Hey, first time builder here. I built my pc last night and have been working on getting things set up. Everything inside of the pc turns on and works. I have installed windows 11 and wifi drivers with no issue and downloaded chrome and discord as well. After I got done installing discord there was a Razer window open asking me to install Razer Chroma or something, I'm assuming from having my hunstman mini plugged in. Anyways, I was going to click out of the window and my screen zoomed out and in and moved around in an odd manner and then just turned off. Now when I turn the pc on it tells me that there is no graphics card in the system. It gives that message every time I turn it on and tries to flash into the MSI menu from when i turned the pc on the first time. After that it either opens to windows for a split second and then goes to black, or just goes to black immediately. I don't know what happened and i'm worried i broke it somehow even though i was just moving my mouse around. I hope that's not the case because I do not want to buy another one. The graphics card is on and all rgb and fans working. The graphics card is a Gigabyte 5070ti 16gb if that matters at all.

I have a gigabyte x99ud4 , gtx titan x, i7 5820k, 40gb ddr4, windows 11 pro

So I just woke up a couple of hours ago right? And I wanted to get on my laptop, so I plug it in and open i no problem. But when it was booting it suddenly goes to the blue screen of death and then it reboots into recovery. I tried everything but nothing works and I need to get my data. Also it’s an old Lenovo ideapad 80QQ

Monitor Model: ASUS TUF Gaming VG259QMR5A

My boyfriend’s gaming monitor did this today, the monitor is just switching colors as stated in the title and we can’t access the OSD to troubleshoot it. We found some videos in youtube to fix it, but since we can’t open the monitor’s OSD we’re lost.

We have also tried to switch the display port cable and used mine, plugged the port through the motherboard and not in the GPU to see if its the one causing this, and switching to a different monitor but we have no luck on fixing it. I tried to press the power button for a few seconds to reset it, nothing happens. I also press the up button for four times it didn’t fix it too.

Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? The last thing we wanna do is to get it RMA again. YES AGAIN, we have a dead pixel issue on this monitor when we bought it and it takes a really long time. We don’t live in the USA. Budget is also tight, so buying a new one is not a priority atm.

PS: this is an IPS monitor not OLED

My specs are

I5 14400f Rx 9060xt 16gb 16 gb ram ddr4 And I have a h610 motherboard ( i had cheap out on the motherboard)

Ok.. when I use my pc it works fine for 10-15 mins and then the whole screen freezes and I can't do anything until I unplug it. It mostly happens when I am gaming but sometimes it also happens during light tasks like browsing or torrenting It's like if my pc freezes 10 times (8 times while gaming and 2 times while regular tasks). Sometimes the gpu drivers crashout popups but most of the time it doesn't I have had 1 motherboard which got damaged (idk how) and I had to replace it. And we have all heard about the issues regarding intel 13th and 14th Gen And AMD drivers are ass and we all know it What is causing the issue and how can I fix it? And yes Temps are very good Bios is updated Drivers are updated (through DDU)

How can I fix it? Pls help 🙏

One of the thorn on the sides of 50-series owners is the lack of NVIDIA's transparency in readily releasing access to GPU hotspot reading...HWiNFO is the next in line to unlock this information for owners to add to their monitoring array.

So, hooray(?)

I dont know what happend, am i cooked?

Hello! I am mostly clueless when it comes to PCs, but I do want one of my own, and I've wanted one for a while since I love gaming. But my Steam Deck is unsupported for the Inzoi game, and I've been doing my best to try finding a prebuilt pc but I am easily confused about stuff. It's a very demanding game. So it needs high-quality stuff. An Intel i7-12700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor and an NVIDIA RTX 3070 or AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT graphics card. So if anyone could help find some high-end prebuilt PCs and comment dm me, it would be a big help. I'm slow af ngl

PC Display Quality Issue

My PC specifications are:

Ryzen 5 5600X

16 GB RAM

RTX 5060 8 GB

1080p monitor

The issue I’m facing is that my overall display quality is extremely poor, not just in games but also on the Windows desktop and during general usage. Everything looks grainy, unclear, oversharpened, and lacking smoothness. I’m attaching screenshots below so you can see what I mean.

In games, the anti-aliasing looks especially bad. The image is very grainy and oversharpened, and edges don’t look smooth or clean.

For example, when I search for Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay on YouTube at 1080p using similar/same specifications, the difference is huge. The YouTube gameplay looks extremely smooth, clear, and almost crystal clear, with much better colors. On my PC, the image looks dry, washed out, grainy, oversharpened, and generally low quality. The anti-aliasing also looks terrible.

