I seem to have broken my computer by trying to run windows repair
tsmith:
Tom,
The machine that was going black has started to work again. I am not sure what caused it to work again. I removed 1 of the 4 memory modules and simply put it back in then started it and it ran so I removed some of the files because it was very full then I updated the video driver and updated windows. At that point it seemed to have caused it to function again correctly. I now am trying to deal with the Dell laptop that has the windows.com stopcode Driver Power State Failure message
I will try your fix and let you know what happens-( https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-performance/help-with-blue-screen-driver-power-state-failure/3a7427d5-8965-47d4-858d-b34601496f65 Where it's telling you to go into the Power Options, uncheck the boxes for fast start-up and Hibernate.)
I have a version of windows repair 2018 v4 on my dell computer now and am wondering if this is the correct current version? If its not can I go to the below links to get the updated version?

I also have been trying to install a usb device I have Realtek 8812AU Wireless Lan 802.11ac USB NIC (LTeriver 1200Mbps Dual Band Wi Fi Adapter) for a faster wireless connection on this DELL which currently has a built in Wifi and Bluetooth. I can not get it to install so it works on the dell but was able to get to work on the other computer that also has windows 10. I was wondering if you had a fix for me. http://lteriver.com/download.php
Thank you again for your help.

Glad to see that machine is working now but I had asked you to remove all but one of the memory modules to see if it would boot and then try each of the remaining in turn which would have pinpointed if any were defective.
For Win 10 x64 you require a min of 32GB free space for it to work properly.
Turning off Hibernate will give you a few more GBs of space and perhaps a defrag may also help.
Yes, it would be best if you downloaded the latest version of WR from www.tweaking.com
I'm not sure if you could try installing the driver for that USB in Safe Mode with Networking as Win 10 disables wireless in that mode, but in that mode any 3rd party programs that could be interfering with the install would be isolated.
You would need to Ethernet connect.
What is happening when it fails to install - are you getting any error messages ?

I have 1 Asus Computer and 1 Dell that both have recently had windows 10 installed. The wireless ac usb device does work on the Asus which was the computer with the memory issue you asked me to remove the memory 1 by 1. When trying to install the wireless ac USB device to the Dell it fails to install and I get this error when looking at the properties tab in Device Manager-Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39). The Dell computer also has a Dell wireless 1540 802.11A/g/n (2.4 Ghz/5Ghz) network adapter that does work luckily, today anyway. however today when I turned the Dell on my the Intel 82579UM Gigabit Network Connection went out or stopped working and gives me this message under properties (device cannot start. (Code 10) {Operation Failed} The requested operation was unsuccessful. So right now the only way I can get on the internet is wirelessly using the wireless 1540 802.11A/g/n (2.4 Ghz/5Ghz) network adapter. I am having issues since I moved to windows 10 ( about 1 month or so for the dell and a little longer for asus). Any thoughts? I tried to go to an earlier restore point but did not have on the Dell. Do you think these are 2 old to work with windows 10? I am worried but at the same time cant afford to get a new one. Thanks again!! You really are so helpful I am very appreciative!
Boggin:
One adapter could be conflicting with the other, so when you try to install the new one, go into Device Manager, right click on the inbuilt one and select Disable to see if it will install then.
If they are both trying to get a DHCP IP address, then that will conflict and knock out your connection.
I upgraded two low spec Toshiba Win 7 laptops to Win 10 which were bought in 2011 and while the shop where I bought them from said they weren't compatible with Win 10, while one seems a bit slower than the other, they both work fine.
What do Dell and ASUS say about compatibility of the machines ?
tsmith:
so the dell computer now has an ethernet connection so I can wire directly to the router with a cat 6 cable. Not sure what the blank happened but now I have that connection back. I will try to disable now and install. I will tell you what happens
