    Windows 7 fails to start after updates installed.

    Apparently this is also a known issue with Windows 10 and anyone running a G3258. Tons of threads online about this. Whereas with W7 you can simply uninstall the update, the code is apparently built in to W10 and many are reporting they can't even install the OS. The only solution I am...

    Windows 7 fails to start after updates installed.

    Yes, you were exactly right! Disabled 1 core and it booted up. Found KB3064209, uninstalled it, restart, activated both cores, and now boots up fine. Many thanks.

    Windows 7 fails to start after updates installed.

    Yeah, I just did the same thing, except the upgrade to 10. I've been holding off as I'm reluctant to give up 7. However, I do have multiple legit copies of 7, so maybe I will sacrifice one for the free upgrade to 10.

    Windows 7 fails to start after updates installed.

    Briefly says "starting Windows", but then the screen flashes and displays "Windows failed to start". If I select "start normally" the cycle just repeats and repeats and I never get to the log-in page. Startup repair fails every time and can't fix the problem. If I go into advanced...

    Dual boot Windows 7 issues.

    I have tried to run 2 copies of windows 7 on separate HDDs, but now I can only boot from the newer, recently added HDD. The original HDD is still assigned boot priority on startup, but now the USB keyboard and mouse both die on the Windows welcome screen. Legacy USB is enabled in bios. If...

    Virgin Mobile: how to get wifi hotspot?

    I have this old LG Optimus V, using the 3G Virgin Mobile network. Android version 2.2.2. Is there no way to use this phone as a wifi hotspot? I have looked at numerous youtube videos showing people downloading apps to do this, but I can never get any of them to work. Any information, or...

    Mobile computing ruining desktop experience.

    I guess this was inevitable. I believe something like 50% of casual web users are now using touchscreen/mobile devices now. Microsoft is now basing their operating systems primarily for touchscreen devices, with desktops an afterthought. More and more websites are redesigning their layout...

    Is 1 BSOD cause for concern?

    About a month into my new build I got a BSOD while playing BF3. It has not happened since in the past 2 days. Should I worry about this, or just monitor the situation? Specs: MSI H81 mobo Pentium Haswell OCed to 4.1ghz (have backed down to 3.9) 8GB 1333 RAM WD 500GB HDD Windows...

    Windows expereince index misleading?

    I get a 7.7 for "3D business and gaming graphics performance" running a little R7 260x. Seems high for such a modest card, but then again I have no idea how windows measures the performance or what the criteria is.

    Am I playing with people using consoles too?

    Is that because consoles aren't x86? Or are they?

    Am I playing with people using consoles too?

    Dumb question, but I'm just curious if when I play Battlefield multiplayer online (using PC) is everyone else also on PC or am I playing with/against console users too?
