    This random folder is lurking on my computer.

    When I go into the properties, it says it is 14GB. When I go into the file, I see a fresh Windows installation, no extra programs, System32 and all.

    Only difference is that the Windows folder is names in all caps WINDOWS1.
    Please send me a cmd prompt command that allows me to either delete or take ownership of the command (or any other way) . And yes, I have tried takeown /f C:\25207843687483. There is no system restore point on my computer.
    please send help

  3. random restarts

    Hi,

    If a Windows computer random restarts, the device usually have some damaged system components. For us to provide an accurate solution, we would need you to answer the following questions:

    • Which build, version and edition of Windows is installed on your computer?
    • What changes have you made to the device before this issue occurred?
    • What troubleshooting steps was already performed to your laptop?

    In the meantime, it will be best to make sure that the latest update of Windows is installed on your device. If the same issue happens after installing Windows Update, we suggest running the power troubleshooter. To do so, follow these steps:

    • Open the Control Panel.
    • Using the search bar at the upper-right corner, type troubleshooting.
    • From the search results, click on Troubleshooting and then select System and Security.
    • Click on Power and then follow the prompts to successfully run the tool.

    We are looking forward to your response.

  4. Random windows installation on my computer?

    Windows 7 wont install drivers

    i dont think anyone here understands what your asking either when its nearly a 90% english dominated Tech forum.
    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.
