Event Fire Order Dvds Ssds

If you followed my comments and the screen shots, you have heard me say, "DON'T TRUST THE MS CLAIM OF ORDER! As I got deeper and deeper into writing extensive VBA for getting things done properly (IMHO), I've seen a lot of procedures fire unexpectedly. I think the best way for a developer is to create a manner to view what's fired in a status box at the top of forms. You'll be surprised at what goes on when you might not be paying attention. It really helps in debugging.

It may be the humidity here in Colombia, but a big portion of my factory DVD collection has gone bad.

The first laptop that I bought with an SSD has recently started crashing without any warning. So, I've had an opal eye on the SSD. I also suspected driver updates from MS. I tracked down my constantly running fan (first suspecting cat hair clugging up air flow) and found two MS culprits, Edge and Anti-malware service executable using up 90% of the CPU! You can only tempoarily turn off the malware security, but doing so and shutting dowm Edge when I don't use it has reduced my crashes from once every day to not once in a week. SSD lives on.

If you find a utility that will show board temperatures, you might check those too.  If the processor seem to be running hot, it can be hitting thermal-throttling limits.  I have had to replace the thermal paste for the heat sink on a couple of old units.  You probably considered that, but others may not have.

Matt I checked the CPU and video chip temps. Needed a download for the video chip, don't remember the name (they were fine). Funny, when I kill Edge and turn off Windows Security, the fan quiets right down. And I can make videos without a background roar.

I'm in the middle of the second week of killing Edge whenever I'm not using it. Normally I have about a dozen pages open on two desktops. Keeping my fingers crossed. You gotta love MS bloat, now spreading to processsors. I just spent the morning culling out 29GB of data off my son's laptop, after removing some MS Store World Battle of Tanks game that when uninstalled, still left that much disk full of crap in a folder called MicrosoftApps. Oh, and if you see the same, don't just blow away the folder, you'll be very sorry.
