if the pins are not touching and there is nothing connected to any of the usb ports, there is probably something wrong with your motherboard... You should turn it in for RMA...

You can't directly use your Video card in the VM. You can passthrough USB devices but not your video card as the VM would need full control of the Video Card which your PC's OS will not give, because then your main OS will lose it's video card and would not be able to display anything. Still, PCI and PCIexpress passthrough is a relatively new technology and requires dedicated hardware support (IOMMU called VT-d by intel and AMD-vi) and you would need a video card which is not being used by your host OS. Even then you could run in a lot of problems as it is all quite advanced stuff.

No, there won't be any performance issues, windows can generally manage this stuff quite well. Still if you want to make it a single partition, you have to delete both the partitions of "E" (backup the data first, of course ) and then create a new single partition. Also, you can't delete the 2nd E: partition(390gb, the one on the right), before the 100gb (one on left) because your E: partition starts from the 390gb partition.

Resource Tuner is another one. But last time i checked, this one had really bad reviews.

The NICs and cables are work properly when connected to a router or switch. I am having this problem with 5 different machines, all are pcs from different manufacturers, and the problem is only with Win10. It works on Win8.1.

USB headers are at the bottom of the motherboard are there any cables connected to these headers. Check if any pins are bent and touching each other.

Open registry editor(regedit in RUN) Navigate to - Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts now delete the .msc key (folder) This generally resets file associations.

You could use a program called Resource Hacker. Just make a backup of the original exe.

If you don't want your 1tb hdd and ssd to show up on your 160 gb hdd windows disable them on from device manager on your 160gb hdd windows. Also, if you want to keep the two installations of windows totaly separate, when you are installing windows on your 160gb hdd,, unplug the other two drives as windows installer puts the bootloader on the disk which already contains a bootloader(it creates a new one if there are none). Doing this will make your 160g drive bootable but you have to select it from bios every time you want to boot from it.

You can only extend a partition in a contiguous manner(to free space next to it) on a basik disk. If you want to add space to a pattition before(on the right side) it, you have to convert your disk in a "Dynamic disk". You can convert your disk from "Basic Disk" to "Dynamic Disk" by right clicking on Disk 0 and selecting convert to dynamic disk.

It looks like you tried to add unalocated space of the disk to a partition which occupied space after the unalocated space, which is not possible in a basic disk. Every partition in a basic disk can only occupy space in a continuous manner, so you only extend it with contiguous free space, not with free unalocated space before it. This can only be done with a dynamic disk. Windows must have asked you to convert your basic disk into a dynamic disk and when you click OK, it did. This is fine, you don't need to worry as dynamic disk allows you to do advance stuff like making a partition span multiple disks. The colour is now yellow because all the volumes are now "Dynamic Volumes". And yes you do have 2 partitions which are only one as "1->E:Steam" part of your "E:" partition is the appended to your "2->E:Steam" partition, that is, your "E" drive starts on your HDD from "2" and ends on "1". This non contiguous nature of your E drive requires your disk to be Dynamic. Hope this solves your doubts... :-)

yes, i did set static ip on both pcs. There is no link and i can not ping. I tried patch as well as crossover cables.

Can some one please tell how do I connect two pc with ethernet P2P. It used to work on Windows 8.1 and previous versions, but on Win10, I just can't connect. Network status shows sending packets instead on bytes and nothing is recieved. What's changed and how can I connect. Can someone please help.?
