    Solved! An operating system wasn’t found.

    After further testing, all signs point to it being a bad and failing SSD drive.

    Solved! An operating system wasn’t found.

    I was curious about a short as well, but where do you think this could be occurring? It had crossed my mind, because it worked fine on my bench before screwing it down into the slot. There is a wireless module that sits underneath it, but then I thought moving it to the adapter would get around...

    Solved! An operating system wasn’t found.

    I'm building a gaming PC for a friend using mostly surplus parts with a new case and power supply. The OS drive is a M.2 sata ssd that appeared to be new in packaging. I had the system on a bench for testing, installed Windows 10 from a flash drive and everything was great. However, after I...

    Question Should I upgrade SATA Samsung 860 EVO to NVME drive?

    Definitely agree. When I built my PC 1.5 years ago, there was still a price premium on NVME drives and I cared more about capacity.

    Question Should I upgrade SATA Samsung 860 EVO to NVME drive?

    Thanks to you both. This was my impression, but it's good to hear from actual users.

    Question Should I upgrade SATA Samsung 860 EVO to NVME drive?

    Currently have a SSD over SATA as my OS/programs drive. From what I've seen looking at benchmarks, it doesn't look like I would see too much of an increase upgrading to a faster NVME drive in real-world scenarios. I'm curious what other people's experiences are making the jump from SATA to NVME.

    Using 1 8-pin EPS when motherboard features 2

    I'm looking to pair the SuperNOVA G3 550 with an i5-9600K and Gigabyte - Z390 AORUS MASTER. My understanding is that the CPU will max out at 130W under normal use and a single 8-pin EPS maxes at 336 watts. This makes me wonder why I would need to plug-in 2 8-pin EPS cables even when...

    How long to let Check Disk (chkdsk) hang before maunually rebooting

    My friends computer gave an unable to write to disk error while Steam was updating a game (not sure exactly what the error was). She said she had also had issues with the computer hanging lately. She lives on a different coast now, so I can't help her hands on, but I walked her through...

    Computer Occasionaly won't POST, problem keeps getting worse

    About a month ago, I came home after being gone for a weekend and wasn't able to get my computer to boot. Power light would come on, fans spin, no POST. My computer is attached to a UPS, so it should be protected from power fluctuations. After powering it on and off a few times, it finally...

    Cat resetting computer (static electricity)

    Ok, so my friend has a metal computer case and sometimes when her cat touches it the computer resets. Her cat builds up a lot of static electricity in her apartment - I get shocked a lot when I touch it. My guess is that the problem is the case panel with the reset switch isn't grounded and...
