My laptop, an Acer Spin3, came pre-packaged with Windows 10 Home Edition and had upgrades to version 20H2, Build 19042.867. The current problem is that I cannot log into the Administrator account,...

Hi zbook:

The incriminating HD was replaced. It made sense, since it is the oldest drive of the set.

The memory issues will involve replacing at least one pair of RAM sticks (I have four 8's). ...

Hi zbook:

I am confused about your instruction on memtest86+:

You say :

I am not clear on step #4 of your latest post. In your latest post, you don't have a step #16. Do you want me to go through all steps in your post before that?

I am trying this again. I thought this was posted last night.

Antivirus: Windows Defender
Firewall: Windows Defender Firewall

I should have said that the reason the tool didn't write the files is due to permission problems. It was writing to my desktop as Administrator, and I pretty much have a joeuser account (yes it is my...

Specifically, I mean that at seemingly random times when I click, the behaviour is as if a double click occurred.

On my laptop, I also experience unusually slow reboots and occasional system...

After doing what you said, the device is still called model "012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567" by an unknown manufacturer, and its lists as a "Storage Device", connected to USB3. The...

My device appears to be called: 012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567
(not my idea :)). It is rather distressing, actually, and I am suspicious of a virus (I was without antivirus for a...

I tried to install a second time, (the Service Pack 2 version this time) and now the error log is a whole lot shorter. I can give it to you in its entirety:

As I was cleaning the fins on the...

Did another video rendering using Adobe Premiere Elements, and this time, no BSOD. Also, your next test for testing my C: drive (an SSD) turned up nothing under CHKDSK.

I am currently running Memtest86+ 5.01, as suggested, and I am a bit concerned that there is a line that says:
Cores: 1 Active: 1 / 1 total (Run: All)

I in fact have 4 cores, and the top...

The UEFI doesn't tell me the voltage being passed to the PSU. (power supply)
Other voltages which it monitors:

Memtest won't allow me to do more than 4 passes at a time. I have version 6.1.0 (Free) from their website, which was burned onto a CD. I can post 2 photos of 4 passes (4h long with the limited amount...

I hope a damaged cpu is not the case, but something isn't right.

I ran memtest86, which reported 19 errors in specific areas located on one of the DIMMs after 4h (CPUs running in parallel) (tests...

To answer your question, I have not yet had another BSOD, and the 100C issue seems to arise most when I use the "Small FFT" setting, which generates the most heat, reaching 100C in under 5 minutes....

After checking the connections to the CPU fan on the motherboard, it appears as though some connections were reversed.
The CPU fan was connected to a pinout called "CPU OPT", while the "radiator"...
