Hello,
The basics: Old Laptop (Win 10) died (won't turn on and "kills" any charger I plug into it. Probably something shorting).
New Laptop is Win 11, AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070,...

Sorry for the delay in answering, but there was a death in my family. I like the option of copying my data or using migration software to migrate everything except the OS on the new drive, then...

Hello again,

My new laptop is arriving soon and I want move the SSD boot drive from my old laptop to my new one. I want to keep everything on it except for the OS because the new laptop will have...

Thanks to everyone for your answers. As always, I’m glad to have found this site as it is an invaluable resource with the combined knowledge you all offer.
Thanks again.

Hello, my old laptop is shorting the charger and won’t turn on. I'm long overdue for an upgrade anyway, so I’m getting a new one soon. Since the old one can’t turn on, I can’t use any file transfer...

Help! I'm panicking now. My computer won't start at all. It says "no boot devices founds."

Here's exactly what I did:
I started following your guide.
I thought your instructions were for...

Hi zbook, I'll get started on all that, but why would I be overclocked? This setup is exactly what I ordered from Dell (so stock) without any modifications. It's only recently that the bsod problems...

Hello, here's the V2 report.

Thanks.

Hello, a short while ago there was a major Windows 10 update and a few days after that I got my first ever random blue screen of death on this laptop. The error code was "DPC Watchdog Violation."...

I've had a stable connection for three days now. So, I'm going to mark this as solved.

Thank you to everyone who replied.

I also want to add this in case it's important.

OK, I got Spybot after the problems started because I wanted an extra layer of security. I've uninstalled it now. I reset host file after doing that. Then I disabled ipv6.
The VPN was another thing...

dmholt57: I disabled "turn off to save power" but I could have sworn I had already done that before even though the boxes to do that were checked. Anyway, I also disable fast startup and rebooted as...

Can someone please help with this? My internet has gone back to its usual problems (losing connection all the time) even with Ethernet cable not plugged in. ISP is saying they've checked everything...

I'll try my wife's computer when I get the chance.
My internet speed is 100 mbps (what I pay for), but speedtest usually registers 115-120 (for Ethernet, and just slightly less for WiFi) when...

I've been having increasingly worse internet connectivity issues for a while now. I bought a new computer and it was fixed for about 2 years, but then it started again, exactly as before. Recently it...

I've noticed several people have been posting about similar problems, but there isn't much being offered in help. I've solved my issue and I just wanted to share what and how in case this helps...

Another question: is it possible to disable just that key input, or the entire numpad, to make fixing this problem easier? It's very difficult to do anything at all while this is happening, and other...

It doesn't sound silly, just daunting. Going in to the device manager to uninstall those things would indeed require monk like patience since I'd be fighting the "ghost" every step of the way. OK, so...

Hello all, again.

Two day ago I was notified by my computer to update the BIOS and Chipset drivers. I did so and upon restart the numpad "4" is behaving as though it's being continually pushed by...

Hello,

I'm having issues with internet connectivity. They started back with Win 7, but they disappeared when I upgraded to 10. Now they're back again. Essentially my connection on my laptop...

I'm not sure what more details I can add about the model. It's a Dell Inspiron 7720.

bro67, should I revert to Legacy? The reason I switched it was because I restarted my computer at some point...

I got iolo because I used Tuneup Utilities for years and I was always getting messages about all the stuff it fixed for me automatically. Before the upgrade I Googled to find what's currently the...

I have two: iolo System Mechanic and Norton 360 (the built in startup optimizers for both). I would use only one, but iolo shows entries that don't show up on 360, and the other way around.
