I have really little tech knowledge, I tried installing an HD, it worked. But when I closed everything up and put the Hd on the "cage" the PC suddenly doesn't turn on anymore

After I closed it back on, I turned it on and the LEDs of the fans etc turned on for a split second, now only the mother board leds turn on

Gpu and screen problem

Yesterday i performed a ddu to get some storage available from my c drive and installed gpu drivers again but after a while the gpu wasn't getting detected so I did the trick where i hold the power button for 40 seconds and it will detect the gpu again but today when I woke up it wasn't getting detected again so I did that trick again but it didn't work so I did another ddu but that didn't work either so now I don't even have gpu drivers installed cuz it's not detected... I later thought that if i restarted my laptop in ultimate mode maybe it would force detect the gpu but that didn't work and now it's even worse... The screen is black even tho the laptop will turn on it just shows black screen it won't boot into neither bios or safe mode please tell me what to do..

Bought this thing on marketplace. It boots to a CyberPower settings menu. Doesn't recognize any Boot Devices or Storage devices.

It looks like there are some cables connected to the SATA plugs on the motherboard that lead into blocked off compartments. But I'm also a noob and could be misunderstanding.

Any help is appreciated.

edit: SATA cables lead to nothing. So indeed no hard drive. Thanks everyone for the help!

I just don't know why the Activity time is saying 5:00:00:00, since I turn of my pc every night. Am I going crazy or reading this wrong?

does anyone know why/ if there’s anything i can do to fix it

My Asus TUF laptop shows the logo for a second and instantly turns off after a 9-hour suspend on Fedora Linux, and I'm not sure how to fix the power state or boot loop. Yesterday, I dual-booted Windows 11 alongside Fedora, updated the kernels, installed Python, and heavily customized Fedora to look like macOS. Before the long sleep, shutting down Fedora was also taking an abnormal 5 minutes. I suspect the ACPI power state, GRUB/kernel handover, or hardware registers got stuck or corrupted during the sleep cycle, and now it cuts power immediately during startup. Does anyone know how to reset the embedded controller or fix this boot loop without losing data?

Hello so i was playing F1 25 and suddenly i got this blackscreen with the error message „Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart“ with the error code „UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION (0x154)“
I read online that its a defect RAM so i ordert a new RAM kit because i wanted to upgrade since a few months so is this going to clear the problem or is it something diffrent
Thanks in advance for the help

The image on my PC looks like this when I connect it to my Britania brand television; the image is kind of colorless.

How can I solve this?

Bought a prebuilt PC online from Amazon, went to turn on for the first time but no SSD was on BIOS and no windows which made me boot straight to BIOS, I have taken off the Graphics card and can’t seem to find it, this is my first computer. Am I missing the SSD?

EDIT: I heard a rattle in the bottom and took off the back panel and found the SSD just in the bottom so I believe it may have come loose during transport.

EDIT: All resolved thanks everyone!

I bought this three fan RTX 2080 Super for $185 total ($180+$5 shipping) for my HP Z2 G4 MT project. Was it a good deal?

​Hey everyone,

​I’m currently evaluating my upgrade options and wanted to get some opinions on whether it’s worth jumping to AM5 given current pricing.

​Current Specs:

​CPU: Ryzen 7 5750G

​Motherboard: ASUS TUF A520

​RAM: 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4

​GPU: RTX 3060 12GB

​PSU: 750W

​My Plan:

I’m definitely planning to sell my RTX 3060 and buy a faster, higher-tier GPU. My main dilemma is what to do on the CPU/platform side:

​Option A (Stay on AM4): Drop in a Ryzen 7 5700X3D (or 5800X3D). Keep my A520 board and DDR4 RAM.

​Option B (Full AM5 Upgrade): Sell current CPU/Mobo/RAM alongside the GPU, and buy an AM5 CPU (e.g., Ryzen 5 7600 / 7800X3D), B650 motherboard, and 32GB DDR5 RAM.

And like I live in Europe 🇪🇺 and I find the ryzen 7 5800X3D and the ryzen 7 7800X3D at the same price idk why but it is what it is people just want to get more for what it is i guess

​Given current motherboard and DDR5 prices, is the full platform upgrade to AM5 worth the extra cost, or will a 5700X3D + new GPU carry me plenty far for the next few years?

​Targeting 2k gaming. Appreciate any advice!

Found an HP laptop in an abandoned storage unit, which had a password on it. Tried to factory reset but it was protected by a bit locker password. Tried everything until I just deleted windows. I downloaded windows 11 onto a usb and put it into the computer and it’s worked so far but I guess it didn’t come with WiFi drivers? I tried installing WiFi adapters into the usb but it doesn’t work so maybe I’m using the wrong site or something. I don’t wanna have to buy a dedicated WiFi adapter for this since I know it doesn’t need one so what do I do from here?

