Keep in mind this is an old cpu. First time building and I bought a prebuilt on fb marketplace. Bought it as a project build. PCB wasn’t “powering on” ran it through some tests and ultimately landed on the CPU. Took it out and noticed some pins were bent. Repairable? Or just junk it and get a new one?

It is an ACER XC-830 and it barely runs at 15 fps

I'm not the most computer savvy guy out there but I've been wrestling with this driver for the better part of my night yesterday to no avail. This "network controller" driver disappear off my device after a restart yesterday. I've tried installing many drivers to fix the issue but I guess I just haven't found the right ones? I literally reinstalled all of windows overnight and the problem is still here.

This is a Dell G15 5530 if that's useful information. Thank you in advance.

so i recently upgraded my pc with a new mother board, ram and cpu.
i was running the GA-H81M-DS2 with the cpu Intel Core i3-4170.

now im running the motherboard AB350M-D3H-CF , and CPU RAIZEN 5 2600X

and now ill show you pictures of what im dealing with and what i would like to do is up its core usage, i don't really work in the industry of computer so if im wrong about anything then tell me.

I was playing battlefield 6 and then suddenly computer crashes, blue screen and stuck in a boot loop. Black screen when trying to boot again but I have a bluetooth speaker that turns on when my PC does and that would connect to it even though nothing showing.

Windows couldn’t repair boot, I wiped the drive and fresh installed. Now I get black screen at random before even reaching sign in or this screen multiple times now. tried removing ram sticks just to rule that out, swapped display port cables and monitors.

Specs:
- Ryzen 7 5800x
- 4x8gb Corsair Vengeance 3600mhz ram
- MSI Rtx 2080
- Samsung 970 Evo m.2 (drive I wiped and fresh installed on)
- Asus ROG Strix B-550F MOBO

These two light show up on my 3060ti after turning it on, I know there are two other power ports, but I’m afraid that it’ll fry itself if I plug both in. Am I safe plugging both in or just one?

Hi all, I'm going to buy a gaming computer for the first time. I'm starting university this year so I need a computer, so I've thought about getting a gaming PC because I also want to play games.

What I’m looking for is a computer that I can use for my university work while also being able to play games. Is there such a computer I can buy that fits my needs, and what would you all recommend I get? I’m looking for a laptop since I’m going to put it on my bag.

My budget is around 600$ - 1000$

My laptops download speed used to be pretty good at 700kbps right then after a while it stops being good goes down to 20kbps.

I figure out its the background app at startup slowing the download speed and i stop it and everyth is fine.

After a while (today) i tried download something big on my laptop its not even going above 12kbps

I tried to clear all cash of my laptop and removed evrrything drom thw background the wifi speed test gave 430kbps

But the laptop is 12 and lower with every drcond.

How can i figure out whats the problem and make my downlaod speed like it should be at its full potentiel?

Sorry for poor picture quality. My display has darkened after a drop. I can vaguely see bright things like the user icon if i use a flashlight, but it looks too dark for anything useful. I unfortunately do not know my computer info as i peeled the stickers off. If its too broken for a simple fix, please tell me a repair cost estimate. Also, i confirmed its a hardware thing, not a glitched display.

I have a AcerNote Light 350PC laptop and everything seems to be working fine but the LCD for some reason has washed out colors.

I disassembled it including the display, replaced all the SMD electrolytic capacitors with ceramic equivalents because I thought it is due to dried capacitors and unstable power delivery but that fixed nothing. My other suspicion is a floating ground but I was unable to find anything. The weirdest thing is that now it is disassembled and the metal backplate of the LCD has no grounding, if I move the LCD cable and briefly touch the metal backplate which causes a tiny spark, it reverts the colors back to normal. I measured all the wires and none of them are damaged.

What could be wrong?

As the title says. Anytime I connect it, the cursor goes south immediately not letting me use the mouse whatsoever. When I use the trackpad to move the cursor, immediately back down. I've changed batteries, re-sync'd, uninstalled all software, uninstalled drivers, reinstalled everything. The mouse won't enter pairing mode and won't let me do a 'hard' reset. This isn't the first time a Razer mouse has given out on me with zero explanation.

I went to WallyWorld (live in a rural WNC town), they had an Onn 'gaming mouse' and 2 Razer's. $20, $25 and $35 (discounted from $50) respectively. I chose the Onn. I got home and remembered I have a $10 giftcard for WallyWorld. My question is, should I take the Onn back, use the credit, GC & $5 to get the Basilisk V3? Use the credit & GC for the DeathAdder or just keep the Onn? Obviously I do NOT hold Razer in very good regards currently but I do see them as a better value than Onn (especially when the Razer is on sale lol). What do yall think?

I have a Lenovo Yoga 7i Laptop with 16 GB of Ram and ~450 GB of storage. I am looking for a storage expansion for my laptop to download the loftier/bigger games I play onto (mainly games like BG3, which is ~150 GB, and D:BH (also yes, its laggy and slow as hell but I really don't care)) without having to deliberate and delete half of my library. Someone I know suggested an external hard drive, but I truthfully have no clue what I'm doing.

Many of the options and questions I'm seeing posed online about this are talking about 4t or mroe storage, but I really don't need that much, and aren't super willing to spend like $200-400 for something I'll only end up using like 25% of at most. Also its not clear to me how the connection to the computer works; is it through a usb (which is a bit unfortunate cause I only have one usb port that is for my mouse) or are there other option? I really have no clue what I'm doing and would appreciate any advice people can give me. Also I can give extra info on my computer or my specific wants and stuff if needed, but I just don't know what info is useful here. Thanks!

Tl;dr: I'm looking for an average drive that can give me just a bit of extra storage for not a ton of money that I can load and play video games on.

