pc performance

I upgraded to windows 10, but for some reason a large amount of my ram is being used as well. I start up my pc at 70% some times. I have 8gb of ram. Also, if i were to downgrade back to 8.1, would the ram still get consumed as much? Regedit, going to NDU and then to start and changing it to 4...

So, I made a thread like this a while ago which was basically the same problem but I found a solution to it, which was a firmware upgrade on the router, but this time there is no firmware upgrade and I tried many things to try to solve it.

Good evening, Have just completed a while ago, the above program. No idea really as to why I ran that particular program. I was simply looking for ideas as to perhaps give my newish PC a shot in the arm as it had become rather sluggish over the 5 months I have had it. Being a retired old...

I dont know how else to explain it.... other than I think my computer is in HEAT ! For the past two weeks, Ive been experiencing a problem with what sounds like the same sound you get from when you unplug a USB device- that sorta like a “ding dong” sound that happens in Windows 7. Sometimes...

I changed the windows theme by unpatching. And the laptop usually pops up the message that bitmap fails to load every time I start up windows. Ever since I let the laptop update on shutdown, window's been running really slowly. It takes a long time for the start menu, folders, and programs to...

I keep reading things like this all the time. But, one thing that keeps popping up every time; is Windows 8 lack of a start button (really) as there are plenty of choices, and the use of the so called two os's in one. You can use one or the other you know. So, what's the big deal? In none of...

I have a question about a desktop workstation I purchased from Dell. The PC in question is a Dell OptiPlex 580 which came with an OEM installation of Windows 7 Pro x64. Please bear with the length of my post, and forgive me if I am not posting this in the correct forum. I’m not sure if there is...
