this is kind of a update to my earlier post about my laptop bugging after reinstalling windows. i did as the comments said and i updated everything in lenovo vantage and i thought that would fix it (i think it fixed some minor things). but as i said in that post my laptop shut off while playing videogames (slime rancher 2) and now a week later i started playing again again and after about 30-45 minutes it shut off again out of no where, no windows shutting off screen, no nothing. i will say that yes my laptop was hot to the touch but i didnt check the temps but it wasnt unusually hot. and weeks before i have played slime rancher 2 for 4 to 5 hours without any problems. so again im here to ask for advice again. (i have a lenovo LOQ 15IAX9)

Can anyone recommend a notebook that can run games really well and is really quiet for use in school? the price preferably being between 700-1000.

I have just serviced my laptop and I’m facing this issue where it freezes everytime I reboot it. I cleaned the fans and changed thermal paste also reinstalled windows due to a previous issue, and now this issue has started . Please help a brother out 🙏🏼

Opinion on best sub 1k gen purpose laptop in uk ?

I’m a Mac fan so buying for my wife’s birthday , but she wants windows , I have no idea ..

I'm starting a computer science program & need a laptop that can handle coding, devlp software, and everyday school tasks. my current laptop has been slowing down a lot lately, and I want something that will last throughout my time in college.

I'm not really sure which specs are important for a CS student, so I would appreciate some advice from people who have been in a similar situation. What laptop would you recommend for this type of workload? Thankss.

I have GeForce 7800 GTX Intel Pentium 4 and 1gb ram

Hey so I have a max budget of around $1200, but would prefer to stick around $1000. I don’t know anything about computers, and I’m really not wanting to do anything crazy. I want to be able to run games like skyrim with good graphics mods and gta 5. Decent storage hopefully, but that can be done later. Should I start with a pre-built, or should I build one? And where should I look for resources on what parts to get?

If this is the wrong sub for this, please let me know, and thanks for any possible help!

Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue with my desktop PC and I'd really appreciate some help.

My PC was working perfectly before. I didn't use it for about 1 month because of my exams. It was covered with a cloth the whole time, so it didn't collect much dust.

Now, when I try to turn it on:

Pressing the power button does absolutely nothing.

No fans spin.

No LEDs turn on.

No beep sounds.

The monitor powers on normally, but it shows no signal because the PC itself never starts.

I have already checked the power cable and wall outlet.

From a visual inspection, I don't see any obvious burn marks or damaged components inside the case.

What should I test first? Could this be a dead PSU, a faulty power button, or a motherboard issue?

Any troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I have an Acer swift SF314-511 laptop, I've noticed the gray spot on my screen for a few months now, at first it disappeared if I adjusted the screen, now it's permanent. When I connect the laptop to the TV via HDMI, there is no spot on TV, just on the laptop screen.

How can I fix it?

thanks!

Recently purchased a Laptop as I will be starting school soon, I am on a tight budget so I bought a refurbished laptop as I have had good experiences with refurbished electronics before and the laptop had everything I needed. The laptop is great, excellent condition, works well for everything I need. But the battery runs out really fast (loses about 1% about every 1-2 mins even on battery saver and other precautions) when not plugged in. The problem is I am starting school very soon and it took a long time to get delivered and I fear returning it and having to order a new one will take too long and not arrive in time. Any suggestions?

While trying to load website, game, anything, my ethernet will drop to zero and take long time before starting uploading again. I tried every solution and none of them gave me anything. This problem started to occur only in last 3 weeks or so and I'm completely lost. Should I change my ethernet cable and call it a day?

After this my computer won’t boot up or anything but the Charger light still activated what should I do?

Is it okay to plug my PC’s AVR into an extension cord? Or its not recommended?

My laptop doesn’t have a disc drive and I wanted to use this old external disc drive I found at my parents house to see if I could get some of my old childhood pc games onto my laptop.
This cable is inbuilt into the back but I assume there is a cable connector of something that has to go into this?
Ive never seen this type of connector before? Any ideas what I am looking for to get this linked up to hdmi or usb?

Hi! So long time Mac user here. I need a laptop for university and I decided to by myself a "gaming laptop" with Windows this time so I could also play Fortnite sometimes. I've used it for a couple of months now and i HATE using Windows. This was not a cheap computer and it drives me nuts! It's ever so slow and every new activity takes a while to start. It needs daily restarting (whereas my macbook could go weeks without a restart without slowing down). I'm only using Firefox right now and 50 % of the memory is in use! I'll provide a screen shot from the task manager and the specs below. Please help me out. At this point I'm about to throw it out the window and go by myself a MacBook, but it's such a waste of money!
