Is there a good/reliable reference on how to interpret these reports? Good ol' Google has been giving me wildly different opinions.....

I inherited a WD Red 6TB drive that is not initialized. When trying to initialize using Disk Management, I get a cyclic redundancy check error. Ran the WD Data LifeGuard Diagnositc test and the following SMART event log is shown: Would this be the potential cause of why I can't initialize the...

I have a bluetooth headset connected to my PC (Win 10) and my understanding is that you either have stereo sound and no mic (i.e. headphone profile) or mono sound with a mic (i.e. headset profile), because to low bandwidth issues with bluetooth v4.0 (source...

Deleted the above-mentioned reg key, but didn't solve it for me

Tried this; same problem, unfortauntely.

You're right, I spoke too soon. Just re-booted, and I'm back to square one.

I made the mapping persistent and it seemed to have resolved the issue! Thank you so much! I find it a bit odd I've been using this NAS setup for about 6 years and although I did occasionally get the above errors, they would just go away randomly. This time they wouldn't go away and occurred...

I have a Synology DS214se running the latest firmware (6.2.3-25426 Update 2) and I've been having some issues accessing my mapped drive via my desktop (connected via ethernet). I have mapped 4 drives to 4 different folders on my NAS. I will startup my computer and none of the drivers are...

Testing out a new build; R5 3600 with MSI rtx 2070 super ventus in a fractal design define mini c (1x120 mm intake, and 1x 120 mm exhaust). I've noticed GPU temps are 80-83C within 10 minutes of playing Fornite according to MSI . From what I've read, this isn't grounds for RMA (although I'm...

On the initial setup, everything was preset to "Auto" which set the speed at 2133. System crashed once, which led to testing. I thought maybe it was crashing due to the underclock, so I set to the XMP profile #1 3200 Mhz, timing was set per RAM spec, and V was at 1.35. Re-tested, same errors.

Looking to update the BIOS on my ASRock b450M Pro4. I've never had to flash/update a BIOS before, and I know it always comes with scary warnings about permanent damage. Just wondering how often this actually happens if you've followed all the correct steps from the manufacture. If it makers...

I am planning on building a new system with Ryzen 7 3700X and B450 (either ASRock B450M Pro or MSI B450M Pro-M2) and I've read about the requirement to updated BIOS to support the new Zen2. I'm not sure if this question makes sense, but is there a way to check what BIOS version I will get...

Thankfully, yes it did. Used to freeze up every 5-7 minutes. No issues now.

Awesome, thanks for the help everyone! Removed the heat sink, removed and re-applied new TIM.Now running 30s with normal use and 45 gaming.

I have been having issues with frequent freezing while playing Divinity: Original Sin 2. I've uninstalled/re-installed the game and updated video drivers. I've tested the memory with Memtest, with no errors. My next step was to look at operating temperatures. I used GPU-Z, and I noticed that my...
