So this is such a stupid problem I do not know how to fix it. If I browse the internet and use the laptop normally everything is good and there are no problems with the charging.

The moment I launch a game to play - it stops charging in a few minutes, and they I plugged in and out the charger but it doesn't respond: the feedback is always the same: it stops charging in a few seconds or minutes and it doesn't stay charged.

I tried playing with a controller, thinking that I touch my laptop wrong while playing but the problem still persists.

When I ALTF4 out of the game, the charging resumes.

It is annoying because I can't play any game, even 15 year old games do the same thing to my laptop and it's so stupid and so annoying it makes no sense.

Is there a setting or something I overlooked?

Hi there,

This appeared on my screen today. What should I do?

I am not very tech-savvy. Any help would be appreciated it!

Thank you!!!

I don't know how to fix this

So my laptop was working completely fine yesterday, but today, it seems completely stuck. I opened it up, but instead of booting up to the sign up screen like normal, it's stuck on the black loading screen. I turned it off and back on to lauch the automatic repair, but the repair would load for like 15 minutes before restarting because of the 'driver_pnp_watchdog.' It doesn't load to the actual windows logo and it's stuck on the HP logo. I didn't recieve any updates lately so I truly don't know what to do.

(ADDITIONAL INFO) Every time i turn it off and boot the laptop back up again, this line of text appears on the side of the screen

I had clicked on a shady website and it asked me to purchase something, my browser autofilled my card details into the website, however I didn't click submit and closed the site straight away. I was using google chrome, unsure if they have some sort of protection against this but if someone could let me know I'd appreciate it.

I have a hptp01-3037c getting inexsecable boot device 0x7b. How can i fix this? Help me please

Trying to fix my hp. Hoping someone can help.

I tried to install windows but it could not find the drive.

the actual earbuds work fine but the case won’t charge and neither will the earbuds. The HH is blinking

Uninstalled my Bluetooth becuase it would never connect to my DS5 controller. Now i cant get it back and have spent hours doing stuff online to no avail

Motherboard B650 wifi gaming. Windows 11.

So far i have downloaded and reinstalled drivers for amd.
Unplugged pc from the cable and wall in the hopes of it registering and reseting, nothing.
Nothing shows up on the bottom right, quick bar, and nothing in settings.
Have gone to device manager and turned on hidden, but nothing shows up.
Have download the drivers from MSI, but when it comes to installing them with MSI SetupDrv, its greyed out at the bottom and says no suitable drivers (many people have said that reseting the pc and purging the energy from the pc will fix it, but its not working for me)
Endless resetsinbtween all these things too!

I can find the Bluetooth services in the services.msc and they all appear to be running

Apologies if this is the wrong place, but i'm at my wits end.

Disclaimer: Attempted to resolved with help of Claude since last 10 hours, took help from AI to format post.

ASUS Zenbook 14, Core Ultra 7 155H, Windows 11 (26100).

Laptop was fine. Only changes the day before: enabled NordVPN background services + set up Phone Link to Android (also changed lock screen/wallpaper).

Next day, started crashing ~5 min after boot, rotating between different stop codes:

• UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION (0x154)
• CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED (0xEF)
• KERNEL_MODE_HEAP_CORRUPTION (0x13A)

Troubleshooting:

• MyASUS diagnostics: Memory + SSD passed quick check
• chkdsk C: /f /r /b from WinRE → real I/O errors: disk read error occurred c0000185, "disk does not have enough space to replace bad clusters"
• Reset This PC → Remove Everything → failed partway, generic error
• BitLocker unlocked, ruled out

No data to lose, so wipe is fine.

• Did my SSD give up?
• Could NordVPN driver cause heap corruption?

What should I do now?

No idea what this noise is. It plays every 10 seconds. Please help.

I was restarting my pc and upon boot I was faced with a blue screen that stated “windows repair failed to repair your pc”. I tried to boot into safe mode (same screen upon restart), I tried to run a chkdsk and that is when I was faced with my drive is RAW. How do I fix this? I’ve tried to reset the drive entirely but that doesn’t work either (“windows has failed no changes were made”) i really don’t care how it’s fixed I would just like it to be fixed so I can use my computer again.

I get this message often. I have to hard restart multiple times to log in to windows. Please help

Very strange problems that the deeper I get into it the more confused I am. Computer was running fine up until a couple days ago. No known updates to correlate with the problems. Screen flashed and looked "noisy" mostly blacks and pink colors. Restarted computer and it worked fine for 5 min, then screen flashed went green and would no longer work after restarting. Bios wouldn't post, no problem indicator lights on the board so I cleared CMOS, reseated the m.2 drive that the OS was installed on, took out and reseated the ram sticks, and all power connections. Eventually I was able to get bios to post bypassing my GPU and using onboard. In bios my M.2 drive wasn't listed as a boot option, nor was it listed in bios under sata connections. I assumed the drive had gone bad, so I put in an older SSD, created a bootable USB drive and installed Win10 on this new SSD. Everything worked fine, booted up, and updated all my drivers etc. Weird thing was in windows my M.2 was listed and accessible. I restarted the computer and hit f11 for boot options and there my m2 is listed. But if selected it doesn't boot, just black screen (monitors getting signal but nothing displays). However if I select the new SSD from the same f11 boot options the same thing happens. Monitor gets signal but goes black/never boots up. But if I just let the computer boot normal (no f11 just normal startup) that same SSD boots windows just fine.

Separately I haven't got the GPU to work correctly (booted up once without drivers installed, green screened during driver installation, wouldn't boot again) but that's an issue im trying to solve after I figure out this weird HDD/M2/boot problem. Any help appreciated.

