Windows 10: Off Topic for Windows 10: Working on a computer for a friend.

This is off topic for Windows 10. But a friend called me asking me to get help on fixing her dad's HP Pavilion Slimline PC with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

I had to reinstall Windows 7.

It has crashed twice now. I tested the hardware (hard disk, memory, etc.) by using the HP Diagnostic tools and that part looked okay.

I am attaching the BSOD in the next post in this thread, and if someone could help me analyze and sort out the BSOD that would help tremendously.

Thanks,

Update: The BSOD log collector isn't working.

Building a computer for a friend

Any reason for listing the 3820? Socket 2011 is total overkill for what your looking for. Socket AM3+ would be more appropriate.

My build suggestion, just pick a case your friend likes the looks of. System Builder

DTS supported natively by Windows 8/8.1 and it should work on windows 10 too just DDL require to unlock your driver .

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
