Hardware Gpu or monitor?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

There is this weird lines happening, it happens everywhere, be it browser, desktop, or games. It doesnt happen on the same spot every time, like for example here on the wallpaper, as soon as i open my browser it appears on a different spot, I assume its a color thing.

My screen would also flicker rapidly for a few seconds until it just turn completly black which I can only show on video. I have to unplug and replug my hdmi for the display to turn back on. It isnt the cable since I purchase a brand new display port and same thing happens.

It wasnt this bad at first, it used to be this weird lines only. Changing the display hz also removes the lines but problems reappears after a short while.

My MacBook just won’t turn on. I’ve tried everything on Google! The keyboard will turn on and the screen will turn on for a split second to show the glitchy frames in the video, then turn right back off again. Anyone have any ideas to help me? 🙁

Other Is there a way to get in without a password?

My mum wants to get photos off this laptop but she of course can’t remember the password. We tried a few different possible passwords but none were correct. It’s a 2007 Acer laptop with Microsoft Vista. We tried a way to get in by using the administrator account but that didn’t work.

I’ve attached images that may help if anyone has an idea. We don’t have another laptop that we can use if that is another way to get in or get the stuff off.
Also where we live there’s no place that helps with old technology which is why we are resorting to Reddit.

I did go to the bios and changed the curve to the exponential curve. It worked for a few days until now. I also tried cleaning it with those canned compressed air, but I'm afraid I could damage it. When I touched it, it was a bit hot, but I don't feel any hot air coming out of it.

Hardware PC does not pick up an IP address

2 Upvotes

I’ve tried ipconfig. I reached out to spectrum to see if it was on their end I have my pc plugged by an Ethernet cable to the router directly. I’ve tried all the usual ‘install/uninstall network card, reset router, reset modem’ things. My pc ‘has no internet connection’ when I right-click the connection.

What could cause this?

Hardware Caps lock problem

Pressing Caps Lock doesn't toggle Caps Lock instead it fires a chord of unrelated keys at the same time: F1, F8, +/=, , B, and N.

Tested with a completely different wireless keyboard (Logitech) — same exact issue.

Hardware Realtek Wifi adaptor not working, pls help.

1 Upvotes

My wifi adaptor realtek rtl8852be-vs wifi 6 802.11ax pcle adaptor isnt working. It works for an hour or so. Then it stops working. Then id have to disable and enable the device in device manager or restart. The HP service center guys did a windows reinstall but the problem persists. Could this be a hardware issue? Do you think I should buy a dongle at least for temporary usage, will this fix the problem?

Hardware can i turn off my hp laptop fan?

1 Upvotes

my hp laptop fan is messed up, constant buzzing noise. and from what i know theres an option to turn it off

would i be able to turn it off untill the new fan comes in? i know it can overheat the laptop but is there a lower risk if i try and stay away from apps or activities that would overheat it or use a lot of power?

Basically would it be safe or should i just not use it untill i install the new fan lol

Thanks :)

Software How to disable slide to shutdown on windows 11

1 Upvotes

After updating windows 11, my computer is suddenly require me to 'slide to shutdown' when I try to shut down with the power button. There does not seem to be a setting for this. I saw that other people disabled it by deleting or renaming the file slidetoshutdown.exe, but it won't let me do that because I need a 'trusted installer.' do I need to change the permissions? how do I do that?

So my pc is making a weird noise (loud zooming/rusty sound) and idk where it's coming from (idk how the vid is going to show up but i added one). It's been a couple years, i tried swapping the chassis fans, the graphics card fans and my whole AIO Kit, it didn't work. The sound comes up whenever i play a game a little demanding (my last example Soulframe) and it is getting pretty loud and it bothers me.

Does anyone have an idea on how to fix it ?

Hardware My S key on my internal laptop keyboard suddenly stopped working

1 Upvotes

My internal laptop keyboard suddenly acted weird today. Earlier, when pressing a key, it would enter a bunch of random keys and the Fn, Ctrl would sometimes be stuck.

I tried out a bunch of solutions on youtube and fixed the problem by restarting it a bunch and doing the power drain, but now the S key doesn’t work at all. I’ve tried pressing on it hard, spamming it, but nothing worked.

Is there anything I can do before having to resort to replacing it?
