BSODing about once per day at the moment. Error codes seem to be suggesting a driver or RAM issue. Latest windowns Debugger report from the DMP file reads: SYMBOL_NAME: win32kbase!tagDomLock::LockShared+13 MODULE_NAME: win32kbase IMAGE_NAME: win32kbase.sys IMAGE_VERSION: 10.0.18362.778 STACK_COMMAND: .thread ; .cxr ; kb BUCKET_ID_FUNC_OFFSET: 13 FAILURE_BUCKET_ID: AV_win32kbase!tagDomLock::LockShared OS_VERSION: 10.0.18362.1 BUILDLAB_STR: 19h1_release OSPLATFORM_TYPE: x64 OSNAME: Windows 10 FAILURE_ID_HASH: {711fac21-5d21-0a70-dadf-a81c7067a4c7} Followup: MachineOwner

no errors detected. im installing window degbugger to try and get access to the memory dump files but i cant seem to give my account permission to access the files

unfortunately i have had 4 PC crashes since it was meant to be sorted. Apparently these could be related to the installation of a new driver, which i dont know can be easily solved seeing as i installed a whole bunch of drivers with the fresh install

I would have done but it wouldnt let me as the last update was more than 10 days ago or something along those lines.

ok so i made a fresh windows installation and kept only my files and it seems to be okay again. internet fine. audio back,. just need to reinstall all my apps thanks again for your help guys but lastly...any recommended diagnostics to run now ?

yeah thats what im doing at the moment, just creating an installation media on the pen drive...i had an older one on there but it wont let you do anything other than a total wipe (with an older installation media) and i dont want it wiping my D drive as well

realtek audio driver - " Install realtek HD audio driver failure!! error code 0x000000D At this point it doesnt seem like a coincidence that the audio and network adaptor isnt working. it seems like something has become properly corrupted and i can only think that it needs some other major reset somehow

Ethernet error " realtek network controller was not found. if deep sleep mode enabled please plug the cable" - googled the fixes for this and they dont work either

windows reset done and absolutely none of the problems have gone away.

event viewer doesnt work " event log service unavaliable verify the source is running" windows updated more than 10 days ago but either way i cant update it now as it wont connect to the internet ethernet drivers have been uninstalled and reinstalled several times. wont finish the install, comes up with another error. same for the audio drivers. half way through the install and another error.

Ethernet. cable and router are fine and have been restarted. Ive reinstalled the drivers from motherboard manufactuer and realtek itself and get the same error message for both. Device manager can see the network adaptor but the system is acting like there isnt one on the motherboard. its looking like a hard reset at this point

same issues in safe mode. i tried reinstalling the network drivers but it still cant detect a network. as this point i am going to do a windows reset and just reinstall my programs etc

So, when i only have one cable in DP or HDMI, it goes to the first display. but still has no internet no sound and GEforce program seems to not be detecting the card or something. i dont know if windows has updated recently but either way i cant because it wont connect to the internet also not quite clear why its been fine having two cables plugged in, now its freaking out i can give you a call in a sec if youre not busy

