windows 10 After updating some drivers my pc boots up into a black screen and I can't access windows
by Guest AronHun- 0 replies

Like I said I updated some drivers on my PC and after restarting it booted up into a black screen with a 99 in the bottom right corner. From my research this is a motherboard error. I would go through bios but I can't get past the black screen and Windows Safe Mode isn't working either. I've tried resetting the motherboards CMOS battery, didn't work. It's not the HDMI or anything else physical I don't think, since the PC had been running fine for years before. Only thing that changed was software wise. These are my specks:CPU: AMD A4-5300 3.4 GHz Dual-Core Processor Memory: Kingston KVR16 Continue reading...

I did not update anything, just shut down my computer as usual. The next day when I woke up it did not register an ethernet network. I was able to fix that and it worked fine until the next day when It would show up as a network but not give me any connection. I was able to fix that as well and then I put my computer to sleep to try and avoid this happening again. I am unsure as to what exactly fixed it on the previous days but today nothing worked.

Hello, my most daily task is editing and checking a lot of multimedia files; most of them are audio files, but my Windows Explorer, after checking a few files, is getting frozen and dumped. Every task that I opened is working normally, only the taskbar and the "windows" are frozen, and I can't Alt+Tab to switch to another app. I can't delete the dump file, it's always stuck. I've tried to restart, but it's still the same after checking a few files. I need another way to fix or restart ALL THE FILE EXPLORER because I've tried every way that I can find on the internet, even killing it with Termi Continue reading...

I have a custom built gaming PC that has recently been blue screening randomly and it seems completely unprompted. It happens when I'm in the middle of a game, or when I'm working on a Word document with Spotify playing, or when I'm browsing google chrome with nothing else open. I don't know what could be causing it.The error I get is always "KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED"I recently had an issue where my computer would BSOD with the same error every time I woke it up from sleep mode. I got a warranty replacement for my RAM and that fixed that issue. These BSODs seem to be caused by something els Continue reading...

Hi, I'm really struggling with my pc at the moment as the internet speed (I use ethernet and don't have the option for wireless connection) is so slow that something like simply watching a youtube video is difficult.

I have tried updating new drivers, resetting my router numerous times and tried looking up lots of different solutions but I can't figure out how to fix this. For reference using fast.com it gave me a speed of 1.3 mbps on my PC while my p Continue reading...
