Hello, here is all the info required! Hope you can help me find a solution. Thanx in advance!

When you defrag your computer you can hear the hard drive running as it changes files back and forth. At times I can hear the same sound (or similar) but have no clue what it can possibly be doing. My 1st instinct is to unplug my internet connection should someone be hacking in my PC and using...

For roughly the past two months I have been having recurring BSODs which point to various files as the culprit (mainly ntoskrnl.exe though nvvad64v.sys has also turned up more than once, and dxgmms1.sys and hiber_amdsbs.sys have also cropped up). I don't always get a BSOD, however. Sometimes...

Here's the issue. My microphone was working about 20 minutes before I posted this. I went into recording devices to enable system sounds so that I could play a song through Skype and system sounds weren't there. I disabled my microphone to see if that'd make it re-appear, but it did not...

I'm having random CPU spikes that I notice because the fans of my laptop start up. This has happened while browing the web, chatting through skype, using photoshop and sometimes while idling even. This laptop is new (a month and a half old), 8GB RAM, drivers up to date. Those programs should...
