For some reason my computer is making this whirrling noise and I don't know why. It only started this time when turning my computer on. I have hp coolsense on but don't want to turn it off as my computer might begin overheating. It comes from the top left hand corner of the second half of the...

So I got a laptop a year ago for my birthday with Windows 8 installed on it. [you might recognize this post. I'm ExecutedNebula. I made a new account because I forgot my password.] It was a beautiful HP Pavillion and very good price. I had the "usual" files: Google Chrome, Steam games, and...

My Acer computer has recently been telling my computer is not a genuine version of Windows 7. I searched up on how to fix this problem, and almost every post suggested I run cmd with an admin. So, I did so by clicking on "cmd", then clicking "Run as Admin". Then, I did what the website told me...

I've been out of the PC market for a long time. Right now, I've got an old, assembled AMD/ASUS desktop from 2007, which my dad bought and helped me build for personal use. It's been running XP ever since and I've painfully upgraded the hardware over time. More recently, I've used Windows 7 at...

For years I have been the "go-to" guy for fixing friends and family's computers, which usually were desktops (which i could rip open and replace the hardware in). lately a majority of the issues that i have had to address were laptop issues. while a lot of issues can be fixed with some sort of a...

Hello all, I have a Dell Inspiron 17 3721 which I recently purchased in an auction from Ebay. It came with Windows 8. The problem I'm facing with this laptop is that the computer works fine for the first 5minutes and then afterwards, the touchpad doesn't get clicked on any icon or a windows and...

I don't know where to go to get a windows 7 instal disk, at least without paying an absurd amount. I contacted microsoft and they told me because it was beyond the warranty it would cost over $32 after a shipping of ~$5. Please someone help. I don't want to spend 1/3 the cost of an entire...

Hi all, I've been having some problems with my laptop recently. I have Windows 8 installed on an Acer V3-571g and about a week ago I started to get BSOD with two errors KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR and CRITICAL_PROCESS DIED. After playing around with sfc/scannow etc, I decided to completed reset...

The internet on my laptop is randomly extremely slow on wifi. For instance, when I run a speed test, the download speed will be around 15 Mbps which is normal performance and a few minutes later will not even crack 1 mbp. No other computer on my network is as slow as this. I'm posting from my...

I've built this computer within the last month, though in the past couple weeks I've been getting weird BSoD errors that have recently been getting more frequent. Yesterday and today I've been getting BSoDs with error code 7a, and I'm thinking that it's a problem with the SSD's flash memory...

I am not complaining but, I did find out something about a new laptop I bought at the end of 2012. I have upped my fios speed from 35megabits download, to 50, and finally 75megabits download speed. I found one day the computers wireless speed when looking at the wireless adaptor under...

The drive in my HTPC failed and I'm going to RMA it. Nothing unusual about that, but with this one I can't find a way to access it for data erasure prior to shipping, and that bothers me. The system partition doesn't contain anything too sensitive...that I remember, but it does have additional...

Since it appears that my old camera has gone partially inop, I'm thinking of buying another. However I used the old one so little, that I didn't learn much that is of use in buying something else. I want one that is reliable as possible with a good warranty of a good name brand, at a price of...

It appears that this UPS is failing, because it has started rapidly switching back and forth, between the status of being on AC and on battery. I've checked the power connection, and the AC itself is normal, so I need to RMA it. However, for some reason, the copy of the sales receipt I had...

I made of a clone 6 months or so ago of my sisters laptop HDD because it was going it for service and I knew they would be wiping it. We got the laptop back and it has a new HDD that is a clean install and I need to clone the backup that is on an external drive back to the new one. The laptop...

Another of my WDC drives is biting the dust (WD30EZRX)...not that it seems to matter what the model is, because I've now owned a number of WDC drives, and none of them has lasted through their warranty period. It seems to be becoming a vicious RMA circle. The drive that I'm now having to...
