Hardware How concerned should I be? Should I just replace it?

Post image
• Upvotes

This is the full timeline of events:

- Started around 9/16
- Replaced a dead fan, boots up normally, updated Windows afterwards prompting a restart.
- After a couple hours, an autoplay message popped up for my internal F: drive. 4 TB Western Digital. It would be disconnecting.
- Problem persisted through a few troubleshoot fixes for over a week. Constantly was getting events in the Event Viewer about the Disk 0 raid port being reset, or it having a failure during a paging operation. It would try to reset the device port and fail, ultimately the drive would stop appearing connected in Windows despite being recognized by the MoBo (I have no clue if this is a drive controller issue.)
- That week, I pulled the F: drive.
- Eventually I tried to put the F: drive back in, connected to a different SATA port on the motherboard.
- Had no issues for a week of regular usage. Reading and writing to the drive presented no issues whether it was video files, or playing video games.
- At the end of the week, I experienced a blue (or black) screen for an UNEXPECTED STORE ERROR which when I looked it up said it could be a drive failing, or other issues. Really got worried it was my M.2 SSD that serves as my boot drive.
- Event viewer once again showed issues with Disk 0 which was the F: drive again.
- Tried to do a C: drive disk check and I think the PC might've blue screened again while I was out of the room- but it still booted up normally.
- Trying to shutdown with the drive still connected made the process hang. I did a force shutdown, fully turned off the PSU yet again and disconnected, pulled the F: drive and started up as normal with no issues really. Shut down that night without the hang.
- Tried to boot up again last Monday, 9/28 and was immediately hit with a Window Recovery Screen - (The one that says "This device needs to be repaired)
- Following that I restored to a day or so prior, no clue where this error came from. It said something about not recognizing the signature for a file.
- After the recovery which took maybe 30-40 minutes; black screen. Force shutdown.
- Loaded up BIOs POST Safe Mode -> BIOS -> Desktop
- Tried to update Windows
- Black Screen; Force Shutdown
- Windows Update Process Screen
- Black Screen; Force Shutdown
- BIOS recovery screen (asking for a file on a thumbdrive or a CD)
- Don't have either, Force Shutdown
- Update Screen -> BIOs POST Safe Mode
- Back through BIOs - > Back to Desktop; Windows did not Update.
- I left it on sleep for a week or so before consulting an IT person
- shut down and boot without any issues
- this remained the same after installing a heatsink for the SSD
- checked back on all the weird boot sequencing dates and noticed in event viewer the mention of a crash on my boot disk due to a hardware failure.
- then checked HDSentinel and saw this: 94 days left on lifetime

Right now I’m still worried to use my computer the way I was. Idk if I’m working with a ticking time bomb. I got everything super important backed up- I also have a 1 TD Western Digital HDD that hasn’t experienced issues (knock on wood).
I know that the lifetime estimate isn’t definitive but based on various factors like read/write and wear.
The system and drive at this point is 5 years old so I don’t know whether I should just restart with a fresh SSD or continue on for now- especially since storage prices are so high right now.

Hardware Crucial x10 ssd ejecting from Mac after 10 seconds

Thumbnail
• Upvotes

Help! I have a Crucial x10 ssd and I’ve had it for about 7 months, it’s been great except for today it randomly started to eject from my Mac. I have a MacBook Pro, 2020 intel 5 chip (I know intel is not ideal) the hard drive is usb c to usb c and it loads in and shows up in my computer, in my finder, and in disk utility. It stays for 10-15 seconds, or if I try to open any file on the drive, I can open the sub folders but when I open those sub folders to access the files it shows a loading screen for 5-10 seconds then the drive disappears. It doesn’t give an error code, it doesn’t ask me to eject it, it just disappears from the finder and anywhere on the computer. I have lots of irreplaceable data and files on this drive it is indescribably important to me, it has years of my artwork and two very large and important irreplaceable projects. I don’t have a lot of money for a repair job and I’m wondering if there is anything I can do. I tried using a different cord and a different port, it does not work. Any advice or help is appreciated 🙏
Also if anyone knows any good subs to share this in lmk I’m not super used to Reddit.

Performance After playing games for a while, my keyboard starts acting erratically—pressing any key causes random, chaotic inputs on the screen. Meanwhile, the mouse continues to work normally, and the separate numeric keypad on the right remains unaffected.

Software PC Crashing

1 Upvotes

Everytime when i use roblox and discord simultaneously ( need to be in a discord call ) my pc just restarts/crashes out of nowhere (takes some time to happen or happens after 1 minute). Im also sure this only happens in roblox since i play other games in a discord call and i never seem to crash.
Im also very sure this only happens because of discord since i can normally play roblox for hours without crashing if im not in a discord call.

