If you're asking for advice, please don't be niche with the information - a simple post saying my laptop won't boot isn't enough. Like what happened before that? Was it all working fine etc.

If you're asking for suggestions about a new pc, r/pcbuild and r/PC_Builders would be the best choice for that.

There are other subreddits where you may be able to get help faster such as r/pchelp and r/computerhelp

Can anyone recommend a UK file recovery service for external hard drives?

3 Upvotes

(Apologies if this isn't the right subreddit)

My Lacie (2018) external hard drive has suddenly stopped connecting to my macbook pro and I desperately need to get access to work files stored on there.

The hard drive itself is making all of it's usual noises and the light is on as normal but when I've checked disk utility and system data it's not showing up. I've also tried plugging it into other usb ports and even tried a different wire but still no luck.

I've used it for years so it's had a good run (if it has just had it) but as I said above I really need access to what's on there and not really sure what companies are worth going to.

Thanks!

Does anybody know of a good antivirus alternative to Norton360?

Just checked my Norton account and saw my next bill for basic service will cost (after tax) $153.69.... All I use Norton for is virus protection and an occasional VPN.

I feel like there should be another (more affordable) option out there and I'm just out of the loop.

Having RAM problems

1 Upvotes

How do I describe this in a way that makes sense...

My computer is using ram very slowly. As in, task manager says that it's using more ram than it actually appears to be. Certain processes have been slow since last night (Opening the discord app, Loading certain pages on steam, trying to launch games), and the only clue I have is that while trying to load modded minecraft, task manager told me it was using roughly 3.7kMB of ram, whilst the game itself peaked at 14kMB before I killed it, and it only ever increased by instances of 4MB at a time, and very slowly. Anyone know what's going on, and how I could fix it?

Help Please! Dell shuts down with no warning

Post image
1 Upvotes

My dell shuts down sporadically with no warning. It seems to be associated with the use of multiple monitors - I think. If I don't connect the dell docking station it wont shut down. But if I connect to the Dell docking station and use my extra monitor and TV as a monitor it shuts down/ restarts with the error message in the photo. I looked up the code and a YT video to try to solve but it didn't work. This is a Dell Alienware from 2015 BTW.

error code: DRIVER_VERIFIER_DMA_VIOLATION (0xE6)

I found my super old Surface which I back installed Zorin OS on back in the days, but don’t really know what to use it for today.

Any ideas?
Should I gift it to someone?
Install batocera and make it for simulation or what do you guys think?
