I want to replace the CMOS battery in my old PC before giving it away. Will the BIOS not lose its configuration if I do it while the system is powered on? I can put some tape on the battery to make sure it doesn't fall and short against anything.

A new complication in things is that Samsung refuse to honour the warranty for the dead SSD unless I have the invoice for the original purchase. I purchased it 5 years ago and don't recall where from, or whether I purchased it online or in...

Transfering the flash chips from one drive to another looks straight-forward, and shouldn't take more than a half-hour. And I have another 1TB 860 Evo that I could use as a donor drive. There's a mobile phone repair shop here that charges by the...

Most likely its part of the power section that has a short or a fail. The flash is probably fine. If you know how to use a multi-meter and a heat gun it could be a cheap fix. The daring thing would be buy the exact same drive and transfer the...

Your only remaining alternative is to try a different OS to see whether that one likes the SSD any better.

Prices will never go down on data recovery. It is basically blackmail. If the data is so important to you pay up. Being a SSD the data is going to degrade faster then a typical HDD so holding on to it will probably make it harder and more...

Crystalizer. That's what I like about CL cards, anyway.

yeah ignore that crap site, same for your gpu "problem"

Intel gets ~80GB/s multi threaded 40GB/s single threaded with that kit of RAM vs AMD who gets ~65GB/s multi threaded 60GB/s single threaded. So the website is just saying that anything that is much below 80GB/s multi threaded is under performing...
