I suspect that the less than expected uptake of W11 has caused Microsoft to allow some unsupported platforms to run W11 for now, but it's unwise in the extreme to imagine that this will continue forever. I rather think that in 2026, after W10 support ends this October, that they might start to...

Interviewer: Black one
Farmer: 2 litres per day.
Interviewer: And the white one?
Farmer: 2 litres per day.
Interviewer : Where do they sleep?
Farmer: The Black one or the white one...
Temperature monitors can be confused by sensors that aren't actually present. That might be what you're seeing.
If it's being RMA'd again then it's probably best to leave it to PCS.
I'm not seeing anything concrete in the data you uploaded, nothing stands out as being a likely cause. That generally indicates some sort of hardware issue. I can see a few crashes and restarts with no indication that they were BSODs, they just seem to have been random restarts. The only...
I would suggest you phone PCS and ask them whether those are products that they installed. If they are, then I'd ask them why and explain that the aged drivers have been causing you problems and ask them how best to remove them.
It's possible that these products were installed along with some...
I'd have preferred the drivers to be uninstalled rather than deleted. The way to do that is to uninstall the product that delivered them.
I was going to suggest navigating to C:\Windiows\System32\Drivers and locating these drivers in there. Then rename them to change the ,sys suffix to .old...
If you are walking in bear country it's advisable to carry pepper spray and wear a string of bells around your neck. The bells give the bears warning that you're around and mostly they will get out of your way. The pepper spray is for when they don't. It's also very important to know what kind...
Open an elevated command prompt and enter the following command...
dism /Online /get-drivers /format:table > C:\temp\drivers.txt
In your Temp folder on the system drive there will be a file called drivers.txt, upload that text file to here (or copy and paste it).
I have another question: were you aware of this excessive CPU use before you upgraded to 24H2? There are some compatibility issues with 24H2 and you are running some aged drivers on there....
There is a driver on there called ddcdrv.sys that dates from 2008, that pre-dates the initial release...
Just seen this on my phone. I'll get too it first thing in the morning (it's 9:30pm here now).
Have you virus checked it? Use two different tools to be sure.
That it's OK in Safe Mode suggests that it's a software/driver issue, so don't bother testing hardware any further (for now anyway)...
FWIW The only social media site I'm on is Facebook, but not under my real name. I use the Greek version of my real name (which FB accepted without question) and there is no genuine information about me on there. I don't buy anything off Facebook (seriously, who would?), I don't use it as a news...
I'm just wondering what this sentence actually means...
What does 'picking up the cooler' mean exactly? If you mean that the cooler wasn't working at all then I'm in full agreement with @SpyderTracks that you have more than likely cooked the CPU.
I would never disagree with @SpyderTracks about...
