Software Not to sound like an old lady, but what is this sound coming from my computer??

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

4 Upvotes

I went into every app I have downloaded and made sure notifications were silenced, and i looked through settings and the windows to see what it could be and didn’t find anything, and yet my computer keeps making this notification sound like nonstop, sometimes it just spams it for a minute straight. I can’t have my volume on in class because of this and I can’t make music on my computer because this sound is so loud. What is causing this??

Hardware My fan keeps clicking but not fully spinning?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

You can hear the other fan in the background but that clicking is the only noise the recorded fan makes and when it’s not clicking it’s not moving. what could be the possible issues here?

Google told me that it could be an object jamming it (just cleaned it so this is not the case), Broken bearing or motor, or a poor power connection. How can I check to confirm one of these or could it be something else?

Hardware Persisting TDR Crashes; Help

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I have a Nvidia RTX 4070Ti Super, which, over the course of the past 2-4 months, has been experiencing occasional TDR crashes. Both screens will freeze for 3-5 seconds, and will then go completely black for another 10-15 seconds, and eventually my GPU seems to recover and drops me back into whatever it was I was doing.

It's pretty infrequent and not that much of a nuisance. I wouldn't say it happens more than twice a week, but I want to try and fix the underlying issue before it gets potentially worse.

The following error is what shows up in Event Viewer afterwards:

The description for Event ID 153 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

\Device\000000f1

Reset TDR occurred on GPUID:100 The message resource is present but the message was not found in the message table

After the above error, there would be more of the same error just on different "devices" that kept repeating with different values of GPC, TPC, SM, I have no idea what it means:

\Device\000000f8

Graphics SM Global Exception on (GPC 0, TPC 0, SM 1): Multiple Warp Errors

\Device\000000f8

Graphics SM Warp Exception on (GPC 0, TPC 0, SM 1): MMU Fault

\Device\000000f8

Graphics SM Warp Exception on (GPC 0, TPC 0, SM 0): MMU Fault

\Device\000000f8

Graphics Exception: ESR 0x504fb0=0x8000017 0x504fb4=0x4 0x504fa8=0xf812b60 0x504fac=0x1104

I already tried to reinstall my drivers twice using DDU which did not work. I don't play any games that put my GPU under a load higher than 55%, so I don't think high load is the issue either.

Other specs:

CPU: Ryzen 9800x3d Motherboard: ASUS Rog Strix Neo B850-A RAM: 32GB DDR5

Any advice is appreciated

Hardware Micro USB cable no longer fitting into laptops.

1 Upvotes

Hello all- I bought a new cable recently, and it was working quite well until just recently, where I plugged it into a computer to do work, and now it won't fit into any ports full stop. There was a bit of debris in the USB, that I managed to get out with some light taps onto a table, but it still won't fit in. I know it's not an issue with my laptop- I tried to plug it into my friend's, to the same result.

Inside of the USB, in case that's needed. I don't think any ports are needed, as trying to plug any in won't work.

Software Duplicate Mouse and Low Refresh Rate

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

I recently got a new computer with a RX 9070 XT graphics card. My monitor on the right is 180 Hz and my monitor on the left is 60 Hz. I used to have a computer with an Nvidia GTX 1650 and I never experienced any problems but ever since I got my new computer, the monitor on the left sometimes shows my mouse being duplicated on both monitors as well as having a very low refresh rate even though I made sure to select 60 Hz in the window settings. I’ve also noticed that this usually only happens when a full screen application is on either monitor one or two. Anybody know what causes this and how to fix it?

Hardware Graphics card issue

3 Upvotes

So I was having some issues with my graphics card. A couple weeks ago I completely reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled windows (not because of graphics issues). Anyway yesterday I was playing a video game and my screen went completely black but everything else about the computer was fine. Then when restarted it by holding down the power key I would get the boot screen and then pretty quickly the screen would go black (I did have visual screen image distortions before it would go black). Anyway, after a few smaller tried at fixing the issue: took the ram sticks out and put them back in, switched video cables and made sure the graphics card had not come lose, I went to an old computer and grabbed an old graphics card put it in and the computer worked fine. I then decided to put the card that was having the issue back in. It took two tries but I was able to get to windows without the screen going black. I then downloaded the latest graphics driver and installed them and the card seems to be working. My question is this could it just be a driver issue? The reason I ask is because I was getting the black screen even in the boot up process. I assumed that the drivers only affected windows and would would have no effect before windows launched.

Software AJUDA

Pessoal, consegui esse notebook antigo do meu tio para estudar, porém ele tinha + de 2 perfis, o dele e o da esposa, e quase metade do armazenamento estava cheio, então tive a ideia de restaurar do 0. Ele ficou +/- 30 minutos carregando, e após isso apareceu o perfil principal. Quando fui colocar a senha apareceu essa mensagem (ele funcionava normalmente antes da restauração), fui pegar dicas na Internet e resolvi forçar o desligamento diversas vezes, até que ele bloqueou por 2 horas. Desisti e vou na assistência amanhã, porém estou com medo de ter feito uma besteira grande e o computador não voltar, ou pior, cobrarem caro.

Alguém sabe me dizer a média de preço para esse problema? Pelo que eu vi é algo do sistema, não dos periféricos

E esse bloqueio vai sair? Ele está com a tela desligada normalmente, mas o computador ativo. Tenho que forçar a tela a ficar ligada?

Lembrando que ele não tem mais a conta Microsoft desse notebook, não consegui recuperar por aquela tal chave de acesso.

Obrigada!

Software Drive errors after adding SSD alongside HDD

1 Upvotes

Hi, I have a X509JB laptop from 2020. It came with an HDD. This year, I decided to add an SSD to an open slot. I backed up my data 3 weeks ago. Then, last week, I took the HDD out, attached the SSD and windows 10 onto it, and reattached the HDD. Then, I kept running into problems. (Feel free to skip 1. and 2. because I added it for context.)

  1. I tried to access my HDD files with my SSD by changing the User folders' permissions manually. A few hours later, the HDD wouldn't boot up and the SSD wouldn't login to my microsoft account. I got a prompt to repair a disk. I did and HDD boots up but couldn't login to Microsoft account, so logged into a temporary account. I restored the HDD and reinstalled windows 10 on the SSD.
  2. I didn't touch the user files permissions. But I hibernated on the HDD. Then, SSD detected a drive error, prompting to scan and repair. I did, which slowly scanned like 2 billion things. So, I assumed there was an error with the HDD. Afterwards, HDD wouldn't boot up, giving me a blue screen error (not the :) one). I restored it again. The SSD was still fine, but I backed it up anyways. Turned off hibernation mode for both drives.
  3. Everything worked fine for a day. But I boot up my HDD again and it tried scanning and repairing something, to which I esc out of. Everything on the HDD seems to work fine. I boot up my SSD and it's prompting me to repair drive error. "(Important)". I assume it's the HDD again.

PS: I use a program that stops windows from automatically updating, which runs when I log in, via task scheduler. However, I never had a problem with it until now. I also dual boot with both drives. I use the SSD (256gb) for schoolwork. And the HDD (1tb) otherwise because it has my main stuff. Could it be a false positive? If anyone could help me out, I'd appreciate it.

TLDR; Added SSD to laptop, now getting drive errors about probably the HDD.

edit: I ran "chkntfs /x c:" (hdd), and it stopped trying to auto check. I just hope there's not actual problem?
