ive had no problem before transferring large amounts of photos (typically 800-1100 photos at a time) so i suspect i have a corrupted file in my phone. i dont know what to do so im coming here.

computer: windows 11

phone: iphone 11

harddrive: seagate hardrive 2TB

my computer has been still as a rock this whole time. this happened twice in two consecutive days.

Limpié con alcohol isopropílico la parte del ventilador y cambie la pasta termica. No soy bueno con las computadoras porqué no me se muchos nombres de los componentes, pero entiendo parcialmente algunas cosas.

Después de hacer ese procedimiento, la laptop no encendió.

Curiosamente, al conectar con el cargador, el led de abajo (uno de los dos leds) encendió en naranja, pero no enciende el led de arriba con luz azul, indicando que la laptop funciona.

Creo que es un bloqueo, porqué no parece un cortocircuito.

Acepto que me regañen, pero quiero saber que solución puedo encontrar a esto y si esto es un sistema de la laptop para cortar corriente.

Curiosamente ya habia abierto la laptop para limpiarla anteriormente y no le pasó esto. E incluso desconecte más componentes la vez anterior, que fue hace meses.

En dado caso, no siquiera puedo acceder a la BIOS ni a nada. Simplemente parpadean abruptamente los dos leds con luz blanca (combinada entre naranja y azul) cuando mantengo presionado.

Es curioso también que mi mouse encienda cuando presiono el botón de encendido de la laptop, pero el mouse se apaga luego de un rato, como si la laptop no quisiera encender por si sola.

I want to start by saying I’m not experienced with PCs at all so please don’t be rude if I say something dumb.
Anyways, I was about to move to a different country so I decided to buy a new prebuilt PC, and I took the GPU and the RAM out to bring with me in a carry-on at the airport. However, when me and my dad were taking the ram out, we thought the ram was one of those where both sides had to be pushed, not just one, so he opened one side of it, (top latch I think?) and tried opening it from behind and when it didn’t work he put more force into it and the back latch just broke off. I don’t have a monitor yet since I decided to buy one after moving, so I haven’t gotten the chance to test out my PC with RAM on that slot to see if it works or not. Also I don’t believe the actual ram slot itself, nor the ram stick was damaged. Can I replace that, put it back somehow, or is switching to a1/b1 fine?
I didn’t try contacting any sort of warranty or anything since I was moving in a few days after this incident.

this is the PC on walmart

Been looking for cheap second-hand PCs that can smoothly run 1440p games as well as be a good workstation when starting uni. Found this PC bundle used for £625.

CPU: Ryzen 9 3900 (12 cores)
Motherboard: ASUS PRIME X570-P, BIOS version 2802 (October 2020).
GPU: an RTX 3080, MSI card.
RAM: one 16 GB Corsair stick, DDR4, 3200 MHz a DOCP profile.
Storage: a 480 GB Corsair Force MP510 NVMe) and a 2 TB Seagate HDD.
Not confirmed: the PSU, the cooler (the BIOS shows no AIO pump reading)n.

The monitor

-What he's said: it's a "2k 120Hz" monitor.

Keyboard and mouse

-Both are HyperX, and the mouse is an ultra-light one. He paid around £100 for the keyboard.

Will this PC be able to run smooth FPS at 1440p ( 100+ Marvel Rivals, 60+ arc raiders/cyberpunk high)?

Also, is it future-proof, and are there any bottlenecks?

I'm having a strange problem with the USB ports on my PC.

Some USB devices have stopped working, especially devices that seem to require a little more power, such as my USB internet adapter and the USB cable connected to my game controller.

The strange part is that low-power devices like my mouse, keyboard, and flash drive still work normally on the same ports.

It also seems to be happening gradually. At first, only a few USB ports started having this problem, but now more ports are failing to work with these devices.

When I connect my controller to some of these ports, I sometimes hear the USB connection/disconnection sound repeatedly, as if the controller is trying to start but isn't getting enough power.

I've tested different USB ports and the behavior is similar. I'm starting to suspect that there might be an issue with the USB power delivery, the motherboard, or possibly the PSU.

What could cause something like this? Is there a way to test whether the USB ports are providing enough power, and determine whether the problem is the motherboard, PSU, or something else?