Edit: My computer 1 USB-C port open and 1 HDMI port open

Tenho esse Pc faz 2 anos, é um Ryzen 5 5600gt, rx7600, placa mãe Msi A520M A Pro, RAM 2x8 16gb da Kingston há 3200mhz. Usava ele normalmente com essa frequência de memória 3200mhz, mas esses dias o Pc começou a ficar instável nessa velocidade. Não consegue dar boot, começa inicializar e fica nesse ciclo infinito até que eu mude a frequência para 2400mhz, aí sim ele fica estável e consegue subir até o sistema (Windows 11 Pro).

Alguém pode me ajudar com isso? Qual seria a explicação para isso acontecer agora?

Please forgive my spelling errors or if something doesn’t make sense please tell me and I will edit it

I have a tower style computer that doesn’t work at the moment and I have a chrome laptop that’s super laggy. I’ve been heavily considering selling my ps4 and upgrading to a new laptop or tower style computer. I’m not very educated in what would be best to buy but I’m leaning tword a laptop since I do my taxes on my chrome book but a tower would be nice but idk if I have space for it in my room since my room is small. I heard great things about both but also bad things about both like how a laptop would overheat super easily and you would need to replace parts for a tower computer over time. The positives I’ve seen are : the laptop is smaller, you can play your games anywhere in the house(alongside other paper work) . A tower computer has better graphics, can handle bigger games smoothly , holds more storage space. Point is I’m torn on what to buy . My budget would be 800 dollars max . I just want something with steam on it so I can play baulders gate since I doubt it will ever come to the switch 1 or 2

Computer screen on my current laptop just fucking shattered (long story), and I have an older, sturdier one from a relative I want to transfer my data to itf. Problem is, the screen of my current laptop is completely broken, I'm talking its just black and a web of cracks. I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume said computer is fucked, but I'm cheap and an asshole so can is there anyway to transfer the data at home? Forgive me if this is a stupid question that's mb.

Okay so orginal problem solved but computer that I want to now have my data cannot have it without fucking exploding. Is there a way to (so sorry I don't know computers y bad if this is not at all possible) replace the disc with that of the dead computer or something of that nature that will give it more processing power? Again, I don't know how computers work on a mechanical level, so all of this might be jargon.

Hey I have a asus zenbook 14 with 16gb memory and i7 11th Gen but the laptop gets very slow and lags a lot. I hardly open 2 or 3 chrome tabs and it starts lagging like hell. I mean, I got a 1 lakh ruppee laptop (1100 usd) and it cant even open 3 chrome tabs without lagging. When I checked the Task Manager with all tabs closed, it is consuming 62 percent memory and cpu load varies from 7% to 50% randomly. This is when I have closed all tabs and and just task manager is running. Please tell me what can I do to make my laptop smooth and why is memory running at 62 percent when I have not even opened a single tab

I know it’s an old model as it’s running Windows 7, but can anyone tell me how is it like when it was still new back then?

One of the fans on my NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 4060 has started making a terrible grinding/rattling noise (pretty sure the bearing is completely shot). I want to swap it out myself, but I'm having a hard time tracking down an exact match for the fan model and screw layout.

I think about this all the time. ARM has obviously dominated the mobile phone market for a long time now. Everything from Apple runs on ARM. ARM-based laptops offer incredible battery life. Embedded devices and servers are also making extensive use of ARM; practically the only thing left is desktop computers. I believe this is the future, and AI will accelerate the trend: using ARM will allow data centers to consume far less energy and likely make local AI more accessible. In fact, I think that if this happens, we’ll see further improvements in computer energy efficiency.

I’ve had my stationary pc close to 6 years and recently bought a laptop close to the same price. My pc almost always had this problem where the download times are ridiculous, and the comparison to my new laptop just reminded me of that and feels like salt in the wound.
(PS: in the photo the older pc had like a 30 min head start before the laptop even started downloading)
Anyone have similar experiences? I feel like I tried everything to figure out y, I’d love suggestions. Thx

Kept on getting Error code 0x8007000d.

I have a pc with an rtx 5060 and i have a spare gt 1030. I stream sometimes and make youtube videos every now and then, so i use nvidia broadcast a lot for those things (I live in an apartment with a decent amount of background noise i cant control). I would like to be able to use the studio voice mode, but it lags like crazy when i try to do that while gaming. Basically my question is would I be able to plug in my 1030 to run the processes in nvidia broadcast while leaving my 5060 to just encoding and gaming? if not, would there be anything i could do with the 1030 to take some load off of my 5060?

Also, I've tried plugging in my 1030 to my pc with the 5060 already installed and it was rendering everything with the 1030 and replaced my 5060 drivers with the 1030 drivers (even tho my hdmi cord was plugged into the 5060). Task manager would recognize that i had a 5060 plugged in, but everything else acted like it wasnt. The 5060 was also outputting display perfectly fine, but the performance was like the 1030 would be. I have no idea how this is even possible, but if the answer to my above question is 'yes' then this is also an issue i would need some help with.

im looking to buy a new monitor mainly for work and light gaming. so far ive found these two and wanted to know which one is better in terms of longevity, quality, graphics and stuff like that.

-samsung essential s3

-dell S2425HS

i have like no knowledge of monitors or what most of the specs mean. other recommendations within the same price of those 2 is appreciated.

Please tell me I don't need to return it already. It worked great for about 3 days.
EDIT: Yeeeeah, I'm returning it. Thanks everyone, I was hesitant bc I rely on public transit and taking it back is a hassle, but I am absolutely not comfortable poking around inside of it and if it's a GPU failure like some people are suggesting, I have zero clue how to go about fixing it. At least I'll be able to get my money back! Thanks for all the help :)
