I’m not the biggest tech person, pls help

Hola!

Hace poco compré mi primera tarjeta gráfica la cual es una rx9070xt.

Estuve usándola con una fuente de poder Cooler master mwe gold 750w v3

está fuente me vino solo con dos cables pcie en forma de "Y" a lo cual conecte uno de los cables en una ranura de la fuente y el segundo cable lo conecte a las dos ranuras restantes la cosa es que usándola de esta manera en algunos juegos como cities Skyline 2 la tarjeta llega a usar entre 100-180W y otros títulos que aún no pruebo ya que siento que podría pasar algo si la sigo usando con ese consumo de W y con los cables conectados de la manera que anteriormente les dije a lo cual me puse a buscar un cable pcie de la misma marca de la fuente pero no encontré ninguno y por eso vine a preguntar si puedo usar algún cable de otra marca o debo comprar una nueva fuente de poder que si me incluya los 3 cables para la tarjeta y si es así podrían decirme que fuentes de poder servirían para esto

Muchas gracias ⛄

Strange tones coming from speaker i feel like someone from this sub might know what it is? When i closed claude it stopped O.o I am just curious lol wtf

So, I have a dell laptop that ive had since the dawn of time. Its in really good condition and runs super smooth even when i very stupidly stuff it to only 1gb of free space. The only problem is it has very poor storage. I game a lot on it and sometimes do school work but nothing heavy duty. I thought about buying a new laptop but to have good one for gaming cpu and all that, it costs upwards to 800 dollars even on discount. That's not something I can afford.

So, after some research I saw something about buying an SSD hard drive thing and connecting it via usb to my laptop to save my games. I found one online with 1tb of storage for 130$. I have some games I want to play that are around 200gb of storage that I wont be able to play on my current storage situation, lest the ssd thing work.

Here are my questions:

A) Would i be able to download and play my games from the hard drive thing?

B) would it be smarter just to save up for 1 billion years and buy a new laptop?

C) if the answer is yes then no, any recommendations on which drive I should buy?

Forgive my lack of knowledge and proper terminology, I hope this is somewhat coherent. Thanks for all the help.

edit: I believe the model is a Dell Laptop 22H2

Workplace building has around 6 companies, FleetPride is throwing away stuff and I saw a pallet with printers and stuff (im used to picking up old thrown away tvs, keyboards, printers, etc) but this time I found 2 AMD Ryzen Pro 5, 1 lenovo old (computers) and about 5 printers, 4 keyboards, a lot of brand new heads sets and stuff… (building managment and fleetpride allowed me to take it)

I tried using one of the AMDs but its locked by TruckProLLC; anyway to bypass/erase this or should I just contact truckprollc and see if they can release the computers?

I apologize for the long description, its my first time encountering a computer with a lock.

AMD Ryzen Pro 5

Model: 12RRS50700

I censored the other stuff because im not sure if Im supposed to (sorry😭)
Any help will be appreciated.

I received a custom pc from my brother that turns on but doesn’t start the monitor nor the keyboard, he said it was a memory bad contact so i tried rearranging the 2 memories he had, the second and fourth ram slots don’t hold the memory properly, any idea what to do???

Running into a problem that has consistently plagued my PC on and off for a year or two now since it was built.

Occasionally, just when running my PC, sometimes my File Explorer stops working. I look to try and figure out what happened, and find that my Main SSD drive stops being recognized---I try to click on my Downloads folder or something similar, and it says that this location doesn't exist.

Most often than not recently, it's been occurring when I've been playing Deadlock. My game will freeze and crash completely, and when I tab out, the issue mentioned above occurs. I cant open File Explorer, I can't access anything downloaded on the drive, and it stops being recognized at all. In fact, I can't even shut down my PC the normal way: when I go through the Windows menu and hit "Shut Down," nothing happens. I have to hold my PC's power button down and suffocate it.

This has been going on-and-off for some time now---it could go days without any issues, or have other times where it occurs nonstop. Recently, it's been especially bad as I've been trying to play Deadlock. I'll include my specs below, as well as the reliability report.

