    [NOTEBOOK] Cannot remove power cable or use battery power. (Bugcheck: 0x000000EA)

    Posted: 21 Aug 2019 04:19 PM PDT

    [SOLVED]

    So I've been using this really crappy notebook, and because of its crappiness I had Ubuntu previously installed on it to run a bit smoother. However, recently I discovered that a bunch of support for the hardware of the notebook simply doesn't exist in Linux so I came back to Windows 10. Therefore, this is a clean install of Win10 showing issues that weren't showing on Ubuntu, more on that later.

    Specs:

    • Notebook Acer Aspire A515-41G-13U1
    • APU: AMD A12-9720 (4 compute + 8 graphical cores) @2.7 GHz
    • "Dedicated" GPU (Allegedly): AMD RX 550
    • behringer USB mix table (Texas Instruments sound card) peripheral (I know this is not what is causing the problem, but what the hell)
    • Mouse and USB Keyboard

    The issue:

    Whenever I disconnect the charger, the notebook freezes for a couple of seconds and blue-screens. The error code is not readable due to the resolution of the blue-screen being larger than that of my screen for some reason. However, I looked at the Event Viewer and found that it was a THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER error.

    Furthermore, switching the computer on without the charger causes it to crash a minute or so after login. I haven't been able to locate the bugcheck of this particular event yet. UPDATE: It's the same bugcheck.

    What I've done:

    Way back before I ever installed Ubuntu I sent the machine back to warranty. They didn't tell me what was wrong or what they did to fix it, but to me it just looked like a fresh Windows install and maybe they took a look inside, but I don't believe they've replaced anything.

    As soon as I received the notebook back I decided to install Ubuntu to make it run more smoothly (since it is awfully slow and tends to hang a lot), which means that I didn't even bother to see if this bug was fixed (which was a mistake). During all of my use with Ubuntu the OS never crashed from removing the charger or using the device on battery. It did, however, show an error notification whenever I unplugged it (it wouldn't tell me what error, though).

    Now that I've come back with a fresh install of the latest Windows, so has the problem. First I went on Google to look for other people with a similar story, specially in the Microsoft forums. Many of them seem to believe that this is a Windows issue and not a hardware one, as the employees would tell them. A recurring solution was to do a clean boot with only a few programs running, which worked for the threads' authors when they disabled a few Microsoft services. I have not done that, since I don't think that a solution that requires system programs not to run is very sustainable (particularly considering Windows Update).

    Then I decided to try resolve the problem myself. So I installed WinDbg (and all of its dependencies) to see exactly what the problem is, and as I dove a little deeper I noticed some very strange things.

    So before I even opened the tool I already noticed something quite odd. The BugCheck event for a staged crash I performed was the following:

    The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x000000ea (0xffff820b5e898300, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 6aa7a26c-dc69-4e69-97ca-33fbf5b99346. 

    This log is strange because for the event 0x000000ea (which is THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER), the parameter 2 should point to the DEFERRED_WATCHDOG object, the parameter 3 should point to the offending driver and the parameter 4 should be how many times the error was "intercepted".

    So if this bugcheck is correct, I am supposed to believe that there was no Watchdog (not sure what they are for or how they work, but I'm pretty sure their pointer should not be 0), that there was no offending driver and that the error, which is an infinite loop, was intercepted a grand total of 0 times. Suffice to say that something is wrong.

    I checked the bugcheck in the WinDbg application and it says the same thing.

    When I use the .thread <parameter 1> and kb commands, this is what comes out:

    I cannot understand a word of this, but it does look like there's something weird happening with atikmdag, which apparently has a history of not playing nice with Radeon systems.

    UPDATE: Updated the BIOS and... nothing happened. It still bugs in the same way.

    After some more digging I found out that my notebook's model is probably region-specific, since I can't seem to find people facing the same problem in an international scale (or national, for that matter. I seem to be the only one with this particular problem)

    All help to this problem is needed and heavily appreciated. I hope I made an extensive record of my experience with this bug so that other people with the same issue can relate and find answers as well.

    UPDATE: I solved the problem! All I needed to do was update the drivers for the display adapter (AMD Radeon R7 Graphics) automatically! I think that what caused all of this in the first place was that I had installed drivers directly from AMD instead of letting Windows choose what it wanted. What my GPU drivers have to do with my charger is still beyond me, but at least the problem is fixed!

    Win7 Professional looks boring?

