Reinstalling windows on a CPU overclock

Hi guys,.

Well, I need to reinstall windows 8.1 due to a bug in the system.

I bought my alienware Aurora R4 with a 6 core i7-4960 X Overclock which is 4.3 ghz clock

This is my fist time reinstalling windows on a computer that is overclock and I have no experience or understanding on overclocking. I'll lose more the clock once my windows is reinstalled? or everything will remain as it was?

The overclock settings are set in the BIOS, so they will not change if you reinstall windows.

    Hi KevinRy,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    Unplug all external devices.

    Try to start in safe mode. If you can start in safe mode, and then do a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time.

    Change the recovery settings to disable automatic reboot, if you are able to boot up to the desktop computer:

    1.

    Right-click my computerand then click Properties.

    2.

    Click the Advanced tab.

    3.

    Under Startup and recovery, click settings to open the Startup and recovery dialog box.

    4.

    Clear the automatically restart check box, and then click OK many times necessary.

    5.

    Restart your computer so that the settings take effect.

    Now, when you are going to close and a fatal error occurs, you will see at least and it won't cause an automatic restart.

    Please reply back with the error message you get because it helps us to resolve the error.

  • Reinstall windows XP on A60

    Hello

    I need to reinstall windows xp on my laptop A60 (the one with the DVD writer on this subject), the recovery disk does not all drivers to this topic and does not load to the top when you put it in the drive and the Windows XP disk came with the laptop. I'm unable to close, ctrl - alt - del does not work most of the time and CPU usage history is running VERY high and erratic.

    A new photoshop CS does not or TURBO LISTER for ebay (this is what I see - sell my art of photoshop on ebay) and it also takes forever to stop, sometimes it does not allow the command ctrl - alt... does not work I have to manually shut down.

    I downloaded quarentined and ad-aware software and destroyed a lot of bugs, but I still need to reinstall windows - any ideas anyone?

    The computer has 4 months - if that helps at all.

    Thank you!! :)

    Hi Juddlin

    I also have professional WXP and it works correctly. Sorry, but I'm a bit confused with your ad. First of all I want to know everything was working properly when you start the laptop first time computer. I ask this question because in the beginning, the laptop is preinstalled by Toshiba.

    I do not understand when you said this doesn t recovery disc have all the drivers. As far as I know recovery disk made up of all the drivers for all the hardware components of your laptop. Just if you replace certain hardware components, it is possible that you need some updates to the driver.

    If you want to reinstall OS save your data on the second partition if you have one, or save on a medium such as DVD or CD.

    I upgraded the card mother, memory and CPU.  Kept the old SATA hard drive.
    Reinstalled Windows XP.  Now, I have no icons, like a new computer.  All my programs are on the C: drive, but none of the programs appear on the start-> list all programs.
    It's like I'm a new user.
    Any ideas?  I wish I had my old office back.  At least all of my data, photos are always "there".

  • How do reinstal windows xp?

    my laptop is running slow (OS Win XP) and I want reinstal windows xp on it can you tell me how I have an xp disk and license, I've never done this before, so easy to understand instructions could be very useful.

    linbeck

    I recommend to install Windows on if you've never done before and expect to get back to a fully functional computer before the end of the week is over. ;-)

    The basics are simple:

    • Back up all important data you external to the computer in question.
    • Make sure you have all the serial numbers and installation support and product keys set - off the computer in question.
    • Make sure you know all the hardware on your system.  Run and print the Belarc Advisor report to be sure.  I recommend to download the latest drivers for each piece of hardware NOW and their storage on a reader of CD/DVD/USB external to the computer for later.
    • Change your CMOS/BIOS system to boot from the CD and start with the support of Windows XP (CD).
    • Follow the prompts, remove the existing divides and create new partition on which to install the operating system.
    • When installing the operating system, install the drivers for hardware devices.
    • When doing this, patch Windows XP OS by http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ (repeat until there is no critical update left - leave EVERYTHING the only option at the moment.)
    • When doing this, install your applications.  Then update those.
    • Restoring your data.

