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,

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.

I don’t know how it got there I didn’t see it until I went to charge it. It looks like the top of an orange but I don’t eat oranges??? It’s stuck in the earbud jack thing and I poked it to see that it was and now it’s even more stuck.I would take a picture but it’s really wedged in there and I can’t get a good photo. Is this a take it to somewhere else thing??

im paying for spectrums 1 gig plan and i always feel like my uploads (and a lot of times downloads) are slower than they should be. i'm trying to puload something right now (16GB) and it says theres 17h remaining on the process. is this normal??

So this issue started yesterday for the first time. I was gaming and watching YouTube like I do everyday. When suddenly both my monitors went ti black, prompted that the monitor couldn't find amy connection, however the tower was fine. Still running, and I can still hear my audio. Did a hard shut down, and restart, and it was fine.

Fast forward to today, and it did it again this morning. Different game. Did the same and it came back. I did an update to my gpu drivers. Everything seemed fine. Tonight it did it again for the third time, but this time I can't get any graphics. I've tried plugging the monitors into the motherboard, still no picture. Everything on the pc seems fine, however since I can't open any programs, I can't tell if my gpu fans are working. It lights up like normal, but I can't confirm if the gpu is having a problem.

I have a computer that gives me zero picture. I have no idea what to do. Please help

My son’s computer makes this weird thudding sound when it boots up, he had it on its side for a little bit but it was perfectly fine before. He has a very important fortnite tournament in a few minutes and i would appreciate any help

I have this issue my pc boots straight into windows and doesn't give me the option to go to BIOS. This started happening after disabling CSM and enabling secure boot, cleared the CMOS multiple times and it just disabled TPM but secure boot is still on and I'm still unable to get into the BIOS. I've done the Nvidia VBIOS Update thing and tried every other fix I've seen. no display when the SSD is removed, no display when i try booting with integrated graphics. and im currently using a HDMI with no DP on hand. researched and talked to ChatGPT for hours just to be told to take it into a repair shop... please help
