hardware issues

After a recent Windows Update on my Windows 8.1 Asus laptop, my Logitech M305 wireless mouse stopped working. The wireless receiver in Device Manager is no longer being recognized; it is simply listed as USB Receiver under Other Devices with a yellow exclamation point. I tried deleting the...

During the last two weeks I observed sudden reboots of my Win 7 system. In various, different situations the system crashed suddenly and starts afterwards automatically a reboot. I verified possible software configurations and tracked it down to some hardware issues. The only reason I can think...

I have a system that will not make it past post. The system starts, and then has a black screen that basically reads "disk error" and a mac id. Now, I know that means there is something wrong, so I took the drive and put it in my main system with slightly higher specs. The hard drive worked...

Windows 10 was working fine until a few months ago when I started getting BSODs very frequently and at random. I get at least one every 24 hours and it's either "Unexpected store exception" or "Critical process died". It never creates a memory dump no matter what I've tried and I' already ran...

Hi there, I recently installed Windows 10 on my 3-4 years old Acer Aspire laptop, and after fixing the wifi and bluetooth drivers problems I've just found that my DVD drive no longer works! It shows up in My Computer, Device Manager etc and has power and makes whirrs, but it won't read any...

My wife has an HP laptop, model 14-1023cl if I can read the faded label correctly. If runs Windows 8 with one of the add-ons to make it look more like earlier versions. Maybe 8.1 instead? Sorry, I don't know. Avast runs daily. A few days ago it was very slow, and froze with a blank dull blue...

I can no longer boot 64-bit Win 7 Pro in normal or Safe Mode on ANY disk due to BSOD: STOP 0x0000007B (0XFFFF880009A97E8, 0XFFFFFFFFC0000034, 0, 0). The motherboard is an Asus Z-87A. NOTE: I profusely apologize, but since I can't even boot in Safe Mode, I cannot run the "W7F Diagnostic Tool"...

I have a custom build desktop and on and off for over a year this has been happening: Computer will completely randomly freeze, normally when playing a video (youtube right monitor) before i start yelling, you can slightly here just hissing and ****ed up noises. Sometimes louder or different...

Hi, I used to get bluescreens that moslty had the error message DATA_INPAGE_ERROR, which I found out was due to my HDD, which was very old and slow. So I replaced that and don't get that error any more, but still blue screen that doesn't really have an error message. I'm decent with computers...

Hello Debugging Gods, my two months old Acer R5-471T-57JD keeps crashing. I got it with Win10 installed but I guess it was updated as I found a Windows.old folder. I've already sent it in and the Motherboard was replaced. Now Memtest86 comes back clean, so I guess that's sorted out. Sfc/scannow...

Do ya'll use Bit Locker? All NSA and Microsoft backdoor, giving the keys to the government, talk aside. I'm more interested in encrypting my drive to keep my information safer, in case it's stolen or some type of malware gets on. I'm interested in hearing people's experiences using it. Did you...

Good afternoon, My name is Anthony and I have registered here after stumbling across a thread with similar issues to mine. I am in the processes of currently running a memory test on a PC where I work. It keeps freezing so that I have to kill the power and it will intermittently blue screen. I...

I'm having the exact same issue as original poster. Cold boot and on desktop. Usually 5-10 min in I'll lockup and freeze. Requires restart. From then on I have no more issues the rest of the day or night, even when playing high demand games. If I shut down or sleep it's hit or miss if it will...

I have spent months trying to diagnose why a couple of my systems will not enter any power save states. Late last year i narrowed it down to the fact that i have several game controllers plugged in. When googling 'Windows 10 joystick sleep' i suddenly became aware i was not alone. It seems now...

I have a Toshiba Satellite P875-S7102 Laptop that began operating very peculiar because the Windows 8.1 operating system s-l-o-w-e-d down. Click an Icon to initiate a web browser (or anything else) and go make a pot of coffee while you wait for for the icon to acknowledge you even clicked it...

Having tried Win10 on my Lenovo T61, I found too many problems with hardware and restored Win7 from an image backup. Since then, my Windows update consistently tells me to upgrade to 10 and, when I try to search for new Win7 updates, it just searches for hours with no results or reports that...

Hey, hopefully someone here will be able to help me out. I bought a new GPU, a GTX 980 and after 3 days I got my first BSOD. A few days later I got another BSOD in WoW while playing only for a few minutes. After that every game I started first after I booted up my PC, would completely freeze...

Okay, I recently replaced the power supply on my desktop machine. This was after, this last Sunday, I went to turn the machine on and the power button wouldn't do anything. It was dead as a Dalek. I replaced the power supply with a Thermaltake TR2 600W ATX PS, and the machine powered on fine...
