    Anyone Had This Problem With 10?

    It was an upgrade from a clean install of W7. The time zone was correct and the time had been correct until all of a sudden when it was 12 hours ahead. I am going to see how well it works out with the original HD. It was a 1TB WD and the other is a 240 GB Crucial SSd. Thanks for the replies...

    Anyone Had This Problem With 10?

    I have 10 Pro on a Dell laptop, quad-core with 12 GB of Ram. Last night, I noticed the time was 12 hours off. I went to adjust date and time and had to turn off auto set time so I could set the correct time. After setting it, I turned the auto set back on. The laptop locked up so badly the...

    Dual booting and windows 7 problem

    I am a little late to the party, but here is my take on this. I just went through the same thing. I went into the bios and turned off UEFI and that took care of the problem. I do understand some motherboards don't have the option to turn it off though. Smitty

    Here's a new one for you!!!!

    I knew there was one person on here smart enough to figure it out!!!! The large fan was facing up in with less than 1/4 inch from the top of the case and the air flow through the psu was not enough to carry away the heat. The psu was a 500 watt with plenty of amps on the rails.

    Here's a new one for you!!!!

    It was not a Powermax, but just as bad, Dynex!!!! But that was not what caused the problems. Any more guesses?

    Here's a new one for you!!!!

    Had nothing to do with the pins or plugs. I still want to see if anyone can guess what was really wrong.

    Here's a new one for you!!!!

    I have a friend's computer that had a bad hard drive back in Sept. I put in a new one and just a few days ago, he called me and the hard drive had failed again. I put in another one and was tweaking the OS and all of a sudden, I got the BSOD. The computer would not boot and I did get the bad RAM...

    Netbook with very small, low-res screen

    I had one of those netbooks several months ago. If I remember correctly, there was an option somewhere, probably in desktop properties, to change the resolution to 800 X 600. Then if something was off the bottom of the screen, you could just scroll and see all of it. Good Luck Smitty
