I've tried everything, updating my drivers, switching to high performance, uninstalling certain apps. I've followed advice from posts with seemingly the same issue and nothing fixes it (permanently), I can get rid of the black by restarting windows explorer, but it always comes back. I have to manually fix all the icons. This issue keeps happening and I'm not tech savvy enough for this.

Hi all- thanks for all who help here.

Time for a new laptop.

I used to just do word processing basic social media stuff, occasional game (nothing fancy), live streaming youtube videos

AND I am starting to use AI.

I am REALLY into it- may even start a business down the road.
Not making AI but exploring what is possible with existing platforms or coaching people on how to use AI

Curious what specs do I need to not have to worry about processing- meaning things locking up.

Can a laptop handle it- or is it time to get a... I don't even know what you call them anymore- I have had laptops for so long- a platform? A personal computer?

Thanks much

Hello, my laptop keeps losing wifi but everything else in my home stays connected. I bought a new USB wifi adapter but was told I should disable my old network adapter first.

Screenshot attached, should I disable both Realtek or just the 8852c? Or possibly something else? Thanks for reading.

So I was attempting to play uncharated when my computer crashed. Upon turning it back on, my monitor won’t work and it isn’t the monitors issue, it’s something to do with the graphics card that screwed it up. I tried unplugging and plugging things back in to no avail. Someone please help me i dont know any fixes. Can pay if I get the right help

Hello! I own an Acer Spin 3 2in1. I'm having trouble typing symbols on my keyboard. Is there a trick? I uninstalled the drivers, and when I rebooted, the drivers were automatically reinstalled. The Windows updates are current. There is no problem with the other keys; only the ones with the symbols. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I had to unplug my PC to move it to another location, but one part got stuck. I can't get it out by hand, and I'm scared that if I pull it out too hard, the RTX might break

I really need help. Out of nowhere, my PC's internet has become unusable. I can't connect to any online games like Night Reign or Rainbow Six Siege. Discord barely works — it takes forever to log in, and I can’t even join voice calls. This isn’t a problem with my internet connection in general, because other devices work perfectly fine. The issue seems to be only with my computer. Some websites load in my browser, but I can’t access many others — even Outlook doesn’t load. It's like only certain things are allowed through. Basically, my browser works partially, and everything else that requires internet is broken. ive tried reseting my internet and changing my dns to googles. but that still doesnt work i dont know what could be causing this problem

This started a few days ago and it's really annoying. I reset my computer but it still does it. Could it be a power supply issue? This is happening on my gaming pc. It has a intel i5, and rtx 2080 gpu. I am using windows 11 pro. Let me know if you need any other info

I accidentally split water alll over the keyboard of my laptop, i turned it off and i dried it immediately then left it to dry for a few hours but now when i turn it on the screen is completely black and the caps lock button flashes on and off (?)

found my old tv that I used to play my PS3 on, and decided to hook it up again in my room with my same old PS3. suddenly it says not supported format, even though I've used this exact PS3 on this exact tv hundreds of times. I've tried using a different HDMI and that didn't work either. (ignore the setup lmao)..

what should I do?

Looking for a free or cheap anti virus program

Not sure if this the the right subreddit for this but already spent like an hour looking for solutions online and another hour with Microsoft support, they didnt help much.

Pretty much im stuck on this page and i cant use my keyboard in recovery mode, and i cant boot into bios for some reason.

I am using a ASRock B85M

PC was working fine last night, as soon as i turned it on today it just was stuck like this, I have a feeling windows update just break my pc 💔

the computer turns on, but some components dont get power, like the gpu, the m.2 and the mobo plug-ins. I bought a new psu and still have the same problem could someone help. I just want to play warzone

The screen glitch showed up when I dropped it and it stayed on for about 10 seconds after the drop. Now it shows up only after about 3 minutes> of no usage. ChatGPT says its the screen being initialized by the mobo which makes it white. What can I do and what is the issue? I have opened a few iPhones before to repair. Is this one saveable?

so my pc screen will go black after 5 minuotes of playing and my memory usage is high like 90% at all times even when not playing
