100 or 500 Firefox tabs consume 0 KB unless you go to them. Last out of memory errors I had (years ago and not in W11 or 10) was for going to news sites and opening 10-20 new tabs before starting reading and closing them one by one (the real cause of the problem was limited C: free space that...

Sorry if it's a dumb question: have you rebooted? Does the issue affect the first boot screens, when nothing Windows 10 is loaded yet? When does it begin (if so) in the bootup process? Can you see it in the BIOS screens? Another possible diagnostic/remedy is to shut down the system, unplug it...

In my Google searches I've read many times "soft brick" or similar terms. This means the affected computer does the POST (depending, it properly signals it to the user with a beep/similar or not), but it detects corrupted legacy BIOS settings or not (afterwards I'll explore the corrupted certs...

Unless AMD, the future is legacy BIOS (half kidding half not).

I think that more than enough memory size, what this design lacks is a properly managed "invalid settings" state. Ending up in this state (properly recognized and managed by the firmware or not) doesn't need any settings change, OS loading or program run, it can happen if the CR2032 fails (I use...

Is this part of my previous post potentially useful? I ask this b/c this method isn't "removing the CR2032 battery", like for example: In the past I've had very slight problems "de-bricking" non UEFI motherboards with the following problem: somehow the CR2032 battery was depleted. Usually a...

If you have a registered email and password, you should have access to your "personal area". I don't remember where or how did I register, and that memory might be obsolete anyway or irrelevant for Todo Backup. I don't have Todo Backup, but I have Partition Master since long ago. The functions...

Maybe there're erroneous assumptions here... Not sure if the new RP's cover 3rd party apps, some say no but... This seems to include everything except the pagefile and the metadata of this. VSS lets the online OS make changes to the disk "virtualizing" either the changes or the initial state...

You mean you did connect everything again plus the case speaker and leds, and now it's working fine? Thumbs up! :) The accumulation of apparent sw errors plus the sudden shutdown and black screen did me think about a hw failure. It's possible something got loose and you fixed it replugging...

It doesn't sound to sw problem to me. Does it do the POST? (it should do a short beep from the case speaker to indicate that) Can you enter the BIOS? If not, detach everything including disks and GPU (if the processor or the mobo has one, and attach the monitor to the corresponding video...

With a 65W processor (Athlon x2 5000+ Brisbane 65nm) and a good case (Cooler Master Centurion 5 w/ Scythe SlipStream 1600rpm) and stock CPU cooler, the processor would never go over 55ºC or so, even with the room at 35ºC. From all the things you don't have my first suspect would be the...

(Idk anything about replacing parts for different ones in prebuilt computers...) That's what an imaging program does. "Cloning" is producing another disk that has the same data and can be used as replacement. Cloning can be done by partitioning programs, not only imaging programs, but it has...

Supposing you haven't got one of those very small sized pendrives connected, or a disc left in a DVD... I've read several times from MS that the Windows Recovery disk can reinstall what you had in Windows or something along those lines. Doing one here in my semi-powerful W10 (FX8350) or basic...

If you want to consider alternative strategies: - An internal secondary disk as the main storage. Internal buses are better for massive data. - Copy the images to external disks. I use 2 high quality 256 GB pendrives alternately. My technical (installers, documents,...) and personal data is...

Encrypting has physical advantages, it randomizes the data and allows higher density. This allows the manufacturer to save costs, in HDDs higher density implies smaller plates for the same capacity (your drive does also have another trick to increase density, it's an SMR drive, but this is...
