I have an ASUS TUF Gaming X570-plus motherboard, and a few days ago, I installed the latest BIOS update (5013) and since then, I have had all kinds of issues with memory. I had all these errors popping up and I have had to resort to doing memory testing. After a few hours of tests, I found that ALL of the memory checks out and that it's a DIMM slot on the motherboard (Slot A1) that is causing the memory problems and crashes, so I removed the DIMM from the slot and it's been fine since. I inspected the slot and I don't see any damage or burns in he slot. Even though this is a signal that the mobo is starting to go out, what still gets me is that the board is only 4 years old and that I have NEVER had a single issue with memory until I did this recent bios update. It's weird, but I just can't ignore it. Is there something I'm missing?

I'm using Windows 11 Pro, but I have an issue with the Windows Backup. I have it set to run every Sunday at 4pm, but it never completes the task. The backup medium is brand new, and I have checked it or errors and it's perfectly fine. I make sure that there are no apps running in the background, and it is running at a time I am away from the PC, so it's not in use. I'm looking for an alternative to Windows Backup. Free and paid options. Any suggestions?

I have just recently updated up work/gaming/production setup with a second monitor, and I was wondering if there is any software that can help me with managing both of them. Right now I am just relying on using Windows 11 for monitor management, as the second monitor will only be used for specific operations, but I have found that it is rather clunky between switching from one monitor in use to two. Or do I still need to get used to using two monitors? Thank you advance for the help and suggestions.

I recently updated my BIOS for my TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) motherboard, and I'm having issues with the memory. Under the older BIOS I was able to enable D.O.C.P. and adjust my Memory frequency to 3200Mhz. I have Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (4 X 8GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4-25600) C16 1.35V Desktop Memory installed. The BIOS was reporting the memory speeds wrong so I set it to 3200MHz in the AI tweaker under BIOS, but since then, the PC hangs on the Amber light for Memory, and I have to reset the PC to get it to boot. I have tried to set it back to auto in the settings, and the problem still remains. Can anyone help me with this? My PC was working just fine until I updated the BIOS. Edit: Removed screenshot and Posted a video detailing what the issue is. Edit: I Figured it out. https://youtu.be/lUFsec2iyBQ

I'm still on Windows 10 and using Defender, but I wonder is it still good to use in 2022. I have been using it since windows 10 came out and I have never really had an issue with viruses Malware or Ransomware (To be clear though, I make sure to avoid janky websites). I'm also a developer and streamer/gamer so security is rather important, and I want to make sure I'm up to date on protection. So should I still keep using Windows defender, or find something else?

windows 10 Transferring Windows 10 Licenses
GodOfKnockers replied to GodOfKnockers's topic in Windows
I got windows 10 activation via digital license. The free upgrade when Windows 10 came out in 2015 That license is connected to my Microsoft account. -
I got a new PC from a friend of mine and I plan to install Windows 10 on it, and I want to give the one I have to a family member. Is there any way to transfer the license key from this PC to the new one? My copy of Windows 10 was activated via a digital license connected to my Microsoft account. If I have to buy new keys that's fine, I just want to know if I can transfer the activation from one PC to another. Thanks in advance for the replies.

Pop OS or Xubuntu?
GodOfKnockers replied to GodOfKnockers's topic in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows
For Pop OS, do you recommend the standard (21.04) or LTS (20.04)? -
I'm making a Dual Boot system, but I can't decide which Linux OS to use. Both Os'es are good and their setups are the same, including setting up the partitions for them both, but I can't decide which one will give me the most bang for the buck (and yes I know they are both free, that was a figure of speech). So, Suggestions?

I have 2 USB portable drives that use Windows 10 BitLocker, which has worked pretty well for some time, but as of late I have found that I'll need those drives to read/transfer files from Windows 10 AND Linux, so bitlocker isn't going to cut it anymore. Can anyone recommend a good drive encryption software that I can use in both Windows and Linux?
