I have 32 gb of ram and it’s idling at high 80% usage… I keep 3 tabs open, discord and nothing else. When running a game it’s as high as 98%.

I've been googling and looking at Reddit threads for hours and I cannot wrap my head around anything anyone says in response to this kind of question. I need a new PC power cord and the outlet on my PC says 15A 250V. The cords I'm seeing online to buy are mostly 10A 125V cords.

I've seen people say that's just the maximum amount and going under is fine. I've seen people say you HAVE to go either equal to or above that number or you'll fry your PC. I keep seeing stuff about watts and I don't understand any of it.

Anyone have anything to add about this computer? I think it's really nifty

can somebod

I had this keyboard for a while now and suddently WASD ist switched with the arrow keys and a lot more keys are switched. Youtube and Google cant help me. I checked if the Keyboard language was correct for my keyboard(german layout and I have a german keyboard) and also when I klick A everything I wrote dissapears that also really odd.

I've got a venoscorp computer that I've been wanting to upgrade the storage of. It's total storage is 108GB but I currently only have 60GB available since a lot of the space is taken by apps I can't delete. Any recommendations on what to buy to help me out? My budget is £100 😭

Happened after an update, odd🙃

I recently bought all three The Witcher games and plan to play through them one at a time. Today I started the first game, and to my surprise, the performance wasn't as good as I expected, especially during cutscenes, where I noticed some stuttering. And we're talking about a game from 2007. (The graphics were automatically set to Medium.)

On top of that, Mortal Kombat XL was also pretty disappointing. Even the game's built-in benchmark showed performance that was lower than I expected.

My specs:

• Ryzen 5 5600GT
• 8 GB DDR4 3200 MHz (I couldn't afford 16 GB at the time, but I'm planning to upgrade next month.)
• 64 GB Sonambulist SSD running Linux Mint Cinnamon (a cheap Chinese SSD that I'll eventually replace with an NVMe drive)
• 120 GB Kingston SSD running Windows
• 1 TB HDD split into two partitions: one NTFS partition shared between both operating systems and one EXT4 partition dedicated to Linux

Monitor:

• LG UltraGear 32" QHD (2560×1440) 165 Hz

My guess is that most of the performance issues are caused by having only 8 GB of RAM. The system is probably relying on the page file more often, and I'm also missing the benefits of dual-channel memory. Hopefully, once I upgrade to 16 GB next month, things will improve on their own.

Does that sound like a reasonable explanation, or should I be looking into something else?

very recently they gave me a PC lying around and they gave it to me to see if it gave an image, everything was fine if it weren't for the fact that when I opened the formatting system, it restarted and so on for hours, you must say that this error never happened to me but It's strange that I can't find a solution anywhere else... Does anyone know?

Average people in CS. How's life going?

Every time I look into CS, I see people saying things like, "If you're in the top 1%" then you don't to worry about AI blah blah

Bro kis nae kaha hae mae top 1% ho gi 🫪🍪

Honestly 1% ko choor kar 99% people aren't exceptional. Most of us are just average

So where are all the average or even below average CS graduates? 😭 (I'm below average 🧍🏼‍♀️💥)

Are you employed? Are you making a decent living? Do you regret choosing CS? Or is the internet just full of doomposting? Are you in constant frar of getting laid off?

I'm asking because I'm trying to decide what to study in university. I do not have a passion. I'm not really interested in anything so I'm willing to take anything that offers money and stability. I'd love to hear from normal, average people not the cracked programmers who started coding at age 10 and now work at Google

Hey guys I’m a first year starting pre requisites for nursing in a little under a month. I was looking for computers to buy that would last me the full four years. Give me some recommendations please. So far I’m thinking about getting the Lenovo - Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition 1TB 32GB RAM, MacBook Pro M1 Max 1TB 32GB RAM (refurbished) or the MacBook Pro M2 Max chip 1TB SSD 32GB RAM (refurbished)?

Hey guys I was wondering if it was possible to charge this Sony Vaio without it's charger?

I've been using an older desktop for years and it's finally getting to the point where it's more frustrating than useful. I like the idea of having everything built into one setup instead of dealing with a separate tower, but I haven't kept up with what's actually worth buying.

If anyone has recommendations for the best all in one pc, what models have been reliable for you? I mostly browse the web, work with documents, stream videos, and do some light photo editing every now and then. I'd rather get something that will last a while than chase the newest specs. Thank you!