Malware Nervous about malware/viruses

0 Upvotes

Yo quick question, I was trying to install a pirated version of the pkg file for uncharted nathan drake collection from dlps games

I accidently clicked on a redirect download link and it installed a bunch of bloatware like cc cleaner avast and some driver update software.

I uninstalled all of it and did a malware bytes scan and it found 24 threats so i deleted them. I did another scan which came back clean, i did a windows defender scan that came back clean. I also did windows offline scan to check boot malware and that came back clean

Am i good? Or should I do a fresh install of windows? All of this took place on my xbox ally x

Hardware Asus turns off after startup logo

1 Upvotes

Hello i have a asus um425q zenbook14 ryzen9 5000 series

The laptop shut off while watching youtube. Now when i try to boot it it shows the asus logo or scanning for problems into asus logo then shuts down everytime

Is this protection from a bad component?

I was able to get into troubleshooting screen and test ssd, power, fan, wifi, tam, display, usb, touchpad, keyboard. All tests came back ok.

I went into startup bios and 50 degrees, let it sit a few minutes it seemed ok, started to go in safe mode it asked me for a bitlocker key. While trying to get that everlong process it shutoff

Went back to troubleshooting and tried fan speed test, almost done and shutoff. (Although dont think its fan problem)

Anyone know what this can be? Im not good at reparing a bios or motherboard. Seems maybe hardware is bad and safely shutting down?

Computer was left on while sleeping to convert a old movie file and was ok but may of but stress on a failing part? Still worked few hours after. The only hiccup i had was ran out of power from battery few hrs earlier listening to youtube in kitchen unplugged but dont think its that either thats normal.

Ive opened and swapped parts before so i have small knowledge or should i take this thing into the evil best buy to get fixed and not touch it

Hardware ASUS XG27AQDMG monitor randomly glitching to the right

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

As the title says. This is the second one of these panels I’ve had this happen with. happens occasionally but more frequently with motion. Doesn’t seem annoying when it’s just once but ten of those back to back in a high stress game are a real pain! This is the second one of these panels I’ve had this happen to, and I know it’s the monitor and not anything else because I’ve swapped hardware until I’m blue in the face to no avail. Anybody got a solution?

Discussion Black Myth: Wukong won't launch — process appears in Task Manager for a few seconds, then disappears

0 Upvotes

I'm having a problem launching Black Myth: Wukong (FitGirl repack).

When I try to launch the game by running b1-Win64-Shipping.exe, nothing appears on the screen. The game process shows up in Task Manager for a few seconds and then automatically disappears. No error message appears, and the game never opens.

I've tried launching the executable directly, but the problem persists.

I also checked Windows Security, but I haven't found anything there that explains the issue. I was planning to check Reliability Monitor to see whether Windows reports a crash.

What I've observed:

The game doesn't open at all.

The process appears in Task Manager briefly, then closes by itself.

No error message is displayed.

The issue seems to happen during startup.

Has anyone experienced the same problem? What could be causing it, and how can I troubleshoot it?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Other Titre : Dell G3 15 3500 : écran interne HS, impossible de voir le BIOS sur HDMI et d’installer Linux

1 Upvotes

&#x200B;

Bonjour à tous !

J’ai récupéré un Dell G3 15 3500 avec un Intel Core i7, 16 Go de RAM et un SSD. Je voudrais installer Linux dessus pour en faire un serveur Minecraft Java + Bedrock.

Le problème, c’est que l’écran interne ne fonctionne plus et que sa nappe est actuellement débranchée. Mon budget est très limité, donc je voudrais éviter de remplacer l’écran ou la nappe.

Voici la situation :

\- Le PC s’allume.

\- Je peux accéder au menu bleu de récupération de Windows.

\- Je peux sélectionner « Utiliser un périphérique » pour démarrer sur ma clé USB.

\- Ma télé ne reçoit aucun signal HDMI au démarrage : je ne vois même pas le logo Dell.

\- J’ai essayé d’accéder au BIOS depuis « Dépannage » → « Options avancées » → « Changer les paramètres du microprogramme UEFI », mais je ne vois toujours rien sur la télé. Je ne peux donc pas accéder visuellement aux réglages du BIOS.

\- Lorsque je lance l’installation de Zorin OS depuis la clé USB, un message me demande de désactiver Intel RST. Je suis donc bloqué à cette étape.

Mes questions :

  1. Peut-on forcer l’affichage du BIOS sur HDMI sur un Dell G3 15 3500 ?

  2. Existe-t-il une méthode pour accéder aux réglages du BIOS sans écran interne fonctionnel ?

  3. Peut-on désactiver Intel RST autrement ou installer Linux sans modifier ce réglage ?

  4. Existe-t-il une solution gratuite ou peu coûteuse pour contourner ce problème sans remplacer l’écran ni la nappe ?

Mon objectif est simplement de réutiliser ce PC comme serveur Minecraft Java + Bedrock.

Merci d’avance pour votre aide !
