Thanks to you all... I wondered myself if it were the capacity of the PSU that was causing me problems it's only a 650 but its a Corsair Gold one, so in theory it 'should' be ok... I have tried unplugging stuff for the record, and I did use a hub for about a week until it blew up an xbox 360...

Hi all, Everyone here is always so helpful, so I thought I'd bring my own personal problem to the boards to see if anyone has any ideas. I have a lot of USB connected 'stuff' I have one of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Razer-Tartarus-Expert-membrane-Gaming/dp/B00ELGHM8C One of these...

Hi again everyone, Well it gets weirder... We have stopped Dropbox updating the PST file altogether, It literally now updates ONLY files. Graphics, PS files, In Design files.. That sort of thing. Yet STILL the drive (the new SSD remember) just drops when ever it feels like it. Has done it...

Sorry I don't understand the confusion.. When was it stated that the SSD was the only drive in the system?? If you read my initial post you will see that the wifes PC has a C:drive that has windows etc on it, and a D: drive that has all her design work AND the PST file for Outlook.. Total file...

Thanks everyone for your input GREATLY appreciated! I read on another forum that the PST file of the monthly subbed Outlook is a 'live' file and though I dont really understand what that means in terms of backup I am guessing its likely that this is the trouble. Just wanted others thoughts...

Thanks for the replies guys... DrBob, we are trying exactly that now.. Put the PST back where Outlook expects it to be on the C: drive. I will let you know here is we have any further issues. rclarke250, Hardware forum because it doesn't 'feel' like a software problem. As I stated very...

I have one WEIRD problem folks... All I can say about it is that somehow Outlook is crashing a hard drive! I know, I know! I am a PC engineer of 20+ years, there is NO WAY this can happen.. But let me assure you it IS happening. Heres the details. Typically its the close to home computer...

This is a brilliant idea, and I will certainly find use for that little tidbit in the future!! :) It seems the culprit is wmiprvse.exe, which is part of the windows system I found out after a bit of research. Problem is, I don't know what to do about it. I have read lots of posts where it's...

Yeah thanks for the help folks.. I did actually suspect that it was something to do with those handlers.. I have a suspect that is the newly installed JustCloud (backup) tool.... However I run the Shell ExView, and that particular handler is not in the list. At all! The problem with this is...

Hi all, I use my desktop a lot to temporarilly store files. I always have, so I notice when something changes. Just yesterday, I started having a 4 or 5 second 'pause' before the menu appears when clicking on files on the desktop! Until yesterday, this was, as I would expect it to be...

Ok, this is driving me MENTAL! GRR! My laptop will not connect to my home PC! When I try to Map a network drive Vista asks for a password, and there isn't one! How do I get round this please? Oh, I have another PC in the house (windows 7) and Mapping a network drive is as simple as saying...

I just reinstalled a customers PC with windows Ultimate. After setting up her network, all her database, programs etc... We found that windows won't boot unless the Windows dvd is in the cd rom drive! It just gives the Hard disc failure error at post! It must be getting some kind of boot info...

Hi all, I have a quad core P4 2.4ghz 4 gig of ram, and a Nvidia 9600 Graphics card. The machine is installed (and has been for about a year) with Vista Ultimate edition 64bit. Now, its begun to show the age old Microsoft problem of slowdown.. So my post is about this, as I am fed up to the...

Hi again all, been a while... Back for some more good advice :) My girlfriend has experienced this issue with 2 completely different laptops! Unfortunately my girlfriend and I have to spend quite a bit of time apart and she lives away from me often... She has an Acer Laptop that she uses...

And yet again more appologies...lol I have left out possibly the most important information.. Its not ALL video files.. Just some. Different formats too, not just one particular format. Kutter.