    However - I think you'd be better of just clean up.

    Search for malware:

    Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

    Remove anything they find.  Reboot when necessary.  (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

    The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

    Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in.  Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.)  You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

    You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory.  This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

    Do some cleaning and dusting off this hard drive:

    You can free up disk space (will also help get rid of the things that you do not use) through the following steps:

    Windows XP should take between 4.5 and 9 GB * with * an Office suite, editing Photo software, alternative Internet browser (s), various Internet plugins and a host of other things installed.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
    -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  • Reinstall Windows XP with no boot or installation disk

    I started volunteering for a non-profit as a bureau chief.

    The Organization was given 4 IBM posts all loaded with XP Pro.  I wish I could give units a new start with XP by formatting the drives and reinstalling windows from scratch.  However the boot/installation disks were not included with the gift of the CPU.
    Each unit has Microsoft Windows "sticker" on the subject with the product key for each.
    I expected to be able to download a generic copy of XP pro to burn to a CD and install it on each unit, but I'm pretty sure that's not possible.

    A little help would be great, thanks.

    To answer your question - no you can't install without disc and and you can not download (AFAIK) XP from anywhere.
    The "donor" was in violation of the LICENSE agreement. You need to either get the donor to feed the disks or you will need (unfortunately) buy new copies...
    The problem is why the donor is not passed on the disks? The donor has used the disks again? If yes you and he are going to face problems... If you find my answer helpful, please click the button "Vote as helpful"! Thank you! My Blog

    If Vista was the original version of Windows installed on your computer then sticker product key is for Vista, which could explain the gaffe.  However if the product key sticker is for Windows 7 you can then install Windows and activate yourself save a long trip.

  • I had to reinstall Windows - problems accessing the profile of old or existing to show all emails, I had

    I had to reinstall windows. I have several drives in my computer and I copied the entire C: drive to another drive in the PC. I thought when I reinstalled Thunderbird, I could just point to profile located on the other drive... email accounts but it doesn't work.

    I had multiple accounts configured in Thunderbird - accounts about 6, but just one profile. I had several records created for organizing email locally. So, I guess that he should be a both local and roaming profile with the same name? I checked my mail server web interface and there are currently approximately 105 emails on this subject. I know there are at least 500 total emails into the inboxes of Thunderbird. I try to restore those old e-mails, as well as local folders - but am not having any luck.

    Anyway, with all the attempts that I did to get all the emails of my return, I think that Thunderbird has created new folders and is doing really complicated now. I don't know how to sort this out. I don't know the name of the profile that I have used before, and when I search my computer on the name of the profile, it is 22 000 + items. I'm still not able to get them all restored in Thunderbird.

    Another strange thing is: in the search results for the name of the profile, the items are displayed in the results, and it has an icon Thunderbird next to them and says it's a Document of Thunderbird... but when I double-click on one of them, it will not open in Thunderbird. Nothing happens when I double-click on them. Could this be a problem/conflict version of Thunderbird? I thought my old Thunderbird was updated.

    I don't know where to start to give you a hint how to help. I'm sorry.

    Any ideas?

  • Firefox is not reading my profile restored after reinstalling Windows

    I had to reinstall Windows (again!). Before that, I saved my profile on an external drive.

    I followed the instructions to restore (created a new profile and copy/paste the files saved in the new profile folder) and can see all the recorded files now reside in the new profile folder, but when I run Firefox it doesn't seem to be reading them at all. None of my favorites are available at all. It still looks like a new installation.

    I must have made a mistake somewhere but I can't work out what.

    Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    How did you create the new profile folder: have you used the Firefox profile manager?

    If Yes:

    Try to start using the new profile manager and test other profiles where it is currently set by default to that bad.

    If not:

    Firefox can not see this folder because of its semi-aleatoric name. If you navigate to go up a level in the profiles folder in the folder of Firefox, you should find a file called profiles.ini. If you open this file in a text editor, it is likely doesn't have the path to your migrated file. You can change the corresponding path and then restart Firefox to see if Firefox connects with the migrated file.
