PC / Laptop Questions & Answers - Hardware & Software

[Guest]

Good Afternoon Gents & Ladies.

As my previous thread got a little sideways, this post and thread is for any PC / Laptop software or hardware questions. I can even suggest the best options on new PC's or Laptops and can ever build them for you or ensure you get the best bang for buck.

So fear not, post up any questions, queries, frustrations and or new ideas here.


PS. Any chance this can be stickied please oh wonderful Modulators?

This is a generous offer of IT assistance, but I think it would be better if each issue were discussed on this forum (Computer Discussion/Help) on a separate thread, rather than combining all the issues under what likely will become a massive thread. Separate threads for each issue would make it easier to follow and search.

Just as suggestion, but as for making this a sticky, as the Magical Moderator....I'm Out!

Yeah, surely this is what the sub forum was created for in the first place?

Great to have a helpful soul on board though.

You have a strange interpretation of "fun," but it was a fruitful day and you stuck in there, long after snrs serious and monkey69 bailed.

PROPS!

Boy, Bag Boy.

Haha! Bag Boy said "fruit!"

Not an apple problem... PCs have this issue all the time but the files are easier to find (unlike the maze of locked doors like IOS has). What the issue on Windows/Googles/Androids/whatever devices is they like to gorge back up files with roundabout data. There's one or two files in a folder used to backup your data and it continuously backs your information up until it takes all or 75% of your disk space. Think of it like a benign cancer cell that grows and can't be stopped - but this one stays benign.

Just like a benign tumour, you have to find it and end it. But it's significantly harder on an IOS device. Hell - I don't even know how to find it on a PC!

I've been nursing my laptop along for a while and not long ago experience the blue screen of death (I'll add screen shots from tapatalk).
This morning, the same happened - In advance of this I'd obtained a linux mint disk.
So when it happened, I shut down and then tried to boot from disk.
No joy there either......
Any ideas most welcome, as I currently can't do anything with it.
And yes, I have tried turning it off and on again..

Most likely bad ram if there is more than one stick installed try taking one out and try again, swap over if it still won't work.
