Hello, I needed to decultter my PC and decided to back everything up and reset my PC as it was having issues for a while. I reset my PC and waited for the wipe to happen. Upon the reset I noticed that it didn't go to the normal windows start screen but it tried to log in my old user account( with my Zelda login background, which is what struck me as odd) I tried to enter my pin bur got the message " user can't be logged in" or something to that effect. I can't do anything now, I've tried troubleshooting, I've tried booting from a USB with media creation tool on it. I've tried safeboot and have even tried to wipe the system again with no luck. Does anybody have any idea what messed up or the best way to fix or wipe things and start fresh?

Every time I restart or turn my pc off it acts as if it just crashed. "Default performance tuning settings have been restored due to an unexpected system failure" I don't have fast startup enabled. I just did a clean windows install, and I replugged my GPU. It was happening previously as well, not sure for how long though, but months at least. Why does it do that? At first I thought it was undervolting but it happens even if I just turn off zero-rpm mode.

I was just wondering if a simple "Reset To Optimized Default" can be really impactful or effective to reverting all the changes you did. Like for example, you turning on XMP, but then you changed your mind and changed The XMP Profile/Version, Changing Memory Frequency, etc. BUT can doing a "Reset To Optimized Defaults" Be that really effective/enough for you to fully revert to the settings you had before you even fiddled with your memory frequency and xmp settings? Or would it still be able to affect your PC in some way shape or form even when you booted up into windows normally even though you loaded the BIOS settings to "Reset to Optimized Defaults."

Hi! I need to reset a Lenovo Thinkpad E590 laptop but need to keep the Windows 10 Pro key and the factory pre installed genuine Office 2019 applications. If I correctly understood the Windows part shouldn’t be a problem because it is virtually activated and bound to the motherboard. I am still looking for a way to deal with the Office part. Another problem is that I cannot seem to reset the PC. I don’t have the option when accessing the troubleshooting menu, and using the Reset PC in the control panel prompt for me to restart and use a iso CD. Also when using F11 on start to access recovery mode, the text « Launching recovery mode » appears but it just continue to boot normally. I also can’t seem to find any Novo buttons anywhere on the chassis. If you can help, let me know! Thanks in advance

Lately my pc has been booting up slowly. I noticed that it takes the 2 boots for my computer to boot up. It shows me the bios flash screen twice before coming to windows. So i completely reset my pc with fresh windows thinking it was some windows issue . The issue still persisted. Later i noticed in my task manager that my ram speed was decreasing from the normal XMP profile so after every boot I have to boot into bios first and set my ram speed to XMP . My pc works just fine and the performance is also good just that this is causing inconvenience to me with delayed boot up and changing the ram speed after every boot up. My pc will be almost 3 years old in august and i have used 3200 mhz speed for the same amount of time. This is issue pretty new. My bios is up to date My specs are Ryzen 5 3600 MSI Gaming X Trio Rtx 2070 Super Gskill Neo 16gb 2x8 gb kit at 3200 mhz speed. Motherboard: Asrock B450 Steel Legend Windows is installed on my M.2 SSD 512 gb and games on my Hard drive 1TB. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

I cant update windows 10 or restart it. First, I'm trying to do a clean install of windows 10, but it won't let me. I've tried both doing a local and cloud reinstall. Both don't work, tells me something went wrong. Then I tried to update windows 10 and it won't let me. It keeps giving me error code 0x800700c1. I even tried manually installing the update through the installer from online. Didn't work. I'm not sure what to do, I don't really want to keep anything on the computer i just want a clean install.

Can you see what files were on a pc if it‘s factory reseted?
MilkShaker775 posted a topic in Windows
My question is, if you can see any kind of data that was on a Pc, before you factory reseted it choosing to delete all data. But does it really delete all data, or can you after setting up windows again, somehow see what data and account logins or whatever were on the drive? And if you could still access data would it be a difficult process to arrange that? I just wonder that because I sold my old pc and the only thing I did was a reset. I would appreciate an answer, thank you.- 5 replies

Hi! I've been experiencing a weird and very annoying trouble with my PC. My machine shuts down whenever I load it, doesn't matter if it's a gaming load or a work load (Vray - CPU based rendering). It usually happens after 3 to 4 hours of use. It's often a hard shutdown with the characteristic click coming from the PSU, the pwr led stays on but everything else seems powerless. Sometimes (like 3/10 times) the bios goes back to default settings, but I know the mobo is not the problem as it's brand new. I replaced the first one because of the same problems. In terms of troubleshooting, I stress-tested the ram for hours and the ssd's are healthy as well, there's no trouble there. The mobo can be discarded, i guess. This means that the GPU, CPU or PSU might be the problem. I know CPUs don't fail very often if they are not mistreated (overheating, too much voltage, overclocking) which is why I think that is not the issue here. The fact the the shutdown happends regardless of GPU or CPU load and the loud click leads me to believe that there's a PSU problem. Note: CPU and GPU temps are constantly checked and everything is normal. The only thing that seems a little bit odd is that now CPU clocks under load are a bit too low sometimes. Usually when I was rendering clocks wouldn't go below 3.9, now im seeing 3.7 and even 3.6. I'm relatively new to PC's, soo... I could be wrong. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

