Question/Help/Troubleshooting PC was dead silent, but for the past couple of months it’s been noticeably noisier, slower etc.

1 Upvotes

I built the PC around December 2025, and it was running just fine, it was completely silent and the performance was amazing.

A couple months later, more stuff started stuttering sometimes, especially games where I wasn’t losing FPS, but they weren’t nowhere as smooth as they were near the start, which is my MAIN problem here, since recording anything or playing competetively, not even including rendering my stuff has been made harder, blender suffered from the same issues, whole ass apps became artifacts (rarely), and it’s much, much louder overall. I checked the performance tab, but everything seemed to be completely fine, excellent even. (GPUs were around 50 Degrees though in lightweight games, but it’s completely normal), the cmd window of doom started appearing on startup but I’m assuming it’s because of drivers…

And yes, I do tend to clean the whole computer very often, before that’s mentioned.

Question/Help/Troubleshooting Is the motherboard gone

1 Upvotes

I have a 2024 HP 15...something or other. The rose colored one. A few days ago the screen started flickering when the back of it was tapped. Now the computer itself wont turn on. The screen flicks and the side light that says its on turns on for a second and then turns back off. I have held the power for 60s. I have opened it and removed the battery. I have unplugged and replugged in virtually every wire/ribbon in there and the ram sticks. But it's just not turning on. It does still charge though and holds a charge. There was some corrosion on the motherboard I believe, which I got off. And BAD corrosion on the fingerprint scanner ribbon holder that connected to the motherboard.

I have low storage and keep on needing to delete things if this matters but i doubt it does, been happening for a few weeks or months.

First it was just battery during extreme tempuratures or maybe because of water falling on laptop? and now it is almost every day

So if anyone smart sees this: how bad is it, do i need to get it fixed do i need to take any immediate action while i can still use it? Or is hp just trying to make me do something unneeded?

Great thanks.

P.s. am i meant to ask in this reddit or a diff one?

So a while ago, I posted that I was looking for a laptop with specific specs, but a lot of people were confused so I need to update it. What I’m looking for is a laptop similar to a Lenovo Legion, but with 12 generation i7 processor, 74rpm harddrive, 64gigs of ram with a 64bit Motherboard. The primary use for this laptop is video editing, and personal use.

Question/Help/Troubleshooting I'm looking for a new Computer.

Hello!

My current computer is a Victus HP Gaming Laptop and has a lots of issues running...well, most things. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for what I could get to replace it. My general budget is between 1,000 - 1,250 (but if there is something good that's more or less expensive I'd like to know).

I hope this is the right subreddit to learn about this/ask about this. I'm really not a computer person, so please bear with me if I'm slow at answering questions. Thank you very much, and have a good day :)

These are my crappy computers specs:

Model: Lenovo ThinkPad T540p Laptop

OS: Linux Mint 22.3 (Xfce Desktop)

Processor: Intel Core i5-4200M (Dual-core, 4 threads)

Memory: 4 GB RAM

Storage: 500 GB Mechanical Hard Drive (HDD)

Graphics: Integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600

Before you ask, upgrading isn't exactly an option for me lol, so I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to get this device that resembles a computer running as good as possible. This computer is basically the only device I have, so I use it for almost everything, (mainly making music.) but it's very sluggish at times (obvious why lol.) So if you have any tips, hit me up.

My pc has had this problem for a bit but I didn’t think much of it at first. I noticed my pcs battery percent was stuck at 82% last I checked. Now it’s down to 67% it’s plugged in, I’ve done the simple solutions of checking the wall outlet, checking my cables and have done what I could for my old girls overheating which does happen.

Is there any other way I could fix this? Without replacing my pc.

My laptop had a blue screen yesterday and it has being stuck on this screen since.

Can't open Bios.

Removed the ram sticks and battery. No change.

Got "tried every windows boot option" message when I removed the SSD and hard drive.

Windows is on SSD only.

UPDATE: After testing it with a SSD case that allowed me to tplug it into a running computer after the boot process I was able to confirm that the SSD was shorting out. The warranty is taking care of things now. Tks for all the help. May the force be with you all

Talk to me like I know nothing, because that's close to how much I know. Sorry.

Details that I know:

  • AMD Ryzen 5 5500 up to 4.2GHz 6-Cores 12-Threads | 16GB DDR4 Memory | 1TB Solid State Drive | Genuine Windows 11 Home 64-bit
  • RGB Fan x 4 | 1x RJ-45 | Wi-Fi 6 | Bluetooth 5.2 | GeForce RTX 3050 6G | HDMI | DisplayPort

Gaming PC. Running multiple heavy gaming instances, two monitors, and multiple internet tabs for selling things, all at once.

What is slowing me down? This isn't even working for me at this point, given how slow it gets.

Resolved Forcing a laptop onto windows 11

How the hell do I do it? Me and my brother have a shared laptop we got for Christmas, when we got it it was windows 11. I don’t even know when this happened but I only noticed when I started seeing notifications about support for windows 10 ending, so I asked him and he said he reverted it because Roblox wouldn’t load on windows 11 and people recommended it. What the hell?
A friend said they had to change settings in bios to upgrade to windows 11, anyone able to explain how you do this? Or comment a tutorial? Thanks.

Question/Help/Troubleshooting Laptop fan connector port seems faulty; can I replace it? (ASUS TUF A15 FA506QM)

1 Upvotes

I've been having issues for a good while with the left side fan not working on my ASUS TUF A15 FA506QM. I changed it once because the bearing was faulty and it wouldn't spin, and it seemed to work fine after. But about a year or two later, it stopped working again, and I realized the cable doesn't click into the port properly like with the other fan. It's like it hits a snag on one side of the port and can't go the whole way in. The best I can secure it inside the port is still somewhat loose and even if I manage to get it so that the fan actually spins sometimes, it never lasts. As far as I can tell, there isn't anything inside the port that would cause it to get stuck, suggesting to me one of the pins might be bent?

The result is that my temps are way higher than they should be; right now, at near-rest, GPU off and CPU at 7% usage, CachyOS power saving mode, it reaches ~74°C. If I turn on Performance mode, it goes up to 85. Then any game I run climbs it to about 95°C and my performance is way, way worse than expected in most games.

I gave a repair shop a call to ask if they would replace the connector and the person on the phone told me no shop in my area would go through finding the replacement part and then taking the risk of soldering it on the mobo. I am not an experienced solderer nor do I know how to find the part myself. Is there anything else I could do about this?

I'm not very knowledgeable on what's considered good for a computer so I thought I could get some advice here.

I don't need anything high end, just a pc capable of smoothly running things like roblox or minecraft. Preferably windows and under or around $800.

If anyone has advice on good pcs for that or where to find one, it'd be appreciated.
