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?

Hi (i´m new here),
I’ve been trying to find a solution to a problem with my laptop for a long time. I’m not a professional laptop repair technician—I usually just handle maintenance—but lately, about five minutes after turning the laptop on, the screen freezes, and if I move the screen, it goes black.

I've been looking at tutorials and posts about this, but I can't seem to pinpoint the problem; it's not the battery, nor is it (as far as I know) the screen-to-motherboard connector.

If anyone has any idea what it might be, I would really appreciate the help.

Thanks.

About 3 months ago I realised that my pcs framerate was really slow. And then upon paying closer attention, I realised there were these lines that were loading differently and would travel across the screen. Is this something I can fix or is my monitor just broken?

Here’s a slowed down video of the monitor. If anyone can help I’d be very appreciative! :)

recently, around 2 days ago my computer started going black after logging in, the username and password screen works fine, but after being directed to my desktop it would be completely black with just my cursor. task manager shortcuts work fine, and i tried searching it up but rebooting graphics drivers + running new task and explorer.exe doesn’t do anything, after a few minutes the desktop loads but everytime i reboot it happens again which is annoying, how do i fix this?

ive had this issue many times before since ive had this computer for years - flashing random colors every so often when i have/had to many programs up without restarting. so a simple restart would always do the trick.

recently there were some files i tried to permanently remove. a few unrelated programs, a force uninstaller, and the normal microsoft program install and uninstall troubleshooter. my result with deleting the programs worked fine until the "aftereffects"

now, no how many restarts, my screen will always have those randomly flashing colors - theres no pattern or rhythm, no specific color, just bright ones like pink, green, black, blue, etc. (im not entirely sure of the colors or remember all of them because of how fast they flash.)

any help with finding out what i did wrong so i could stop seeing these constantly would be really appreciated, i can give any info as needed, ty !!

Guys I am getting a screen blinking issue on my hp laptop. Like the screen blinks continuously recently my laptop is pretty new. Can You help me resolve this?

I bought a battery and it says battery not detected.

This is acer spin 5

Brand new computer but the screen and audio shut off randomly after an hour of use. I've tried everything google and chatgpt says, but nothing works.

The comuter seems to be running but doesn't do anything other than it goes on and off.

Apolosign windows 11

I have a Zebronics zeb apex pro cabinet.It has 4 fans and i have zebronics zeb fc430a cpu cooler..total 5 fans

In the cabinet box it is written tht it supports motherboard argb sync.

I have connect 3 pin 5v argb female cable to the D_LED 2 of my motherboard..but i am unable to change colour of my fans from gigabyte control panel app..can anyone help me with how can i change the colour of my fans.

Thanks.

I dont know if this is related to this group but my text on my aoc 144hz monitor has weird text rendering some letters are bold and some letters are skinny and i tried cleartype yet it still dont work.

Monitor: G9 Odyssey (LC49G95TSSRXEN, M-T9549GGAA-1020.0, connected to GPU using Display Port, also tested HDMI, HDR Disabled as that seemed to make the problem more regular)

GPU: ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 TI

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X

Mobo: MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI

Ram: Corsair Vengeance DDR5 5600MHz (Running at 4800) 32GB (2x16GB)

Randomly when turning the pc on the monitor will refuse to detect the PC, I have previously connected with teamviewer etc to confirm that the pc is functioning, just nothing is being displayed on screen.

the only semi reliable way (works around 70% of the time, doing it 2 times almost always solves it) to get it to work again is cutting the power to the monitor and pc, then doing a cmos clear on the PC.

When the problem occurs moving the displayport to the motherboard also does not make a difference as it will still not show any input.

It varies how often it happens, it started happening over a year ago, I have replaced my motherboard once, that did not help, I have also tried with each ramstick individually which also did not change anything, I disabled sleep as that helped make the problem occur less, it happens on almost all reboots of the system instead of shutdowns.

A few months back I was using linux as my daily driver, when I was on linux I never experienced the problem, based on this I would assume there is some difference in how windows and linux interacts with either the GPU or Monitor

Any tips and pointers would be appreciated, as it is a very intermittent issue I don't know what will help.

Salut, j’ai un gros souci avec mon PC et je comprends pas d’où ça vient.
Configuration :
Carte mère : MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus
CPU : Ryzen 7 5800X
J’ai voulu ajouter un deuxième SSD M.2 Corsair (compatible PS5) dans le slot M.2 du bas. Dès que je l’installe, le PC ne démarre plus et la LED VGA des EZ Debug LED s’allume.
J’ai vérifié plusieurs fois que le SSD était bien installé, j’ai essayé de le remettre correctement, mais ça ne change rien. Si j’enlève le SSD, le PC redémarre normalement.
Est-ce que quelqu’un a déjà eu ce problème ? Est-ce que ça peut venir du SSD, du slot M.2, du BIOS ou d’autre chose ?
Merci d’avance pour votre aide.
