Specs: Dell Inspiron 15 Model 7559 8 GB RAM GeForce GTX 960M 256 GB SSD Windows 10 Hey all, So as the title says, I got this new laptop for Christmas. I noticed the very first couple of times I used it that there was some weird freezing issue. Every 9-10 seconds, the screen locks up, the...

I did what you suggested, ingtar. I've never had issues with the homepage doing anything weird. I use Chrome exclusively, and I have the "new tab page" as my homepage. But for now, I changed it just to be safe. For the second part, I checked the application command line on the Chrome...

Thanks for the display. The full OS install sounds like a huge pain. It seems like such a silly thing as some popups would not be that hard to get rid of. I'm currently running 2 full scans, and I'll run adwcleaner once again. There has to be something I'm missing...

I've gotten like 8 popups since my last post - they just came back out of nowhere with a vengeance. Mostly on Amazon, but even clicking the link in my email to come to this site I got one. They are all a little different, but generally they are of the "you're infected, call this number and...

Hey folks, so after I've exhausted myself on any tech-related issue I always turn here and I'm never let down. So, here's what I've got... First off for the record, I use Chrome, and I have not tested other browsers to see if the issue occurs there. I have some sort of malware that I cannot...

Ah, right you are womble! Not sure why I expected the other part to be the power. I had a spare sata power cable in the case. Booting up...... PC detected drive and is attempting to install driver software..... And success! Drive appears and files look to be intact. Thanks to all of you...

Hey all, My old laptop hasn't worked for awhile - lost the power cord, tried a different one, busted the power intake on the laptop... you know. Anyway trying to recover that data now, and I need some pointers. The laptop drive is Samsung HM500JI. I was planning to connect it to my desktop...