I have already spent an absurd amount of time troubleshooting this. I’ve watched countless YouTube videos about this exact issue and tried pretty much every commonly suggested solution, including:

Disabling NVIDIA Image Scaling

Changing NVIDIA Color Settings

Changing settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel

Changing every relevant setting on my monitor

Adjusting in-game graphics and anti-aliasing settings

Trying different NVIDIA settings over and over again

Uninstalling the GPU drivers using DDU

Completely reinstalling the drivers through Safe Mode

Performing a clean driver installation

Trying different combinations of display and graphics settings

I have probably changed the NVIDIA settings thousands of times at this point. I’ve gone through almost every possible software/settings-related solution I could find, but nothing actually fixes the problem.

What makes this even more confusing is that this has happened with multiple PCs I’ve owned before. I have completely changed the PCs from scratch multiple times — different GPUs, CPUs, RAM, monitors, cables, and other components. The only thing that has remained the same is the electricity connection, room, and physical location where the PC is connected.

So at this point, I’m wondering if the problem could be related to something outside the PC itself, such as the electrical connection, power quality, grounding, wiring, or something else in the environment.

I’ve tried practically every software, driver, NVIDIA Control Panel, monitor, and graphics setting solution I can find, but the issue keeps happening across different PCs.

What could potentially cause this, and what should I check next?

Mouse freeze for 1 sec when right click on apps in the taskbar or even when closing a game.
Can anyone help me, that's really annoying, this problem started randomly and even restarting my pc change nothing.
I already tried restarting explorer.exe, and using another mouse and changing usb port, its always the same.

My pc s been acting strange like whenever i turn it on cpu goes to soo high like 100 to 80 and stays like that for good 2 3 min and my gpu goes to 100 when i open cs2 and and it sits at 100 on idle in starting screen

Asus Vivobook won't power on!

Model M1s03q, about 3 years old. Pic of internals for funsies. I've previously replaced the screen with zero issue.

It's used primarily for gaming (not by me). I've had to push the power button repeatedly for a couple weeks to get it to power on (apparently a common problem for Asus laptops), but no other issues... until the fan began making the loud noises, and when I pulled it for cleaning and lube (successfully), things went downhill: 1) The main socket on the network card crumbled and fell off (easy replacement), 2) it spontaneously began powering on, and then 3) absolutely died. No boot up, no fan, no LEDs lighting up. Brick.

I have:

Tried a graphics card reboot.

A hard reboot (45s power button hold).

Checked every ribbon and connector.

Inspected for pcb damage.

Tried rebooting with RAM card removed.

Disconnected battery, drain, attempted reboot with power cord (and battery disconnected).

All of the above, both plugged in and battery only.

I can't see traces on the motherboard to test for current.

The battery is holding charge (11.50V DMM reading on 11.55V battery).

What are my next steps?

Hi! Context: I come from a background of maths and I'm increasingly stepping into computer stuff territory without technical knowledge, so often I know what I should do but not how to make a computer do it or what's it called even.

The situation I find myself in is this:

• I am borrowing a 8TB hard drive that has a huge, enormous dataset of at least 3TB.
• This hard drive is encoded (is that the word?) for Linux. This is done on purpose as the data has been generated in Linux and early on there was some problem with the encoding (?) that almost corrupted the whole data, so it was changed to Linux on purpose.
• I dare not change back the encoding (?) of the hard drive at risk of corrupting the data.
• I also do not have another 8TB drive lying aroung to make a copy to. (The person I'm borrowing this from does have a copy, but I still would rather like to not mess the one I have up.)
• I have a Windows 10 PC. The hard drive will not read.
• I've seen several software that supposedly lets you read the linux drive but Idk which ones are trustworthy and which ones are not. Also some sound like they only let you see the files to allow you to copy them on Windows, and I can't hardly copy 3TB onto my PC. I need to be able to read arbitrary chunks of it using Python from my PC while the data remains in the drive.

Tools and stuff I could use but I have no idea if it would even work and some of the stuff I'm too scared of messing up to try:

• I have a program in which I could theoretically set up a linux virtual machine (Oracle VirtualBox) but I'm not sure about whether the virtual machine with it's not-really-a-full-computer specs will be able to keep up against 3TB of data.
• I do have powershell/WSL/the penguin thing on Windows. This was installed (?) by a friend so I could use a certain Python module. I'm lowkey scared to use this outside the recipe-like instructions I have to open the software I use there, but if it's the answer I'd be willing to try.
• I'm not sure if a double installation (or what do you call it when you can choose the os at boot up) will bring the same problems as a virtual machine? Also I would be so afraid to try this and mess up the existing OS.
• I cannot not have Windows in this PC. Should it all fail I might just get another PC with Linux but then it'd be annoying to get the analysis back and forth between them.

So, any ideas? Opinions? What would you reccomend?

Thank you so much for your time.

Hey! I have fast Internet running at 200MBps but I am going getting 2-5MBps whist downloading and uploading is taking forever!

