Hi guys, I have a PC that's being a little glitchy. So far in some applications I get the error code 0xc0000005. I can't seem to find the dump file though. I've tried searching by filetype, manually looking through all of the Windows sub-folders, but I can't find the minidumps. The first step...

I Just had to replace my motherboard and power supply due to my old PSU dying (and you know that it is rare that the PSU dying doesn't kill the MOBO or something else). Now it is just randomly shutting down (without a BSOD sadly). Sometimes it is just random, just sometimes it is either during...

Okay, well here is my new issue. In Windows 8 I started just getting BSOD's for random reasons, meaning the cause or error code, whatever that thing is called is always something different. I'v been trying to find the root of the cause for sometime now but I can't narrow it down. Here are my...

Hi, So my system just crashes randomly, or whenever I try to play a game (CS:GO/F1 2012), I get about 20-30s after running the game before it crashes. I say crashes as it doesn’t show me the BSoD screen, it just goes black and the sound stays the same at whatever the current note was, so its a...

So I've recently built myself a pc, and since have been having issues with a BSOD while in game in MW3 from anywhere between 10 minutes and a couple of hours of game play, and once in MW2 after a little bit (forgot the time period). I originally had my OS on my 2tb HDD, and since have put in...

So, after reviewing countless forum posts over the past year plus, I finally decided to post my own problem here with hopes someone smarter than I can determine why my Win7 box has been crashing randomly for some time. Saga below... Built the box in Dec 2010. Worked like a champ for some...

Can I run it turbo mode all the time, if I am not using the battery? Or can I increase the low gig. mode from 1197 gig. to say 1500 gig. ? I so seldom use the battery, so I can imagine that being a problem. Also, I read something about leaving the battery out, if I use it outside on a warm...

I have had no problems with my VM Vector Holiday edition 2010 until now. Only modifications were 1) addition of OSZ SSD (6 months ago), 2) upgrade of video card (2 months ago) [3) new logitech keyboard/mouse 2 months ago.] Crashes started today, first in Skyrim, and then during normal use...

Alright, so this is the deal - I have a not-that-bad-but-really-still-horrible computer from Dell with a GPU that can barely run most of the games you see today. I'm thinking "Hey, why not push it up just a bit, just until I get a new computer?"... I've seen one or two other people who have...

Hi, So Ive now been getting random BSODs on my desktop for a month now, and was troubleshooting the problem all this time. Finally, to out rule any corrupt/conflicting drivers I freshly reinstalled windows (which didnt help though). Since this reinstall, however, no more dump files are created...

Well... I am thinking of buying a graphics card for a new build. I am thinking along the lines of a HD 7770. I know this card is a solid overclocker and packs lots of new technologys such as ZeroCore. But it sometimes gets beaten by the HD 6850. I am still leaning towards the 7770 because of the...

Hi, since about 1 month my PC turns randomly off. Sometimes after 10 hours, sometimes after 2. Mostly when in Idle or when i'm watching movies on a second Monitor (TV but it also crashes if it is unplugged so thats not the reason). Sometimes when i try to boot again it wont start except if i...

Hey guys, been having a problem for awhile and have not been able to figure out a solution on my own, and this seemed like a good place to reach out. Recently I switched out the motherboard in my set up, and did a clean install of Windows 7. I'm not 100% sure when it started, but sometime...
