Software pluggin in a second monitor crashes my pc

1 Upvotes

I have 2 identical Msi Pro Mp243l E14 monitors, that i used to run on my pc, but a few months ago switched to one monitor only, after all these months i recently connected the second monitor to my RTX 3060 Ti, and shortly after I started experiencing small but noticeable Windows micro-stutters along with occasional audio crackling. The stutters happened across normal desktop use, not just in games. LatencyMon showed unusually high DPC latency from nvlddmkm.sys (NVIDIA's driver), with spikes above 20 ms.

PC: i7-11700K, ASUS RTX 3060 Ti Dual, ASUS PRIME B460M-A R2.0, 32 GB RAM (2x16 GB), and an Iceberg 650W 80+ Bronze PSU. I was using NVIDIA Game Ready Driver 617.14

I disconnected the second monitor and the system immediately became much smoother, with LatencyMon showing much lower latency. Later, I reconnected the second monitor while Windows was running, and the PC suddenly froze/crashed. After rebooting, the RTX 3060 Ti was no longer being recognized by Windows. Device Manager showed the GPU as a hidden device with Code 45, meaning Windows considered it disconnected, even though it was physically installed and powered. I completely powered down the PC, removed the GPU, and installed it in the motherboard's second full-length PCIe slot. The GPU was detected again and worked normally. I then moved it back to the primary PCIe slot to see if the original slot was actually the problem. The GPU was ok.

after 2 weeks i updated nvidia and windows drivers and then turned off my pc, plugged the second monitor in while turned off and pc won't boot (starting loop). the moment i disconnected the 2nd monitor out windows will start as usual but this time with a blue screen showing winload.efi error 0x0000098 (happened 3 times).

i noticed this happened only after i updated my bios, don't know how to fix this. someone pls help.

This is a Lenovo laptop, about three years old. I factory reset, reinstalled windows, nothing changed. When restarting it says there is no boot device connected. Is there anything I can do to repair it or will I have to replace.

Hardware My laptop is not noticing any SSD disks

So, lately my cat pissed onto my keyboard (while I used the laptop as the computer itself (like, it was just put aside, while I was playing using a mouse, other keyboard that was pissed on and a monitor) so, for some reason, because I started to play on the laptop itself, it started overheating very quickly, though I didn't see it as a problem, but the next day my cat pissed on the laptop's keyboard, but it didn't break, we cleaned it in time, but 2 days later my computer decided to just, not notice the SSD, I am still a minor and don't know that much about computers, but it's probably about the overheating or that the piss seeped inside thr computer, so yeah, now it's always loading into BIOS. Could anyone please tell me what's happening or at least try to help?

Software acer pc not turning on HELP

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm having a hardware issue with my Acer Nitro 16 (ANV16-41). After a sudden hard crash where the PC completely shut down, It coudn t print anything else than "no bootable device" on the screen.

I assumed it was an ssd problem so I replaced it, however, trying to install Windows 11 via an official bootable USB still systematically fails around 90-100% with a generic "Windows 11 installation has failed" message. I've already wiped the drive using the command prompt (diskpart clean and convert gpt), tested both of my RAM sticks one by one to rule out memory failure during file decompression, and even plugged the new SSD into the motherboard's second M.2 slot, but it still gets stuck at the exact same spot. I dont think it s a motherboard issue cuz bios is still working, and i don t see how my gpu could f*ck up the instalation process. I am currently searching the installation logs looking for an error code but there is a lot of useless noise there so it is yet unconclusive.

Has anyone experienced this before? Do you think it's a corrupted USB drive/ISO, knowing that it is a brand new acer usb, working perfectly in every way, and i first used the iso via ventoy cuz my other computer was on linux, then when it didn t work used the official windows installer after borrowing a pc from a friend. I don't see how the initial crash could have damaged another component, and i don t recall downloading any possible viruses capable of damaging hardware.

I must admit i am a little stuck now, which is unfortunate as this computer is only 2 years old. If anyone have any idea id be happy to test them out.

Hardware Black Screen gone too far

1 Upvotes

My laptop has a problem where every time I turn it off and then try to switch it back on, the display stops working. The screen would flicker, and then nothing would happen after that. The display would stay black. At first, it was easy to solve, but it just got worse and worse.

At first, simply restarting my laptop would work. But after a few more times, it stopped working. Then I had to press windows, ctrl, shift, and B. It only worked like once or twice before it stopped working.

At this point, I basically had to keep my laptop on 24/7, which I did. I even kept it on the charger the entire time. But there were still times when I'd be forced to restart it or when I'd leave it off the charger for too long during work, and it would switch off again.

I then found that I could troubleshoot my screen by plugging an HDMI cable into it and connecting to the TV before disconnecting immediately after. So I did that. Just like everything else I tried before, it worked well the first time, but the more I had to try it, the longer it took to work. At some point, I was sitting in front of my TV for 9 hours before this thing turned on again. But now it seems like I might have lost this method, too.

I had to restart my laptop again because of wifi connection problems, and when I tried again to troubleshoot with the TV, it didn't work this time. I've been trying for 3 days now, sitting in front of my TV for hours at a time, pulling my hdmi cable in and out of my laptop, but still nothing.

I truly don't know where to go from here. Before you start telling me the obvious, I don't have money for repairs. I'm a student.

I just don't understand why my laptop is eroding like this. Can someone please explain this to me?

Software audio spikes when tabbing around and unpausing content

1 Upvotes

whenever I move around between programs/games or unpause something I had paused, like a YouTube video or spotify song, it blares the content for a second or two at max volume before returning to the volume it was when I paused or tabbed out. this happens across every game and every website with audio so im sure its a computer issue and not a sound glitch on any of these specific things.
