--------- PS2 --------- While this MOBO has PS2 ports I could never get them to work. In re-reviewing the MOBO docs for the BIOS, I find "PS2 Keyboard and Mouse Support" is listed under "Boot Menu > Fast Boot". However Fast Boot is not available unless one has UEFI and also a GPT primary partition. Seems odd that PS2 would be disabled for Legacy.

I am getting extremely consistent BSOD's with "BAD_POOL_HEADER" while installing any large program - both using Revo Install Logger and without. Since this started I am also getting them on procexp141.sys when I open my sysinternals task manager. I first noticed it when Direct X was installing, but I have a sneaking suspicion this is regarding the video card. I am noticing a very serious...

My Startup used to be about 90sec to 2min. About 2 months ago it took longer and longer to get through to where I could start using it. Now it stands at 5+ minutes. I've done EVERYTHING that has been suggested on this site and others- no help. I've tried to fix the problem and educate myself at the same time. Nothing has worked, I've rebooted at least a dozen times after each solution that...

My son just picked up an HP thin client from a store that was going out of business. I'm trying to reformat it for him but HP doesn't seem to have the OS on their site. It's a HP t5740e. When I turn it on all I get is a web browser (no desktop, nothing). Is there any place I can download the OS and get this thing up and running for him?

Hi! I am no longer using my home network. And I'm also afraid that some unknown users could make use of my computer through a home network. In any case, I see that I have some unknown user profiles listed on my computer, like when I clicked on properties(or something like that) in the options I found by right clicking on a movie maker project that won't open (it's faded and error message...

How can I get "my computer" to show it's usual contents again? All it shows is the DVD drive today. And why does it say I have 2 drives? I don't want unknown users using my computer, so how can I make it say I have just one drive? I've turned off home sharing on both computers recently, but I see that it still says I have 2 drives!

I see there are numerous threads with this problem, after reading them all I'm none the wiser.

A few days ago on my HP laptop Pavilion I was locked out of my user account. Yes, CAPS were off. Yes, I restarted the laptop. It didn't matter. And no, nobody has access to my machine. I was able to sidestep the issue a couple of times by logging into my Admin account and then switching over to my regular account which required that password but somehow it now worked. You can probably...