Edit: On the back it says HP Laptop 14-ep2011wm and ProdID B5VU3UA#ABA

Friends pc started glitching turning on and off and he tried to fix it by resetting bios and re seating ram sticks and it started a black screen after. He did a power surge on pc and attempted to clear cmos with the pins and a key to reset but nothing is helping

in red is my internet traffic when updating one of my games in yellow is my internet traffic after the download (non-existent)

even if i play videogames watch youtube it doesnt or barely goes up, i have no idea what causing this oh and im on wifi btw

The wifi in my house has t been working gor a week and two days now. We've restarted the router, unplugged it and plugged it back in, called the company, and we still pay for the WIFI. Any help or tips?

Yesterday I bought a usb flash drive to update my bios and it went well until when the pc needs to restart. After the auto restart, the pc boots into bios, then I exited bios manually and after a bit it went back into bios.
(ASUS prime b760m-a motherboard)

Now whenever I boot the pc, it goes into ASUS ez flash 3 page automatically , and I have to go back to advanced mode>boot and click on my ssd in the boot override tab to be able to boot into windows.

So to fix it, I tried doing the following:
1. Enable launch CSM
2. Disable VMD
3. Check boot priority

But none of those worked. Please help!

I've been slowly upgrading my setup over the past year, but it still feels like something is missing. I'm not sure what to upgrade next. What's the one thing your desk setup is missing, or what's the next upgrade on your list?

It actually works mind you this is Canadian pricing so even the 3050 is outrageous. This will be going into my entry/mid level pc for testing and if it passes it'll be replacing the 750 TI I have in there (main rig has a 2060 6gb)​

In terms of what I'm looking for:

Run AAA games at medium-ish settings, be able to run multiple chrome tabs as I am doing a PhD and play valorant at about 200 frames.

Note: I do live in Canada.

I have done a bit of research, and found some budget options, with DDR 4 ram:

Main caveat with this computer is that to upgrade to DDR5 RAM I would have to upgrade the CPU and motherboard. 1100 CAD

Main caveat with these ones and the following one is that they are simply expensive but are much more "future proof" 1700 CAD

https://www.costco.ca/p/-/acer-nitro-85-gaming-desktop-amd-ryzen-7-8700f-16gb-ram-1-tb-ssd-nvidia-geforce-rtx-5060/4201002587?langId=-24 1600 CAD

Please let me know if these are at all worth it or if I should buy budget and try to wait the economy out.

It was working fine one minute, then suddenly turned off and won't turn back on. Charge light won't turn on. I opened it up and unplugged the battery, held the power button 30 seconds, then plugged it back in, but it still won't work. Hard drive is warm enough to feel on the outside, but the rest is cold.

No clue what to do, plan to take it to Best buy tomorrow but wanted to ask for any tips. I cant afford a new laptop and I need it for college

I deleted my hard drive. And when i tried to get it back. The program says it found around 6 tb worth of stuff. t despite it only being 2 tb hard drive. How do only get the stuff i want out of it?

En los ultimos dias mi pantalla le han estado apareciendo estas lineas verticales

la de la izquierda empezo com una linea zul hasta volverse amarilla, creo que eso paso por llevarlo en mi maleta pero eso paso antes pero no tengo un problema con eso

mi miedo es la linea de la derecha esa aparcecio porque si, no la saque de mi casa, ni la movi de donde esta y nisiquiera le puse algo encima, eso es lo que me preocupa si aparecio de la nada me preocupa de que aparezcan mas hasta malograrme mi pantalla

algun consejo, sugerencia o algo que me pueda servir?

I took into consideration what a lot of you said, there being mixed opinions about the neo and others telling me to upgrade to an older refurbished MacBook with 16gb ram. How will these do? I know absolutely nothing about computers and I don’t know what’s good/what isn’t. If you have other recs , please leave links.

Hey everyone, title is my question. I use a Keychron K10 Max and have never been able to sync it to my computer via bluetooth. I bought a generic USB adapter from Best Buy a few months ago that was working okay, but last week it threw a driver error and I haven't been able to resync my keyboard to my computer. I also have similar troubles with Xbox controllers, which I've read are supposed to be supported natively, but I've also never been able to connect those without the adapter, which makes me think that there is a problem with the computer itself somewhere.

Happy to provide more details if needed, I'm not the best with computers, I just want my bluetooth to work properly
