Windows 10 Boot Error
by Guest MAJ.Spartan-S63=US=- 7 replies
- 4k views
Hey guys, I'm having an issue where Windows 10 won't boot. This is the second time it's happened. I solved it the first time by reinstalling Windows 10 altogether. The error I'm getting is a screen at boot up that winload.exe is missing or corrupted and it gives me an error code 0xe000000c. From the research I've done it looks like the boot record is being corrupted so I'm wondering if my SSD is starting to fail on me. I've tried using Windows' automated startup repair and I've tried doing repairs through the command prompt but nothing's worked so far. Anyone have any ideas on what else to try or whether it could be hardware related?

Lack of funding
by Guest Jones- 4 replies

So I would like to make some upgrades to my pc. Particularly a monitor with a higher refresh rate and a second gtx 970 graphics card. Due to medical reasons I am currently unemployed, so I don't have incoming cash to put to the project. Is it reasonable or ethical to use a crowdfunding source like KickStarter to raise money for my project?

Computer won't boot
by Guest Ednac- 10 replies
- 4.1k views
Its nothing to do with Windows, but rather some hardware. I press the on button and it just shuts itself back off. Before it was turning itself back on when I turned it off. I've tried some conventional things but no luck. Is it power supply or connection or what? Do i need to give more info? Sometimes it gets to windows boot screen but then it stops working.

Windows Problems
by Guest CW4.Sharpz=US=- 8 replies
- 3k views
So I decided to reset my windows so I had a clean start at it. I downloaded the Windows Media onto a USB drive because apparently some files were missing the first time. With the USB in everything started well, the Mobo image came up with a percentage displaying how far along the reset was. So I left it be. Then the windows blue came up and stated that "there was a problem resetting your pc" so I click cancel and reset the computer. When it loaded up again via the USB, the windows 8 setup came up with options to Install Now or Repair your computer. I chose repair first and clicked troubleshoot. From there I tried both Refresh and Reset your PC. Both came up with the…

Battlelog Emblem Issues
by Guest RET.SFC.MissM4yhem=US=- 3 replies
- 2.3k views
Hey all, Having some issues with Battlelog and copying emblems. I have tried the Colonel's suggestion here, as well as the procedure here. I keep getting an "IMAGE_SAVE_ERROR" message in a red bar at the top of the page, and the emblem won't copy over. Been searching the Googles, and it seems to be pretty common. Anybody else have this issue and find a workaround? I don't wanna get slapped with an NJP for failure to follow protocol, but I can't for the life of me get this to work. Thanks ahead of time. EDIT: The only thing I've been able to find is exporting/importing using the browser console, but you need access to the emblem through the editor. If anyone can expo…

Anyone, I've lost audio on YouTube, BF4, everything. The audio loss is accompanied by other events. When I launch a YouTube video, I get the message at the top of the browser: A Pluggin- "Shockwave isn't responding", the message then disappears. After 30 secs or so, the video may start but without sound. Other programs "stop responding" as well. I was checking Windows sound and it stop responding too. A Windows and Soundblaster check both fail at producing audio. I check the Windows system file with the command prompt: sfc /scannow After the scan, corrupted files were restored but it didn't fix the issues. When I opened dxdiag, I got the error messag…

PC will not boot.
by Guest Hornet117- 9 replies
- 3.7k views
So here is a play-by-play on what has happened to my PC. 1: I just finished my Spanish Final Exam online. (secure website, I doubt it gave me a virus) 2: I load up YouTube and watch half a video and my PC suddenly bogs down and begins to run really slow. At the same time I hear the fan start blowing really hard. 3: I look at my computer status-bar and it shows my processor running at a flat 100% capacity. I pull up the task manager and it shows my Avast Anti-Virus is pulling 97-95% of my processor's capacity. Everything else looks good, other than the fact that its all running at a crawl. 4: Seeing that my Avast looks to be the issue I attempt to shut it d…

NVIDIA Shield/Tablet
by Guest Ret.Maj.Xander=US=- 4 replies
- 2.2k views
With my new build on the way, one thing I was planning on was getting the NVIDIA Shield so I can game abroad. I spoke with Maj.ShadowOp about that and I verified it does work over the internet and not just local wifi. I have an iPad which I am very happy with in terms of a tablet, this device will be primarily for remote gaming. A few years back I got beta access to OnLive which was fantastic and got me interested in "remote gaming". This I feel like is the next iteration of that. Honestly I think one day you will be able to "rent" a gaming rig somewhere in a server farm so you can game with ultra graphics on any computer with a faster internet connection. …

BF4 Has Stopped Working
by Guest MAJ.Spartan-S63=US=- 3 replies
- 2.2k views
I'm getting an issue where every time I try to join a server, BF4 stops working and I get the Windows error message. I've tried troubleshooting it a lot of different ways and have had no luck so far. I've already tried: Repairing the game Completely reinstalling the game Reinstalling DirectX Reinstalling my graphics card drivers Nothing's worked so far. However, strangely enough the 32 bit version of the game works (but is locked to 30 FPS, which is essentially unplayable). The 64 bit version crashes on startup and gives that Windows error message that it's stopped working. Does anyone have any other ideas on what I can do to troubleshoot it?

Advantages of Changing your DNS
by Guest ARCmedic- 2 replies
- 2.1k views
As some of you know, I am always looking for ways to improve my experiences. Computers, Networking, Cars, etc. One of the things I ran into was DNS changes because my ISP has been having server issues lately. I ran into a few options in changing your DNS from your ISP to a third party. I tried both Google Public DNS and OpenDNS. I have much faster web browsing speeds, more upload speed, and latency on BF4 Servers came down by about 8ms. What I like about Google DNS is they are huge and everything I have is connected to google already. Dont worry about privacy, because lets be honest, anyone can find out anything about you as long as you have an internet connection that…
