I had a fully-updated Windows 11 system. Windows Update offered me an update for 24H2. Immediately after (or during) the update I got a blue screen saying Stop code: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. What failed: ntoskrnl.exe. The same screen appears every time I try to reboot. I was able to boot into the recovery screen. I tried booting into Safe Mode, and got the same blue screen. I tried the options to uninstall the latest updates, and got the same blue screen again.The only option I seem to have left is to 'Reset'. I'd rather not do that if there's any other way to resolve the problem.Any other trou Continue reading...

I wanted to mod a game, but after downloading over 5gbs worth of files, my cloud wants me to upgrade to Microsoft 365. The mods folder for the game is located in my documents tab, and I can't change it for the game, nor can I stop it from syncing to OneDrive. I don't want my document files to be synced to my cloud, and I also don't want to buy 365. I tried disabling OneDrive but that got rid of the files until I turned it back on. I was wondering if I could do something about it. Continue reading...

by Guest Rayen Maamary- 0 replies

Hello,I've recently built a new computer, but every few hours my windows will crash, giving me the bugcheck code 0x00000050. I've tried several things, such as making sure the CPU and RAM are properly installed and formatting my drive and reinstalling Windows along with all the drivers. Furthermore, I've run a RAM test on MemTest64, which resulted in 0 errors. I took my CPU and RAM to the merchant, and they could not replicate the error, even under a stress test (albeit they only tried for 30 minutes).I'm unsure what the problem could be. I've linked the minidump file and would greatly apprec Continue reading...

So these last 2 weeks Fortnite and Rainbow 6 siege keep crashing for no apparent reason after about 10 minutes to 1 hour of playing. It doesnt happen with a pattern or anything, some times it crashes after 5 minutes of playing and others after 1.5 hours its just so random and i dont know whats causing it. I tried rolling back drivers since fortnite pops up warning when launching that states that my current drivers has compatibility issues with D3DX12 and it crashes. They recommended 24.8.1 which i tried but still no luck, i went all the way back to 24.5.1 with ddu reinstallations, none worked. Continue reading...
