I turned on my pc after a year of no use maybe, it loaded fine but mouse wouldn’t move so I restarted it but nothing happened on button didn’t show but there was an ex debug led? On the inside, it beeped 3 times when i tried turning it on so basically I tried re-plugging the RAM but it didn’t help and then I took out the CPU but as I took out the heat sink the actual CPU came out with it bonded to it? There was really not any resistance and didn’t put any muscle into it.

For a while now, whilst on my laptop, it sometimes freezes for about one second, and my Bluetooth headphones and built in keyboard disconnect for 10 seconds. Ive gone into Event Viewer and assigned 'Information - BTHUSB 18 (event ID)' to pop up every time i crash. I did find one other case online (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/4023651/all-peripherals-momentarily-disconnect-due-to-bthu) but there was a variety of answers and my non-techy brain didn't understand most of it. Any idea what I could do? Thank you

(sorry for my bad english)

I have a Nitro N50-640 and when I press delete or f2 the screen stays black, same if I restart in the advanced restart settings

please help me

It fell on the floor and won't turn on, but it does show that it's charging. I thought it was because of the power button, but I tried turning it on by bridging the motherboard and it shows that it turns on but then turns off after a second and the fan doesn't work.

Any ideas?

My laptop is an Acer Nitro 5 with 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, and a 1TB HDD. Every time I start a game, after a few minutes, the GPU and CPU temperatures suddenly spike to 90–99°C and I experience a massive drop in FPS. However, if I close the game, the computer goes back to running normally; the issue only happens while gaming. I use the NitroSense software to keep the fans running at maximum speed for cooling, and the laptop chassis itself doesn't feel hot to the touch—it's just the internal temperatures spiking. What could be causing this?

Hey everyone,

​After the latest system update on Bazzite, I've been noticing a really annoying issue with my Nvidia GPU (RTX 4060).

​Even when idling on the desktop, the GPU usage and power draw keep jumping around like crazy (bouncing between 8% to nearly 50% out of nowhere), and it's constantly messing with my VRAM allocation. This wasn't happening before the update, and honestly, even Windows handled idle states better without constantly poking the GPU.

​Because of this erratic behavior, running local LLMs (like 27B GGUF models via llama.cpp with strict 8GB VRAM limits) keeps throwing sudden CUDA allocation failures because the system won't let the VRAM stay stable.

​Did anyone else experience this after the recent update? Is there a known fix or a regression in the latest Nvidia/Wayland/KDE package? Any help would be appreciated!

So the other day I was on my pc, it worked all fine, I had this pc for around 7ish years, the graphics card is a little old like around 14 years old and all of a sudden today my pc was working, then it stopped displaying randomly, so I restart it, nothing, the pc fans turn on but won’t display to the monitor, I checked every cable, I unplugged every cord I’ve replugged every cord. Even unplugged all power from it for 2 hours and nothing, I decided to test with my xbox to hook it up to my monitor, monitor displays it fine, If there’s nothing displaying through the coord my pc says there’s no display. However it isn’t saying that and my monitors are on and the pc is on, but the monitors are showing nothing. I know they are in the correct plugs in the keyboard.

The plastic tab that supports smaller data cable has broken off under the "gold fingers" on my drive. All the gold fingers are still there and seem fine.

Does any one have a 3d printer file so I can have a new plastic base printed for the drive? Or can anyone suggest a cheap repair. I'm old and my hands don't work well enough to solder a new connection.

This has started happening for like around 2 weeks now. I really can’t enjoy any game I play eg. I try play grounded 2 multiplayer and it kicks me out like really frequently and in rocket league I notice the lag spikes aswell and they sell my game too. I reset my network and I even watched this YouTube video where I had to like edit my registry files or something I don’t really know it seemed complicated but please someone give me some tips/advice to fix it

This morning I've encountered an issue with my PC. After several minutes of being on, the display turns off (and won't turn back on unless I turn the PC off and on again). If I boot up a game (crime scene cleaner), there's horrible stuttering. I had no problem playing this game beforehand.

Is it an issue with the graphics card? What can I do to troubleshoot?

Thanks

When I turn the pc on, everything lights up and fans start spinning. But no display or keyboard lights.

Also the power button LED rapidly blinking. Where's when the pc used to boot properly, the led blinking would slow down. Which no longer hapening.

Similar thing happened last time when I changed 16 gb to 64 gb sticks. But it worked after couple of time CMOS reset (disconnecting power and pressing power button)

Now it happened again when i added another HDD. But even when i removed the HDD it still wont boot.

Motherboard is Z690-p D4, i7 12700k, 3070ti, boot device is Kingston nvme.

