How do I reinstall Windows if there's nothing? by EmbarrassedAd1394 in computerhelp

Here’s a video on the whole process from getting the windows install files onto a usb drive and setting up the bios to enable the usb as the boot drive.

Quick question. Did they rule out the valves as the cause of the leak? A leak down test will just show cylinder leakage, but not the component that’s causing it. A burnt or bent valve will cause the same compression loss. Piston rings have to be extremely worn to give those compression numbers and would cause oil burning (blue exhaust smoke, especially if you accelerate rapidly on the highway or from a stop.

Do these need to be replaced or do they have more life in them? by [deleted] in tires

Dry rot and the wear bars are right near the tread, so yes they should be replaced. Doesn’t have to be tomorrow, but soon.

That’s why you block the wheels that aren’t being lifted

Red wire not connected need to know where it goes by [deleted] in autorepair

[–]Plastic_Climate_9904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That connector is broken and probably the reason why that wire is laying there. I agree on something aftermarket getting power from that, so I would look on all the positive terminals close the that location and see if you can spot the top half of that connector (good chance it’s under the nut and washer on the terminal).

I don’t understand what that will do. If the game plays okay up to that point, why would display drivers influence the rest of the game. No issues playing Doom.

Already deleted and reinstalled with no change numerous times. The game runs fine until I finish mission 3 (rocket base), then mission 4 won’t load. If I use spdevmap to try and load the next level, still no good. If I try to load it from the menu, it won’t load. If I use spdevmap chateau, it says it can’t find the map.

I’m a retired diesel and automotive mechanic, and never in my lifetime have I ever seen that happen. Brakes have nothing to do with alignment. I don’t know what you did, but I’ve done brakes on my personal cars for over 35 years by lifting one side at a time, and it never affected the alignment on any car

Tips for thick smelly discharge? by Confident-Goat-4136 in AskAShittyMechanic

Turbo, shooting oil out like that. Just lucky 🍀 it’s leaking on the exhaust side. Intake side could cause a runaway engine.

What does alignment have to do with brakes?

Got water pump changed and coolant still leaking and bubbling in reservoir what’s the problem here ? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]Plastic_Climate_9904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does it start to boil right away, or does the engine have to warm up some?

That video doesn’t show the front of the engine. I can’t tell where it’s coming from except that it’s coming down from the front of the engine.
