  1. you cannot change 32 bit to 64 bit without reformatting the HDD.  if you used an upgrade, its still 32 bit.  Only a fresh install would allow you to go from 32 bit to 64 bit after formatting the HDD 64 bit.  If thats what you did, it is a NEW OS.  Go to MSI and check for drivers for the model MB you have for Windows 10.  Hope you are not having the same problem my son had when he bought a new HDD and Windows 10.  It was a pain getting it to work correctly.  You mighty need to contact Microsoft because the Processor was registered for Windows Vista, not Windows 10.  All you need to do is have them delete the old info and register the new.  If you remember your user name and PW when you registered windows, you may be able to change this yourself. 

  2. Good idea Sergeant major.  I would also check to see if the HDD is cleaned of partial files, especially in the Registry.  If it has junk files in that, partial files and such, it will run into errors and shut down.  Have the computer run a check and delete unused files.  Might need to get a registry cleaner also, but check everything else first.  Also defrag the system.  Should have done that before you updated.   I know you could update to Windows 10 from Windows 7, but did not know you could from an earlier version. 

     

    If you and your wife have identical systems, then you should be able to swap parts one at a time to determine if it is hardware that is causing the issue.  This will work for the HDD , ram, and even video cards.  When you open the system to clean it, make sure you check the Power Supply also.  Blow them out with canned air and even start the system while it is open to make sure all the fans are indeed turning.

     

    Few question.  Is it updated to Windows 64 bit or still the old 32 bit?  Did you update or do a fresh install of the OS?  Vista was the WORSE OS EVER.  Whats the Processor?  Dual core or Quad Core? 

  3. My son had the same problem with his computer.  Turned out it was the ram.  Instead of being double sided, double density, it was single sided.  It was meant for a server, not a PC.  It would shut down after an hour and he could restart it.  Check the ram, if it has chips on only one side, it is probably the wrong memory.  

     

    If you have an Intel Processor, check for the dust too.  If it is dusty inside on the fans and Heat Sink for the processor and overheats, it will shut down automatically. 

     

    I have never heard of a HD shutting off a computer, but you never know.  Will do a little research on it.

  4. When I copy and paste the forms in the DI Office, the spacing is non existent.  I have to manually go through and manually adjust the spacing because everything is stuck together,  I think it is happening because the forms were first in BB Code then changed to HTML automatically when they are posted.  Is it possible to get this corrected?  Maybe we need to change all the forms to HTML.  I find it MUCH easier to adjust rosters and such using the HTML instead of the BB Code myself. 

  5. Nobody likes to see their country under attack, especially by those hiding within its borders and targeting innocent civilians.  All you can do is exercise caution.  Keep your eyes and ears open and report anything suspicious to Police immediately.  Support your Police and Military.  If your Government turns a blind eye to the attacks and say it is an isolated incident, you do NOT need to support them.  Lord knows I do not support mine.

  6. Keep your head down.  If you want my advice, stay close to home for a few days.  Let the Government hunt them down and exterminate them.  They need to drive them all out of the country.  Send them all back to the Middle east.  Keep your eyes and ears open and be ready for anything. 

  7. I have played games by Blizzard in the past.  I never will again.  They end up ruining the game or its all rinse and repeat.  It may look interesting to play Overwatch, but I will not buy another game from them after they stole money from me and refused to return it. 

  8. waterboarding works on Terrorists.  they could do that for a few hours before they ask questions.  If they can't get him to talk, they can call me.  I have a way of asking questions with an Army TA-312 field telephone that gets answers fast.