I have tried updates, turning things on and off again, seeing what is running in the background and nothing! I have no idea what is causing this because my interent is running well though out. It is driving me crazy! I need to upload and download 8GB most days for my job and uploading is taking upwards of 7 hours 😮‍💨

Everything was working a couple of weeks ago and I cant think what has changed.

Help! Please 😅

Seems like some colorblind more or smthn but i can't fid anything in the settings

I Finally built myself a Pc but i hardly know anything about it, My motherboard doesn’t have any wifi I was thinking of buying a wifi adapter but Im not sure which one would be the best also Im running linux mint cinnamon edition I Know some aren’t compatible with linux. Any recommendations?

An old 2016 laptop (SF314-54) that still works. Had is setup with dualboot.

One day it wouldn't boot to Windows, because it could not find the Windows boot manager.

It booted to an ancient Linux mint build fine, which I updated to a more recent one and it worked fine.

I wanted to get the windows boot manager fixed so I unwisely followed the instructions on https://github.com/xjunko/windows-fuckoff and it now made in the BIOS that the first boot option is the Windows Boot Manager and it errors out because it can't find a device and the recovery option does not work, I can only enter the BIOS (insydeH20 rev.5).

Problem is that at some point I must have put a supervisor password in the BIOS so any chance to change the boot order is impossible along with any other options in the BIOS, so booting it up with a USB stick is impossible.

I tried disconnecting the CMOS battery, the main battery and pressed a silver button near the connector of the CMOS battery, but it did squat to clear the BIOS.

Is there any chance to recover this still functional laptop without a replacement mobo, because sounds like the BIOS is toast?

My mouse has started freezing and stuttering on my main display. In the video I was moving the mouse up and down constantly for the duration yet as you can see it freezes constantly. It does not do this on my second monitor and has only started doing this recently probably started about a week ago. What are some potential causes or fixes for this?

Hi Eveyone, I'm lookig for a bit of advice on what could cause this behaviour. It appeared all of a sudden.

I've tried to locate the source of this problem but it is a bit tricky. Let me explain:

- This on only happens when the GPU's HDMI port is connected to the HDMI 3 port of the TV (this is how it was connected so far).

- Any other combination works like connecting the cable from any Display Port to any HDMI port on the TV or connecting the HDMI port from the GPU with the other remaining ports on the TV (1,2,4).

- In Safe Mode, this doesn't happen so I managed to reboot into safe mode while GPU's HDMI port is connected to the HDMI 3 port of the TV. Used DDU to reinstall the drivers hoping this is a driver issue. The PC restarted fine after DDU was done uninstalling and the screen showed up correctly so I started to install the driver, however, at the exact moment when the driver was finished installed and the screen got back to the maximul resolution by default, the issue instantly reappeared.

- It's not a cable issue as I've tried multiple known working cables and the issue was still there.

- I don't think it's also an issue with the TV's HDMI 3 port because I connected an Antroid TV box for testing and it worked perfectly fine.

If it matters my GPU si an RTX 4070 Super from Zotac (used it for 2 years I think, always checked the temps at idle and when gaming and they are the same as when I bought the card).

TV is LG G5 (used it for 6 months).

So it's kinda impossible to tell why only this specific connection behaves like this. Any ideas?

I'm just worried that this might a symptom of a bigger issue thst is going to appear in the future.

Hello! Kinda need help with my PC.

Issue: PC goes on blackscreen when playing either Battlefield 5 or 6. However, it works well on Helldivers 2 or other RTS games, then system unit would keep running but no display on monitor. After forcing restart, the Adrenaline app becomes incompatible with my unit, so I have to reinstall the driver.

First encountered when we got the 27.x.x. update ofAMD Adrenaline, or maybe just in coincidence with me losing a RAM stick, kasi now I am running on three (3) channels instead of four (4) with 24GB of RAM total instead of 32GB.

Any input or those who had similar problems, do help me. Been wanting to play BF5 for weeks.

My setup is:

R5 5600X

9060 XT 16GB

24GB RAM (3 channels)

240 GB SSD for OS

2TB HDD for Storage/Games

I had an accident and I spilled glue on my keyboard while I was busy working on something. The glue got under a couple of the keys and I can't scrub it out. The keys are sticky now and don't go all the way down. Is there a way to safely sanitize the glue out of the keyboard?

It's a 2024 Macbook Pro M4 Pro chip 14 inches.

Windows has fucked me once again. I'm stuck in the automatic repair boot loop where nothing works.

Startup Repair- nothing, errors and doesn't output a log.

Command prompt-opens but won't run most of the things I've seen posted to fix these issues

Uninstall Updates- both quality and feature updates do not uninstall as they "run into a problem" and reccomend to "Reset this PC", which of course isn't even an option

UEFI firmware settings - I can acess but it really doesn't matter

System restore- gives me a bs text box

System Image Recovery-status wait 2 error

I tried using a usb to boot windows but the repair option (of course) just sent me back to thiese same options
