No, don't think it is sticking, just being held in too long, presumably upsetting some internal eletronic thing

Ok, after all the advice I finally decided to take the PC to a local repair shop to check it out. They updated the BIOS, but could never get the same problem. When I brought it home I almost...

As the problem still arises with both Fast Startups disabled I guess I need to get the PSU and capacitors checked out - any particularly good place to get this done, as it's beyond me?

I am afraid the same problem happened this morning, and here was me hoping that switching off Fast Startup was the answer. As that was not the problem should I switch that back on?

Yes the issue only happened with a cold boot. I have switched off Fast Startup so will see how we go. Thanks.

Thanks NavyLCDR. I understand that, but there is no way I can access my Dad's router and set this up. Suspect he doesn't have the password to access it anyway. I think TeamViewer is the solution I...

Brink, Tried this, but Intel had no drivers for me either. However I looked at Device Manager which says I have a driver280584.

The message at logon ends with confirming that a driver has been...

Brink,

Will that address my first or second problem?.

How do I know which drivers I already have in place? I downloaded a couple of chipset drivers, the PC told me one was older than what I...

I have a disc to load the software from, that came with a camera.

Once installed on the PC,...

Thanks for getting back to me, much appreciated.

Hi everyone, I am David, and don't know much about computers, but would like to know more. Hoping someone can advise on the query I have just posted, but thought I should introduce myself too.

When booting my PC (running Windows 10 Home Version 1809 (OS Build 17763.1158) it seems to use 50% of the disk for up to ten minutes, and everything runs very slow. I ran HD Sentinel and got the...
