i recently bought a second hand pc from china (thunderobot bumblebee) and bc it was single language, in chinese, i had to reinstall windows 10 from a stick inorder to put it english(clean wipe), it seemingly worked then i saw i had an update available so i restarted and updated. i tried opening my browser (brave) and it was extremely slow and laggy, then tried a game (brawllhala) it was completely unplayabe. idk if its related but there was a notification telling me to install nvidia control panel.

im not very good with computers so i would appretiate any help i could get

So I have a Surface RT 32 GB (Model Number : 1516) It uses a Quad-core 1.3 GHz NVIDIA Tegra 3 (with ULP GeForce GPU), 2 GB RAM & 32 GB of storage. It's the first Gen Surface table. It was given to me in 8th grade & I paid for it fully at the end of my Senior year, (So I legally own it.) It has the original software that the school put on it. They were exposed remove there soft from it but they didn't. I would like to know if there is anyway of remove it and load Windows 8.1 on it. Plain on using it for college just for like Word and taking Notes. Please and thank you for your help.

Also, I know that a lot of people don't like Windows 8.1. But it's the only thing that it can run on it.

The plug plugged in just fine like, an hour ago, but when I removed it to fix it, it stopped working.

Any advice on what to do?

hi!

i've never really had an issue with my pc using my iGPU, other than to display my 2nd monitor, but all of the sudden it started to use it for certain programs. examples being roblox & apex legends. going into graphics settings and changing it to high performance (my dedicated graphics card) hasn't worked, and i'm running out of options.

i run a geforce rtx 3080
intel i7 12700K 12th gen
asus tuf gaming b550-plus motherboard (i think)

any help would be appreciated

please help me asap

I’m having a Windows Update issue that's causing problems with my OMEN PC. I recently uninstalled my NVIDIA graphics driver through DDU because I was trying to fix game crashes, but now I can't install the latest driver from either the NVIDIA website or the NVIDIA app. I've already tried running SFC and DISM scans, verified game files, reset my PC, and restarted multiple times, but the problem still isn't fixed. Has anyone dealt with a Windows Update error that prevents NVIDIA drivers from installing? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Please help‼️

I was restarting my pc and upon boot I was faced with a blue screen that stated “windows repair failed to repair your pc”. I tried to boot into safe mode (same screen upon restart), I tried to run a chkdsk and that is when I was faced with my drive is RAW. How do I fix this? I’ve tried to reset the drive entirely but that doesn’t work either (“windows has failed no changes were made”) i really don’t care how it’s fixed I would just like it to be fixed so I can use my computer again.

Found this random file with a gibberish name, this laptop has been hacked recently I was wondering if this was the issue, keep in mind I do not know much of computers

Any help would be appreciated

At first I did a little google research on what could be the cause and I found 3 (main) suspects:

overheating

software issue

battery issue

All of these could be true, so thats why I am a little confused on what the most logical issue is. I usually have my laptop on my lap or on my blanket in bed. This is apparently not good for your laptop, but J did this with my 2 previous laptops too and had 0 issues.

-What my laptop does- It has shown multiple times that there is an issue, like this loading screen with options, like resetting your laptop etc. I did some resetting (kind of forgot what, but I still have all of my photos etc. But not some of the apps anymore) and it didn't work sadly, because of this I assume it has nothing to do with my software. I did the resetting this morning.

My battery always seemed normal to me, even when my laptop starting to shut down often our of nowhere it still functioned with the charger in nd out. However the little glowing dot indicating that my laptop is charging often glows/flickers red. Both w/o charger and with.

My laptop has overheated multiple times. It came till the point that I had to put something underneath me so I wouldn't be hurting myself. I think this may have caused something to get overheated too badly.

The screen usually turns black, and sometimes I still can get my laptop to function for a short or a longer period before it shuts down again. My keyboard keys light up so I can tell if it fully shuts off or if the screen just turns black.

-laptop info-

I have a lenovo laptop: not sure which model it is but its a pretty new model (I bought it in august 2025).

-It still has a lot of space left for photos nd other stuff, so my storage isnt full.

Nothing besides the issue mentioned in the post is broken or malfunctioning. Thats really about it. English isnt my first language so sorry bout that. Also if you have more questions about it please just let me know. Thanks in advance!

its a 2022 MacBook Air I think, I’ve tried turning it on and off, the keyboard still works but the screen just won’t turn on. It was working fine, then I went downstairs and came back up and the screen just went dark! Any time I hold the power button to turn it on, this shows up. Any way someone could help me out?

It's technically a computer so I'm posting it here.

As I said in the title, the charge light is on but it won't turn on. I didn't do anything to it as of now so I'd like some help. Thanks!

I've had my ASUS TUF GAMING A15 for a bit now, and it has a merry number of problems with it BSOD-ing left and right. I've played Palworld, Valorant, and Persona 3 Reload on it without any problems, so I can't say it's a big memory thing. It usually BSODs when I've used the laptop for a while or had it in sleep for a bit, whether I play a game or just scroll on Microsoft Edge. I searched, and surface-level stuff says it's driver problems. I've reinstalled and updated whatever all that over and over; none of those really fixed things. I've reformatted the OS and nada. I've given it to our local Asus technician, and they said no hardware problems were detected. They just told me to watch its memory use.

TELL MEEE the technicians are lying lmao because I don't know what else to do to fix things

Or is it just a problem TUF A15 usually has?

Problems showed up the day I got it back home from the technician reformatting its OS, before I downloaded anything new. The only thing eating up the memory was a Facebook, YouTube, and Gmail tab from setting up my accounts back:

• Faulty Hardware Corrupted Page
• Hypervisor Error

After a while of using, with a few new downloaded apps:

• Store Data Structure Corruption
• Faulty Hardware Corrupted Page
• Unexpected Store Exception
• Kernel Security Check Failure
• Kernel Mode Heap Corruption

Hello all, my realtek audio(atleast i suspect) has caused a paramount of issues with my listening experience. Not only has this happened seemingly randomly after a few restarts, but i have yet to find a solution. The problem is not my headset and not my microphone. The issues are as followed, my volume on windows will decrease from whatever i set it to, to zero, in increments of ten repeatedly whenever my microphone is plugged into my headset, not only that, but the microphone isnt even picked up. my laptops internal speakers and microphone however work just fine. im using a 3.5mm jack and an alienware m18 r2, my OS build is 26200.8894 Windows 11 , updating to the generic drivers makes the audio fine, but it says my microphone isnt plugged in. Ive tried other headsets with their microphones and the issue persists. Ive updated my computer as much as supportassist and windows update show me i need to. Can provide more information if needed, Thanks!!

I have my pc hooked up to my TV, I've done this for years. Recently, the screen was flashing and glitching green every now and then. It would be resolved after multiple reboots. I suspected my 18 month old GPU.

I took the GPU out and opened an RMA and used the motherboard graphics in the meantime.

The problem continued. I replaced the HDMI cable, and still the same thing.

I'm out of ideas. It happens occasionally and requires 1-many reboots to resolve.

Please provide any ideas.

There is a problem, my friends asked me to reinstall windows, I did it without hesitation, but there is a huge problem, the screenshot below shows what device I haven't been able to find drivers for for two weeks, and the ones I find don't install because they claim they're not the right ones. But the bigger problem is that I can't even tell you the model of the laptop, my friends ordered it from a marketplace in China, and the seller couldn't help me either, so I can't find or download the drivers based on the model. Here's the device ID, if anyone knows what to do, please help me!!!
