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??

 

Locked myself out of my desktop

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

It appears that you've encountered a situation where your desktop has been locked remotely via the "Find My Device" feature on your Microsoft account. Unfortunately, since this is a security measure implemented by Microsoft to protect your device, resolving this issue might require a bit of effort. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you unlock your desktop:

1. Sign In as Administrator:
   
   • You mentioned that you have a laptop as well. If you're signed in as an administrator on that laptop, you can use it to remotely unlock your desktop.
     
2. Connect to the Internet:
   
   • Make sure both your locked desktop and the laptop you're using to unlock it are connected to the internet.
     
3. Microsoft Account:
   
   • On your laptop, go to account.microsoft.com and sign in with the same Microsoft account that you used on the locked desktop.
     
4. Find My Device:
   
   • Navigate to the "Find My Device" section, similar to what you did to lock the device.
     
5. Unlock Your Desktop:
   
   • From the "Find My Device" settings, you should see your locked desktop listed.
     
   • There should be an option to unlock the device. Follow the instructions to unlock it.
     
6. Reboot the Desktop:
   
   • After unlocking the desktop from the Microsoft account settings, reboot the desktop and try signing in.
     
7. Re-Register the Desktop:
   
   • If you've removed your desktop from your devices list, you might need to re-register it after you regain access. You can do this from your Microsoft account settings.
     

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further updates, thanks.