Copy and paste from what ive put on Overclockers....friend who hasnt replied is Diddums (im assuming he is working from home and/or has other stuff do deal with so hasnt been able to reply to me yet). Trying to get this sorted ASAP as i am meant to be working from home and i need the desktop for work. Thanks! I will post as much information as i can, but this will probably be quite long winded.my system:Windows 10 - running a non-activated version as i was waiting to see if i could get a key through work etc, but never got round to sorting it.AMD Ryzen 5 2600Gigabyte X-370 Gaming 3 motherboardVulcan T Force DDR4 2x8 GBPalit GeForce 1060 3GBCorsair PSU240GB SDD (OS is on this)2 TB HDD (for all my stuff)OKSo a few days ago i was launching something on my PC and i got a blue screen error message (not BSOD but it was a blue screen message) something like " your system has crashed " with a sad face and QR code. This crash happened again when i restarted. I figured this could be related to my C drive having far too little space left (4gig out of 240) so i cleared it back to 30 gig free space and my PC seemed fine.I checked windows reliability centre and performed a memory diagnostic with windows tool. nothing found and the reliability report was "Bluescreen code 1a".I sent this information to a friend who i trust has reasonable knowledge of PCs (its his job, reason im posting is he hasnt gotten back to me and i need it sorted asap)..He suggested that this could be an intermittent RAM issue and that the longer i run my PC with RAM problems the worse it will get. He suggested reseating/resetting the RAM and trying again. So, i turned off the PC unplugged everything. I took out the RAM. They are in slots 2 and 4. slot 2 was covered in dust and there was a bit of dust build up on the GPU and CPU fan. i tried to gently blow away as much dust as i could. I am 99.9% certain i havent disloged anything or broken any other component.This is where things get squirrely. I turned the PC back on. It loads the gigabyte BIOS screen. Then shows the windows logo and a loading circle for 3s, then the screen goes totally blank. I restarted a few times and it was the same. I left it the final time for 30m while i went to get breakfast and calm down and came back to a normal login screen. I logged into the PC. Everything seemed fine.I spent the day doing some work, had YT music on, played some AOE level games, nothing crazy. I then cancelled my Xbox subscription on my PC as well. I thought everything was fine and shut down the PC over dinner.Here we go again.I started the PC back up. Gigabyte BIOS screen, windows logo. Blank screen. Nothing happening. As it happens, i can hear Discord incoming call music being played through my headphones so i figure the system is actually on. So with the blank screen i hit enter and type my password. my desktop appears! Except....- all my desktop icons are gone- any program i launch remains in the system tray and cant be maximised- When i hover the mouse over something in the system tray and it pops up, i can see that it is running but not maximising, eg i can open MS word and get the minimised version and see that when i type words appear but it just wont maximise anythingI have a second acquaintance who at this point suggested trying to restart with the RAM in slots 1 and 3 and also taking one out at a time to see if it is a faulty RAM unit. I did this and i had the same problem with each RAM unit and in any of the slots.This is were things get weird again.I have my monitor plugged into my GPU with HMDI and the displayport cables. When i changed one displayport for a different one, my desktop icons appeared again ! I thought it was fixed but no. Now:- my computer does not have internet (tried reinstalling network drivers and it did nothing, windows troubleshoot just says "no internet"- my audio driver doesnt work- all my desktop icons are back and i can seemingly launch programs with no problems- my steam account logged me out and wants to reinstall saying something like “we have detected system changes and need to reinstall to prevent cheating etc etc”This is where I tapped out an went to bed. I started it up again just now and we are back to the “no desktop icons” problem.SO yeah, I appreciate this is long winded, but I am at my wits end. My friend hasn’t gotten back to me yet and I really need this sorted as working from home with my laptop will be very awkward.With my limited knowledge I would have thought that something has happened to the software when I reseated the RAM, but I am confused as to why the system worked fine all day and then this happened when I restarted it again.I am considering CMOS reset or reinstalling windows entirely, but at this point I am pulling from online forums and I could really use some advice before I take any other steps.

i think i can set up a certain folder not to sync, but its very irritating having to either turn one drive off entirely or remember that the moment you transfer a file to a different location it starts uploading..eh ill play around with it and probably just turn it off entirely

No, if you delete anything on one drive it deletes it from the pc or laptop the file is on. It is incredibly annoying as it is called "drive" but is actually a syncing platform it seems. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk

This thing is a piece of shit. Does anyone have a way of deleting whats on One Drive without deleting the file from the computer as well ? The only fix i have found is to put everything i want to keep onto a hard drive, remove it from the PC then wipe one drive.

Boris may be many things, but i am glad he is deferring to the experts around him and doing what they are suggesting. I watched his briefing yesterday and reading between the lines the army will be on the streets this week i am almost certain. probably ration books too (I am also privy to other bits of info) British public has not demonstrated it can retain self control with regards to panic buying or staying at home.

So the refurbished on arrived. Looks brand new other than some minuscule cosmetic damage I had to go looking for. Can anyone suggest what I might check to ensure that it is not going to burn out or break on me ? It's from a MS certified refurbished, so I am assuming it has been looked at and upgraded to an adequate level. Is there anything anyone could suggest to check before deciding to keep it ? (Purchased online, can send back). Theres an invoice with it with a whole bunch of tests its passed but it is meaningless to me. I took the back case off and there is little dust and I cant see any discoloration or any suspect looking soldering or anything like that. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk

Ordered the elite book in the end. Will see how it looks when it arrives and make a decision. I had a think and decided that it might be better to have a more powerful machine as some of the image files I open can be around 300MB and I want to use graphics packages etc Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk

Shipment I actually have a chance to have some fun. Its stupid but i dont mind playing some ridiculous matches like that for a while. My experience otherwise has just been frustrating. Every match is one or two kills. Death. Rinse and repeat. That's for a decent match. Otherwise I find I'm getting stuck in stupid 5 death streaks which have nothing to do with my skill. Spawn in, dude is already preaiming my spawn, preaiming the first corner I come to, spawns me with my back facing another player etc. I cant advance around a map because theres just too many lines of sight. But it's not tactical enough to be able to play like a BF map or something similar, to choose an alternate route etc. I try and advance to where the other team is and there is always a camper in a dark corner. It just pays far too much to sit and not move. But yeah the camera angles things just infuriates me to the point of uninstallation. Its okay doing badly because the other team is just straight up better, but its not cool when you move around a corner and start shooting, get 2 hit markers, die and then the killcam shows you coming out of cover waaaayyy before you start shooting.