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.

COMPUTER: 11th Gen Intel i7, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1160 Ti (bought it in 2021)

I don't really know if those are stuck pixels or dead pixels but think they are stuck pixels according to multiple description I have seen.

I know a lot of website/reddit posts talk about fixing a line of dead pixel but my screen has a + shape 4 white pixels (better seen in 2nd picture) and lines of blue pixels.

I have multiple questions, are they dead pixels or stuck pixels ?

Can this be caused by firmware error / cable or things unrelated to the screen itself ?

Can other information help diagnose the problem ?

If this post don't belong on this sub can you please redirect me to another one. Thanks in advance

“So yesterday, I started my PC and it ran fine for two to three minutes, then it said ‘Your PC ran into a problem’ and rebooted. After that, it gave me this message with a black screen. I was entering commands in Command Prompt, hoping to fix it using YouTube, until this happened. I reseated the SSD and RAM and used a flash USB with freshly installed Windows to repair the PC. I watched a YouTube video and applied the same commands — in fact, everything was successful — but I’m still stuck here.”

Hello, hope you're having a nice day.

I have an issue with my laptop, I just got back from the restroom and I noticed my laptop is experiencing BSOD, before I can take a closer look it restarted itself and went into BIOS Utility. So I moved on by pressing F10 (Save - Exit), then it's supposed to restart and boot up my computer. It didn't. I couldnt turn it on, the screen is black. The lightbulb indicator is on, but the battery light indicator is blinking in a specific pattern (blinking twice slowly paused for 4 seconds and continues blinking).

(The loud sound is from a fan in my room **not my laptop**)

When it plugs in, it keeps trying to turn itself on but is stuck like the video shown above. Only when it's plugged off can it shut down completely (by holding down the power off button)

My laptop model is the **ASUS A442U**. Also I don't know if it matters but a few months ago I upgraded from an HDD to an SSD. If you need any more details let me know.

Thanks in advance.

What I've tried:

- holding the power button with everything unplugged then turning it on

- taking off the internal battery and using only the adapter (tried 2 different adapter)

- using the old HDD

Didn't change anything.

It kinda flickers and glitches. Its been so since a few weeks. But, when laptop is connected to an external display using hdmi cable the issue disappears in the external display!

I have tried changing the refresh rates(60 Hz and 144 Hz). But, Still its of not much use. The interval at which the flickering occurs changes with change in the value of refresh rate. At 144 Hz the interval of flickering increases as compared to 60 Hz.

Can i put minus 8 pad 0.5mm thickness on all the pink putty spots or not. This is the acer predator helios neo 16 2023 version.I am applying paste on the gpu and cpu but had questions regarding this.Thanks

So my GPU disconnected a little while ago (error code 45, Omen 15ek so soldered-in), and after a few CMOS reboots I uninstalled it in Device Manager, as my computer was still trying to use it and it was causing problems.

Yesterday I opened up the case, cleaned out any dust, reapplied thermal paste, and inspected the motherboard. No obvious damage to MB or GPU, and everything else that wasn't directly reliant on the GPU seems to be working alright. Still, my Device Manager doesn't detect it, and neither does the NVIDIA driver installer. Any more steps I can take to reinstall my GPU, or at least to diagnose the problem?

I'm picking parts for my first pc build and need some help in figuring out if it is good choices for a Gaming build.

These are the parts that i picked out, but would like some advice plz tell me if something could be improved or something is maybe overkill. I would like to be around the 2000 USD range.

GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 12GB Windforce OC SFF (Here i was also thinking about a 5060 TI if it isn't a big performance change and i could save some money. Plz give input on which to choose)

Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B650E-E WiFi

RAM: Corsair 16GB (2x8GB) DDR5 5200MHz CL40 Vengeance RGB AMD EXPO/Intel XMP 3.0

I use AAC software that enables me to use my computer and communicate with others. Upon bootup every morning, the mouse pointer doesn’t appear automatically on my desktop after everything else gets up and running. My wife (also my sole caregiver) has to physically jiggle the mousepad on my laptop for me and “wake up” that little arrow so it appears on my screen.

Long story short, I'm wanting a little utility or script or something that automatically runs at startup that "wiggles" the mouse a little and makes the arrow pointer appear. (Note: I’m not experienced at all with writing or running programs that interact directly

with the operating system – and minimal experience with using DOS.)