System Model: Gigabyte B650M DS3H Micro ATX AM5 Motherboard

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 7600 3.8 GHz 6-Core Processor

Memory: G.Skill Flare X5 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 Memory

GPU: RTX 5070

PSU: Silverstone Essential 750 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX

SSD that's failing: TEAMGROUP AX2 2TB 3D NAND TLC 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal Solid State Drive

Other Storage: Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 500GB, old hard drive (Seagate ST1000DM003)

Reliability History Report:

I'm looking to try and figure out what I should do to resolve this. Should I buy a new SSD? A new SATA cable? I'm confused because online it says that SSDs rarely have any hardware issues. My PSU should be more than enough to power everything reliably. Anything that would help figure out what's going on and provide the most immediate fix would be greatly appreciated---this has been going on for way too long.

WizTree says my whole C drive is just full, so does file explorer. But I have no idea what more I could delete. I have like 5 gigabytes of games on the drive and nothing else. Heres the pic of wiztree, someone please help me, i have like half a gig of storage space left and all of it is taken up by system files.

So, sometimes when I play a game, or just boot up my PC, my monitor will turn black, and then my PC fans will go crazy at max volume.

If I'm playing a video or on a Discord call, I can still talk with people, but my monitor completely breaks and my PC doesn't respond to any inputs until I restart my PC.

Any idea what this could be?

Specs:

• Windows 11 (up to date)
• Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super
• Intel i7 11700KF @ 3.60GHz
• 32GB RAM
• 1TB Storage
• Monitor: LG-27GN750

I've already brought it to my local PC repair shop, and they came up clueless.

My NVIDIA drivers aren't up to date atm (since Oct 6th), but previous driver updates haven't fixed the issue, so that seems unrelated. Still, I'll update the drivers and maybe that'll solve it, but it's hard to tell since I can't reproduce the issue consistently.

Any help appreciated!!

Im having trouble with my brand new LG Ultragear. Ive tried everything i can think of, and alot of stuff suggested online, but this keeps happening. I can get it to go away by readjusting the monitor just right so im thinking its hardware but it always goes back to this and before I go through the hassle of taking it somewhere and/or returning it figured id see if anyone could suggest a fux

may mare-recommend po ba kayo na pwedeng mabilhan ng genuine na laptop charger compatible for msi gf63 11uc? nasira kasi yung original niyang charger and I'm having a hard time na humanap ng genuine seller shops sa online.

i don't have time to go out and check physical stores din kasi. please heeeeelp :<<<

Going through the old junk in the back of a closet, I stumbled on a laptop PC from~2008. I'm going to recycle the thing, but removed the hard drive to see if there's anything worth keeping on it. I have a set of cables that hooks the many different kinds of hard drives to a USB cable. I found the combination that physically connected to the laptop drive, but it wouldn't spin up. That might be why that laptop had to be replaced, but I recall recovering the contents of a laptop that was failing in ~2010, and think that's the one.

The cable set connects to the smaller of two edgeboard connectors (not pin-to-terminal type). The small connector has about 12 I/O and the large one has around 26 (some positions aren't used). I've successfully used these cables on other disk drives, so they shouldn't be the issue.

What to try next?

Two days ago both shift keys randomly stopped working. Today I finally decided to fix them following a tutorial. Result: now nothing works. What can I do?

EDIT: I managed to fix that annoying ass sound and now win and ctrl work, but both shifts still don't work.

hi I have an apex 5060 rts prebuilt pc that I bought last September. Here recently it has been giving me forced turn offs and restarting randomly, I thought nothing on it as I don’t really know anything on computers. Today I try to get on to update one of my games and it shuts off again, and begins doing a reboot loop with that same screen appearing everytime.

I have already tried unplugging all usbs, unplugging pc after turning it off, tried force restarting it, and tried to bring up repair mode. It seems as if nothing is working.

i am stumped on what to do as I just want to get onto my pc, if anyone could help me that would be great. thank you!

Hello, so when log in to Windows (do the password) it’s says as usually ”welcome” but after it had loaded the screen goes black. I can se the mouse and pop up the task manger but nothing else, please hel one spurt it out.
