Is there a way to know what component was removed from a computer
by Guest nmeri17- 0 replies
- 199 views
I inadvertently left my computer with one of my computer repairers to attend to some exigencies. My computer is always on hibernate due to the nature of my work, but on my return, it had been turned off. This means someone tried turning it on but couldn't get past the login prompt. I took the computer home and checked its properties: I've still got 2.4 dual cores, 500gb hd and 3.89 ram. One of the reasons I'm skeptical is because, after my system booted, I saw this message about certification encryption wizard. I've never seen that since I got my computer 4 years ago. I googled its trigger but nothing triggers it. Secondly, my computer now hangs!!! I've run hea…

Error Code

Hi, I have a Toshiba Laptop, Satellite Pro C870 Series. I’m kind of certain I’ve had it now about (5) years or more. It’s been through a lot. About a month and a half ago it froze up. It became unfroze after about a day later. I pressed the power button and only the Toshiba Leading Innovation came up along with a clicking sound. I played around with it until I became frustrated and just unplugged it and left it alone for a while. I just recently tried powering it up and still screen and clicking. I did a hard boot, meh. Then I took the entire laptop apart, cleaned it out, put it back together and the clicking ended. A screen came up error code: 0xc0000185 / File:\EFI\Micr…

I have Windows 10 Home on Dell Inspiron 15 3000 Series. I enjoy Spider Solitaire and Free Cell, so I downloaded the Microsoft Solitaire Collection. I noticed from time to time that my entire computer was very, very slow. After a lot of looking, I uninstalled the Solitaire Collection and the problem subsided. I've since tried downloading it again, but the same issue returned. I enjoy the way the games play, but I won't download it again unless I can find a way to have it without slowing down my computer. Any suggestions? Continue reading...
