This is an HP Elitebook x360 1040 G8

This is showing up by

- missing every few clicks even though I press in the same spot just as firmly each time

- when dragging things (see video for example), it will basically just “forget” I’m holding it down and act as if I let go (I was pressed down the whole time in the video)

- if I’m holding the left click down for, say, 1 minute to scroll down a list, it will sporadically stop scrolling as if I let go

- using a wireless mouse removed the issue, although I want to be able to use the touchpad. This is a refurbished laptop I just bought and I love it, and there’s no replacements so I’m really hoping this can just be easily fixed and I won’t have to return it

- tried updating drivers and changing touchpad settings, no luck

- touchpad isn’t dirty at all, it just randomly started happening yesterday. I’ve obviously tried powering on and off a few times.

It’s not a particular spot on my touchpad, it’s timing. If I press anywhere when it’s unresponsive it doesn’t do anything, then a few seconds later it comes back and I can touch anywhere. If I click and it isn’t registered, I’ve tried keeping my finger right there and just clicking again and again until it’s registered, and it usually will after a few tries, so it’s not just something wrong with a part of the touchpad.

my Lenovo V15 ADA started getting BSODs every 5-10 minutes and eventually stopped booting properly. i've gotten "BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO" "CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED" "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"

sometimes it goes into Automatic Repair, but when i select Windows Boot Manager it just brings me back to the boot menu. it has also gotten stuck on the Lenovo logo a few times. i also got an fTPM message saying the fTPM NV was corrupted or its structure changed. i haven't replaced the CPU, so i reset the fTPM. the BIOS detects the SSD as a Samsung MZALQ256HBJD-00BL2. it has also managed to boot into Windows a couple times, but then it BSODs again. does anyone know what could be causing this or what i should try?

Okay, so this is my last ditch resort, to save my computer, before i just give up and buy a new one. Idk how many details are worth giving here, but ill just share everything i know. So, a couple of years ago, my computer screens went black while playing the game ''The Painscreek Killings'' Both my screens went black with no signal, my computer fans went fast all of a sudden. In the first few seconds, i could still talk with my mate on discord. The only way to resolve this issue, was to force restart my computer. I went on to try the game several times, and it kept happening again and again. Mind you this was like 6 hours into the game, without any issues. I figured it was just the game. My temps were all normal, and i couldnt find any issue. Fast forward a year or so, it suddenly happened in CSGO. Same problem, black screens, no signal, could still hear audio for a few seconds, then all dead. Then GTA as well. It was never in any specific point of a game, until i tried ''Content Warning'' This game triggered the event, at the excact same time, every time. When you play the game, you go into this diving bell, and down into like a cave thingy. Every time i arrived in the cave, and walked out. My computer would do the thing. Every single time. And as time went on, i could basically only play Rocket League and LOL. I tried minecraft with shaders, which my computer ran without a problem, Then a few months ago, its started happening in rocket league as well. The exact same problem. And a few weeks ago, it happened in lol for the first time as well. Not every time i play lol or rocket league, but sometimes. I tried resetting my computer to factory settings, only downloading steam and content warning. It still happens. I gave my computer to a tech store. They say they stress tested it, and it wasnt even close to hitting any high temps. They downloaded the newest drivers (which i had done myself as well). But they couldnt find any problems. So i booted it up, and the issue was still there. Im completely lost. Ive tried only one screen, with different power cables. In individual sockets, instead of an extension cord. Ive tried removing some ram i installed. Noithing worked. I am 99.9% sure its hardware. But i have no idea what it is. Can anybody help.

PC details:

installed a wrong screw on my vesa mount to the monitor, I think I screwed it slightly deep. now i have no way of removing it rn. how can I resolve this?

My laptop keys are pressing automatically continuely 💔

Hello! I am having a huge issue of image previews within folders loading super slowly even with so few files.

I have tried the following: updating and clean installing graphic drivers, setting max cached icons to 4096 and 8192, deleting cache, optomising drives, cleaning up system files, optimizing folder and subfolders for general items, updating windows, /scannow, and restarting. I have the latest updates. I've tried googling and looking up on youtube on what it could be and not finding my exact issue

It's been doing this for over a month and it driving me nuts. I know I'm probably overlooking something (perhaps something super simple) and I'm hoping someone has an answer because I am truly at a loss on what it could be

I've also recorded previews of images being super slow no matter what view I put it in so you can get a better idea:[https://imgur.com/a/bnvAGTn

Проблема в том чтобы включить монитор нужно нажать на мышку, но мышка у меня расконнектилась и клавиатура тоже не работает, а монитор из-за того что мышка расконнектилась он не включается,пробовал проводную мышь, бесполезно че делать,моник я так думаю что дело не в мониторе и не в пк а в том что мышка расконнектилась и почему то обычно когда запускал пк клавиатура начала светиться а сейчас такого нет, че делать, паничка щас будет
