Computers fully locks randomly with GPU fan spike to 100%
So, this has restarted happening. I can be full on gaming (at the best possible setting which are usually high), streaming my gameplay, listening to music and chatting OR i am idle checking my phone with the computer on. From out of the blue, Graphic's card fan shoot to 100% and monitors go dark accusing loss of signal (all the while sound still coming through if sound was playing, even controller stuck in rumbling if it was rumbling at the time it happens). My computer completely locks up and forces me to hard shutdown. I have a fresh install of Windows (I did that when my computer had this behaviour so many times in a row that lead to a boot fail with corrupted windows files), I've changed graphic's card (and the previous one went to a PC with same version of Win11 and this did not happen - that leads me to believe graphic's card/drivers are not at fault entirely), this behaviour has happened with several versions of graphic's drivers. It's totally random on frequency and event. I've tried to collect logs using perfmon and even installing GPUView and Nvidia's NSight app. This is another level of TS I am no longer used to. https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3507/~/how-to-share-feedback-for-low-fps%2Fstutter%2Fperformance-issues-using-gpuview - this does not work for me. I always get "671 was unexpected at this time.", that when I use your friendly tool copilot I get the issue of Windows not being able to read itself. everytime i try to run "log.cmd" on gpuview i get "671 was unexpected at this time." Oof, that’s a frustrating one. 😣 The "671 was unexpected at this time" error from log.cmd in GPUView usually points to a batch script parsing issue, often caused by regional settings or unexpected characters in system output. 🧩 What’s Going Wrong? The log.cmd script tries to parse your system’s memory info using systeminfo, then extracts the value using findstr and for /f. If your system is set to a non-English locale, the script may fail to find the expected string "Total Physical Memory"—and when it tries to process the result, it hits a syntax error like "671 was unexpected at this time". This brings me to another issue that until now was a simple nuisance but seems to have larger consequences. I have my OS in EN while my locale/region is PT. This results is very "funny" situations, where PART of my OS features and apps will be in English, while others (ALSO from OS) will be in Portuguese. Example in screenshots. This has turned out to be a doozy, and I wish for 2 things: To know what is causing these lockouts and how to fix it (I remember from past research that some win update might be at fault, but I would like confirmation) How can my OS actually follow and SHOW to the language I set it to (ENGLISH) while still respecting I am localised in PT this is also tangent: games on XBOX app now have a annoying method of forcing me to have games in PT-BR which is completely insulting, especially because it removes the choice. YES, there are work-arounds (the most effective deleing language folders from game files), but still. absolutely trash and doing no one any favours. I am not Brazilian, I do not want my content in PT-BR unless I choose to.Windows Language Issue DISPLAY VS LOCALE/REGION
I'm just pasting here what I exposed as possibly part of the problem on another post of mine. What was once a simple nuisance, now seems to have larger consequences. I have my OS in EN (full language pack) while my locale/region is PT. This results is very "funny" situations, where PART of my OS features and apps will be in English, while others (ALSO from OS) will be in Portuguese. Example in screenshots.

Our company has 3 Tiny PC PCs (Lenovo M93P Desktop Computer) with Windows 10 Pro and they are all running great. The problem is that Microsoft has decided to discontinue the support of Windows 10 and no security update after Oct 2025. This could be a big threat to computer security. We tried to upgrade to Windows 11 but the installation wizard shows our PCs are not eligible to run Windows 11 as there are a few system requirements are missing. Is there any workaround to upgrade to Windows 11 for free from Windows 10? We don't want to invest more money in buying Windows 11 compatible machines as they are expensive. As reference, here is the computer specs (Lenovo ThinkCentre): Processor: Intel i5-4570 3.2GHz (4 Cores) RAM: 8 GB SSD: 240 GB Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4600 Display: 21.5"FHD(1920x1080)
Stop code problem
Hi, I'm facing a persistent issue with my Windows 11 system that is part of a dual boot setup with Ubuntu after I updated the windows OS two days back.After the windows update I lost the GRUB file and so I can't boot into ubuntu. Recently, my Windows started showing the error: "Your device ran into a problem and needs to restart. We'll restart for you." This happens even after I did a complete reset of Windows (keeping my files).
Help fixing lag issues after unplugging graphics tablet
Since the most recent Windows 11 update last month, I've had an issue where unplugging my graphics tablet (Huion Kamvas 13) causes lag spikes and I have to restart to fix it. Basically, it makes it so that the screen freezes for about 2 seconds every 20-30 seconds. I can move the mouse fine, but everything else freezes for about 2 seconds. Any suggestions on what may be causing this, and what I could try doing to fix it? Thanks in advance!
Default settings
Windows updates can revert system settings back to their default. It would be nice if this wasn't the case. I'll give some examples. Prefetch and superfetch settings can be reverted back to their defaults after a windows update. Text size for a given resolution scale can also be reverted back to the defaultCan I still upgrade to windows 11 from windows 7? Dell Latitude E6430
Bought a refurbished business laptop (Dell Latitude E6430) and it comes with a Windows 7 OS. For me, it is a still decent device and want to work with it at daily basic. However, many of the modern apps does not support Windows 7 so I decided to upgrade this Dell laptop to Windows 11 if possible. I heard there are some tricks I can apply to install Windows 11 on un supported PC but don't know how to do this myself. If, pls kindly let me know how to upgrade to Windows 11 from Windows 7 for this laptop, which is powered by Intel Core i5 3rd Gen 3320M CPU, 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD. Thank youWindows 10/11 Auto installing “LG Monitor App Installer” LG Monitor Support Application Drivers”.
This software is not necessary for the proper function of the basic display and PNP function of the display in windows. The software should be OPTIONAL AND INSTALLABLE BY THE USER NOT FORCED INSTALLED BY WINDOWS UPDATE. This software is considered a PUP. (potentially unwanted program) Im a PC technician and repair expert. If I have to plug in LG monitors into my client’s computers and get force installed PUPS (with drivers and junk that is annoying to uninstall) every time I try to fix a client’s PC I would lose my mind. (I already have) I paid hundreds of dollars for my LG screens just so that this happens; fix your **bleep** Microsoft! Windows never did this before just until some recent feature/security update happened. I know this happens with some devices but for these screens it’s straight up not needed. Since when has anybody needed monitor drivers to use their screen??? NOT GRAPHICS DRIVERS. And it does not even install any monitor driver. It installs some “Software component” that runs a background service to install LG crap. And all that does is allow me to install more LG crap. Just the app from more stupid things. PROPOSED SOLUTION program a GUI interference that prompts the user if they want to install drivers YES OR NO from windows update for a newly connected device. Im sure windows 7 did something like that before rather than silently behind your back; crapping on your system.
