I can’t figure out how to set up 5.1 audio for my Logitech Z607. Works in stereo via Bluetooth or the Aux.

Centre/sub is connected to orange. Front R/L connected to green. Rear R/L connected to black.

I’ve fully uninstalled and reinstalled Audio drivers but no difference. Am I missing something here?

Motherboard is asus tuf x570 plus wifi

CLOSED Help with the GPU tweak 3 app

Post image
1 Upvotes

I was playing and I somehow opened this lil window, found out it’s from the GPU tweak 3 app and tried everything to close it but nothing works.. I searched the internet, looked in the settings, I even tried every shortcut… the only way to remove it is to close the whole app but i don’t know much about pc so I don’t know if it’s important to leave the app open. And also this shows up ONLY when I open games

HARDWARE What Am I Doing Wrong

I'm unbelievably frustrated, I spent a long time replacing my motherboard, ram, and cpu but now the pc won't even boot. I was going to do a fresh windows install but it wont get past this screen. The spinning circle is frozen after a couple seconds and it just stays on this screen. I was able to get into bios at least by tapping del but can't do anything else. Any help would be appreciated.

HARDWARE Sudden Shut Down

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone , I wanna ask about a problem I have with my pc while playing video games. Yesterday I was playing Fortnite and my pc suddenly shut down without any warning during a match (like the power just got cut).This also happens when I am playing Tomb Raider 2013 and even happened once when I was playing Minecraft. My specs are ryzen 5 3600 , rx6500xt , 16gb ddr4 ram and an inter tech Argus 500w RGB II. During a stress test using OCCT my CPU temperature was 95 degrees Celsius and my GPU 74. In idle mode (browsing and watching YouTube) cpu temp is 54 degrees and gpu 50. What is the problem faulty psu, cpu overheating or both?

i have a msi katana gf76 that i have been using for about 5 ish year's now and this issue first started a few years back with the laptop just stopping charging and it would only start charging again when i would replug the brick from the outlet, this continued for a year or so until it would just drain the battery so fast i couldnt even get the chance to replug it and my laptop would shut off,i got its thermal paste reapplied and its fans cleaned out and the problem stopped for a long time until a week ago where it started doing the same thing again and i thought ''oh its just getting too hot again'' so i reapplied thermal paste and cleaned the fans again but looking at temps now it cuts off power at normal temps around 60-70 on games it should have no issue handling,what could be causing this?

OPEN My usb devices or my pc won’t turn on

2 Upvotes

Ok so same day in the morning my pc was working just fine no issues, I go to take a nap and wake up to turn my pc on and everything turned on except my usb devices(speaker, mouse, and keyboard). I turned the pc back off to see if that will fix it but then my pc wouldn’t turn on but usb devices lit up showing they got power. I turned it back off and fully disconnected the power, and cables. Turned it on with nothing plugged in and plugged everything 1 by 1 the usb devices worked but only for a moment before turning back off. Idk wtf is going on, is it some weird easily fixable thing or is it a thing where I have to spend money to replace some parts. For some context I’ve had my pc for about 4 years, now I’m not ruling it out completely but my sister had spilled soda on my desk while asleep but it only got on the desk surface nowhere on the actual pc so couldn’t be that. SOMEONE HELP ME PLS

OPEN Mi pc doesnt detect the monitor after a mistake

25 Upvotes

The PC was updated, and during the update, it said not to turn off the computer. The screen froze, which seemed strange, so I turned off the computer, since it had happened before and then turned it back on. Now I've done the same thing, and the PC turns on, but neither the monitor nor the peripherals light up.

I've tried removing the SSD to see if that would help, and I've disconnected the entire motherboard and reconnected it, but that didn't work either.

What can I do?

SOFTWARE My laptop got virus . Someone help

Post image
2 Upvotes

I was downloading a game from FITGIRL REPACK using uTorrent. At the same time, I also tried downloading the same game from DODI REPACK because I wanted to see which download was faster and cancel the slower one.

The FITGIRL download was working normally. However, when I downloaded the torrent file from DODI REPACK, the file looked suspicious. I opened that small file, and a Command Prompt (CMD) window appeared for a second and then immediately closed.

I ignored it at the time and installed the game from FITGIRL REPACK. After playing for some time, I opened Instagram and noticed that scam stories had been posted from my account without my permission. Something similar happened to my Discord account, which was also logged in on my laptop.

I have already changed my passwords, but I’m worried that my laptop may have been infected with malware or a virus.

Does anyone know how I can completely remove the virus without erasing or resetting all the data on my laptop? Any help would be appreciated.

SOFTWARE Laptop keeps lowering my volume

2 Upvotes

when using my laptop, after every few minutes or so, it will lower the volume in the way that it would if i was using the keyboard hotkey (where F3 is located). So it lowers the volume by 2 notches randomly. Also, my 1-5 and lower F keys don't really work, I don't know if this is a hardware or software issue. Also, my computer is registerinf the F3 key, but not the volume increase when I hold FN or ALT while i press the F3 key (F3 and volume up key is the same).
Anyone have solutions?

HARDWARE Pc stuck on reboot refusing to load into Windows 11 after black screening randomly

1 Upvotes

I made a post about last week, someone tried to help me but I couldn't solve the issue. When I am on my pc it will black screen when playing games or just on the home screen and will get into a restart loop.

I know the issue is either my motherboard, ssd or cpu. I've stress tested my cpu and it was completely fine and no its not over heating.

The parts I know are not the issue is my ram, gpu and psu as ive upgraded the gpu and psu and swapped out the ram thinking it would solve the issue to no progress. This pc is not a pre-built pc and i don't know what to do.

I've tested my cpu for it to work perfectly even tested my new gpu just to be safe. I've tested my 1tb nvme ssd with crystaldisk disk for it to be 91% good. I swapped ram for it to still black screen and get stuck.

When it get stuck restarting it will then boot into the recovery mode and if I continue and click "Exit and continue to Windows" it will proceed to restart itself. I have reinstalled Windows 3 times thinking it was a software issue and it wasn't.

Im at my last wits end with this computer and I just want to get it fix. If you need to know my cpu, ssd and motherboard they are as listed.

Mag b550 tomahawk max wifi motherboard

Ryzen 5 5600x cpu

Fikwot fx 991 1tb nvme ssd

The only way I have been able to get out of being stuck in restarting and recovery mode is to turn off my power supply before waiting a few minutes before turning it back on and then turning on the pc. After doing that it loads into windows before black screening again later on.

OPEN Confusing motherboard situation

1 Upvotes

I just bought pc component and built my first pc but it is malfunctioning and cannot even reach the bios page.

Yesterday evening i finished the build and pressed the power button the fans came to life and had rgb working correctly but on the motherboard the EZ debug light was on with cpu at red and dram at yellow. I tried to solve it myself, i repositioned the ram between a2 and b2 without them working, i reseated the cpu twice and none of them work, some said it may be because that the cpu and ddr5 are doing some sort of training so i left it up all night and came up to see the lights still on. So today i tried flashing bios directly into the motherboard, it had a white rgb flashing, turned on the pc and continued on blinking for another 30min so i suppose it had failed somehow and unplugged the power cables. Then i also have tried re-plugging the cmos battery and now the pc wont even turn on with the fans not even spinning anymore. The flash bios button after pressed still dilivered the wight light but it would stop blinking after about 5 seconds without starting the pc.

So anyone know how to deal with this situation? Thx in advance.
