    Solved format ssd drive

    Hi Bruce, thanks for the reply. No it wasn't under warranty. It comes from a 2018 laptop so I suppose I have my moneys worth from it. Why would I reuse it? I thought maybe something like just a bad sector that a format would repair, I dunno. I just have an aversion to throwing things away if...

    Solved format ssd drive

    I have a 2.5" SSD that failed. It was the C: drive from my laptop which I have now replaced. I would like to format and reuse the drive and I don't need to recover any data or partitions. The drive has five partitions; 500mb Healthy EFI, 459mb Healthy Recovery, 12.02 gb Healthy Recovery...

    Solved Intermittent reboots when idle Win 10

    It's been running since Tuesday with both monitors. No problems at all (y). The only issue I have seen is leaving YouTube up and paused. I have to reboot to unpause it but I don't see that as a problem.

    Solved Intermittent reboots when idle Win 10

    Looks like I used the wrong sticks when I moved cases. I have a pair of Aegis F4-3000C 16D 16GISB. I've swapped those over. Done Do I need to reinstall again I've uninstalled CCleaner. Unfortunately a new PSU will have to wait until next pension day, or the one after that. :confused: thanks...

    When I came back from lunch the PC had hung and the monitors were displaying pretty patterned background. I have attached the compressed minidump. Not sure I understood "post a new Speccy url" thanks

    Solved Intermittent reboots when idle Win 10

    I had a couple of issues this morning. Event viewer pointed to Critical Kernel-Power Event ID 41 Task Category 63. I've had six of those over the last two days. I did a quick research on those and have since disabled fast startup, done a power troubleshoot, no problems, Run a DISM scan and then...

    Solved Intermittent reboots when idle Win 10

    I reinstalled windows this morning in the correct order and all seemed well. I added my everyday user apps, libreoffice, macrium and firefox. All was good until late this afternoon. First Firefox hiccuped and a tab crashed then a little late when Firefox was back up and running the PC rebooted...

    Solved Intermittent reboots when idle Win 10

    Thanks for the reply. After the install everything was running fine (or so it appeared) so I installed the apps I needed, office etc, loaded Macrium Reflect and made a system image. I didn't notice any instability straight off because it happened during idle time and I put it down to system...

    Solved Intermittent reboots when idle Win 10

    No, I thought this was part of the install process however I did check later using ccleaner and I believe it did update a couple of drivers but cannot recollect which. Device manage says they are all good. Originally C:system, D:recovery and E:Data were partitions on the 2TB ssd. The PC crashed...