This has been concerning me big time. For the last week I have been getting daily account recovery codes from facebook. I use randomized passwords for everything and 2-factor authentication, so it appears that no one has been able to actually access my accounts, and I used the setting to sign myself out of everything just to be safe. In the emails there's always an option for if I wasn't the one that requested the code, yet this is still happening. I remember facebook used to show locations of where attempted logins came from, but it looks like they don't do that anymore. This has been weirding me out for a while. Normally these kinds of things happen a couple times and then they stop, but this person or program has been relentless with trying to get in. Does anybody have some advice or a similar experience to share?

I have been having this issue for a couple months now on every boot ever since I got my 2nd kit of ram (I did a reorder, both kits are exactly the same) and I have tried a couple of different solutions with no luck. I have tried changing the cmos battery 3 times now, which does work for a couple weeks, but I get the same problem. I have also attempted manually setting timings and voltages (although I'm noob at that so it is possible I could have done it wrong), enabling High Frequency Support, and swapping around the sticks in the slots. No overclocking has been done on my system yet, besides XMP. I currently am only using 2 sticks with XMP enabled since I know the problem is having the 4 sticks installed with XMP enabled. I can have 4 sticks installed running at stock speeds but I don't want that (Duh.) It may also be worth noting that on the ram sticks themselves say specifically that they are INTEL XMP 2.0 ready, not sure if that has much meaning. Anything else I can attempt or should be aware of? I don't have extra kits to test.

Basically my dads forgotten his laptop sign-in password, Its a local account not connected to Microsoft, so it been a bit extra tough. The data in his SSD is really important so I can't factory reset it entirely, Otherwise I could've easily cleaned it up and installed fresh windows. Its a dell Inspiron 7706 2n1 Laptop Processor 11th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-1165G7 Processor (12MB Cache, up to 4.7 GHz) Operating System Windows 10, English Memory* 16GB, 2x8GB, DDR4, 3200MHz Hard Drive 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive These are the basic specs, it's the core I7 variant. I've tried a lot of methods to bypass the sign-in including Using the recover image function and swapping the Ease of Access feature to cmd Prompt. ( Didn't work even opening image recovery required a password) Lazesoft Software I followed through on the tutorials present on the internet and Youtube, but it wouldn't detect my ssd, I checked out the support page and they said to download some drivers since some Laptops use Intel Rapid Storage Technology to improve SATA hard disk performance. If the Intel RST is set as AHCI or RAID mode, you need to load the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (Intel RST) RAID/AHCI driver. ( Did it and it didn't work, they were right about Intel RST being on though, because I checked the BIOS out and did find RAID On and the description mentions Intel RST) Tired using cmd prompt on a bootable USB to get into Local Disk C and change the User password ( Unfortunately it didn't work as it wouldn't detect my ssd either) Tutorial I was using P.s I'm not particularly tech savy, I do know a bit of my way around a computer though. Any help would be appreciated

Hi, I'm working on a chassis design and I have a question regarding how a start button functions. (not sure if this is the right subforum) Normally, the front IO start button cables are plugged into two motherboard connectors, plus and minus. But if there is no start button present, you can start the PC by making contact to both the + and - pins on the motherboard with an electrically conductive material and flipping the power switch on the power supply. So if i want to fabricate a custom power button, will it work like i've drawn in this picture? Sorry for the poor quality of the drawing, I hope it still conveys what i mean. The contact between the metal piece and wire ends essentially close the loop which starts the PC, is this correct?

Hi, im about to upgrade my motherboard, I've read online that I'll probably have to do a clean install of windows to get rid of the old motherboard drivers. Should I do the reset before or after I install the new motherboard or does it really matter?

