  1. Windows 10
    Hi there! My Windows laptop (a Lenovo Y510p IdeaPad, which is now 10 years old) was crashing persistently recently, possibly due to some file corruption, or perhaps simply too much being stored on my hard drive/poor storage management. After backing up all of my files previously (thankfully), I...

    I will try to make this basic yet detailed. b45m ds3h mobo with bluetooth all has been fine for a few months almost a year. I got a BSOD launching a game (legally owned and within my specs). When i restarted, bt is now completely gone. I see it hidden, tried the following reinstalled all...

    Hi, My test PC is really slow on boot. It's newly built (as in put together) based on mostly older kit. Tech Support Guy System Info Utility version 1.0.0.9 OS Version: Microsoft Windows 10 Home, 64 bit, Build 19045, Installed 20230601081341.000000+060 Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4590 CPU...

    For context, I work in IT and software support -- all in linux that deals with servers and backup storage. On my build at home, I have a situation where a member in RAID 10 keeps failing -- but isn't really failed. The spare kicks in it initializes and after it is introduced, I end up bringing...

    I have been having a problem where I have tried the different settings on Streamlabs OBS, like lowering the bitrate and the resolutions to have a smooth stream when playing my games on the Steam gaming software, but Steam is really slowing the stream down and also my computer. My computer is...
  6. Windows 10
    Hi, I just bought a used laptop (Lenovo T510), and it's supposed to come with Windows 10 pre-installed. In the shop it was working, too, but now that I'm trying to start it at home, all I get is this screen: Following advice I found with an internet search, I've tried resetting the...

    I am not intending to use my 4TB external HDD to store games as I am only intending to use it to help make the games on the capture window on my Streamlabs OBS to run smoother. I game stream by connecting my gaming consoles to the computer via an Elgato HD60 S+ game capture card. Is there a way...
  8. Games
    I am trying to figure out the situation of where I am trying to fix the smoothness of the game on Streamlabs OBS, even when I have started streaming yet. I mainly use YouTube to game stream. The frame rate is a bit choppy. I do have the FPS value to the video to 60 and the bitrate for the output...
  9. Windows 10
    Hello, I am not very tech-savy, so I apologise for any mistakes I make. I do try to learn, so I can sort out my stuff by myself. I have some issues with my mother's Acer Aspire 7 (A715-71G-541M). She inherited it from her deceased brother - I formatted everything and installed a fresh copy of...

    About a year ago I got some Sennheiser HDR 175, connected to my PC via it's optical cable. While using them I noticed an occasional audio pop, nothing major. Then over the course of maybe 3 to 6 months the issue got progressively worse, and the occasional pops started changing into an all-out...
  11. Windows 10
    I purchased a new Lenovo M256q mini last month (11/2022) SN MJ0DJ9R5; that was set up with Windows 10 Pro so I didn't think swapping out my SSD with Windows Home would be an issue (my windows 10 home was an upgrade from windows 7). Everything worked just fine until I tried to go back to Windows...

    Hi I need to urgently create a video for a job I'm applying for. I have a couple of issues - I can't get my office (IE the room my desktop is in, not the software!) bright enough for the interviewers to be able to see my face properly (!) and I can't find a way to activate or download Windows...
  13. Web & Email
    I've seen an odd issue happen of late in Firefox when looking at Facebook. It's more irksome than anything else, but I'd like to know if anyone else out there has seen it and resolved the issue. I'm running V.103 of the 64-bit version and, as I scroll down the Facebook page, it suddenly starts...

    It is all getting so confusing for me. Is there a particular NVIDIA graphics card that has NVENC that I can put on the back of my All-in-One PC. The reason I am thinking of getting NVENC is so that my CPU keep running normally while I play my game stream either on YouTube or Twitch through OBS...

    I’m not sure if I’m in the right category. After getting a new computer, I wasn’t properly sure if all my settings are right when using Streamlabs OBS, so that my game streams don’t lag and where I can use 60fps on YouTube and Twitch. I use an Elgato Capture HD card to connect my old consoles...

    Recently I bought a m.2 Crucial p5 plus SSD. I have attempted to transfer windows to it but ran into some hiccups. Decided to reset everything and now I’m unable to boot at all. Windows apparently isn’t installed on anything. Would my only option to rebuy windows CD/USB or is there anything else...

    Hi I'm using the latest version of PowerToys in Windows 10 and want to change some of the settings, but I can't get the settings to open! If I right-click on the icon in the system tray, the menu with 'Settings' at the top opens, but if I then left-click 'Settings', nothing happens...
