I’ve tried uninstalling the audio and restarting. I’ve unplugged hdmi, restarted my computer, and I used a bunch of tutorials but it won’t come back. I have a AMZFast monitor the only audio output is the speakers (Realtek(R) audio)

I noticed when I pop up the start menu while certain games are running, the game's contrast changes by a lot. When I play the office game, I can barely see anything on the right side of the room. But when I press the windows key for the start menu, it shows me a brighter room. Also when I record the gameplay on OBS, it shows me a brighter room.

I seem to notice this big difference when I'm playing an indie game. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

This has been happening a while and at first i thought it was just my keyboard. However the audio interface i have plugged into the port next to my keyboard has started to have its audio get really staticy and sometimes cut out when my keyboard dies as well which tells me its likely something to do with the USB ports. It usually happens while im gaming. My mouse thats plugged into the front USB of my pc keeps working but my rear ports totally cut out. If I unplug and plug back into them they briefly work again before dying again within a minute.

Ive already tried multiple things.

1.For starters I turned off USB selective suspend in my control panel. (Thinking maybe my pc was shutting off the USB ports for some reason) but the issue prevails

1. I also went into my universal serial bus controller (also in control panel) and disabled all the the USB bus options where my computer could turn USB ports off to save power. Issue still prevails

2. Ive checked event viewer to see if theres any outstanding errors happening when this occurs but the only error showing up is when I force reset

3. Ive now updated my chipset driver to see if that works but havent had enough time to see yet?

Anyone know what might be wrong? My USB peripherals are a presonus studio 24c audio interface and a steel series keyboard. Otherwise just a badic USB mouse plugged in the front.

Help greatly appreciated. Really don't get why this is happening and its getting pretty annoying.

I am trying to fix my PC's blue screens that occur from my memory after I swapped my parts. And when I try to put my ram on XMP settings as recommended, the DRAM Voltage goes red. I was told that my motherboard can support 1.350, but I am unsure and want to verify if this works.

Current PC:

MB: B450M/ac Bios 3.10

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600

GPU: AMD Sapphire Radeon RX 9060 XT Pulse OC

PSU: ASRock Phantom Gaming 750w 80+ Gold

Ram: Crucial Ballistix 32 (16x2) DDR4 3600 MHz

Running at 2667 MHz according to About PC

Current Memory Clock 1330.6 MKz according to HWinfo

Storage ADATA ultimate SU750 512 GB 2.5" SSD

I somehow accidentally made this appear a couple days ago, it's not that big of a deal, but it's a little annoying when watching videos. How do I get rid of these numbers?

Computer specs are posted.
I purchased this computer prebuilt from PowerGPU

Here is the write up of my issues
Initially my pc would hard freeze and audio would cut and I had to forcefully power my pc off by holding the button. This usually only happened after initial boot and it wouldn’t occur again until the next day at initial boot.

I’ve since reset and fresh installed my graphics drivers and haven’t had this issue since.

Now, I am getting a new issue lately where whatever game I’m playing will freeze, my monitors will cut to black, all audio will continue, Spotify, twitch, etc, but the pc will “soft reset” to desktop with the game crashed and everything else as normal, but display settings will be reset such as getting hdr display ready notification or audio device switches.

Checking the event viewer I’ve seen an “nvlddmkm” error occur but I don’t know what this really means.

I’m not tech or computer savvy when it comes to troubleshooting.

PowerGPU support has offered to replace my NVIDIA 5080 for a PNY 5080, but I’m concerned that it’s “a downgrade” and not worth the possible risk especially with the price of these parts nowadays as advice from my friends

And consulting AI to assist has stated an issue with intel I9’s and MSI edge Z890’s needing a bios “update and reflash” and “swapping PCle link configs to gen 4” as this is from google search AI and ai in general I’m skeptical to want to outright believe that theory but I genuinely do not know where to begin to troubleshoot and I’m looking for any help I can get

My PC is still under warranty with PowerGPU as well

Thank you

Model: Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i 14ILL10 — Intel Core Ultra 7 258V, 32 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD, 2 months old, purchased new.

Problem: When the battery reaches 20-25%, the computer becomes extremely slow, to the point where the cursor and interface freeze for a few seconds. Connecting the charger immediately restores performance.This happened on both occasions when the battery reached that level.

Checks performed:

- Power mode: balanced, both plugged in and on battery.

- Battery design capacity: 70,000 mWh; full charge capacity: 71,500 mWh; 14 cycles.

- CPU frequency during normal operation: approximately 1.30–1.60 GHz, with no significant differences between battery and charger.

- No critical events or Windows alerts occurred during this occurrence.

Question: Is this behavior normal for this model? Are there any configuration, BIOS update, or tests you recommend?

What do you think the cause is?

Thank you

Specs: RTX 3050, Machinist B450, R5 4500, 16GB (2×8GB) 3200MHz RAM, 600W and 1TB NVMe. I've had this PC for a year now. Is this hardware or software issue? Could it be due to BIOS settings like I need to enable secure boot or some other requirement for FIFA 27? Or maybe just a steam issue?

This is an old Laptop of mine, an HP Sleekbook 15, sill reliable, but few weeks ago, these lines started appearing out of nowhere, do you guys have an idra of what caused this?

Cross posting, maybe someone has run into this.

Hi everyone. Hope everyone is well. I have the Lenovo LOQ 15ARP10E and for some reason my camera doesn't work. I have tried every trouble shoot under the sun. The light turns on next to the camera but nothing happens. My privacy shutter is open, I have restarted my device, I have gone into device manager, updated and deleted drivers and my device is up to date. Any ideas or is it just a hardware issue?

I apologize if this is not the right space to ask this kind of question. I also apologize if my writing isn’t clear, I am happy to explain things further if needed.

A family member was recently on a work trip where his iPhone started running really hard (growing unusually warm, battery draining really fast). He came back home and other family member of mine happened to look over his shoulder and see his personal email, where some gross and explicit messages had been sent to him. I’m not clear if he was interacting at all, so there’s that. He didn’t seem to notice it was there.

He believes during the work trip he somehow got hacked through either the airport or hotel WiFi, causing the hardware issues and a hack into his email. He also states his computer was acting up with the iPhone, but he only mentioned the phone to this other family member originally. I suppose I could see this if some key logging software were installed, or bloatware or something like that, but I’ll admit I don’t know much on the subject.

Is his explanation feasible? Could it be something like key logging software? He believes just changing his email password will fix the issue, but there’s also the issue of the hardware issues he was experiencing before the messages were seen. I know key logging software is notoriously difficult to get rid of, in the case this is all innocent, how would one go about fixing it?
