I am trying to add another SSD to my PC, but it shows up in Disk Manager as 'Unallocated' without a drive letter, and there is no option to initialize the disk available. Instead, Windows gives me the option to convert it to an MBR or a Dynamic disk, and if I chose either it is simply replaced...

Hello, I just bought myself a new Dell Inspiron 15 7559. I added a 250 GB SSD then migrated the OS to the SSD and set up the original mechanical drive as storage. This is a great setup. It's fast like crazy. But then a few days later I noticed a short crackling sound that happens about every 5...

Dear all, Thank you for reading this. Recently I've been getting a lot of BSOD's. To be more specific the "critical_process_died" one stuck at 0% so no dump file.
