Inacessible Boot Device bluescreen after using Driver Updater

Hi there,

Just installed my Driver Updater on my new PC and after updating the drivers and a required restart I get a Bluescreen with the message "Inacessible Boot Device" adn restarting does not help, nor does turning the desktop off and on again.

What to do now?

Christoph

PS: The "Device" above is probably incorrect as I'm writing this from my laptop.

Correct pagefile size for 4Gb RAM DDR2

i am having some issues with pagefile's maximum and minimum numbers. when i set the numbers to minimum= 3583 and maximum= 6184. my game, GTA V, has some graphical bugs. like the textures dissapear when im driving to fast. and the game after a time playing it crashes. so whats the ideal number to put in the pagefile for 4gb ram ddr2?
my specs:

windows 8.1 pro
amd phenom quadcore 9600 2.30 ghz
4gb ram ddr2
nvidia gt 710 2gb vram

i also have it set to minimum and maximum 6184 because its the currently alocated number in the bottom of the pagefile window

Windows freezes frequently

I cannot seem to resolve the freezing problem. sometimes it freezes after a very short time after start-up and occassionally it works for quite sometime before it freezes again.

Do you have any suggestios what I can do to stop this or how I can find what may be causing this.

I am not a technical person so any answer have to be spoon-fed.

Thanks

Cannot create New Folders

After the New Folder option that is usually available after right clicking is somehow gone or disabled, is it possible to regain the ability to create new folders with this PC that I'm using without having to rely on copying existing folders or giving myself blank ones from another PC?

Everytime I try to download the newsest version of BootSpeed, my laptop saves it as an Adobe PDF file and will not open/install. Will completely removing the BootSpeed app and then downloading the newest version work around my problem?

Optimising memory usage

Hi Guys,
I have noticed some apps reserves too much memory for itselfs like Google Chrome,
is it possible to get Auslogic Bootspeed 12 to free some of the memory on a regular basis, for example when it reaches 85% of usage?

also it would be nice to improve memory and CPU by disabbling things that are not required when we want to get out more performance from our PC,

The BS12 RAM and CPU optimization seems to be going into that direction, but require a little bit of more control over processes?

Disk Defrag Ultimate vs BoostSpeed built in defrag tool

I have Boostspeed 12.

Is there any benefit in having Defrag Ultimate? Boostspeed 12 includes defrag. Can Defrag Ultimate do anything the defrag in Boostspeed can't do?

Is Defrag Ultimate only intended to be used with Boostspeed 11, and earlier versions of Boostspeed?

Thank you.

Does Rammerhead leave adult website traces?

So these "rammerhead" links like rammer.rude.li ive been using for accessing anything that is adult and is purported to have privacy becuase its a browser inside your browser that has a different IP to prevent ISP from seeing your activity but it is deteced in adult website traces in privacy of auslogics? is this not really private and is just a false sense of security like incognito?

Bluetooth keyboard pairing problem (MX KEYS MINI)


Hello,



When pairing the device, the system and Bluetooth recognizes it, but NO WINDOW APPEARS to enter the pairing code.



I have tried it several times, but always with the same result. The device I want to connect is a MX KEEYS MINI keyboard. My system is Windows 10 LTSC 2019.



The technical service of the keyboard manufacturer (Logitech) has not been able to give me a solution.



Thank you in advance for your help, I remain at your disposal for any additional information that could be useful to you.
