Generally I shut down by using the windows 10 shut down option. But, if I close the lid of the laptop, it goes to sleep but stays 'on'. Would this cause trouble for the SSD? Because that is the only thing I can think of in this situation. It still gives me trouble in relation to not storing...

Took me a few attempts using this method but I think it worked. Thanks

It allows a generic gaming controller to appear like an X box 360 controller so that you can play games on a PC without having to purchase a really expensive device. I've been using a generic one for years with the help of the emulator.

I have a Lenovo IdeaPAD y700. Recently the HDD died. So I took the opportunity to add two SSD's to the machine. a 256GB NvMe SSD for the Operating System (Windows 10) and a SATA SSD of 1TB for storage. Drives C and D. I redirected the downloads folder from C to D. I have had some teething...

I posted in the hardware thread the other day, but the more I try to fix the issue the more I can see it is obviously a software issue. The controller I am using is working fine. Here is the situation anyway. I am trying to add an X360 emulator to my Windows 10 X64 Gaing Laptop. I am trying to...

Ok, so when I run the emulator, the control pad is found and all the buttons are doing what they should be doing in the test area. This is all installed in the root folder of FIFA 21. But once I start the game itself, almost none of the buttons are working. The A,B,X and Y buttons don't seem to...

I'm not sure I understand the question. Let me try though. I fitted the 256GB NvMe SDD and installed Windows 10. That became Drive C. That all went fine. Then a few days latter, I bought the ITB SATA SDD drive and fitted that where the old SATA HDD was. That became Drive D. I redirected the...

OK. Update. Like I said, I'm fairly new to SDD drives. My SATA 1TB SDD drive which I have shortcutted my downloads folder to, is having trouble. It hasn't disappeared in over a week, but if I download a PDF or an MKV file, even from an email they are unreadable. I even tried copying over from a...

I am running a gaming laptop here with all the right specs to run FIFA 21. I have encountered this issue before on previous versions of FIFA. I have a generic USB wireless game controller, and so I get the X360 emulator for the 64 bit operating system. I download the file to the game's location...

The computer told me that what I am trying to install is the same as what is already there. So I guess that's not the issue either. I suppose I'll see how things go over the next week or two and if the SATA keeps failing I will remove it and use it as an external storage. I can then replace the...

I had Lenovo detect my product and scan for drivers and software updates. No updates were required. So I chose the manually option and there is one BIOS update included there. So I guess I'll update that and see if things get bettter.

Fans are spotless cos I made sure when I opened her up to add the SSD's. The NvMe SSd doesn't seem to have any issues. I suppose if the SATA SDD fails then I will just get a larger NvMe drive with bigger storage. I know it can support 1TB, and if I am lucky it might support 2.

I put the original SATA HDD in a hard drive enclosure and got nothing from it, so it was deader than disco. There may well be a BIOS update pending, so I will check that out. I've also noticed that sometimes the machine takes a long time to load a page online. I mean if I run chkdsk, it gets...

I'm new to SSD drives. The NvMe drive has windows installed and the SATA SDD has the storage downloads folder sent there. They are as usual. The OS is on drive C and the SATA SDD is drive D. I have not looked through BIOS. What would I be looking for?

I've downloaded and launched chrystalDiskInfo and it shows my system disk (WD 256GB NVMe drive) as Good 100% in blue colour and 44 degrees Celsius. It shows the SATA SDD 1TB Kingston drive as being Good 100% in Blue colour and at 40 degrees Celsius. Is there any testing that I can do in this...

Got most of it off with window scrapers and patience! Thanks

I got this TV wall mounted by removing the covers as indicated in this thread. It did however, require a very wide wall brace. It seems to be holding well.

Well the whole system is new and so I have virtually nothing on the drive yet. I have linked my downloads folder to that drive. I have run chkdsk D:/f a couple of times and it always fully recovers when I do that. I will check out Chrystal Disk Info. What do you suspect is going on?

My SATA hdd dies and I lost all of my data. I took the opportunity to fit an NVMe 256GB main disk drive to run windows 10 and then added a SATA SDD for storage. A month after running this system the SATA storage drive disappeared. I removed it and refitted it but it didn't come back. Then the...

Great to know. Thanks very much
