I'll try to omit complicated, exotic, or out of Windows cases.



A physical disk will always have 1 or more partitions. In Windows Vista, XP and before, Windows by default installs using only...

There isn't anything about it here Licensing Policy - Knowledgebase 8.0 - Macrium Reflect Knowledgebase . I have one of those packs. The four licenses have different activation keys, unlike other...

What about this case? I think myself it's stylish (I had kind of the same problem 2-3 years ago, although I live in Spain and I needed a "classic midtower" for full ATX size instead). Does it improve...

First off, it's quite likely that the files are in another folder or in the Recycle Bin. By default, Windows "deletes" moving to the Recycle Bin and prompts for confirmation. The direct deletion with...

Is it normal that in the screenshot of post #8 there's an Active partition outside the main disk (E: in Disk 2). It's the only Active partition. Just guessing, the MBR bootloader might be there...

The /s parameter is specifically to mount the EFI partition ( https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/mountvol /s Mounts the EFI system partition on the...

Is it repeatable through a clean install of Windows? (you've said "complete") If so I'd suspect about a software incompatibility. From failing hw I'd expect less specific symptoms, specially after a...

fwiw I don't have a mount option in my *.iso files right-click menu either.

I also think it's time for the logs now.

Temps/stability relationship isn't "mathematical", sometimes you see a clear relation (you put better cooling and stability improves or gets fixed),...

Next time video goes off while in Windows, try pressing Ctrl-Shift-Win-B, what in theory restarts the graphics driver, sometimes it works sometimes not. Does the computer seem to be working despite...

Maybe it has to do with the mains power quality. Does it happen to other computers in the zone? Do you notice light flickers?

I use (cheapish) surge protectors myself, in a place with top quality...

"limited by the motherboard" and by the processor, unless you overclock its memory interface but you don't have a good motherboard for it. You've got 2 things that you didn't have though, more RAM...

According to this link from the maker Crucial Pro 16GB DDR4-3200 UDIMM | CP16G4DFRA32A | Crucial.com there's only one XMP with 3200 22-22-22, so Idk why does your BIOS offer 2 XMPs (and wondering if...

Are you meaning 6am or 7am? (although neither of the two options is very clearly "during night" specially 1 month off an equinoxe). 6pm-7pm wouldn't be too off the day's maximum temp time specially...

Do you know what "Device Manager" is? I think you're filtering all my questions about what does Device Manager show. I'd guess that you've fixed the lack of drivers problem or at least the Device...

I haven't seen those errors before, but I've been looking for them in the net now and it seems that you don't have drivers for your motherboard USB. If so I would expect that Device Manager shows...

Dude When you o/c RAM you're also overclocking the processor, not its main frequency (unless you're doing it too) but its RAM interface/spec/bus/controller... For instance, if a processor with RAM...

Do you have a "routine" to turn on the PC and the monitor? I like turning on the monitor first and waiting until it ends its routine with end in powersaving state. My Lenovo one displays an own...

Have you tried using your wired mouse in Windows? What does Device Manager tell about your USB ports? I also suggest USBDeviceTreeViewer and/or USBDeview, which can show details about what happens...

I believe that CleanMgr limits itself to ancient enough files (1 month iirc). It's safe to delete everything that's not in use or anything, but I like to see what I'm deleting. For instance in my W11...

I think you should research about the BIOS, I'm not used to branded computers and a BIOS to allow just "aftermarket modules" is a bit strange to me. With my aftermarket motherboards, BIOSes versions...

In short, I think the problem is the processor_memory-controller specs (2667 MHz). It could also be this:

( There is a bios update...

I think this is the CMOS battery. Is Windows set to use Internet time? Double or multiple booting wouldn't strange me with low battery, although there might also be an independent instability issue....

Afaik, x64 mode ("long mode") cannot run 16 bits software because it lacks the Virtual86 mode that 32 bits mode has "inside", so it's a hw constraint (that said I've had Vista 32 bits and it run 16...

Have you checked the BIOS boot order? If the BIOS puts your new HDD prior to your SSD in booting order I'd expect a message similar to "please insert a bootable drive and press any key...", but I...
