Microsoft's latest Windows 11 update, dubbed 24H2, is sending tremors through the tech community, especially among users equipped with Western Digital NVMe SSDs and outdated Intel audio drivers. The rollout has come with a slew of blue screen errors (also lovingly referred to as BSODs)...
The recent rollout of Windows 11 24H2 has brought with it a cocktail of excitement and a dash of disappointment as Microsoft has confirmed several notable bugs affecting users. While the update enhances certain performance features and aesthetics (hello, improved animations!, it also introduces...
Hello y'all. I have an unusual problem with my display resolution.
As many others, I have an older Dell laptop with an Intel Graphics 3000 adapter. Like many others, Windows 10 suddenly won't let me change the resolution to 1920. But in my unique case this happens only ONCE IN A WHILE. A...
HI Everyone,
I saw the other threads on this, but they seem to be a bit different than my own issue as my PC isn't a laptop. It's a machine I put together a few years back. I installed Win 7 (64-bit) on it at the time and everything was fine for a long time. I upgraded to Win10 several month...

I was getting a memory.dmp error and i thought updating the driver would solve the problem but the IDU gives me that.
Any idea how to...

Hi guys,
I hope you can help.
I have been having these BSODs or hangs ever since I installed (fresh) Windows 8 on this 4-year-old laptop.
It nearly always happens as I try to come out of sleep that's lasted for more than some tens of minutes. It sometimes happens when I come out of...
