Hello, I just built my pc and have an issue. If I play music for example and not touch the computer at all, after 10min, the sound distorts and stutters until I either move the mouse or touch the keyboard. Then it will be fine again for another 10 min. I could be using Spotify, Winamp, VLC...

Hi everyone long time windows user here. I’ve recently got into the obsession of automating everything on my computer to do things for me delete temporary files, clean the recycle bin etc. And I think my obsession with this has backed me into an abnormal corner. Basically what happened is I...

problems I have are my ctrl c and v aren't working. I've tried everything to fix it but nothing works. Second, my computer shuts down but fans stay running sometimes. Usually, after it's been idle for a long time, like in the morning when I get back on it. Usually, it reboots after it does this...

Hi there, the CPU is constantly displaying 100% in windows task manager > users tab. However when I try other 3rd party programs the CPU is displaying correctly at idle 1%. Is this a bug? Or is there any way to fix it? I am sure the CPU is at 1% when left idle. Core temps readings

After leaving the computer idle for some time, like overnight, I find the computer apparently awake (sleep light not on), with the hard drive light irregularly but dimly flashing, and no way to access it. Neither mouse clicks nor any key on the keyboard does anything, nor is there any apparent...

Whenever I leave my PC for around 5-10m, I always return to it being frozen. I'm able to move the cursor but no app or window is responsive and AltCtrlDel doesn't work. When in continuous use, it never faces any problems. I've gamed for hours together with no issues only for my computer to...

The HDD is active and every 2 or 3 seconds, it is being accessed. What does Windows do in the background?

My energy setting for the screen is 1 hour. However after approx 10-15 idle minutes I need to log in again. Frustrating. W10 and Norton Security. What should I look for?

Trying to run a task on my Windows7 (Home Premium 64bit) notebook, when it is "idle". But task does not start. Task has a second trigger, running at certain time, this works. But idle is working, because when screensaver is acticated, it starts after "idle" time. Trying same task on my Windows7...

Hey guys, I installed Python and I had some problems with running it form the console. It runs perfectly fine with IDLE 32 bit, but when I saved it and run from Python, it flashes and exit the program. I attached a video to show what's wrong.

Hi everyone! I stumbled upon your fine forum earlier today as I was looking for people who had the same problem and maybe a solution to my problem. I'm currently experiencing these two BSODs when my computer is left on but idle; as in, I'll leave my computer after a long session of a video...

I've done a fairly cursory search through the forum, and haven't seen my specific issue mentioned, so here goes. I have Win7 and the screensaver is acting weird. Before anyone asks, I've checked all the settings regarding the amount of time before the screensaver comes on, before the computer...

Hi, I am using nvidia multi display power saver with SLI. With two monitors both cards are running at 51mhz and temps are good. Is this safe to force downclock all the time until I need the extra power/3D?

My daughter has four kids, and therefore thousands of photos, whose top-level folder is the source for her screen saver random slide show. It runs all day when the computer is idle and frequently she spots an interesting one and she can stop and look at it -- but she would like to know if it's...
