PC crashes every time i touch the tower, fixes itself when i power it off completely
Every time I even come near the tower, like plugging out a usb cable or accidentally bumping it with my foot, it goes into a black screen, but audio keeps working for a couple seconds before all output dies. Also, the fans keep spinning and all my RGB stays on. Rarely it does this without any contact (maybe dust?) I have a feeling it's a power issue but i'm not experienced enough to know Specs: Ryzen 5 5600x RTX 3070 32GB DDR4 3600mhz Asrock B550 Extreme 4 Deepcool LE240 AIO (half sure) Fedora Linux 43 (Kernel 6.19.10) or Windows 11 Pro (happens on both) Unsure what PSU i've got, it could hold off a Ryzen 3 2200g and RTX 3070 before i upgraded thoughIs the Windows 10 upgrade still free to windows 11?
Just wondering if the free upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 still works in 2026. My PC is still on Windows 10, and I am trying to figure out whether I can move to Windows 11 without paying for a new license. Is the Windows 10 upgrade still free to windows 11? Did Windows 11 activate automatically with the Windows 10 license, or did Microsoft stop that? Also curious if there are any catches now, especially with hardware requirements. By the way, why my computer still does not receive the Windows 10 free upgrade notice to windows 11? I bought this PC 10 years ago. Thanks
Your First Windows (Win 10) PC ...
I was cleaning up my hard drives and came across some old PC builds. This was my first ever Windows PC. It was a custom build by a company called Kustom PCs based in Scotland. Although I have some photos, I never documented the specific components, so I have no clue what's in this Cooler Master WaveMaster case. But I do know it's 2005, the CPU is Intel and the graphics card nVidia / EVGA Those games were my entire collection at the time, and I have to say, looking back, not a bad set of choices! I do miss that era of gaming (and the prices! £34.99 for a AAA game, how times have changed!) What was your first Windows PC?
Laptop with Windows 10 Home installed from Desktop won't boot
As the title suggests, I installed Windows 10 Home from an official USB onto an m.2 drive. I put that drive into the laptop, and it asks for a keyboard layout, and brings me here. The mouse pad doesn’t work and any attempt to repair or recover results in an error. The bootable USB isn't recognized by the laptop, which is why I installed Windows from a Desktop. Any help would be appreciated.Windows 10 homescreen at self checkout at Big W Australia

"I'm trying to upgrade or revert my Windows 11 25H2 installation to Windows 10, but I'm not sure if this is even possible. I'd love to know if there are any methods or workarounds to downgrade to Windows 10, and if there's any way to customize the installation to remove the 25H2 features that I don't want."NTLM Blocking on Windows 10 21H1 breaks some group policies, specifically allow/deny log on locally
I'm struggling with blocking NTLM outbound from workstations, as it appears that some group policy processing, specifically the user rights assignments, requires it. I've been able to replicate this so far. Steps to reproduce on Windows 10 21H1 Pro: Block NTLM outgoing on a workstation Set "allow log on locally" or "deny log on locally" to include any domain group in the user rights assignments security settings/local policy. Enable Group policy debugging with registry entry: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Diagnostics: GPSvcDebugLevel DWORD 0x30002 Reboot Look in c:\windows\security\logs\winlogon.log and find entries stating that it could not enumerate the groups you added. You will also find that they are not enforced. So. how to get the winlogon process to use Kerberos and not NTLM? Can anyone else confirm this?
