Just venting, but I got a Dell Optiplex 760 desktop planning to upgrade & haven’t been able to afford anything. It’s old but still very poor excuse for a PC. Constant issues with it & cant fix missing NIC controller or whatever it’s called. This is so fkn dumb.

Not tested on Windows 2000.
But if I attempt starting a working XP/Vista/7/8/10 HDD via VirtualBox or a different PC, I can only access the boot menu.
Even safe mode results into BSOD.

Occasionally when I'm using my PC, my headphones will no longer produce any bass. The sound is very flat, and empty. I've tested the headphones on other PC's and on my phone, and they produce a full-bass sound on those devices. Just not on my home Windows 7 PC. I've also tried different...

I deleted it, but it kept reappearing, regardless of how many times I got rid of it.
After some research, I decided to see if there was a system...

Ugh... So, I'm having major issues with my PC freezing up a lot. I even tried reinstalling Windows 10 and it worked great for about 2 hours before freezing up again. I figure there must be some kind of trojan downloading stuff to my PC. This is strange because I formatted the drive twice before...

One of my computers did the creators update and now refuses to print. It is a Dell Optiplex 3040 and the printer is an HP Color Laserjet CP2045.
I worked great until the update. I have removed the printer and reinstalled it several times but I get no response from the printer at all.
Hi, when I turned my pc off last night it did a windows update. Now this morning it won’t start at all. I press the power button and nothing happens. Other plugged in items are working. I’ve looked inside and it looks fine. I’ve tried switching plugs and using another power supply cable from...
