  1. USB not being picked up by pc


    I tried to create Windows 10 media installation on USB flash drive using media creation tool but flash drive but does not show up on pc even though it is plugged in and when i checked device manager it states device is working properly...cannot reformat it...when media creation tool finishes downloading Windows 10..message pops up stating ..please insert drive..which is inserted.

    I have two other 32Gb usb flash drives and similar issues occur..they can't be all faulty can they ?

    Please advise.

    Thankyou

    My OS is Windows 10 Pro with latest updates

    :)

    Click next/OK as required to complete installation. Repeat the steps for all Intel USB devices. Finally click on each USB root device and press DEL to delete it, reply YES when asked. After deleting all USB root devices restart the computer.

    I hope this is detailed enough...

  3. 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??
