Open up your graphics design software, load your most complex design, or multiople designs, and open every other app you typically use at the same time. I want you to have the most complex work running that you need running to do your job so that you're using as much RAM as you're ever likely to...

So you were DEL by CTRL and now have to find ALT employment? That's not much FN. I'd go HOME if I were you, take a PAUSE and then look for an ESC somewhere. Crete is nice, but not right now.....

Change the mouse batteries and update the mouse driver. This really does look like a keyboard (mouse?) device or driver problem. I would check for a Bluetooth driver update and a wireless card driver update as well. TBH this is why I now use a wired keyboard....

Firstly, open Device Manager, expand the Bluetooth section and locate your keyboard in that list. Right-click on it, select Properties from the list, and then click the Power Management option tab. Ensure that 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power' checkbox is NOT checked If...

Don't do it. Spend the money and buy 2 x 16GB matched sticks in a pack and sell the 2 x 8GB on to someone else. I see a large number of BSODs that are down to mismatched RAM. IMO RAM should always be bought in a pack of matched sticks. Doing anything else may lead to disappointment.

Can you still get fish and chips in newspaper over there? FWIW you can't get (decent) fish and chips at all over here! Some years ago I came over to the UK to do a sailing presentation for the Cruising Association. All the presenters went out to a fairly fancy restaurant for dinner in the...

Backup - daily and automatically. That's what I do. It's all about risk, and the risk of a drive failure these days is very small. RAID was never a home technology, it was designed for server farms. It was never designed for NVMe drives either - they are hardly inexpensive.

When it was still a Peter Norton product it was good, I used it a lot. Once Symantec bought it then it went rapidly downhill and every techie stopped using it.

Unfortunately 'well-known' doesn't mean that it's good, or even necessary. PCS include it because Symantec pay them to do so, but PCS make it an option in the configurator. Third-party security software is neither required nor recommended these days - and it hasn't been recommended at all since...

There's no such thing.

I think you're overthinking this. If there is a failure on the motherboard there is no telling what may be involved. You can't isolate motherboard failures/systems in this way. I think your time would be better spent worrying about drive failures, RAM failures, and even CPU failures. I see those...

Open Task Manager, click the performance tab, then click the Memory icon. Make sure the window is large enough to display everything - including the numbers at the bottom left. Now open up all the apps you use at the same time, ensure that these apps are as busy as you can every make them. The...

Did you know that in WWII Stoke-On-Trent was never bombed? After the war they learned that Stoke-On-Trent was never bombed because when the Luftwaffe flew the photo reconnaissance missions they thought they already had bombed it.....

It depends on where, just like the UK. It depends on how much work you want to do on it too. It can be hard to buy here too, for a couple of reasons... The general ethos here is that property belongs to the family, so most people won't sell the home that their children will inherit. The...

You can get a plate of snails with rosemary here for about 5 Euros....

OK, that must be the latest driver then, which sounds curious, but still. If the problem was limited to that game then it's probably the game at fault.

We're doing it as well now! We shouldn't even be talking about it. It's an irrelevance, a distraction, an utterly insignificant, unnecessary, and pointless boondoggle. That's why he's done it. It pacifies the masses without a) costing anything or b) actually changing anything. It was scary that...

@SpyderTracks is a proper posh-boy fol-de-rol then. Ah, that explains a lot! :ROFLMAO: I went to a grammar school and now I is having good grammar. Not much else though....

I really don't understand why Americans, and others, are making such a huge fuss about renaming the Gulf Of Mexico America? Who cares? What they're not seeing is that this is a distraction, like a magic trick, to direct people's attention away from what really matters. Social media is awash...
