      In the past I used cracked Versions of Xp Pro Sp1 and Xp Pro Sp2 on my home builts with no problems. This all changed when I got Dells. The installer would just freeze on the Dells as his was doing. Got a copy of Dell Xp Home and it does install on all my Dells with no drama.

      There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.

        PS5 Disc Not Supported/ Disc Not Recognized Board Num: EDM-020
        by Junior††


        Good Afternoon fellas,

        Issue:
        Disc is showing as not supported when a disc is put in.

        Here's what I've done, you can skip this if you just wanna know the question:
        - replaced with a disc drive from a donor ps5 (honestly questionable if this is known to work)
        - reflowed the disc drive connector
        -reflowed the chip in question (shown on image)
        - I will say this console was very dusty so it's conceivable that it got so hot that it made the chip joints cold and potentially other things on the board

        Question:
        I...

        [HELP] SAMSUNG NP270E4E-K01AR
        by eltano4i20
        1) Error trying to enter the BIOS
        --> [F2] won't let me enter the BIOS. To enter the BIOS, I had to create a shortcut and then type C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /r /fw /t 1 in the destination. This forced it to restart and enter the BIOS.
        Once inside, I went to the BOOT menu, but, surprise, it wasn't there. I got the following message:

        BOOT PRIORITY ORDER (img-05)

        A2141 (2019 16" MB Pro) Strange macOS install issues. NAND? WIFI? FIRMWARE?
        by duwane
        Hi All.

        Sorry ahead of time for the text wall. This is a strange problem and I have tried to explain it as best I can. I realise this is a hardware forum (mostly), but I am still not sure if this is even a hardware fault! I am hoping that someone more knowledgeable than me in the area of understanding installation logs, or someone that has had a similar issue in the past may have some ideas of what might be causing this.

        The issue:
        Unable to do a clean install of any macOS versions supported for this model, even after fully erasing and formatting the internal SSD,...

        Acer Aspire A515-52G-53PU crashing during windows installation
        by AppleLover123
        Hello Guys,

        got an Acer here with the problem that when i'm installing windows it just crashes (turns off) and not going back on as soon as i press the power button.
        I've tried it with different sticks and windows versions and also with windows 10 and 11 but it's the same problem.
        The only difference is that when i want to install windows 11 it crashes during the installation screen when "getting files ready for installation" at 25% - 30% progress and
        when i install windows 10 it goes trough until the restart and at "getting devices ready" it...
