Windows Defender was using insane amount of memory, solved it by disabling Automatic Sample Submission which then caused Page fault in non-paged area BSOD which I solved by making a new page file.

Ok, this one is weird and hope this helps someone... Noticed the problem because my pagefile grew to 16gigs and SSD storage space is limited. So I opened task manager and saw this weirdness. Googled some articles but none really helped so in frustration I disconnected my ethernet cable and restarted. Problem was solved but I need the Internet so I checked Windows Defender options and unchecked Automatic Sample Submission, then restarted reconnecting ethernet.

Everything seemed fine but then I ran into a Page fault in non-paged area BSOD, which I solved by doing the suggestion in Best Answer here.

Only thing I did differently yesterday than today was install Fallout New Vegas, and noticed Windows Defender running a scheduled quick scan running while playing. I'm now currently finding out why a page file is important (lots of saved info is gone) and crossing fingers nothing else goes wrong.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
