For a long time I have been using Copernic Desktop Search and now I am told that it is known to cause crashes. So I would like to use the search box above the start button BUT I want to set it up so that it searches only the folders in my libraries - not the entire machine. Is there a way of setting this up? Would it find individual words or just file names? Are there any teach-yourself pages...

Hello, I recently bought a MSI 4G GeForce GTX 960 4GB 128-Bit GDDR5 video card but it is not compatible with my actual motherboard (M3970AM-HP - Angelica) because the BIOS version does not support this type of graphic cards. I would like to know for sure if the GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3 (rev. 6.0) AM3+ (http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128565) mobo will be able to run my...

Hi all... Yesterday, I was going about my drive management on my windows server machine, and I was cleaning two disks that I had just bought. I did not unplug the drives that I was not trying to clean from the PC, so something went horribly wrong. I accidentally cleaned one of the three of the 1.5TB drives, and it was the wrong one! I looked into using Test Disk, but I don't know what to choose...

I recently put together my custom build, and it worked fine for about a month, but I went to install my new Seagate hard drive and it immediately started boot looping. It usually gets to the windows Logo, then freezes for a moment, black screens, and starts again, sending me to a window asking if I'd like to launch startup repair, but once I click on it, it blue screens. I already made sure it's...

BSOD after interrupting chkdsk: error 0xc000000f

Yesterday, I started up my computer and chkdsk was running. Believing it wouldn't take longer than a hour, I let it check files. Desperately wanting to use my computer, I took a risk to restart the computer by holding the power button, which ended in up with the BSOD. I'm guessing the chkdsk had deleted or changing some important files when I turned it off. Windows failed to start. A recent...

I am in the process of moving to a different computer. The one I had before is a laptop ASUS with Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit. The one I'm transferring to is a Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

I realize this is a Windows Forum - but I have no where else to turn. I am using Macrium Reflect (Free Version) to clone my 1TB SSD primary drive which has three partitions. My issue is that, when I clone the primary drive, the clone shows less GB used than the original in each partition (I have three partitions). Also, when I substitute the clone for the primary drive, I get a message which...

Even if the driver recovers, I have to restart the game b/c...

But there is one day wherein it does not go into BSOD. Also some applications like google chrome or vlc suddenly crashes. I tried reformating it to windows 7 ultimate x64 but the problem still persists....
