Ahh cool, thanks!

I am due a reinstall of the system. Can i just copy the product ID from the computer about page for when im asked for the windows key to verify that I have a legal licence of windows 10? If not, where can I find the windows 10 key? Or is it now tied to my email address that is connected to the...

Yeah, looking at programdata and program files - its mainly my audio programmes - most of the space being samples and audio files. I usually select to have that kind of data stored on a different drive when I have been able to, but not always possible. I will monitor with Treesize. @Martinr36...

Thanks for that - First time I have seen hiberfil.sys, as even though I have view hidden files switched on, I could not see that file... Now, next question if this is what is causing it - I have all hibernation settings switched off in settings, as I never had a use for this (although I have...

Hello, Title says it really. I keep making space on c drive and it keeps disappearing! I am not installing anything there as I keep most stuff off of the c drive. Yesterday for example I cleared about 36Gb - this morning it was still there - went out for an hour, came back and the drive was on...

From PC Specialist - Switch *all* the options to on. There were a few options I had not enabled in the bios - While I had turned on the TB, and the Alpine Ridge stuff, there were still a few options I had not switched on (which were for standard TB, not the Alpine Ridge specific - but Asus...

Actually, I got it working. 😬

oh :(

Also, just remembered, there are settings in the bios that specifically name the card. (enabling didnt seem to do anything though) These are present, even though I have taken the card out for now: Alpine Ridge XHCI WA - enabled AR XCHI Host prewake - enabled AR XCHI Host active LTR - 20 AR...

As I said its the Gigabyte Alpine Ridge (rev 2). PC Specialist recommended it to me when I asked them for one. Is this the page you woere asking for: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GC-ALPINE-RIDGE-rev-20#ov

I've just added a thunderbolt card to my set up - Gigabyte Alpine Ridge. I have gone into the bios and turned on the thunderbolt option, and assigned the PCI port that I have installed the card on. However when I boot into windows, device manager does not show the thunderbolt card, and the...

With the driver uninstalled the problem persist. Spoke to tech support too - looks like gpu. It happens when the gpu has been pushed, and the fan goes like the pc is about to take off. And GPU is being pushed by games that shouldnt be pushing it as well.

😭 Had my first crash. No dump file in windows dir. The only things I have installed this week are a bunch of games and the prism driver. The interesting thing about the reinstall is that games that had previously set the GPU fan going were not. And then I install Valheim, and off they go...

Xcom has been running fine. Tested/played a few other games that had also caused issues and so far no crash after exit. So, so far, so good. Startup seems much smoother. Barely anything is installed, only the graphics driver and steam. One thing I have found interesting is the GPU fan hasn't...

nvidia driver uninstalled with DDU, latest driver installed, no audio. chkdsk run on all drives, everything looks ok. Problem persists. Looks like its a reinstall :(

Checking windows security, only MB comes up - so I assume defender is inactive?

No, I have the premium version. Is this a one or the other type situation? Defender doesn't do scans, and I havent really touched it. (I note in your other post, it is said defender is sufficent, and I am aware of this). I figuered my biggest threat could be potential drive bys from compromised...

No minidumps Did not use DDU, so will do that in a mo. MBAM slows whole system regardless of which drive it is scanning.

Ok, so I removed all the nvidia drivers, then reinstalled (latest drivers) without audio. I noted that there still seemed to be a left over nvidia high quality audio driver that had no uninstall button, but I uninstalled in the device manager. I set default audio to the realtek. Next I...

Interesting, PrismSoundWDM was referenced before a couple of times in Whocrashed (before the win update). I had recently updated the hardware firmware and drivers/control software in response to this (as far as I can tell, not beta, most recent update last year). I will check the other points...