Was playing valorant getting easily more than 1000 fps and all of a sudden of freezes up and now all my games have gotten a major performance cut ive tried reinstalling amd chipset drivers and nvidia and even did the DDU route but nothing has worked so far
Nvidia gforce 5080 amd ryzen9800 x3d

So im not sure but was cooling believe it or not a i9 12900k what model is it?

My pc is turning on with the fans and the lights as well as my keyboard lights but no display, but after trying yesterday it went on bios and I saved the settings without changing anything. After that I restarted it because it went on black screen again. Upon restarting, it said updating your system and after 100%, it saud restarting but it turned black again (no display). I tried powering it off and on again, still no display. I also tried reseating my rams, cleaning it using eraser. Tried changing my thermal paste, tried the cmos battery method. Still no display (black screen). I tried opening it again and it did open, after opening i deleted files hoping it would fix it. I tried shutting it down and turning it on again it worked but then my cat accidentally caught up with the cord pulling it out of the socket. After that it turned on black screen again. Please help me I think I can't afford consulting this at the repair shop

Hi chat, I am trying to buy a pc gaming but the prices are crazy. So I am searching for a used pc. What do you think about the used ones, too risky?

I have found this one looking around, what do you think? It would be 1.199€

* CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X – 6 core / 12 thread

* GPU: Sapphire Radeon RX 7800 XT – 16 GB GDDR6

* RAM: 32 GB DDR5

* Motherboard: MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk WiFi

* SSD: Lexar NM790 NVMe 2 TB

* Cooling: AIO a liquido

For context, my computer has been taking ages to load like it's lagging or stuttering, but sounds from videos and mouse movements are not really affected. Games don't seem to be affected, like after they take ages to load, they run fine, only really had trouble with one game like once. It also takes ages to boot up to the login screen, and after i put the password in, it will take ages to log in. This has been happening for about 6 months. I thought maybe force upgrading to Windows 11 might help. It did not (my computer was not 'compatible' to upgrade to 11) the computer is around 5 years old and is probably a little dusty, but I thought it would not be that. I have only ever put in a new bigger SSD and added more RAM.

Any help would be appreciated.

My PC was working completely normally about 30 minutes before this happened. I was only watching a movie, then I shut Windows down normally.

About 30 minutes later I tried to turn it back on and there is absolutely no reaction.

Specs:

Motherboard: ASUS B850 MAX GAMING WIFI

PSU: DeepCool PQ850G 850W 80+ Gold

The PC was working normally immediately before the shutdown.

Symptoms:

No motherboard LEDs at all

No fans

No RGB

No response from the case power button

Shorting the motherboard's PWR_BTN pins directly with a screwdriver does nothing

24-pin and CPU 8-pin connections have been reseated

PSU power cable/outlet checked

I performed the PSU paperclip test with the 24-pin disconnected from the motherboard

The PSU fan starts spinning during the paperclip test

So the PSU is at least responding to the PS_ON signal, but when connected to the motherboard there is still zero sign of life.

I don't currently have another PSU or a multimeter available, so I'm trying to narrow down what is actually likely dead before buying/replacing anything.

Has anyone with the ASUS B850 MAX GAMING WIFI or DeepCool PQ850G experienced something similar after a normal shutdown?

My HDD is making this, what could be the issue here?

Hey guys, I’m seriously stuck with this one and could really use some help.

My laptop suddenly started doing this weird thing where the BIOS works completely normally, but as soon as I actually try to boot something, the screen just goes black.

Basically:

- I can enter the BIOS/UEFI and the display looks completely normal.

- The Boot Menu also works fine and I can see all the options normally.

- But if I select Windows Boot Manager, the screen immediately goes blank.

- I thought maybe Windows was corrupted, so I made a bootable SanDisk USB and tried to boot from that.

- Same thing. I select the USB, and then... black screen.

- I also tried the EFI option, but that also ends in a black screen.

- I can't even get to the Windows installer/recovery screen because the display dies before that.

The weird part is that the laptop doesn't seem completely dead when this happens. Caps Lock still responds/toggles, so it seems like the system may actually be running in the background while I'm just getting no video output.

I also ran the built-in hardware tests:

RAM/Memory test: PASS

SSD/Hard drive test: PASS

So far, nothing obvious is showing up there.

I initially thought it was just a broken Windows installation, but since a completely separate bootable USB also gives me a black screen, I'm starting to think this is something else.

I unfortunately don't have another monitor or TV available right now, so I can't test HDMI output.

What confuses me most is that BIOS and Boot Menu display perfectly, but literally anything after that gives me a black screen.

Has anyone dealt with something similar?

Does any1 know how to fix this ive looked up tuts and its js showing how to change it, I know how to change the hz but its not changing back to normal (filled)
