    also no idea, but after the windows update, screen started to flicker when I play league of legends (In the game loading screen and in game only). I didn’t think this was the correct section to post this problem so made a thread: https://pchelpforum.net/t/flickering...-update.34939/
    I don’t have other games to cross-reference, but other applications or video players work fine, no screen flickering.

      As a starting point you need to back up your data from the HDD to something like an external USB HDD, you are also getting low on free storage space on the D: partition so without backing up what you need from this partition and then deleting what is on the D: partition you will not be able to extend the C: partition.

      Regarding the LoL flickering, going off topic so I can[ICODE]t say too much but what I will say is that I[/ICODE]m not sure how you have been able to play it as the minimum speed CPU required is 3GHz and preferably a dual core version.

        I will try to do this as soon as possible. Will have to bring in a friend’s external hdd, so a bit of time probably.

        I get 60 fps on average. and goes to 90-120 fps. The game runs pretty well, so I had thought it had low requirements.

            Hi, it will take 4-5 days more. Friend said he sold his external hdd, so I will see if others have it or I will have to buy a new one, and it might be necessary too.

                Hi, I have currently freed 100 gb+ in my D drive, can I partition that 100 gb to my c drive? I was looking for external hdd, but since I am already looking for a laptop for my brother, I will transfer my files once he buys it (probably next 2-3 days).

                  Still not enough free space to allow for what needs to be achieved so I recommend the following;

                  Let us know if you have had any more BSOD.

                  Wait until you have the means to create a back up image of your HDD.

                    I have not had any BSOD after following your steps.
                    Ok, I will wait till there is the new laptop to backup the files.

                      Thanks for the update (y)

                      As your initial computer problem/s are now resolved and partitioning the HDD is going off topic can I ask that when you are ready that you start a new thread on the appropriate Windows forum and one of us will help you there, thank you and meanwhile safe computing.
