Hey Alien,

My welcome to PCHF. We have a wonderful group of dedicated staff, and an energetic, and experienced user community here, I feel certain that we will be able to help you figure this out. Don't worry, your English is fine, if we need to clarify something, we will.

First of all, can you please post back with your PC Specs, or better yet, go to your User CP and enter them so that we can refer to them at will?

Secondly, are all of your updates current? Has this same thing been going on for a while, and you've just been ignoring it, or has it been getting steadily worse? If you go to Device Manager, are the drives showing as working properly? Have you completely uninstalled and reinstalled the drives?

Looking forward to your reply,

TTFN

LGW

Hey ALF,

Thanks for that, do me a favor though, and go to User CP on the Menu Bar, Edit Options, Thread Display Options, System Specs.

Change the Add your System Specs in your UserCP edit options to Yes.

Add all of your data in, and we will be able to see your system specs from any of your posts, it saves a lot of time for the techs. Thanks,

OK, first things first, get your updates done, all of them. If you need help finding something, like your drivers, just let us know, and we'll see if we can't find them for you.

Looking forward to your reply,

TTFN

LGW
