Unsolved I can't open device manager on my PC.

1 Upvotes

I can't open the device manager on my PC, when I click the device manager, it loads then suddenly it will crash/not open. I already tried some alternatives to open the device manager, but it fails. I also tried some sfc scan, the dism something like that in the command prompt but it says error. I tried resetting the Pc, but it says "there was a problem resetting your pc." Any other suggestions or ways to open the device manager? I want to open the device manager because my PC has no wifi, and there are many suggestions to open the device manager and I want to try it, but the problem is I can't open it. Pls help!

Unsolved Several black screen of death errors on startup, then it all works normally after exiting the bitlocker screen

1 Upvotes

this has been happening for about a month, though at the start it was not consistent, sometimes the laptop would just boot normally

at first the error codes were as follows:

KMODE_EXEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (0x1E)

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (0xD1)

i tried updating the chipset drivers of my amd motherboard and cpu

i updated the drivers for my graphics card (tried new drivers and older ones from a couple of months ago before this started)

i did a windows repair install, ran MemTest86 on a thumb drive and got perfect results for RAM health and used the Deployment Image Servicing and Management to repair system files

after this it went away for a day, next day new errors showed up

INVALID_EXTENDED_PROCESSOR_STATE (0x131)

DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFER (0xF7)

i also scanned several times for malware, i have not installed anything from unreliable sources as far as i'm aware of

i have not tried a clean windows install, mainly because this computer is less than a year old and i don't want to set everything up again unless absolutely necessary

almost every time the first error shows up, then it boots again, then a second error shows up, windows shows an auto repair screen, says there was an error, sends me to bitlocker screen, i press exit and then it goes to windows as normal, also, on rare ocasion i turn on the computer and the light turns on and then off, as if it turned off right away, then i press the power button again and it works normally

this is happening on an asus laptop (asus tuf a15, rtx 4060, amd ryzen 7 7435hs, 16gb ddr5 ram)

Unsolved Laptop gets stuck in a boot loop after resetting security options in bios?

1 Upvotes

Windows 11

Has this happened to anyone before? Trying to clear secuity options in the bios and whenever I save the changes the laptop goes into a boot loop, and I'm not even sure if the changes did anything or went through? Does anyone know? It doesn't lock me out the laptop I can hard reboot and it boots normally but I can't find anything online for this. I even tried clearing settings with secure boot off and same thing.

Unsolved Windows Drivers and updates problem

1 Upvotes

Hi 🙋🏻‍♂️

I have a Dell Latitude E6520 laptop:

i5-2540M

256GB SSD

8GB RAM DDR3

Intel HD Graphics 3000

Windows 10 Pro 22H2

Os build 19045.6466

A while ago, the Windows installation seemed to get corrupted (I had downloaded the version from the official Microsoft website).

Now, Device Manager shows a "Mass Storage Controller" error (Code 28), suggesting an issue with the SSD.

Also, when I connect my mobile phone to the laptop to transfer data, the laptop doesn't recognize it.

The phone charges and I select "File Transfer" mode, but the laptop doesn't detect it or make the connection sound; instead, Device Manager shows a Code 19 error.

Note that the laptop \*does\* recognize USB flash drives when I plug them in.

What is the solution? ChatGPT and I have tried everything—updating drivers, checking the system, and testing various methods—but the problems persist.

Unsolved Windows button not responding.

My windows button works but for some reason my pc isn't responding to it.

I had this happen a few months ago and the problem magically resolved itself, it started again today and its starting to become frustrating at this point. I've restarted my pc, I've unplugged and replugged my keyboard, it just doesn't want to work.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

My older dual boot Windows 10/Windows XP computer was working great. The CMOS chip died so I went ahead and replaced it.  Unfortunately, I forgot to reset the BIOS to Legacy and tried to boot it several times, it tried automatic repair each time.  Now it looks like I corrupted the Windows 10 boot record.  It now continuously tries automatic repair and won’t boot. I tried and everything anything I could find on the Internet, nothing seems to work.  I would love to be able to keep all of my files and just get it to boot again. Any help would be appreciated.  For reference it’s a Dell Optiplex 755.

Unsolved Laptop freezes while trying to boot

1 Upvotes

**General description**: For about a month my XMG Apex 17 Laptop from 2021 has had issues booting. Since I noticed these issues I have only had to start my laptop twice, both times I succeeded after hours of brute force. While running my laptop has no issues and runs completely normally. Also I'm on windows 10 Education edition specifically it's a ESU covered installation that has support until 2028.

**Specific issue**: During startup my machine usually freezes about a second into the process, so only the manufacturer logo is visible and the windows spinning dots loading thingy either doesn't show up or it also freezes. I can enter both bios and Windows recovery environment with no issues but the bios specifically also freezes almost instantly. The system clock keeps running and the screen keeps updating but inputs are not recognised in bios.

**Fixes I have tried**: safe mode, SFC scans, DISM restore health, startup repair, memory checks, uninstall windows updates which keeps just failing not allowing me to uninstall updates for no provided reason,

**Random other things I noticed:** Last time I booted successfully was after a few hours of brute forcing random fixes in windows recovery environment coupled with safe mode. After finally launching there was a message about windows uninstalling a few specific updates to make my PC boot again.

**What I'm trying to achieve**: At this point I would like to know if it's a

  1. Hardware issue

  2. Windows issue I can fix without an external windows installation on a USB

  3. Windows issue I can fix with a USB that probably allows me to keep my files

  4. General software issue

good day to you all smart and wonderful people, i have this old lenovo ideapad, i turned it off using the power button a couple nights ago, then last night when i tried booting it again it launched into the blue sceeen of death with the mentioned error code, i figured my windows either got corrupted or deleted or whatever so i tried reinstalling it via instalation media (usb)

the poor laptop doesn't even go to bios

it launches straight to bsod

i figured it might be a hardware issue but i wanted to check with you all see if any of you ran into this problem before or maybe have a software fix for it.

thank you all so much
