Windows 8 x64 and as soon as I got it, I updated it to Windows 8.1 x64 and updated it. I then got rid of the crapware on it, updated drivers and installed my software. The notebook...

I'm trying to fix an office computer that someone used before me. The PC is running Windows 7 Home premium (service pack 1) 64 bit. There are two major problems with it that I believe are connected or caused by the same issue. Here is what happened: I started deleting programs from the...

I have a 32-bit Vista Home Premium Acer labtop which will only boot in safe mode. If I try to start it normally, it loads the Acer logo, then the Windows Vista loading icon, then a blank screen. After the screen turns blank, the Windows welcome sound plays, but no login page appears. I have run...
