So I have ZERO clue why, but my PC keeps restarting while playing LOUD & BASS HEAVY music (modern hip-hop & rap). This only occurs after turning the volume UP to a certain threshold. The Threshold isn't always the same... but it is only ever while playing LOUD music (So loud you can feel it, I'm using studio monitors and a studio subwoofer, all from KRK).Shouldn't be the PSU, since each speaker is plugged directly into power strips (I have two separate strips plugged into separate outlets). Additionally, each speaker is routed to my Studio Sub, which is routed to my audio interface, wh Continue reading...

Every time I run my laptop without an external monitor plugged in, so only using the built-in display, the laptop would lock up and then eventually blue screen with a DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE. This also happens if I try to restart or shut down the laptop without an external monitor connected or put the device to sleep. This makes it impossible to use the laptop without another monitor plugged in or even shut down the laptop without holding down the power button and forcing it to power off.When the blue screen is about to naturally occur, when no external monitor is connected, the trackpad on Continue reading...

Basic BitLocker questions are as follows.Laptop system consists of 4 SSD drives. The OS and Programs are on one drive and the other drives contain data.1.

Hello,Recently I have bought a new computer from Dell with Windows 11. I play video games and do school work which requires me to have both a functioning headphone and mic. Since my computer has a mixed audio and mic input on the front panel, I decided to buy headphones with a mic built in. The headphones audio worked perfectly fine, however, its microphone could not be detected by my computer. I've attempted uninstalling the driver and device, restarting my computer, unplugging my headphones, troubleshooting, and online strategies. Unfortunately, my attempts sadly failed and still my computer Continue reading...

Hi! Everytime I open my laptop, it has a bluescreen with options Troubleshoot or Turn of your PC. I tried fixing it by watching tutorials. I noticed that the tutorials have different options other than troubleshoot or turn off your pc. They sometimes have the option continue to windows 10 and restart your pc, something like that. I have tried every option inside the troubleshoot like startup repair that says it couldn't repair my pc, system restore, etc. I would like to send images for you guys to further analyze the problem if possible. Thanks! Continue reading...

A few days ago my Calculator program just decided to stop working. It gave some sort of an issue where it suggested I redownload it from the store.I found this strange as a week ago the program was working just fine. So I tried to open the Microsoft Store only to find that it won't open. I can search for it in my search bar. It shows up. But when I click on it . . . nothing happens.So I decide to reset the Calculator app after looking around at online forums. Now the calculator program doesn't even give me an error pop-up box. It's acting exactly the same as the Microsoft Store app in that it Continue reading...

Hello, I am having an issue activating windows on my pc after a motherboard change. I am pretty sure I have windows linked to my account as I have changed motherboards before in the past and kept my windows activation. I don’t remember the exact product key. I can’t seem to sign in with my account on any Microsoft application as I keep getting error codes. It will just say something went wrong. For example: sign into windows store, choose account, something went wrong 0x800700e Continue reading...

Display tablet is Parblo 10 (Please no "get a newer one" advice, I can't afford a new one right now), issues started after last night's update. The display DOES work, but the moment I change tabs one too many times OR put my pen on it (which defeats its purpose) it causes both screens to start flickering and eventually it stops detecting the display and turns it off; HOWEVER, pen function remains intact in the main monitor.I have so far:Rebooted the PC several timesUninstalled and reinstalled all associated drivers (https://support.parblo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360005109973-Coast10-Driver)Unins Continue reading...

So, i installed the Windows ADK kit for a college project and forgot about it for the rest of the semester. When going through files on my PC to delete programs I dont use I came across the "WinPE_amd64" folder and tried to delete it since I know I didnt download it for my own use. However, it claimed it needed permission to delete. Then I figure I could use Control Panel to delete it. I found the Windows ADK program and tried to delete it, but it said the WimMountADKSetupAmd64.exe file could not be found. In truth I may have accidentally deleted when purging files. Is it still possible for me Continue reading...
