It might be the CMOS battery specially if the clock is accumulating delay between sessions/resets.

You could also try with less memory, 2 modules if you have four. Memory testing doesn't always...

Upon clicking on the link from Spain I get a localized result with "crucial" info: (...

Does this limit depend on the motherboard or the processor? Is it a "hard digital limit" (imposed by the sizing or whatever of some structure, no way to go further) or is it analog (capacitive load,...

I'm not expert but I'll try to help.

The most normal clone procedure is:

1) Clone disk.
2) Replace drive.
3) Boot from the target drive, to check it or to replace the source permanently.
4)...

Card readers can have different behaviours with the letters. I've two, both internal, USB connected (to internal USB connectors) and in different computers. One is very ancient, it's USB2, it belongs...

The system started with 7 partitions including 2 with letter, the other 5 didn't have letter in Windows. Now, Linux accident apart, it's w/o extra EFI or Recovery partitions, 4 partitions total, 2...

I suppose the sockets in your computer's back and your plugs are TRS. RCA is very different. The former is for stereo signals, the latter for mono and you'd require two (some speakers sets have this,...

Whatever is happening to your current disk, did you discover it going to Event Viewer? Did you notice some other symptom or error before and then you went to Event Viewer? Which was that symptom or...

Just to clear this, ErP is an European Union norm that says that any turned off device should not consume more than 0.5W. S4 is hibernation and S5 is shut down, any of which are "device turned off"....

WHEA stands for Windows Hardware Error Architecture. All I know about this is what I've researched just now, but it seems that some hardware errors can be caught and trigger a WHEA BSOD. The codes...

I believe I had to do the aforementioned reinstalls for having changed the computer names from their stock ones assigned by Windows to others of my taste, although I'm not sure. Under W11 I was able...

Mine is an ancient (2012) HP with scanner in perfect state and with refurbished cartridges (official ones aren't made anymore) that has USB and RJ45. It's connected via USB to one computer and via...

I had a somewhat comparable issue 1 or 2 years ago. Differences: my system was a lot more ancient than this, good quality parts specially m/b but no debug leds, and besides somewhat intermittent my...

I think both cards have developed a failure in the wear levelling mechanism. If so, both cards are broken, the same as if other inner part had broken instead.

Wear leveling - Wikipedia EEPROM and...

To check the new power cord, see manual page 8 (it's a pdf in the page linked above, that selects the user language). If the behaviour of the LED is okay (at least the part that depends on the power...

I don't agree with having to use your tools at least once per week, or otherwise throw them away. I like to have resources. For instance I've bought an external USB floppy drive, although it isn't my...

As for interfaces, your USB 3.2 gen2 (aka USB 3.1 gen2) (1212 MB/s) (*) is superior to SATA3 and eSATA3 (600 MB/s). Imo your best SATA3 option is internal, despite the "clutter".

(*) Bear in mind...

I don't understand this. Obviously you know what is connected, specially in the front. Are you meaning a software failure?

As for the hardware part of it or if the problem is 100% hardware, an...

Thanks, good to know, ImgBurn it seems but I prefer it so.

I used to sleep my desktop computers (all different and ancient) to S1, w/o paying much attention. I had an age in which one or two of them (for sure my W10 system) slept to S3, which looks very...

I doubt a fan problem can cause the freezes, but the gfx card might be getting some periodic extra work that involves accelerating the fan. It could involve the PSU fan too. I've understood that the...

I believe it can be for hw instability or graphics driver issue. Have you tried ctrl-shift-win-B? It restarts the graphics driver under Windows 10 or 11.

Years ago and in other OSs like Windows...