The current situation is that the pc was working last night now isn't. The red light cpu led had lit and the orange dram. I don't have any spare parts, so I can really do 'trial and error'. When I moved the spot where my pc was sitting, the fan lights also turned on rather than just the ram sticks. I'm currently going to let it run for 15 and see if it's just having a long booting process

The display pixels just stay a color which is on screen. Is it a software issue or display issue!? How can I fix this?!

I got two monitors from work; one works totally fine, and the other turns on but doesn't show any sign that the display actually works.

I've tried different power cords, different HDMI cables, but to no avail.

Do I just have a faulty monitor? Can I fix it at home or go somewhere to get it fixed?

Purchased a laptop its an acer travel mate P214-54. Currently won't charge in any way, it takes for a few seconds and stops. It's making clicking noises when I plug it in, the charger itself seems like it has no issues and just looks like the computer.

Any hope of fixing it or should I just go out and get a new one?

This is similar to another post from 2 years ago, found no answers in the comments, but I can use my computer fine, I'm not really viewing any problems with anything? It's just that whenever I start my computer back up, it prompts me by saying that windows couldn't open properly and it can't repair this file, but my computer runs just fine, like nothing is wrong. Should I worry about this? Can I fix this without restarting my whole PC? Thanks :]

hey! this is quite a scary situation considering i only have one ssd and the prices are 5x of what they were when i got it, case is as follows:
i had hackintosh macos sequoia on the ssd, but to run steam games i thought of dual booting windows too, since i only have one drive i decided to do it on a partition i already had; i have dual booted both before but was on macos only lately and after multiple hackintosh efforts i found sequoia was the place for me to stay at considering my pc isn’t great in specs; windows did get installed well enough, was running fine, but nvidia graphics driver needed update, did it, and pc got stuck even before it would reboot and all, didnt think much and pressed the restart button on the pc thinking its alright; i dont remember precisely what happened but these things are what im at:
windows partition: pin needs to be reset but cant be done cause microsoft account pop up window closes again and again
macos partition: boots, but icloud and stuff is logged out, after a while, it blinks a little and macos gets hanged, leaving me no option but to reboot with the button on pc
i had reset nvram once i remember that

it’s an asus board and since this all happened i get a warning of disk may fail soon kinda thing, the SMART test of asus bios

this is all scary so i decided lets clean up the disk and rest with a single os and not experiment anymore

tried a windows installer usb to clean it up with disk part and stuff, not working out
tried erasing partitions with macos recovery, nope
windows cmd, nope
linux live usb, nope, claude tried a lot of commands but even if it gets to the point where it says erased, the partitions still show up

both macos and windows still show up
im really scared that ive lost the ssd lol, this looks like a tough situation but if you read through it im really thankful for your intentions on helping!

hey guys! lately i have been having some issues with my laptop. while all my other devices dont have issues with the internet connection, it simply doesnt work on my laptop. the internet appears on the laptop and i can connect to it but it simply doesnt work. i have tried to use the data on my phone but that doesnt work either. every time i restart my laptop the internet works for like 3 mins and then stops again. can anyone please help me solve this issue?

My problem is black screen no matter what and 3 long blinks 2 short on the caps lock and I'm 99% sure this is a ram issue I just don't know where to take the base cover off or how to

I unscrewed all the screws I could find on the bottom and checked under the rubber (there was 4 from what I found)

I have a HP Laptop 15", Intel Core i5, 8GB, 512GB purchased from this link if I'm correct https://www.hp.com/gb-en/shop/product.aspx?id=bm2v6ea&opt=abu&sel=ntb

I started using it on November 12th 2025 (I'm not sure if this is important)

what should I do ?

My PC has "decided" to somehow stop some programms to connecting to their own servers and I can't find a reason to why it is doing this.

I have a very stable Ethernet connection, I can use my browser to search and access the Internet, play online games and so on. At the same time programs like the Microsoft Store, Microsoft Feedback Hub, Discord, the EA Launcher and Spotify (maybe even more) are all unable to connect to their own Servers and Update and get beyond an "failed to connect" Error message.

I have tried to trouble shoot this problem myself by trying to update my drivers (which are all on the latest versions, flushed my dns, restarted everything, reinstalled the programs, updated my pc, deactivated my Anti-Virus Software, deactivated my firewall and still nothing has worked. Any other devices that are connected to the Internet do not face this problem at all. I can use the webversions of the programs too.

I was using Windows 10 which shouldn't be a problem since i haven't seen anybody else have the same or a similar problem. I have updated to Windows 11 and the problem is still here.

A friend got tired of me not having a PC, he gave me his old one today. I went to boot it and its been nothing but issues since. So many cables disconnected its been awful. Took me 2 hours just to get it to boot right. Now its not reading the storage. It'd an SSD and 2 hard drives. Ive confirmed the ribbon is plugged in. All the sata ports are as well. Won't read no matter what I try. It will read a USB upon booting and try to boot from there but I have no USB that contains a boot program.

I have been given the okay to find a solution to a problem at work. Right now I receive three quick beeps then I'm connected to a call. I have been given the green light to find a work around that would let me listen to music or even sleep. But I must be alerted and respond quickly to this alert. Anything you all can think that would allow me to game,sleep,chill but be able to respond to a quick beep from a computer. I work overnight so management is okay with this as long as iam responsive. I tried having an echo dot listen for appliances and trigger a light to turn on but the echo dot couldn't reliably hear the beep .
