  2. PC Build Steps

    Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval
    • Install system in case
      • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
    • Turn on PC
    • setup HDD
    • run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
      • run realtemp at the same time
    • While in Prime95 test
      • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
      • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
      • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!
    What do you guys think??

  3. Unable to login to the PC

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand how it feels when the PC doesn’t work the way it is supposed to. For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the questions below.



    1. What is the error message you receive when you try to login to the PC?
    2. Are you aware of any changes made to the PC prior to which you weren’t facing this issue?
    3. Are you using a local account or a Microsoft account to login to the PC?


    If you are using a Microsoft account then I would suggest you to try resetting the password of the PC and see if you are able to login. Refer the article

    How to reset your Microsoft account password




    If you are using a local account on the PC, then you can refer the article

    Reset your Windows 10 local account password




    Note: The article talks about resetting the PC. It is not advised to reset the PC if you don’t have the backup of the data.



    You can also try booting the PC into safe mode and see if you are able to login. Refer the article

    Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10




    If the issue persist, please get back to us with the results of the troubleshooting steps to assist you further.

    Can't login to my windows 10 PC

    Hi,

    Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.


    • Are you trying to login to Microsoft account or local account?

    • If its Microsoft account are you able to login using the web interface?
    I suggest you to use the on-screen keyboard and try to login. Follow the steps below:

    Click on the Ease of Access icon at the right bottom of the screen and select On-screen keyboard and check if issue persists.

    Please get back to us with the results of the above instructions.
