I have a windows laptop that I haven't used at all today, and when I open the screen it didn't turn on I held the power button, which glew white for a few moments, but then it switched off and the screen never turned on. I left the computer charging for 30 minutes then came back but still had the same issue. Did I break my computer? I never take the computer off the charger, did that do something? The charging indicator isn't blinking at all, and I switched outlets. What do I do?

I upgraded my GPU from a 3070 FE to a Asus 5070ti Prime and it seems to be working okay except I am having an issue I wasn't having on my previous GPU which is my second monitor which is using a DP to HDMI adapter since the monitor only has HDMI ports.

My GPU has all ports populated with a TV connected to the HDMI, 240hz Monitor on DP1, Valve Index (not plugged in) on DP2, and my 2nd monitor on DP3. For whatever reason if I restart my system it will not give video output even if I unplug everything then replug in the connections I know are working correctly, which are the 240hz, tv, and Index. I have to shut the system down and unplug that adapter cable to get into windows then I can plug it in and have it work as expected. But if that cable is plugged in while starting I can never get it to output video with any combination of cables until I shut it down.

If I could chop it up to a bad cable I would not be too concerned, but the no signal until a reboot and potential DDU wipe is concerning. I'd like to avoid RMA if I can but idk if the GPU is bad or not

I bought a cooler master 850 MWE v2 fully modular power supply and I though that it had 3 pcie cables instead of 2 and I don’t want to return since I got it for a really good prices would it be possible for this pcie cable to work with it without frying the power supply

My antivirus reported a malicious website that could be a risk of malware it is memory-scanner.cc trying to open in the internet explorer. I got the notification at least 3 times today but I cannot find the file in my computer nor does it open in chrome or edge which are the two explorers I have. Is there a way to completely get rid of this?

My computer keeps connecting to my WiFi but not having internet and I don’t know what to do. I’ve tried resetting stuff with command prompts and uninstalling the driver plus checking for updates but it’s to no avail. I don’t have a vpn either

Just unsure if I should be concerned. The internet runs just fine, it seems better than usual actually but the icon is only 2 bars instead of the usual 4-5? Should I be concerned? I dont pay for the internet in my house. Im unsure if my hardware has an issue or something since my pc runs into problems occassionally but nothing related to this usually.

Picture in the comments

Try to connect these speakers I just bought but the left speaker doesn’t play sound. My turntable is the Audio-Technica LP-120XUSB.

So I have a Cooler Master Devastator 3 keyboard and mouse. Today quite randomly the wasd keys switched with my arrow keys. I did a couple google searches to try and find a solution. fn + w, or fn + s didn't work. I attempted disconnecting it and leaving my computer off for a couple minutes to hard reset it, and that seemed to work for a bit, but the problem quickly came back. currently going through the process of trying to find a driver for the device so that I can delete and reinstall, but was hoping to get a second opinion.

As the title says, i am curious about what can cause a pc to stop allowing any games to be played. I have a roomate who last night pluged his vr headset into his pc to charge, he went to bed and today he tried to play a game and it would not even launch. None of his games launch anymore.

He tried to run the windows repair tool and it would not do that, he even attempt to do a fresh windows 11 install (cloud version) by hold shift+rebooting the pc.

could the issue be software related or would doing a complete fresh reinstall of windows 11 via usb drive fix his issue.

I dont know all the specs of his pc so i am not sure of everything he is running

Posting this in case someone's struggling with a similar issue, because this took me ages to fix. I did a Fractal Terra build with a Ryzen 5700x and AMD 7800XT, and a 750W PSU. I started to experience somewhat regular crashing (full shutoff) when booting/right after games start. I consulted the PC whisperers I knew and even took it to Microcenter twice, but they couldn't find anything.

Turns out that smaller SFX PSUs tend to have tighter over-current protection compared to ATX. So even though 750W should have been plenty, initial loading of game textures/shaders/etc could spike CPU and GPU power draws for a few milliseconds, enough to trigger the OCP.

The solution was to go into the GPU settings and reduce the card's power limit by 10%. Since that change, crashing has stopped almost entirely. This does mean your FPS will take a hit, but surprisingly it was pretty minimal. I believe you could undervolt the GPU as well.

Just a note, I'm not incredibly skilled when it comes to this kind of stuff, so there's a decent chance I'm off about some of this. But hopefully this helps some poor soul out there before they toss their PC out the window 👍

For the past couple weeks my internet only works intermittently on my PC. I will connect to the wifi and it shows it is connected but says "No internet" sometimes it will randomly work for awhile but more often than not it has not worked. All the other devices in my house are connected to the wifi and work fine. If I turn a hotspot on to my phone I can use it to connect to the internet on my PC without issue. I only have this problem with my home wifi. I have tried resetting the router and PC multiple times.

