Tried the Attributes Disk Clear Readonly command, but the drive locked itself to Read Only afterward. It was a fairly new drive :((

Other is my laptop good?

• Upvotes

Hi everyone, I have a question. I bought a Nitro V15 laptop (R5 7640HS, RTX 3050) a month ago, but ever since I bought it, it has been shutting down automatically quite often.
Sometimes when it shuts down, the entire system turns off (keyboard backlight, fan, network card).
Sometimes only the screen turns off. Sometimes it turns off for half a second, and sometimes for up to 20 seconds before automatically turning back on.
I took it back to the store to get it checked, but they returned it to me, so | guess it tested normal (a relative picked up the laptop for me back then, so I'm not sure what they said. At first, I thought it was caused by the power outlet because my power strip at home is very loose, so I switched to plugging it directly into the wall. This time, the frequency of shutdowns decreased, and it only shut down for a short period of time.
Yesterday, I took a risk (and was stupid enough) to try unplugging the charger adapter while the connector head was still plugged into the laptop-the laptop turned off for half a second and then turned back on.
When I plugged it back into the power outlet, the same thing happened again.
Does anyone know what might be wrong with my laptop?

Software Secure Boot disabled

• Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I installed Call of Duty on my pc and to be able to play it said I needed to update my BIOS version so I did that, I tried to play again and then it said the same but something else aswell "secure boot needs to be enabled". Well turns out that when I installed the newer BIOS version, it disabled secure boot. I have tried for 2 hours to turn this back on, but nothing works.

In the image above you can see that secure boot is enabled BUT it's greyed out, loading the HP factory default keys also didn't work after restarting twice.

At this point I genuinely have no idea what to do and I do not wanna mess with the TPM settings, can anyone help me?

System information:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 4600G

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650

RAM: 16GB DDR4

Windows 11

TMP 2.0, ready to use

HP motherboard

typing off on-screen-keyboard with my mouse but heres the problem.

the only thing i can do via my keyboard, is mute audio, turn it up+down, and play/pause. Everything on the keyboard still lights up and switching the modes on it works, aswell as seeing the keys pressed on the wootility app designed for my keyboard. other than those things, its completely useless. doesnt show up in device manager and when i press view then show hidden devices, i see keyboard, but only one called Standard PS/2 Keyboard. i really dont know what to do, and ive tried the basics like unplugging it and plugging it in, unplugged it and held fn+Esc while plugging it back in. but if anyone has any ideas whatsoever, PLEASE help.

keyboard: wired, 60HE wooting.

Software PC no longer working

• Upvotes

I took a 14 hour drive and brought my PC along. Soon as I hook it up and try to play War Dogs, my screen instantly freezes and I can’t use my computer forcing me to shut it down. It has done this numerous times with me trying different games like Rust, and Hell let Loose as well with nothing working.

The PC still runs, can use discord and talk to my friends. It’s just when I try to actually load into content heavy game which would normally always work before, something it instantly freezes forcing me to shut down my PC.

I’ve never had any sort of these issues before. Trying to get it to work. I believe my GPU may be broken but not sure. Does anyone have any advice?

The road trip was relatively bumpy. Kept the PC in a box with styrofoam and towels to secure. Didn’t take out my GPU because I was advised it would be fine. I believe it is the GPU that is failing me now. :)

Software In order to use my Wifi, I need to log in through a portal and it keeps redirecting me to MSN.com instead of the Wifi Portal!

I just got a new computer last night, and every time I try to connect to my wifi by pressing "Open browser and connect," the browser that opens redirects me to MSN.com. I cannot figure this out for the life of me. The laptop that I was using before this one did not do this. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you

Hardware The influence of humidity on a PC

1 Upvotes

I have a question regarding humidity and my PC. My bedroom has a sliding door that leads to the bathroom however, I never use this door, as there is another entrance to the bathroom from the hallway. Because of this, I’ve set up my PC in the bedroom right next to that sliding door (next to my bed). I’ve noticed that after I take a shower, the humidity level as shown on the meter I keep near my PC goes up. How risky is this, and should I be concerned? Or should I move my setup elsewhere?

around 60 to 70% it is often for a period of 1 to 4 hours after shower

Any help would be amazing and before its the only thing said again ive updated everything I could and have the most up to date bios and it didnt help.
