First back up your important data. Then boot into Safe Mode and uninstall any recently added antivirus backup or disk tools. In Normal mode update Windows and update chipset and storage drivers from your PC maker not random sites. Run Command Prompt as admin and do sfc /scannow then DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and finally chkdsk /f /r on your system drive. Run Windows Memory Diagnostic to rule out RAM issues. If the crash persists check the minidump in Event Viewer or use a crash analyser to identify the offending filter driver and remove or update that software.
My mom stored all of our family photos on this Intel Bevy she bought. She passed away years ago and I’ve put off trying to figure the issue of getting the photos off the device (lots of other hard drives that I looked through and had to buy tons of cable adapters to be able to look at them). Does anyone have any advice for getting the photos off the Bevy?
If your microSD card is physically damaged (bent, cracked or snapped), recovery might still be possible, but it depends a lot on how badly it’s damaged. Minor damage (like cracked casing) can sometimes be handled with “chip-off” recovery by professionals, whereas if the actual memory chip is shattered, it’s often hopeless.
Hi everyone,
I keep getting the error “Local Device Name is Already in Use” when trying to access a network drive or map a shared folder on my Windows PC. Because of this, I cannot access some important files, and I’m worried that trying to force a reconnection or disconnect could result in data loss or corruption.
Can someone explain why this error occurs and provide safe, step-by-step methods to fix it while keeping my files intact? I’d appreciate clear guidance for both Windows 10 and 11.
Thanks in advance for your help!
SD cards can fail for many reasons, including power surges, improper ejecting, or using low-quality readers.
Don’t try to format the card if you need to recover data.
My friend took photos of me and my other friend on an sd card, but while it was uploading, she pulled it out of the adapter and now it’s corrupted and we can’t access the photos with any adapter—the card just doesn’t show up. Is it possible to recover the photos, and if so, how?
I have spent the past three hours perfecting my first video audition for a Hollywood film, however the card corrupted somehow in the few moments before taking it out the camera and putting it into my computer. The deadline to send in the footage is in a couple of hours and would love to know if there is any way to recover it or if I’ll have to quickly record it again.
Some days ago, I was downloading stuff from pkjg and the download crash. It wouldn’t cancel or restart, so I rebooted my vita slim model. After turning on, my sd card wasn’t being recognized anymore (I use a sd2vita) and I lost all my games and data. So, I got a new sd card, but my vita can’t format it and reads it as blank (0GB). What should I do? Losing my mind right now. Just wanted to play some rock band unplugged.
Need a tool to recover deleted files/folders on windows, keeping original names. Any proven recommendations?
This error usually pops up when Windows notices a driver or memory process taking too long to respond and it gets protective, so the system throws a blue screen to avoid damage. The easiest fix is to update your graphics and chipset drivers through Windows Update or the device makers site because outdated drivers trigger this most often. If that does not help then run a memory check with Windows Memory Diagnostic and let it complete fully since weak RAM can also cause this. You can also open Command Prompt as admin and run sfc /scannow followed by DISM restore health to repair any system files that got corrupted.
I just realised that my HDD is dead
I just want to know if I can recover data from it now?
Please help
This usually happens when the update loads a temporary profile, so start by making sure you are signed in to your primary account. Check the folders inside C:\Users to see if your original profile still holds the missing files. Then review File History, Previous Versions and the Windows.old folder because these are the safest recovery points Windows creates during major updates. If these options do not bring back your data, you can turn to Stellar Data Recovery since it scans the drive without putting extra strain and clearly shows you what is recoverable before you restore anything.

It usually means the file system on your SD card is corrupted, but the data is still physically there. Don’t format it yet- that only makes recovery harder.
First, try different USB ports, cables, and computers. In Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (Mac), check if the drive is detected but not mounted. If it appears unallocated or RAW, data recovery software like Recuva or Photorec might help recover files.