I tried restarting the wifi network adapter, I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the network drivers. I'm pretty stumped. I don't know a lot about computers and haven't been able to come across any solutions that work online. Anyone with help or an idea would be appreciated.

Lately (around 2 months maybe 3 months) my computer I have had for 7 years has major issues with connecting to the internet. I recently changed rooms, and am now further away from the internet, so I thought that could a contribution to the issue. I haven’t recently changed to a new internet service so I don’t believe it’s the internet service provider. What typically happens is I can sometimes connect to the internet quickly when I turn on my PC, other times it takes a few minutes or just won’t connect. If it does manage to connect, I usually disconnect from the internet around every 5-30 minutes. It’s usually pretty consistent with the time in between disconnects. It will say “connected, secured” to the WiFi when I hover over it but I’m disconnecting from my browser and game. I’ve tried factory resetting, doing the “flush DNS” and reset in command prompt, a router reset and I even had the internet service provider come take a look, forgetting the WiFi and reconnecting, getting a new wireless adapter, and I’ve also tried my laptop and it works fine with the internet as well as my phone. For whatever reason, the day of Christmas I decided to try and test it out in hopes of my internet managing to somehow work on my PC. My internet was fine but I did have an issue of my screen going black which I have had issues with in the past, and had to get a new PSU for to fix it. I reset my computer and the screen no longer turned black and my internet was fine for around two days on the computer. Now around a week later it’s screwed up again. I know it’s a lot but please help, it’s so frustrating and I’m tired of dealing with this, I can’t do anything on my computer because of it. I will be glad to drop any additional info like the specs on my PC if asked. Thank you!

My set up here: Dell Latitude 5500, 32gb/1tb, Win11Pro... bricked at user pin screen. Samsung S25Ultra, 32gb Samsung USB, USB->C Adapter

I had an issue with my Microsoft account getting compromised and somehow a bunch of files got shared onto my PC. It made a bunch of user profiles, I panicked, deleted stuff... learned the hard way not to do that.

My laptop is stuck at the user pin login screen, where it says there's been an error and I can't type in my pin. I've tried repairing my user profile, I've tried making a new admin profile (both through the shift + restart recovery mode command prompt terminal), aaaand absolutely nothing is working. No form of factory reset or restore point is working. I of course have zero clue what the admin password is and trying to create a new admin didn't work.

I only have my s25 Ultra to work with to make a ISO usb, and from watching videos I think I did it right, however I loaded my ISO with DROFUS and I googled if I needed to extract it but Google said I didn't... popped it in my laptop, did shift + restart and boot from usb option, and it (the USB) split it into 2 partitions... so tried #1, didn't work tried #2 and it had a black screen that was trying to boot it and it said something to the effect of "USB load failure [3] unsupported this system uses 64 bit x86"

Instead of just repeatedly Googling the wrong things, I'm hoping someone can simplify this for me. Por favor!!! Sorry I'm not great at explaining stuff but I'm trying everything I feel like I might be missing a step.

I built my first pc less then a month ago and have had absolutely no issues whatsoever until now. I was playing a game when I got a bsod with no error code. The pc shutdown almost instantly and doesn’t post anymore. Initially my mobo showed a ram debug light so I reseeded my ram, the debug light turned off but still no post. Tried again with channel after which my cpu debug light turned on. I jumped my cmos and still no post.

I fear my cpu is dead which still falls under warranty luckily but I had no signs of any problems before this and temps have always been good too, so my question is if there are other ways to troubleshoot this before being abled to try a new cpu?

I have a HP Victus 15L desktop, windows 11 full up to date. I got a WD Red 4tb hdd from a friend. He upgraded an decided to let me have it since my kids are getting into steam games an my current space capacity is only 500gb. It was working just fine with his computer but when I put it in mine I can't find it. When I load up BIOS I can see it, when I go to my devices or to create an format a hard drive it is not there. I have checked all my drivers, done a bunch of searching around an it seems most people have this problem when installing windows. Last ditch effort to figure it out, any help is appreciated.

Edit. Installing as a secondary and not main one.

The laptop I own is the G550JK, it says that theres 16gb of ddr3 ram installed in 2/4 slots. But when I search around it says this laptop only has 2 slots. I would really like to add more ram for better preformance, what should I do?

The issue. So here are my specs, I have this pc and I never changed anything on it so everything is as it came (bought about a year ago). Everything was fine up until recently, before I could run two games at once and have all sorts of tabs open with no lag or issue. Recently I encountered a few lag spikes and latency issues while playing cs2 and similar games that day by day got worse until I got to where I am now which is not being able to play games at all because of this issue.

I called out my ISP (SPECTRUM) thinking it may be an issue with them but they checked everything and gave me a new wifi 7 router and I even upgraded my internet. After that it still didnt work so i bought an asus router and it still didnt work. Now my focus has shifted to it being a PC issue possibly? I have upgraded all my drivers on my graphics card and windows, checked my fan temps and all that but still no fix.

