    Hey When I shut down my computer, I had the option to update and restart. So I picked that option so I can install updates. I did that and my computer just restarted without installing anything. I figured it was just a one time thing so I did it again after my computer started back up. Same...

    Malwarebytes messed up internet connection

    Hey guys, So I was doing a scan with malwarebytes and it found one adware. I quarantined it. After that, my internet connection was very, very slow. I tried everything I could think of til I decided to just do a system restore. That worked! Now I'm afraid to use malwarebytes again or...

    Strange devices on router

    Hey, So I have a couple of devices showing up on my router that are unfamiliar. One of them appears to look like it's from amazon and the other one is from audiocast. My wifi is protected by password (a really good and long one, I think). Could it be because I use amazon? I don't even use...

    Disk cleanup took MORE space?!

    I was using disk clean up a little while ago and though it's not much difference, it took up more space, not freeing up space? I've added and deleted documents lately so maybe that's what messed up the true number of storage space and the number of space showing after disk cleanup is actually...

    I'm trying to block websites so they're not tempting to get on. Problem is I do turn them on with my anti-virus, McAfee but McAfee is blocking websites that are not supposed to be blocked like adult websites. I tried to post this problem on the McAfee website but no one's answering so I...

    BSOD twice in two days

    I'm sure it's my display driver again. I had Crimson ReLive Edition 16.12.2 installed (I used clean install from AMD to get rid of it and either reinstall it or install something else). It's from 2017 so why hasn't it been updated? Then I read that AMD no longer support 8400 series anymore so...

    THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER_M

    I'm sure I just need to update my display drivers again. I've had problems in the past and want to start with a clean slate. However, I don't want to be too aggressive and I know using DDU is aggressive as it wipes out more than a display driver. I came across a post at the amd website that...

    I hear a fan in my computer in the background going up and the sound on youtube videos would decrease a lot. The more I hear the fan, the less I hear the videos.

    Crimson or Catalyst?

    I was just wondering which is better for most people? I see in different places only where people complain about Crimson a lot because it's been nothing but trouble. In my experience, it's been nothing but trouble. I think maybe I liked Catalyst better. They still offer Catalyst Software...
