IRQ less than Equal W10

I get this error that I didn't have in W7. If I shut down W10 I get this message once in a while. I have no way of knowing which component is causing this. It happens when I shutdown and W10 will restart. It only happens when the machine is left on for a long time. Would a USB device cause this? Vid..

I managed to get it non working on both my computer and my phone before finally getting it fixed. I had to go to imap. As soon as that was done I got a popup telling me "We have turned on Windo..

Do you think it worth it to pay for W-10 Pro?

I've always used the Home or whatever they called it but with 10 I'm wondering about the extra Defender tools and the ability to control updates or decline them, though I would likely not want to decline them. I read somewhere that with the home version and the anniversary update, you can manage upd..

3 OS drives multiboot?

Is anyone running this on their desktop? I have the OEM 1TB HDD for general use (Win8.1) that I also plan on shrinking down for 1 or 2 data partitions along side the active one. I've added a Sam 500 GB SSD for my main DAW. I have it partitioned for a second data part for libraries. Now, I'd like to ..

laptop with sonar?

I'm considering buying a laptop to replace my desktop, but I'm concerned about performance with sonar. My soundcard is a MOTU hybrid, so there wouldn't be a problem there. most cheap laptops come with a 5400 rpm HDD, but I was considering getting one with an SSD. thoughts?..
