I had a BSOD pop up, the first on this machine, which indicated this error. I rebooted, and everything runs fine, until I tried to run Skyrim. The game froze during the loading screen, and after a hard re-start, I checked the Event Viewer. There were 1500+ items describing that same error, and...

When I run system health report, it runs, says generating report and then asks me if i want to open or save this file: report.html. If I click on open, a blank page opens in Internet Explorer 8 saying navigation cancelled. The system health report program continues to display generating...

Hello, I am trying to figure out how to permanently disable the "ReadyBoot" feature in Windows 7 x64 (note: I am not talking about ReadyBoost, that's something else!) I've checked out some guides that I found online, such as Link Removed or Link Removed - Invalid URL. But even though they...
