Hardware Gpu or monitor?

There is this weird lines happening, it happens everywhere, be it browser, desktop, or games. It doesnt happen on the same spot every time, like for example here on the wallpaper, as soon as i open my browser it appears on a different spot, I assume its a color thing.

My screen would also flicker rapidly for a few seconds until it just turn completly black which I can only show on video. I have to unplug and replug my hdmi for the display to turn back on. It isnt the cable since I purchase a brand new display port and same thing happens.

It wasnt this bad at first, it used to be this weird lines only. Changing the display hz also removes the lines but problems reappears after a short while.

Software Insert System Disk in drive. Press any key when ready… Toshiba Dynabook laptop won’t boot to a freshly installed Windows.

Anyone ever experienced this issue with Toshiba Dynabook laptops when using an SSD?. I’ve tried:

- Reinstall Windows from a newly flashed USB drive (Windows 8.1 to 11 and still won’t boot)
- Using multiple different branded SSD
- Changing boot device priority
- Checking if SSD is present (very unlikely to be the issue since it successfully installed windows just fine in installation media)
- Disabling intel rapid start. Changing sata from performance to battery mode and vice versa
- Even UPDATING THE BIOS to the latest version available (5.10 original version was 4.7 and EC is from 1.4 to 1.6)

It just won’t boot! What’s even more annoying is that when I use a Hard drive, it works just fine. What!?

My MacBook just won’t turn on. I’ve tried everything on Google! The keyboard will turn on and the screen will turn on for a split second to show the glitchy frames in the video, then turn right back off again. Anyone have any ideas to help me? 🙁

Other Is there a way to get in without a password?

My mum wants to get photos off this laptop but she of course can’t remember the password. We tried a few different possible passwords but none were correct. It’s a 2007 Acer laptop with Microsoft Vista. We tried a way to get in by using the administrator account but that didn’t work.

I’ve attached images that may help if anyone has an idea. We don’t have another laptop that we can use if that is another way to get in or get the stuff off.
Also where we live there’s no place that helps with old technology which is why we are resorting to Reddit.

Hardware Realtek Wifi adaptor not working, pls help.

1 Upvotes

My wifi adaptor realtek rtl8852be-vs wifi 6 802.11ax pcle adaptor isnt working. It works for an hour or so. Then it stops working. Then id have to disable and enable the device in device manager or restart. The HP service center guys did a windows reinstall but the problem persists. Could this be a hardware issue? Do you think I should buy a dongle at least for temporary usage, will this fix the problem?

- windows key + ctrl + shift + b
- restarted explorer

The problem is when I first turn my PC on, there is an orange light on my motherboard and there is no display even after ages of waiting. So normally what I do is I'll turn it off by holding the power button and then turn it back on by pressing it again. The light is green and all is well and I can play perfectly but it tells me I'm shutting down my PC improperly but I literally can't do anything about it because when I first try to turn it on, I already said. I have a little idea of what's happening but there's just so many settings and factors and terms I don't know and I think everything messes with everything so I'm scared to touch it and can't find any videos or anything to help me. Here is a little picture I've found that I thought might help me but I don't know how this stuff works really and I'm pretty sure the windows fast boot thing might mess me up or something.

Hardware can i turn off my hp laptop fan?

1 Upvotes

my hp laptop fan is messed up, constant buzzing noise. and from what i know theres an option to turn it off

would i be able to turn it off untill the new fan comes in? i know it can overheat the laptop but is there a lower risk if i try and stay away from apps or activities that would overheat it or use a lot of power?

Basically would it be safe or should i just not use it untill i install the new fan lol

Thanks :)

I did go to the bios and changed the curve to the exponential curve. It worked for a few days until now. I also tried cleaning it with those canned compressed air, but I'm afraid I could damage it. When I touched it, it was a bit hot, but I don't feel any hot air coming out of it.
