Hello, I'm encountering an issue with Windows 8.1 when trying to do a clean install. The OS install boots, but then crashes saying: "Un unexpected error occured. The computer will now restart." I've been thinking this is a driver issue, Wi-Fi card or DVD, both of which I've removed from the...

I tried using the internal dvd...

I have an "AFT PRO-57U" USB 3.0 card reader that I just purchased. The cable for this card reader must plug into the mobo USB 3.0 20 pin connector. My mobo has only one 20 pin connector, which the USB panel on front of the PC case is currently occupying. I'd rather not have to unplug the case...

I initially had a problem with my my computer i.e. 'Windows desktop manager stopped working and was closed' - so having tried many potential solutions, and failed, I am resigned to restoring the computer to factory settings. It seems that I have to do with the windows installation disc. But my...

My DVD disk drive is no longer working on my Sony Vaio laptop. Is any external disk drive compatible or do I need something compatible to Sony? Is it difficult to install a new internal disk drive? I'm terrible at things like that so an external is more appealing to me. The laptop really needs...
