    PC Windows 11, DELL XPS 8950 saving large files is very slow, sometimes freezing app and losing file. I notice this when working on video or audio files, never on small. I cannot figure out what the issue is. It's been a month or so.

    Saves log files ?

    You can either read the files in Windows or my preferred method is.....

    Download CCcleaner from here...........

    http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

    You can then run cleaner, you will see the log files listed, then if you right click you can save as a text file and then have a read. You may also get an "error reporting" log listed seperatly.

    How to reset pc without losing files Windows 10

    I wanted to reset my computer as it was running slow but i didnt want to lose my data i read that files kept on pc desktop wont be deleted if you use keep my files option so i tried resetting but then the pop up gave me a list of files saying “Your apps
    will be deleted, have to be reinstalled. This is a list of programs that will be saved on the desktop that can be viewed later” i didnt understand what it meant the list contained files i wanted to keep on the computer. Are those files going to be deleted?
    Or Saved?

    BIOS Save to file crashes

    Do you mean a crash OR freeze? I get the same issues, but not crashing - I get a total freeze of the PC, requiring a hard reset. Using GIGABYTE GTX 670 GeForce card here, on Windows 8.1 Pro OS.

    Yes, what is your Windows OS version - 7, 8.0, 8.1, 10 Preview?
    And what antivirus software do you use?
    Also, try saving your BIOS via NVFlash instead of GPU-Z - does that work or crash?
    You can download NVFlash here:
    NVIDIA NVFlash 5.867 Download

    It runs from a Windows Command Prompt. To save your GPU's BIOS, enter the command:
    nvflash --save 660.rom
    (where you can change 660 to any other file name you wish)

    Make sure to do this once only. Doing it a second time, please specify another file name, or else NVFlash will try to flash your BIOS instead of reading it only.
