My family pc is a win 7 pc (3 GB RAM, 266 GB free space on C; drive, 5-7 years old?) that has so far survived updates from windows except for one BSOD episode after the Autumn update last year as I recall. It took a week and gave only BSOD and then all was well for no apparent reason. Starting the past couple of months, my wife and I notice that Microsoft must be on the pc, for no apparent...

Recently my external hard drive started to keep running after I go to the taskbar and click Safely Remove Hardware > Eject External USB > Notification says you can safely removed it. The light on the HD is on and you can hear the disk spinning. I don't think they used to do that. Is it safe to unplug them when this happens? Don't know if it makes any difference but I use a third-party file...

Hi Ive been having issues with various programs lagging and I keep getting an out of memory msg in PS CC 2015. I can see there is over 7GB of "cached memory" in task manager, what does this mean? is my laptop able to access it? Do the memory graphs look normal for a machine with just a few programs running?

Just this week my PC has been having trouble starting up. Fails & restarts again by itself before even the ''motherboard page' appears on screen. Finally it 'kicks in' and I'm back online. (Current hassles besides this are BSOD unsolved & screen-crash due to video card also unsolved.)

Why Winamp is just meh

This is my first forum post. This looks like a nice community! I thought I would just ramble about how bad Winamp is, at least in my case. Now firstly, this has nothing to do with my hardware, as a 3 GHz C2D and 4 GB of RAM is more than enough to use Winamp. In addition, I'm only 13 so I just missed the glory days of Winamp. With that said, let's get into it. Winamp *is not a bad media...

On 11th July (using non-auto Windows Update) I downloaded and installed "2018-07 Security Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows 7 for x86-based Systems (KB4338818)" amongst others. All seemed fine. Yesterday I had occasion to restore (a system image) to _just_ before the update. Now, when Windows Update runs it does not offer me this update. It still offers me (as it did originally) a 2018-07...

I wanted to steal a bit of HD space and make it into an extra partition for storing data, so I used Disk Management to shrink the system partition, then reallocated the free space as a new drive. Everything looked as it should, except that Windows warned me that formatting my new partition would make ALL partitions "simple" and that none of them would then be bootable, apart from the Win 7...