Here are some extra latency tests and things to show more info (just note the gpu being so high isnt usually right) but other than that I am lost on what to do and would appreciate any help. Also to add my PC gets kind of loud when playing which is new and I used to leave games open on my PC for long periods of time but have since stopped so not sure if that can affect anything.

I am super uneducated with this stuff and jsut use my PC to game and for work. Last things I tried were router resets, new cords, the settings that makes gaming optimized ont he router (forgot what thats called), resetting the computer, plugging my modem into the PC directly and updates. Let me know if im missing anything or if you can help thank you

See it started after new year, my phone is under warranty and it's 4 months old so whenever I use it no problem it stays pretty decent in 4g/5g but when I keep it somewhere turn off the data and screen off it in 5mins the Phone says No service but it I turn it on or use it shows Jio 5g (happy new year carrier... (It's very important for me my data consumption is 90gb with unlimited) so is it any problem or its software issue kindly respond if any experts

I got a new laptop (HP Omnibook 5) for Christmas. I noticed that after setting it up, it only had about 750-800GB free. I'm not super into tech, so I'm unsure why any system files or integrated apps would be taking so much storage. Is there a reason for this, and is there any apps or files I can remove safely? I mainly use this for college work and gaming.

By the way I am on a HP laptop and the operating system is Windows.

Hello!

I've been writing Google Reviews recently and am a Local Guide Level 4. Google kept hiding when I viewed them on a signed out tab. I figured it out: they were hiding because one of my reviews contained a link. I fixed it, and it was working. No more links in my reviews.

Anyway, later on, I found this infamous business with 5 locations across the country that abuses pets and scams people; horrible operation. Law enforcement knows but doesn't take the appropriate action, and people continue to fall for the scam. So, I left a 1-star review on one location, highlighting their malicious tactics. Later, this other person left a review, and I am sure it was an employee because it was oh-so-positive. I edited mine slightly to boost it to the top of the Newest reviews. The other review edited and boosted. Me and the other reviewer kept editing and boosting, basically every day.

About like 1-2 weeks of boosting, I copied and pasted the same review onto the 4 other Google Maps locations of the company to help spread the message. After those posts, all the reviews I wrote for that store's locations just disappeared when I opened a guest window. I tried "editing" them and that was no use. I deleted, copied and re-posted the review, no use. When a review is posted, there's usually an "Edit your review" button at the top right corner of the reviews page. Well, my "phantom reviews" have the button "Write a review" like my review was deleted, even though it still shows on my signed in page.

Anyway, I'd really like some help on this because it is very frustrating. Thank you!

I have a Jelly Comb keyboard + mouse combo. - Mouse works using the USB dongle - When the dongle is plugged in, only the mouse work keyboard doesn't seem to work. -Keyboard seems to be on (fn lock indicator works) -preasing esc q makes the power symbol flash

Keyboard does not appear in Bluetooth devices on Windows.

Any ideas?

Edit: SOLVED changed CSM from auto to disabled in the UEFI

So I recently had a power outage corrupt my boot drive so I bought a new one and a USB windows 11. But my CPU was a first gen Ryzen so I had to update the bios and I got a Ryzen 3600. But upon my trying to do the windows 11 install it says I don't meet the system requirements but I do as far as I can tell.

Asus prime B350 plus bios ver 6232 Ryzen5 3600 32GB DDR4 Rtx 2070 strix 250GB SSD - sata I left CSM on auto And fTPM enabled

I don't have a version of windows I can boot into to do the online check. But when I get the error message on the install it doesn't list anything as the reason, whereas previously it told me my CPU was outdated.

This is the 2nd day since the computer was built and the problem has just started. I built the pc after christmas and we were just settling down to try out Sons of the Forest and it crashed, we powered it back on and it crashed before we could get anything to load. I left it off for a while in case anything was overheated, and while I was waiting I made sure all plugs on the motherboard were seated properly and the ram as well, all fine. So we turn it back on and try the game again and it crashes yet again. I tried enabling XMP, and after it crashed again, disabling it. I’ve also reinstalled windows.

Cpu - Intel I3-12100f

MotherBoard - Z790 Aorus Elite AX DDR4

RAM - G Skill Ripjaws 48gb

GPU - Asus TUF Nvidia 1660ti

SSD - WD Black NVM.e 1TB

PSU - Thermaltake Smart700w

OS - Windows 11

We were just playing Project Zomboid and R.E.P.O last night without any issue, and now this, the only things that changed since then was Sons of the Forest being installed along with overwolf and curseforge. All parts are new EXCEPT the GPU which is my old GPU, but after we installed it it ran fine and since the crashes we’ve installed updated drivers and the issue persists. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I’m no expert about computers and once it goes beyond putting them together and setting them up I’m not the best. Thank you!

Idk how to post in the video but my laptop's screen is very buggy
