How to Resolve: CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT BSOD in Windows PC

by

The CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT error is related to your system’s hardware and specifically indicates a communication problem between your system and your processor.

When you ask your computer to do something, the operating system tells the processor that it is “interrupting” to let it know what is happening. This is a system-level process called a “system interrupt,” and it is a perfectly normal function of Windows. However, if the system lingers too long in the interrupt phase, which is called the interrupt request level (IRQL), a “blue screen” error occurs. read more

Troubleshooting: `The AC power adapter type cannot be determined`

by

To easily solve this ‘The AC power adapter type cannot be determined’ problem, you will need another original charger with the correct voltage/amperage.

First, try using a new Dell power adapter. If that doesn’t solve the problem, replace the power plug. And in the unlikely event that it’s not the adapter or plug, replace the motherboard.

Why is your ‘AC power adapter type cannot be determined’?

As the error message implies, this means that your computer cannot detect the connected charger. The power connector has 3 pins, 2 are power and ground and the third is a signal line for identifying the power supply as a compatible device (Dell). If the laptop does not receive the signal, the power supply cannot charge the battery, but it can power the laptop. This protects the battery from high currents if the charger power is higher than the manufacturer’s specification. If you ignore this message, system performance will decrease and you will notice that your CPU clock speed has halved. read more

Solution: Windows 10 Won’t Use Full RAM

by

RAM is a non-volatile storage device that is typically used to store working data and machine code. When you shut down your computer, all data on it is lost because it is a temporary storage device. The more RAM your computer has, the more smoothly it can multitask.

However, when using Windows 10, you may run into a problem. In the “System Properties” or “Task Manager” interface, you may notice that Windows is only using a fraction of the total RAM.

What is the reason why Windows 10 doesn’t use all of the RAM?

In some cases, some of the RAM is reserved for the system, sometimes some of the memory is also reserved by the video card if you have an integrated video card. But if you have a dedicated video card, this shouldn’t be a problem. Of course, 2% of the RAM is always free. read more
