Good evening! Sorry if I posted this under an incorrect topic area, but I'm at a loss and not sure where to start. So, I shall give you all a brief explanation as to what is up and, hopefully, you can direct me in the right direction? My husband's cousin had been complaining about her laptop...

I've been getting a couple of blue screens over the past couple of weeks but I don't know how I should go about fixing them. I've recently restored my computer to factory settings. I didn't have my driver disk though so I just deleted all my partitions and installed windows 7 from there. From...

I am about to install a new hard drive because this one is about to crash. I have a 'Recovery' file on the existing drive that includes everything this PC came with. How do I re-install the factory software onto my new hard drive so I don't have to purchase Windows 7?

I bought an ASUS X53E Notebook about 6 months ago as a spare computer. I have not used it much until about a month ago and it has worked very well. Two days ago it was downloading a video file and a blue screen occurred. I rebooted and after a bit it happened again. I ran system repair which...

Hi, first post here because I didn't know what to do. My Samsung all in one (700a3d) was acting up a bit so I attempted a factory reset to hopefully fix the problem or, at the very least, allow me to remove my information from it so I can return it. Upon starting the reset (about 5-6 hours ago)...

Hi all New to this forum plus Win 8, so bear with me. I have Win 7 on my desktop which I use most of the time, but just got a nice new Asus S56C notebook with Win 8 installed. After eventually figuring out how to revert to the Win 7 desktop I've spent most of my time there, despite the system...

Hello, I've been asked to take a look at a computer system earlier this year. The owner had some sort of false FBI warning trying to get money from them. Since I successfully resolved that on another user's computer system, I checked on theirs too. They have what I believe is an HP Pavilion...
