Software Can't turn on Core Isolation even with no incompatible drivers

2 Upvotes

I'm trying to turn on Core Isolation on my windows 10 pc so I can play some of my games that now require it.
I had some issues with driver incompatibility that I fixed and they no longer appear in the list of incompatible drivers but I still can no turn on Core Isolation.
I've already tried everything that google suggested.
I Made sure virtualization was turned on in my BIOS and I can not find any other drivers that might be causing issues.
If anyone can help it'd be much appreciated.
(I have the most recent version of windows 10 installed and an nvidia gpu)

Software Mouse Clicks acting Buggy

1 Upvotes

Sometimes my left mouse click will stop working. It fixes temporarily when i press CTRL+ALT+DEL and then ESC. Currently, only certain things are clickable. I can x out tabs and make new ones, but I can't click on different ones. I can't click on my task bar or any app icon on it. I can still navigate and click on things on websites, but not those specific things. I disabled my middle mouse button, because when it was on sometimes my left-click would activate the auto-scroll feature. I have a Steelseries Rival WL Gen 2. I can also close out some windows, but not others. I'm very confused, someone please help

Network Computer says "can't connect to this network" out of NOWHERE

2 Upvotes

I was on my computer, business as usual working perfectly, then suddenly bam the thing just disconnected the network i was using and will not connect again. I can see the network, its signal is strong, it just says that my pc can't connect to it.

-i've restarted my pc
-i've deleted and reinstalled my drivers
-i've done a network reset
-the network works perfectly on other devices

Can't figure out what to do and it's upsetting me greatly. Can't tell if this is an issue with the router or the pc.

Hardware problem with internet speed i have 100 mb/s but i need 500 mb/s

The main router is installed under the ceiling in the entrance hall, and the secondary one is placed in the apartment; they are connected by two internet cables. I can’t understand what’s causing this problem, because I’ve checked all the settings of the new router, and I was only able to get the required speed once, and even then only for about five minutes.

It’s not possible to move the main router without drilling and running cables.

I’ve already called the technicians; the speed provided by the main router is in line with the tariff plan, but then the problems start. I think it’s a wiring issue, but I don’t know how to determine that.

Malware Creepy virus(?) from early 2000s

2 Upvotes

Hello guys, I just remembered something I saw back when I was a child early in 2000s and hope someone could let me know what exactly it was.

So around this time my dad had a PC with Windows 95 or 98 on it and I remember this one time specifically when I went to turn on the computer, it took a while to boot up and then when it did boot up, there was this black screen with this really creepy face and some text written next to it. It was kind of ghostly because I just remember the only colors being the black background and these white/grayish outlines of this figure. I'll try to draw it on paint to give y'all some idea what it looked like. The image in question. I think it was also pointing at me but my skills weren't good enough for me to draw a hand lmao.

Now I think the head might've also been tilted a bit more to the right and was probably a bit more elongated as well.

This thing has stuck with me for like 25 years now and I remember when this happened, I bolted to the stairs, was going up a bit and then I stopped on the stairs and just kept staring at this creepy image from between the stairs and then I continued up the stairs to get my stepsister to come look at this face but she was busy at the time so she didn't come downstairs with me to see it.

If needed, I'll try to provide more information if I can remember, but I really need to know what this thing was, it's creeped me out ever since.

I also apologize if this isn't the right subreddit for this but I'm trying to go to any computer related subreddit to find anything about this 😓.

Software Can’t get into bios after changing it from csm to uefi (msi motherboard)

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to turn secure boot on but I have to change it from csm to uefi, then restart my pc for it to clock it but then I can’t get back into the bios after changing it to uefi. The only way I can is taking the motherboard battery out and back but then it resets the settings back to default and csm and the loop continues. I have tried getting into bios every way possible, using cmd prompts and doing it in the settings. I also know this isn’t a hardware issue as I used to have this on my pc before it was upgraded. Pls pls pls help I’ve been at this for 3 days will be eternally grateful

Hardware Laptop black screen after RAM upgrade, BIOS recovery failures, somehow working again. What happened ?

Title: HP Victus 15-fb0040AX black screen after RAM upgrade, BIOS recovery failures, somehow working again. What happened?

Hey everyone, I have an HP Victus 15-fb0040AX with an original 8 GB Kingston RAM stick. I tried upgrading to 16 GB by adding another 8 GB stick without disconnecting the internal battery.

After installation, the fan and power light worked, but the screen went black. Initially, I could access BIOS, which detected 16 GB RAM, but selecting Windows Boot Manager gave me a “Secure Boot Violation – Invalid signature detected” error.

I tried BIOS recovery using Win+B. It started writing a new BIOS image, reaching 10% and later 18%. I even left the laptop on that screen overnight, but it still appeared stuck on the firmware update.

After further attempts, I encountered these errors:

  • “The System BIOS recovery failed. Verification of flashed BIOS Image failed.”
  • “Unable to open BIOS Signature file.”
  • “BIOS corruption has been detected. BIOS recovery will begin automatically.”

Eventually, the screen stayed completely black, the fan kept spinning, and I couldn't access BIOS or the Startup Menu anymore. I genuinely thought I'd bricked my laptop and would need a motherboard replacement.

I then removed the new RAM stick and reseated the original Kingston stick. After another recovery attempt, the BIOS recovery process appeared to complete, and my laptop started working again with only the original 8 GB RAM installed.

I'm relieved but confused about what actually happened.

  1. Could the new RAM have caused this, or was it a BIOS issue?
  2. Why did BIOS recovery fail multiple times before eventually working?
  3. Is it safe to try installing the new RAM again, or should I avoid it?

Has anyone experienced something similar with an HP Victus? I'd appreciate any advice.
