Agree TrashPanda ! That is interesting but tried Win 10 on a P4 and used the Corp lite version and installed fine but was slow as snot. Anything above a trimmed Win7 is Not recommended on any P4 in my opinion. perhaps a trim would be without ms anti virus / malware on win 10? i'd sure love to …

Windows 11 is Windows 10 so yes it'll run on anything Windows 10 can once you remove the TPM requirements. MS never stated that windows 11 cannot run on machines without TPM but rather that its unsupported and you are on your own if you do that. Why you would want windows 11 on a Core 2 is beyond …

This happens when you install nusb36. I'm still trying to figure out where I can change it. What if you restore the original SYSTRAY.EXE, USER.EXE and USER32.DLL after installing NUSB36? I used this approach to allow NUSB to run on different languages which did not have an 'official' NUSB release. …

Haven't heard the siren sound before but you can do a loose connection elimination. Remove and install components and then if it doesn't go away swap out components with others like the gpu and memory to find the offender. Knowlege of using a multimeter to test caps would be an idea but you'd see …
