I am constantly receiving issues on my laptop. I'm not sure if its a virus because when I run my antivirus, it found nothing. But my laptop is running very slow and it shuts off pretty often. I tried to refresh and run a factory reset but it shows an error stating that there is something missing so I can't continue with the reset. I tried every possible ways to reset but I just couldn't. I really need assistance on this matter since I hardly use my laptop these days due to this issue.

I am looking for the best resolutions on my problem. I have a Core 2 Duo E4700 with 4GB DDR2 RAM and Nvidia En 8400Gs. It runs with Windows 8.1 I want to run Visual Studio on a virtual machine for coding since it installs a lot of stuffs during installation and uninstalling will be impossible. In this way, I can just remove the virtual disk if Visual Studio is no longer needed. I want to know which is better for my needs, Workstation or Virtual Box?

I just moved my old hard drive to my new PC. It's an SSD (Samsung) and it is my 3rd internal Hard drive. The first two internal hard drives are, 256 SSD boot drive with Windows 8.1 and my SATA hard drive (2 TB 7200). After installing the new Samsung SSD, everything works fine and I don't encounter any issues until my computer went into hibernation mode. When it woke up, my monitor would not turn on. I want to know if it's because of the new SSD installed or any other reasons? How to resolve this?

Hi! I badly need some help from you guys! I accidentally downloaded a very bad malware and I was unable to get rid of it. Some applications like Optimizer Pro keeps installing by themselves and it's totally annoying because once they are installed, I will manually uninstall them on the Control Panel and clean my PC with CCleaner and ADWCleaner. After this, everything will be back into normal. But after 3 or 5 minutes or if I restart my computer, same thing will happen again. My dilemma is happening for 3 days now and I really want a quick...
