    Solved Spontaneous restarts resulting in eventual blank screen.

    I swapped in the new PSU last night. Cooler Master MWE 850 Gold V2 Fully Modular PSU (only a 5 year warranty, but I had already ordered it by the time I saw your post). When taking out the old one I believe I discovered the problem. The connection between the four-pin plug from the PSU and the...

    Solved Spontaneous restarts resulting in eventual blank screen.

    Thank you very much. I have ordered a better looking PSU on Amazon. If it isn't the answer I will be able to return it. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻.

    Solved Spontaneous restarts resulting in eventual blank screen.

    Thank you. Could a good enough PSU mean that everything runs normally again? I am very worried about not even seeing the motherboard splash screen at all. I hope that doesn't mean something has been damaged.

    Solved Spontaneous restarts resulting in eventual blank screen.

    Thanks for your response. The PSU is iChoose Limited Switching Power Supply PSU 700W ATX. It may also be useful to know that I built this PC in May 2019 and have used it consistently since then with all of the same components. Also when looking up my purchase of the components in order to...

    Solved Spontaneous restarts resulting in eventual blank screen.

    My pc recently started spontaneously restarting (as in as if the reset switch had been pressed), seemingly at random in the last few days, until eventually while I was trying different possible solutions it stopped displaying the motherboard splashscreen at all and is now completely...

    Solved Hard Disc Puzzle

    I think I've done it without a new hard disk or a usb stick. These are the steps I've taken. I managed to burn the windows 10 ISO onto a DVD-R and booted from that. The automated repair didn't achieve anything. I gave it four hours and then gave up. So I tried out some manual steps in command...

    Solved Hard Disc Puzzle

    Ok thanks for the clarification. I have had some luck and got back into Windows 10 today. I then disconnected the failing drive after logging in and have successfully backed up my files and I'm getting on with as much work as I can before I go away on holiday. I've also got a USB ready to be...

    Solved Hard Disc Puzzle

    Thanks so much. It never occurred to me that booting would involve the older disks. I suppose what I should have done in the first place was wait until I had installed Windows 10 on the new disc before connecting the old ones when I first built this machine. I think I'm going to have to ask a...

    Solved Hard Disc Puzzle

    On my PC in addition to my main hard disc I keep two older discs partly for sentimental value, partly for backup options and partly so I have an old version of windows 7 I can log into whenever anything goes badly wrong on my main OS (Windows 10). I don't really need them, or so I thought...

    Solved PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA can't get into Windows 10

    OK. I think I have found the solution. It turns out Tpkd.sys is a file corrupted by installing certain audio software that uses iLok for licensing. I didn't consider that and assumed it was related to the USB 3.0 crash. I found a video with a guide to get back into windows by remaining the file...

    Solved PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA can't get into Windows 10

    I should add that below the error it says "What Failed: Tpkd.sys Also, I have since returned to Windows 7, and upon booting it did a lengthy disk check for the disc on which Windows 7 is running. It seemed to make a lot of repairs during the indexing stage. Then it went into Windows 7 normally...

    Solved PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA can't get into Windows 10

    Hello. I'm going to give you as much detail as I can and hope that you can help. I was using my machine normally, while charging my phone from it via a USB 3 cable, and it kept reconnecting, until eventually it crashed the USB 3 somehow. There is one other external device I connect via USB 3...
