  1. Is my pc now just a paperweight?


    So, everyone has read about windows 10 BSOD and i now have a £1100 pc i can do nothing with.

    scenario; closed down pc before going to bed. Turned on in the morning and a cycle of BSOD follow by auto reset.

    just one occasion i managed to reset with dos commands. However as soon as i type anything, bang, BSOD.


    Removed graphics card, external hdd, changed ram from working pc and tried a fresh install of windows downloaded from ms onto a usb stick. Changed the bios to load from usb and the pc began to install to a now wiped ssd, then bang, BSOD.

    so now all i have is a hunk of junk with no OS, no way to install it and pretty much like a lot if people highly annoyed!


    So Microsoft, help me understand why i am forced to now look to a new pc or is this dire situation you have created retrievable?

    i look forward to your response.

    :)

  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. Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.

    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:

    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
