I’ve got five computers all run windows 10 at the moment (I will upgrade to 11) and I want to see what are some ideas I can use them for? Any help is much appreciated.
Hi everyone, hoping someone can help me out because I'm completely stuck 🙏
My PC (Corsair 750W, Ryzen 5 gen 3, RTX 3070, 16GB) has been acting up for about 2 weeks now, and it's slowly getting worse.
At first, it would just freeze once an evening, and a quick restart would fix it. Then it started freezing after gaming sessions when I was just chilling on Discord VC. Now, my monitors often lose signal completely or won't turn on at all. Sometimes taking out one display cable lets one monitor turn on, but it's totally random.
If I force shut down, it usually gets worse, and I have to fully unplug the power cables from both the PC and the monitors. Sometimes the screens won't turn on for 10 boot attempts in a row. A power flush sometimes helps it boot up, but then it just freezes again randomly after 2 to 10 minutes. But when in voice call i can still hear and my mic will also work. But the games will shut down in the sense If I play Minecraft I will auto leave the world when in freeze. Also getting unstuck is only done by rebooting.
Here is what I've already tried:
Used DDU to uninstall drivers (first time in normal mode crashed, second time in Safe Mode worked). Reinstalled via Nvidia App and also tried NVCleanerstall. Swapped my old power supply for a brand new Corsair 750W. Checked temps (no overheating at all) and ran sfc /scannow.
While typing this post, I actually got a Windows error for the first time, so now I'm starting to think it might be a Windows/OS issue rather than hardware (see photo) after this screen I’m just having the same issues and I’m thinking this part is more cause and not reason.
Is there a good cheap brand of PC that's under 200$? I don't know anything about PCs and only need it for writing and recording, is there any good options??
I turned on my pc today to download a game on steam and noticed the download speed was stuck at 0. I was getting around 200Mbps yesterday, and i did not play with any settings that would affect my computers wifi at all. I looked at task manager to see that i was getting no more than 1Mbps at the absolute highest. I then did a speed test through the app and saw that my speeds looked normal on it. Websites all load at normal speeds, but task manager and steam show basically no internet connection.
I have tried unplugging and replugging my router, forgetting and reconnecting to the wifi, restarting my pc, a bunch of various commands, and updating my drivers and nothing has changed.
Hello! I recently purchased the SSD on the right but realised it has another notch. Does it matter? I am not too smart so i am sorry if the question is dumb... the one on the left came with my pre-build. Thank u for the help!
I'm not sure what specifications the post need but my computer is a Omen Hp 25L gaming desktop GT15-0xx. Please let me know if more specs are needed.
I know it's not the best, I just need to know if it's capable, and if it's a huge headache getting it to work right.
For context it would be for my son who is 9 and is used to gaming on a ps4. It would probably be used primarily for fortnite, forza, GTA, cod... Typical mainstream games you'd find on a console.
I'd be pairing it with a ryzen 5 5500x3d on a b550 chip set.
I'm not looking for top of the line, I'm looking for capable on a budget , and asking for real user experience, not just specs
This recently started happening about a month ago, not sure what started causing it but malware keeps blocking access to america-ship.com, claming that google chrome is trying to reach out to it. I don't have any extensions and haven't even used that site.
Google says that the site is a shipping, legit site that is sometimes used by retailers. Anybody else have any experience with this?
Hi, I've been searching for information, but the keywords are making difficult to find what I need. And, what do I need? the right info before screwing things up. Please before posting, read the details that describe the issue first ✌
What's the problem: my Dell E2016HV 19.5 LED Monitor shows a dark shadow on the lower right spot. I'm clear this is a led problem, that part is not emitting any light. It looks exactly like the picture inserted above.
Can I fix it?: in theory, yes, I've fixed screens like that before 👍 by fixing loose cables, or replacing the LED strips.
Then why don't you fix it?: In this case, after opening the monitor, I couldn't find any space for led strips, it seems as if the whole screen is glued together. I don't know, because further tear down seems a way to ruing it, and I decided to FIRST ask for opinions and advice, perhaps someone with experience may tell me that I should dare to continue, or don't, because there are certain kind of screens that can't be entirely tear down. I have tried to search the web for info, details and difference on LED screens, but the keywords are difficult to get me the right information, all I find is what I don't need.