As the title implies, im dealing with all these issues at once on a single PC. starting with specs: AMD fx6300 CPU evga 500 gold PSU Rog Strix rx570 GPU Asrock 970m pro3 motherboard seagate 1TB HDD 2x4gb g.skill 1333 ram loaded in slots 2 and 4 I believe The most common problem is PC freezing. When playing games or doing anything other than sitting on desktop the PC will eventually freeze, lock, and make the buzzing noise through audio. only fix for this is a press of the reset button. The other two happen in conjunction. USUALLY the PC will just cycle power randomly no matter what is going on and go through normal boot processes. A few failed boots will give me a blue screen. The motherboard is recently bought, like 3 days ago bought. it is refurbished so it very well might be at fault. all parts where previously working when attached to an older board. reason for change was that i needed a board with 6gb/s speed instead of 3. Ive noticed that the board does have clicking and whine coming from near the CPU, could be coil or board vrm. Only happens when cpu is under slight stress and gets worse as loads continue to increase and will lead to one of the mentioned crashes. The only time the computer doesnt crash is when its sitting at the desktop not doing anything other than background tasks. dmp files attached, I believe 2 are for hardware failures and 1 is a driver? hard for me to tell. Any help would be greatly appreciated. funds are tight and so I cant really be throwing parts at it. 110521-25203-01.dmp 110521-28968-01.dmp 110521-30000-01.dmp

tl;dr: What is the best way to have a fresh windows install; build-in factory reset option or clean install with media creation tool? My PC always has had some weird software quirks but nothing too alarming. I recently upgraded to Windows 11 (I know... probably should have waited) and my gaming performance has dropped considerably. I do not have a Ryzen CPU but an i5-9500K (full specs below). When I try searching for performance differences between Windows 10 and 11 there shouldn't be too much difference, at least for me. I decided to wipe my system to remove any potential software issues. What is the safest and best way to do it? I'm thinking that a factory reset is less thorough than a clean install off of a USB stick.

Hi, I'm having issues with my pc. Whenever I'm gaming for a longer period of time, my pc freezes. But not completely. When playing Valheim, all sound (in-game and Discord) cuts out, and after a few seconds the game freezes, but I can use alt+tab to open other windows. Those windows don't respond to anything I do, but I can see them. Task Manager does open, but I can't do anything in it, because it won't respond. When playing Northgard, my pc does exactly the same, but the game stil moves. I can move over the map, I see the characters moving, but they are moving in place and the game doesn't progress any further. And, same as before, Task Manager doesn't do anything. The only thing I can do to get out of it is to press the reset button on the pc. What I already tried: - Installing fresh windows 10 - Updated all drivers - Ran a memory test (matched.exe) - Ran the System File Checker (sfc /scannow) Is anyone here familiar with the issue, and do they have a fix for it? It is really frustrating when I try to play online with friends, because I never can complete a full game.

Hello, as the title indicates, I have a Linksys WRT1200AC router. For the past two days at around 8PM, my router has reset itself to factory default settings. I've been able to recover the router and restore it both times. What could be causing this issue? Too me, the regularity of the problem indicates a software issue. The router automatically updates so its firmware is modern. I've also not seen any evidence of any malicious devices on the network. Every device in the network map is mine or a family members. I recently configured an OpenVPN server on the router but that was week ago, the issues started within the last 2 days. I don't see why the issues would start now. My options seem limited but I have not been able to find any recent documentation for a similar problem and Linksys does not have support forums. Looking for anyone with a similar problem. If replacement is the best option, should I buy another Linksys router? Up until now I've loved the thing.

Ok so i have an ASUS TUF gaming FX705DT laptop. It has been facing some performance issues and i have found out that those issues are being caused by all the ASUS bloatware that xomes preinstalled with it(apps, services etc.) So if i use the clean install thingy from the 'Reset this PC' menu, and set restore preinstalled apps to 'No', will it remove both the ASUS apps AND THE SERVICES? Or only the apps and NOT the services? Also what happens to the Drivers?

Little weird: Power button does shutdown and reset randomly
Ombiax posted a topic in Troubleshooting
Hi, So I am working on a project right now and we have a machine, which does a couple of important things. The problem is, we installed a button which should normally just reset the PC. Just like a reset button should do. Sometimes it resets the PC and sometimes it shuts down the PC. And it's random (at least I didn't see a pattern). It's just a tiny PC inside of a machine and we did all the wiring ourself and it should all be correctly wired. Why is it, that it sometimes resets and sometimes shuts down the PC. I could really need some help with it, because I have to get it done in 2 days. Thanks in advance. -
when i turn on the computer, the press f1 shows up, then i configure the bios and unplug and re-plug my pc(drain the power on the PSU capacitors as well) when i turn it on again still shows the press f1 tried *check and reseat cmos reset pin *replace new battery *reseat ram *reset bios *reseat power connectors still not working tried *bios flash *bios reprogram *bios reprogram using external flasher (CH341A programmer) *change bios chip this is no software fix, only hardware can fix this, either replacing a chip or something i have a air solder station here so i can do a bit of smd rework if needed i dont have or cant find any free schematics and soldering is only my hobby, i just need guide on how to fix this stubborn thing
