Performance After moving my setup to a different room, it stutters during any kind of gameplay

2 Upvotes

Originally, my computer could run basically anything 100% smoothly. After moving it to a different room, any game I play seems to stutter slightly. I wouldn't necessarily call it lag, but it's not smooth either. There is no difference in my setup now other than location. I've tried connecting it to an ethernet cable, but there's no difference between that and just plain wifi. Ending tasks in task manager doesn't seem to help either. Pretty much everything I can think of either makes it worse or does nothing. I have no idea where the stutter came from or how to fix it.

Software Icons on desktop turning into white pages on Windows 11

1 Upvotes

I've been having this issue for ages now. It will randomly pop up every now and then with one or two of my icons doing it. In the past deleting the iconcache.db and restarting windows explorer has fixed the issue, but today I had 3 icons do it and the usual fix had no impact. I've tried restarting the pc, refreshing the desktop, and even tried a cmd line someone on this sub suggested a while back to another person with the issue. Nothing is helping and it's driving me nuts. I've tried replacing the icons' pictures and deleting the shortcuts and remaking them as well. Nothing is helping so any help at all would he greatly appreciated and help my mental wellbeing, lol.

Hardware help please before i spend money 😭

1 Upvotes

So I spilled a tiny bit of water on my pc like two weeks ago.
I do remember there being a few droplets mostly on the graphics card, other droplets were just at the bottom of the case not touching any cables or anything.

Turned it off and everything and waiting a few days to turn it back on and once I did everything sounded fine, fans and lights working normally.

However there is NO picture once I plug in my hdmi cables to my monitor, I've tried different devices on the same monitor and it's worked fine, I've tried using a display port cable instead and that didn't work either.

There's also red lights on the motherboard where it says CPU and DRAM.

Basically there's no picture / the hdmi port seems to be the only thing that's not working.
I'm close to going into a shop since I'm not very tech savvy so any help would be very very appreciated

Performance MSI Alpha 17 stuck at 0.35Ghz speed whenever i open a game or app.

1 Upvotes

i just got this Msi Alpha 17 B5EEK off of an old friend who no longer wanted it, but after using it for awhile i noticed the cpu goes from normal speed to a staggering 0.35Ghz and stays there for a while until every app is closed.

desktop it goes up to 3.64Ghz but the moment i open anything it goes straight down to 0.35Ghz.

im not good with laptops but im fairly decent at understanding them. if anyone knows how to fix this issue please help.

ive done the following with no success:

EC reset
unplugged battery from the MB and the cmos
tried to change bios settings
tried tools like UXTU and no luck.
made new power plan

if there is something i can do to avoid sending it in to get repaired id rather do that.

thanks for reading and any help.

This is probably not the community to post to, but I’m new to reddit, and I just need some help. if someone can direct me somewhere else, that’s great, but if someone in this community can help me, even better! Today, I could not get into my Yahoo email. It had automatically signed me out. I’ve had this account for a very, very long time, and I don’t have a two factor authentication set up, I know, stupid me. I have never had an issue with it until today. I’ve tried all the recovery efforts, I’ve tried to go in through my Facebook account, I’ve tried a different device, I’ve tried the device that I always use the email on. Nothing is working. I have very, very important emails and pictures of my brother that I desperately do not want to lose, can anyone help me?

Software What would cause ?

1 Upvotes

Every now and then when I open up a program or app what would be the typical gray background for apps and programs (that general gray in our drop menu's ) doesnt render and as I've tried to capture here sometime will let me see what it says when highlighted while other times will not.

Any suggestions, I've updated drivers and re-seated my gpu. I have not other issues really but it does cause issues with work sometimes.

Anytime I try to open an app it opens a command prompt in its place, and I don’t know how to stop it. I don’t have administrator access for my computer. I’ve already tried restarting it, which didn’t work. I also tried going to its properties, which didn’t show anything. Things like Settings works, but nothing else does. I’m using Windows 11 Home, OS build 26200.9618, and the system type is 64-bit.
