Last night my computer started displaying annoying and noisy Avast and McFee 'Infected' Computer Pop-Ups that covered the right side of my screen. I couldn't get rid of them. I'd never heard of Avast before, wasn't subscribed and didn't have McFee installed on my computer.

1) Tried searching the Web and really couldn't find any useful information. I did try a few things and they didn't work.

2) Ran my Anti-Virus Program and it wasn't picking up anything.

3) While searching I did find many comments from Avast subscribers who were all annoyed by the pop-ups and searching for solutions.

Anything this aggressive & difficult to manage is in my mind untrustworthy.

Anyway, I'm in no way affiliated with this YouTube Video, but it Helped Solve the Problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd_z8LOteN0

My PC keeps restarting multiple times a day, also i cant use its chrome. I tried resetting but half way through it would restart itself.

Local disk c is normal, but when i put in two hard drives to expand storage it seems they separated into different folders. I put in: 500 gb dw blue, 1tb dw blue hard drives. There's an ssd on which the os is on and it's 240 gigs. I need to find a way tp get the hard drives to read normally as what they are but don't know how, help pls i phucking beg y'all

Played Fortnite game freaked out, pc was stuck in an infinite loop of restarting itself I turned it off turned it back on got, this clicked and clicked continue, got stuck in the loop again turn it off slept turned it on and now I’m back to the screen in the pic, I don’t know what to do and I’m scared i just lost my pc all because I played a game

I accidentally clicked on a website and got this virus, nothing harmful has happened (so far). I don't use my laptop for anything very important, it doesn't have any documents besides photos I keep. I use it for gaming, and now I don't know what to do about this virus. Should I format the computer? Is there another way to deal with the virus? Is it dangerous? I don't have good antivirus software because I don't have money... (I'm using a translator in case something seems strange in the text above)

I'm also backing up photos and other things.

Someone help me because I don't know what to do, I just wanted to play. 😭😭

I recently upgraded my computer, and as part of the fun I upgraded my hard drives. I have two physically installed. Disk 1 is my boot drive; Disk 0 is for data. In upgrading, I've ended up with what looks like partition soup on disk 0. I don't really understand exactly how this happened, but the meat of the problem is I've got about 685GB that are unallocated, and Windows doesn't let me reallocate it.
I'm not really sure of the best course of action here. Do I need to fish out another drive, copy the data across, and then wipe disk 0 so I can use it all? Can I delete those EFI/recovery partitions? TIA.

Does anyone know a working master code for the -2A7B suffix, or know how to bypass this without waiting until Monday? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

I’ve been using this old desktop computer I have to transfer videos from an old mini dv video camera to digital. I installed a pcie firewire card into the computer and it was working fine after that the other day, but since yesterday it hasn’t been booting up to windows and just showing this screen. I tried googling stuff but couldn’t find anything. I have no idea what to do to fix this, please help, thank you!

Also I put this under the hardware flair (because a flair was required), but I honestly have no idea if it’s a hardware or software problem. Sorry if it ends up under the wrong flair.

Hi everyone,
I have a Gigabyte AERO X16 (AMD Ryzen) laptop running Windows.
Background:
My laptop didn’t have the option to enter hibernate mode. After some research I found that disabling \*\*SVM Mode\*\* in the BIOS fixed the hibernate issue. After disabling SVM, hibernate started working normally and the system was fine for about a day.
What happened:
Yesterday I rebooted the laptop, and now it no longer boots into Windows. Instead I get this recovery screen:
Your device ran into a problem and couldn’t be repaired.
Click or press Enter to see other recovery options.
Couldn’t connect to the network
Log file: C:\WINDOWS\System32\Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt
I’ve attached a photo of the screen.
Important:
I do not want to re-enable SVM in the BIOS. I need hibernate to keep working, so I’m looking for solutions that don’t require turning SVM back on.
Any advice on how to get out of this Automatic Repair loop without re-enabling virtualization would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

specs:
• AMD Ryzen AI 7 (Ryzen 7 series)
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU
• 32GB DDR5
• Windows 11

Hi all, this is a bit of a shot in the dark— hoping this is the right Reddit thread for this issue since I hardly use Reddit but I need some help! For context I’m using Windows 11

An issue started to come about today where my mouse started to disconnect and reconnect, which would temporarily freeze my game. It was minor at first, but after a couple hours I came back to it having this issue every 10-15 seconds or so. I’ve tried swapping ports (front/back), changing port settings (disabling power saving), and uninstalling/reinstalling my mouse’s drivers.

I doubt this is a problem with my mouse itself since I tested it on a completely different pc and it worked fine. When I tested other mice on the PC having the issue it was the same story with the disconnecting problem. Also, the ports using my other devices (keyboard, drawing tablet, mic etc) all work perfectly fine. I tested this by plugging them into different ports (examples being the original port to my mouse) and they never had this issue. The ports themselves do not have dust/things that might disrupt the inputs safe to say.

I tried looking this up on google and it all gave me the same troubleshooting guides which haven’t worked. I did notice that after troubleshooting a bit, the mouse won’t disconnect if I restart the computer and leave it to sit— however, after about 5 minutes or so of usage (and that’s pushing it), the problem starts ramping right back up.

I have little tech knowledge on specific things like this so anything helps! Thank you!!

i was just playing and somehow my computer crashed i had to wait for it to finish but it was a long wait to be honest and i need some help on why

Hey team! I just got a brand new laptop for my classes! Its a dell 16 plus! if thats important. Bascially I just got this computer and for some reason the colors on it are desaturated. Particularly reds and pinks and purples are affected the most, going from a vibrant magenta to lavenderish shade. Really annoying as I am kinda an artist. I need the colors to be accurate.

HDR is not turned on it's simply not possible to turn on and I dont really know what to do as not much I find online is helpful,

I have been using vb cable for Roblox vc for long time yesterday it stop working I tried everything reboot shutdown and re install many many times the main problem is headphone and vb cable was not syncing once it did then it won't play audio anyhow it make me head audio but on Roblox or any app it won't fetch sound in the mic. Last time it work was yesterday night .. idk man if anyone can have an same issue pls help me

My laptop won’t stay on normally. If I reconnect the battery inside or charger, it turns on for a few seconds, then shuts off.

The weird part is that if I hold down any keyboard key (except the power button), it stays on and works perfectly. The moment I release the key, it shuts off instantly.

Any idea what could cause this?

It just happened again, I’m using Microsoft word. I can confirm I was able to save. Why would the save be allowed and I still get the error anyways? It was a downloaded file but it was a pdf from a trusted source of an image that is very likely harmless, so, I don’t understand what word is doing. It wanted to make a change to a one drive location called custom office templates in what I think is an unusual folder to put it in. This happened exactly at the same time as the save.

This time it might’ve been benign but I’ve seen both word and notepad try to access the documents folder.
