When I hit the "F2" key to boot, it is forever stuck at the initializing system diagnostics screen. I tried running it in safe mode as well. Am I going about this wrong?

Hello. Now I have two internal HDDs and one IDE 160GB and one SATA 2 500GB. I'll buy (for personal reasons) one SATA 3 of 1 TB. Questions: 1. Given that my motherboard only supports SATA 2, I'll be able to use (certainly not at the highest performance) the 1 TB HDD? 2. Do you recommend that...

I literally have no clue why or how did this happen. One day, I got home and boot up my laptop to finish a project for school. Then, while the Windows boot screen was loading, it suddenly flashed the BSOD and rebooted. I am quite experienced with these kind of problems. Sometimes, an error like...

Hello all, After 5 years of use, my college laptop (Windows Vista) finally gave up on me a couple of months ago. Each time at start up, it would automatically go to the blue screen of death and never get past that point. I wound up getting a new laptop (ASUS S500CA) operating on windows 8, and...
