PC Hibernating/Freezing
I made all the upgrades at the same time. Within the past 2-3 days I have had issues with my PC going into hibernation/freezing (either losing monitor input and audio at once while the PC itself is still powered on and running or the monitors freeze along with audio). Afterwards, I will completely power down the PC, let it sit for a few minutes and then reboot. This has happened in some variations, either during a few games of Rocket League, Hell Let Loose, etc. Or after running the applications for 10-15 minutes and going to close them. My resting temperature on my CPU has been between 43c - 51c. While running these games the CPU temp is typically between 68c - 75c. I have messed with underclocking the CPU to see if the temps would drop and give me a solution but that has not helped. I am worried my CPU might be running at too high of temps, especially in the 30L case (known to be small with lack of good airflow).Windows constantly stuttering
So I was playing the battlefield 6 beta, I went to update my corsair Icue drivers in the background and the whole system blue screened and it seemed to have corrupted windows. Sometimes it would load back up sometimes it would just blue screen again. Tried doing a repair using a USB boot drive with a windows installer on. Didn't work. Whenever I would get back in to windows the stuttering would be unbearable. I have 4 Nvme ssds so I was able to get majority of the important data off of the C drive before it seems to have gone kaput. Can't see it in bios now or if I go to do a fresh install. I tried a fresh install using a partition on one of my other drives, but within minutes it started behaving exactly the same way, constant freezing and micro stutter even at idle. My system is a custom build, 14900k, z690 Aorus Xtreme board, 96gb Gskill TridentZ 6400 CL 32, RTX 5090, 9x corsair QX120 fans. Any ideas, I've troubleshooted a lot and have been tearing my hair out. Its so bad the system is practically unusable. Minded just to do a CPU motherboard upgrade to AMD, been thinking about it anyway.What is the best way to download YouTube videos in 2025?

USB drive not visible in file explorer
I have a new laptop which runs on windows 11, when I put a USB stick in, it makes the usual "ding" but it does nothing and is not visible in file explorer. I have done a bit of googling and as a result have looked at the disk management system and it is there. It has been suggested that I assign the drive letter, but that option is greyed out.Copy to clipboard very slow with the snipping tool
I had this issue that with windows 11, for some reason the windows copy to clipboard took a while, like a two or three second delay between the screenshot was taken and it being copied, and I was looking for a solution, and so far nobody had a real solution but I think I found a good one to fix this without disabling snipping tool.How to download youtube video on mac with 4k or 1080p

Personally I have found it quite sad that Microsoft dropped their Mobile efforts and thus I have been left on the stagnating Windows 10 platform ever since.

Windows 10 ESU
Hello, I have ASUS UX410U laptop with Windows 10 Home 22H2. My computer can't be updated to Windows 11 because it has unsupported processor (i5-7200U). Due to that I would like to sign in to ESU, but I don't have button anywhere in Windows Update. Is there any reason why I can't sign in to ESU or is it any bug which can be repaired? All required updates are installed, no issues found in PC health check.Speech to text on Windows 10?
Hello folks! I am using Dragon naturally speaking to write this post first in notepad and then I will into the screen on the forum and post it. As many of you already know, I like to use Dragon Naturally Speaking because it is easier for me to write correctly using it instead of trying to touch type. Yes, I do know how to touch type, but a number of years ago I lost sight in one eye and I make too many mistakes when trying to touch type. Anyhow, that's not the point of this post anyway, just a short of explanation of why Dragon Naturally Speaking has been so important to me and I need your help to find a workaround. Here's the problem. My DNS is installed on Windows 7. I've been told that my version of DNS is conversion 12.5 and does not work on Windows 10. So I'm not even going to try to put it on Windows 10 unless somebody knows of a suitable workaround. The next option would be to buy a new copy of Dragon for price of $200. I really don't like that at all. This is a program I bought years ago and I paid for it and its mind but I cannot up credit with a small incremental price increase. I went to their site and they recommended I buy the new version of that program. You might think I am at at them. Just very disappointed.How to revert from Windows 11 Pro to Home Edition after upgrading to Pro?
