  1. I'm locked out . . .


    I was removing the password from the login,lock screen. But, during the process, I somehow deleted my account. Stupid of me!Now, I'm locked out of my computer. When, I put in my password, it says, try again.

    To reset my password, it says I need a DVD drive. But, it's a Dell. They have no DVD
    drive. They do everything with USB drives. I do have another Dell, which is what,
    I'm using now. But, this computer was a replacement. And, I have to send it back.
    But, I need to get that computer fixed first. It's a catch 22. I'm locked out?

    In the state, the computer is in, would their be anyway to get it to reset? I have
    everything backed up to a USB drive. So, wiping it would me OK.


    I can create a Windows 10 installation, on a USB drive, if that would help? I remember

    before, when I reset a computer, it just did it thru the WiFi cloud. So, please tell me you have an idea, on how I can fix this?


    Thanks for reading . . . Jerry

  2. Pentium M

    Not sure what I'm looking at. Though when I do go to Options and then CPU it lists my CPU
    as Intel Pentium M processor 1.73 GHz, and then under that it lists speed: 799.9 MHz
    and then features and cache size.I ran the benchmark test and don't understand all
    those numbers, but while testing I checked CPUZ and it still says it is running at 800 MHz.

  3. 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??