    Posted: 21 Aug 2019 07:26 PM PDT

    Hey, I don't know how to phrase this question as it is a strange one. I haven't been able to find any information online about this because I don't know how to ask the question. I have had Win7 before and I never remember it looking like this but I looked in the personalization settings and there was nothing I could do to change it? Is there anything I could do to get Win7 back to the way I used to remember it?

    Trouble acessing a website

    Posted: 21 Aug 2019 07:04 PM PDT

    Hi. My friend has a new PC and for some reason, for a certain website, he is getting an error loading it up. The error says DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN. The website he is having the problem is "geforce.com".

    I have tried ip renew and dns flush and stuff, no solution.

    I tried to manually input dns servers like 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and still no success.

    I noticed tho that when trying to restart DNS Client service in "serives.msc" that it was missing.

    He needs help. I will wait for answers, thank you all in advance.

    [HELP] My computer won't detect my headphones being plugged in, despite them plugged in

    Posted: 21 Aug 2019 06:44 PM PDT

    Windows 10 Home Version 1903 on a MSI B350 Gaming Pro motherboard.

    I first encountered this problem on version 1803. It happened suddenly, and I didn't change any settings that would cause this problem. I updated to Version 1903 to see if it fixed the problem, but it didn't. I've confirmed that my HyperX Cloud Stinger headphones aren't the problem.

    The only time I can get the "Headphones" icon to appear in the Playback tab in Sound is when I rollback the "RealTek HD Audio" to "High Definition Audio" in Device Manager.

    https://gyazo.com/c45cd918226a4e9eab2fbb8d52bcacec

    https://gyazo.com/dd50fadc24307255ed4020eb014d4219

    So far I've tried:

    -resetting my PC

    -disabling RealTek HD Audio & NVIDIA HD Audio

    -rolling back RealTek HD AUDIO

    -deleting and redownloading audio drivers from MSI

    -changing settings in RealTek HD Audio Manager including disabling front jack detection

    -reinstalling drivers directly from the Headphones icon in Sound

    -downloading the latest RealTek HD Audio driver

    -plugging them into the back audio jacks

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Windows taking 10 minutes to boot

    Posted: 21 Aug 2019 01:26 PM PDT

    I have a Gigabyte A320M-S2H motherboard with bios Version F.20, I've been having problems with extreme slow boot time (10 minutes on average), I checked the task manager and the last bios time is 8.8 seconds so the problem is windows, I've tried a lot of things, I disabled fast startup, I've cleaned my files, I checked my hard drive with crystaldiskinfo, I have +700gb free space in my disk and it still takes 10 minutes to boot.

    I checked the event viewer (Applications and Services Logs->Microsoft->Windows->Diagnostics-Performance) and found several errors ID 100

    Windows has started up: Boot Duration : 121270ms IsDegradation : false Incident Time (UTC) : ‎2019‎-‎08‎-‎21T02:07:09.283471400Z 

    Which means that Windows only takes 2 minutes to startup but for some reason it loads after 10 minutes, what could the problem be?

    My specs are:

    Ryzen 3 2200G

    8 GB RAM

    Toshiba DT01ACA100

    Edit: OS is Windows 10 Pro

    How do I revert to the old search?

    Posted: 20 Aug 2019 11:36 PM PDT

    My computer updated today, and I can't stand the new search box. I had turned off Cortana and blocked web searches, now it seems like I have no choice to exclude web results. If I want to search the web, I will open a web browser and search the web, if I use the search function all I want is to search for things in my computer. I'm not fond of the tabbed layout either.

    Is there any way to revert back to the old search and turn off web results?

    S mode, benefits to the techie?

    Posted: 21 Aug 2019 10:47 AM PDT

    I picked up a Surface Go which shipped with S mode on.

    I get that it pitches "security, device health, etc," but my question is how?

    Is it essentially an overzealous Applocker? Does it pitch security and speed because the only install source is the MS Store and UWF management?

    But most importantly I'm thinking about how it says saves power. Does it turn off certain subsystems, or is it back to the curated UWF app management?

    Microphone issues

    Posted: 21 Aug 2019 01:55 PM PDT

    Hey! My problem is, that after doing a clean install of windows, my microphone stops working. It is detected, i even tested it, it records some audio, but i cant hear anything from it unless it is directly touching my mouth. I've had this issue the last time i reinstalled windows too, but i have no idea how i managed to solve this. I just spent 4 hours of reinstalling drivers and restarting my computer, and i gave up, so i decided to write my first reddit post ever, because i couldn't find anything about this issue. The headset is connected via jack, and it stopped working right after i cleaned my pc. I hope you guys can help me.
