thanks, I'm stuck with the 32 bit App (which I have been using for over 20 years) as it is widely used in institutions that have rooms full of 32 bit machines and no budget for replacement! The author has no intention of rewriting for the limited number of users not using the institutions. I...

Is there any way of Identifying what is the best CPU at running 32 bit applications? are Intel processors better at running 32 bit (Windows) apps than AMD?

further testing is pointing straight at the mouse. It is running off a type C USB is this the case with other folk who have seen this issue?

key board is REALIKE. mouse is SEENDA Disabling C-State in BIOS appears to have resolved the hang issue. Many thanks to Martinr36

36 hours using a wired mouse and keyboard rather than bluetooth and no resets required, reading the link above there is a minor difference in that my MC ignores the Power button, but I will try disabling c-State and report back

Still having the issue, it appears to occur when there is no user activity for a period of time. (may be USB/Bluetooth related as both my Mouse and keyboard are wireless.

OK I have now tested both Failure mode and Non-Failure mode extensively. Basic scenario is that I have run for many years with 2 different Browsers open concurrently (my preference is Firefox and Chrome but any permutation of 2 of 3 including Chrome all produce the same result) One of the...

it is the first machine in my list that ran W10 without issues since June. Yes, all optional updates are installed and no new Apps have been installed since upgrade to W11. I disabled dropbox when issue first started but restarted today. Sorry for length of list, but all 3 machines are in daily...

So long as you are the user who installed McAffee from scratch you can uninstall from Windows, if a trial was preinstalled by System builder (or remote installed by Corporate Admin) you have to use the uninstaller to clear all Registry entries. (I have been supporting Laptop users with McAfee...

I disabled McAffee (and Drop Box, and a few more) as the first Fault finding steps weeks ago. Just to be sure I uninstalled McAffee completely and cleared the logs, I have had a failure since that. Logs attached.

Reloading the apps is not the main issue setting up the the outlook client with all the PST files and multiple emails IDs linking to them is a major pain. I work on my machine for about 18x7 hours and haven't had to reload Windows from scratch since the Windows 8 debacle. No dump files stored...

above both ran clean, problem still occurring

Too Late, MS disable reversion capability after 10 days so only option is virgin W10 install which would be an extensive process to reinstall all ancillaries.

I enabled TPM on my primary desktop and installed Windows 11 straight away, with hindsight I should have enabled TPM and made sure the Machine was still reliable before upgrading. I now have a strange issue and am not sure if it is TPM or W11 at fault? Machine works a-OK until I do not use it...

I need a new PC, and my absolute priority is Single threaded performance as I have a very large single threaded Database app that takes forever (>3 minutes) to run GUI sorts on my I7- 8700K (it's all sorted in memory - 0 Disk activity) My other issue is physical space -Absolute max is 480 High...

I had seen that but couldn't find it (see image) if you go into the frequency section there is another section " Advanced CPU Features" but HT setting is not visible because the sidebar slider doesn't work and it is 3 pages down the list! Thanks, disabling HT has cut processing time by 20% and...

The BIOS does not seem to allow disabling HT, not sure if it is the MBD or the CPU disabling it.

My word you must be psychic :) Multi threading probably won't help as the sort is preparing the array for a 360k line datagrid, out of a proprietory DB (dates back to the days when Microsoft thought the the world was created in 1970 and didn't quite "get" the Julian Calendar) Thanks for the...

Hi I have a problem, and would value advice, I am not a Gamer but have worked in IT hardware since before it was called IT and run a fairly massive data base that is resource hungry in pure proccessing, the Application is a windows 32 bit app modded for 64 bit that is VERY single threaded and...
