Hello. I built this PC a few months ago and it's been, for the most part, running pretty flawlessly. However, when running one game in particular, FFXIV (being an MMO on max settings, probably one of the most intensive things to run on my system), I have occasionally gotten BSODs. I've had...

In dire need of help. I purchased my pc in parts, Windows7 and gave it to a pc repair guy to build and looked like everything was working fine. Minutes after I got it back i started to download my usual software and it began to get BSOD. I checked for window updates and downloaded them all...

Hi, A year ago I purchased an SSD and Windows 8 for my old pc and it's been running fine. Now however, I'm going to build a new PC, and I want to move Windows 8 back to my old HDD (it was an upgrade on Windows 7 OEM, so I can't move it across to my new PC). How do I go about this? Thanks in...

I have been fighting for sometime getting a new build system to run stable. I seem to get BSOD a lot, and it seems to happen most often when I copy large files. I have never attempted to overclock. I have not installed very much other than MS Office and FSX, but those run fine. OS Name...

It didn't occur to me while digging out my old MSI motherboard for use in my HTPC, but I just checked the download page at MSI for it, and not one of the drivers available are listed as being compatible with Windows 7. In fact, only a couple are listed as being for X64. I know that Windows 7...

I have the problem where my PC is stalling repeatedly at random. I was running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit before, but I formatted and reinstalled Windows today. I have run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware full scans on both my C: Drive and my D: drives after I reinstalled Windows, where I backed up...

Good morning. I can't seem to find a definitive answer to my problem. I selected my motherboard because it was SLI-capable. Unfortunately, when I upgraded from the gtx 580 to the gtx 680 4gb FTW card, I found that it was far thicker than the 580, and now almost completely covers the next slot...

Hey guys! I was wondering if you could help me out with this glitch my tree makes in explorer. Usually I'm able to search for a solution but I need names on the different assets in Explorer to do that. And since I dunno what the "tree" is really called I can't do a proper search. Anyways, I...

Hi Everyone, I know you probably get a billion of these types of topics on here, but I would like to build a new system and I thought I'd come to the Win7 experts this time :) I'll start with the current system I have, which I built about seven years ago... OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit...