Yes, I already read the link suggested by reddit as I write this post, but my case is not listed there.
Any info will be appreciated.
Just to make it clear: I have seen the guts of diff screens, some having led strips on the top and bottom; some on the side, left and right; some on the back, but this one is packed, and thin, and I don't see any leds glued.
Have an old Toshiba MK4026GAX and can’t seem to figure out what reader I need to get into it. I have standard IDE/SATA readers but the pins in this HD seem to not be separate from a center plastic plate. Not sure what I could do from here. Pictures for reference.
I’m from South Asia (Sri Lanka) and trying to decide between these two refurbished machines. Mac Mini M4 Pro – 24GB RAM, 512GB SSD – $1,120 (LKR 348K) ASUS TUF A16 – Ryzen 7 260, RTX 5070 8GB, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD – $1,530 (LKR 475K)
Both are refurbished, and these are the local prices here.
I’m an AI/ML engineer, but most of my daily work involves Python, Docker, AI agents, Playwright browser automation, and running automated YouTube workflows (video generation, editing, rendering, etc.).
I also want to experiment with image-based model training and do some occasional gaming. Currently, I only have a PS4.
The Mac Mini is about $410 cheaper, but the RTX 5070 would give me CUDA support and much better gaming performance.
I’m looking for something that can handle multiple automated workflows running throughout the day and last me at least 4–5 years.
Would you go with the Mac Mini and use cloud GPUs when needed, or spend the extra money on the ASUS?
Would appreciate some opinions, especially from anyone using either machine for similar workloads.
Hi! I installed a program on my laptop and then after a while realised it was a copy of the site I needed. After a while i logged into my social media and saw crypto scam is being messaged frok my profiles and notifications from messages are turned off and windows security defender is turned off when I use wi-fi
I have Lenovo Laptop. I've read some guides and what I did is turn off the internet use windows defender, malwarebytes and bitdefender to fully scan my pc and it has detected trojans and gen variant yogi. After that I went to settings, chose reset my pc, clean everything and clean the drive and reinstall windows. I also changed every password and bank pin and deleted all autofills and cookies
But I heard that it's better to reinstall windows via USB from a safe pc. I don't have that option unfortunately. Are my steps enough? Please help!
I have an Extensa 2519 laptop with an Intel Celeron n3060 Cpu and 8gb RAM and SSD. But I cant really do anything with it because it struggles with browser or telegram or PowerPoint. It is currently running Windows 10. I cant convince my parents to buy me a new laptop because we are refurbishing kur house right now and it takes almost 5 months but I have schoolwork to do. Need any suggestions on what to do. Hope someone reads this.
I only had two firefox tabs open and randomly my comp started lagging?opened task manager to see ALL 16 gbs of ram being used, I dont know how to access my usage history so idk how to check what it was using it for
The assholes over in r/bravia aren't any help. Basically, my TV came with a camera attachment. I'd love to use that as a webcam instead of buying a dedicated camera. They gave me this accessory that I'm never going to use, and I'd like to put it to work.
It doesn't have USB. It is connected directly into my TV with a priority connector. How would I make it work on my computer?
When I first got this monitor around 2 years ago, I had never really paid attention to it to notice but I think either this was already there right from the beginning or it was just less noticeable back then and lately I started noticing it felt like it started expanding more and more into the screen despite how small of a space it takes up in the corner of my screen, I started noticing it in the top right and bottom left of the corner of my screen too (but my bottom right is fine), I went and look through old photos and noticed the top right corner of my screen in old photos didn't have them before but they do now, does anyone know what could be causing them and if there is a fix for it? Feels like my monitor is really new and my prior history with 2-3 of my older monitors I've never had any issues with them and had used them for far many years more than this current one I'm using.
Не понимаю почему заявленная скорость не соответствует описанию, проверил КристалМарк скорость 7200/4000 диск Kingston KC3000 512gb, решил проверить скорость и попробовал перенести папку с файлами со старого ссд на новый м2, в итоге скорость не превышает 400мб сек, что это такое?
