If you are reading this post than you already know the answer: neither Sony nor NVIDIA have given you the blessing to install Windows 7 64 bit. So officially it is not approved or supported by booth companies. Well then, the question is can you do it? The answer is yes, absolutely! Will there...

I had this problem for few weeks now. I set windows to hibernate at night then next morning the power turned on my itself. I can't find out what waked it. I have turned off automatic windows update, maintenance, wake from network adapter. still the same. how to solve this problem?

Some weeks ago I made a reinstall of my Win7 Home Premium x64 (a Dell M1330 with 4gb RAM). After then, my machine starts having random BSOD errors when going or recovering from sleep or hibernate mode. The error is a DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE, with code 0x0000009f. I attach here the info...

G'day everyone, Just a quick question. I've noticed that when I leave my pc for some time and the screen savers come on, then the screens go blank (my machine doesn't sleep or hibernate) when I use the pc again I can see that during the time the monitors had turned off, the CPU usage was at...

Hi sorry about his probably familiar type of first post from a non expert who badly needs some help.I have just been given a Fujitsu Lifebook S6540 running windows 7 and on the whole it is fine but it is eating the battery when switched off. Research on the internet has shown that the computer...

I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium SP 1 64-bit on a HP 620 (just a year old). Lately, whenever I return to the laptop having left it alone for some time (Power Management set to 'Sleep' after 10 mins), and try to resume, I can hear the it resuming (fans etc.), however, the screen remains...

Hi! I have a new HP laptop with Win7 x64 installed on. When I close the laptop it should go to sleep mode, so when I would open it and turn it on, it should start normally. Instead, it gives me a message screen, where it asks if I want to start Windows in safe mode or start windows normally. It...