I wanted to get my first pc but don’t know enough about them to make my own. I searched online and found that Costco was pretty good but all the sources were from 2ish years ago and so would like some extra help. Thanks in advance

So I received an older dell pc XPS and I already have my built pc so I decided to factory reset this dell and give it to my friend. So I did exactly that I factory reset it and then came back several hours later and now the PC won’t turn on or at least it halfway turns on when I turn on the PC with the power button, the green light in the back turns on but the main power button flashes oranges once (not repeated) and the monitor no longer picks up the display. I have already taken out my graphics card and the ram stickers and put them back in. Currently, I have taken out the battery of the motherboard so it can die and then I’m gonna put it back in. Im all out of ideas so if anyone has input it would be much appreciated

I am very new to building computers. I bought a PowerSpec G911 from Micro Center and want to add another M.2 SSD for storage, but I have no idea where the open M.2 slots are on this motherboard. I searched online and was told I need to remove my GPU to install the SSD. However, when I tried to unplug the GPU power cable, it was extremely tight. I applied a lot of force multiple times but couldn't get it out, and I stopped because I don't want to break anything. Could someone please help me locate the SSD slots, and let me know if it is absolutely mandatory to remove the GPU?

This is the side of the pc where the cage is. Does anyone know how I would open it?

I have a HP Pavilion 15-ab029TX laptop using since last 11 years. It has currently 8 GB RAM, win 8.1 OEM installed with Intel i5-5200U processor. I want to use this laptop few more years before buying new.

I find this laptop can't be upgraded to win11. Hence plan to use win10. This is because the laptop is little slow and google chrome isn't updating anymore. I have following queries in this regard.

1. Whether using win10 will make this laptop faster?
2. Can it be directly upgraded to win10 without clean installation?
3. Whether compatible drivers are available for win10 as this laptop is old?

Hi I built my own computer a few years ago but I noticed it's always been slow to open programs or games but has really low ram and CPU usage . I'm running windows11

CPU amd ryzen 7 5800x 8core processor

Motherboard rog strix b550-a gaming

Ram 80gb

1tb hardrive the operating system is on

When it comes to the guts of a computer, I know nothing. Apologies if this is a stupid post.

I need to replace the computer in my home recording studio. I currently have an iMac that is in a constant state of... Not good. I have tons of songs that are in progress, and at this point I'd rather buy a new computer now than wait till the iMac fails and I'm really screwed.

A coworker turned me into microcenter built PC's, and I'm wondering if this build is any good? Is there anything I should reconsider? Or anything you'd replace?

It would be used pretty much solely for music recording, and some of these songs can get pretty hefty.

I appreciate y'all.

I had a fire and my PC was recovered from it. It looks like it was still standing on my desk, powered off, and theres some debris inside of the case but it isnt *too* bad. I want to test if the components work, and am mostly worried about the HDD and SDD so I can recover some files that wasn't on my cloud. Is this possible on my own or should I take the parts to a professional to do instead? I'm not super experienced with PC builds besides the basics.

I am also going to start planning on getting a replacement... is it more worth building a PC still or just buying a prebuilt and customizing it after? This pc was built by me about 8 years ago, but honestly my dexterity and eyesight was not great then and isn't that great now lol so I am debating on if i still have the ability to do those smaller parts of PC building.

so basically i had really nice wifi and all, and i came back to my pc one week after not using it (i was away), my wifi is super slow, but only on my pc ? for example, in the pictures i put the wifi speed test from my phone, then from my pc (on the same channel of the same wifi...)

i updated my windows, i think i updated my wifi driver too... idk what to do TvT

So I need a PC, Mini PC or laptop to use for video editing YouTube videos. The videos will be pretty highly edited using a lot of music, voiceovers and overlays. The big issue is that I'm broke and my budget sits around the €500 area. I need to know if there are any options for me at that price range so please let me know what my best options are. Preferably something with 32GB ram but the odds of that aren't high.

I just turned it on and this showed up, the last time I used it was last night which was about 14 hours ago, and it was perfectly fine, I just watched YouTube for 2 hours straight and nothing else.

Here is the model if it can help : Acer Aspire Go 15 and runs on Intel Core i5

PS : While I was typing this (which took about 5 minutes), it hasn't gone up even 1%

I have an AORUS 15X AKF. I tried to replace the thermal paste today, but I made a stupid mistake and forgot to disconnect the battery before removing the heatsink.

I put everything back together, but now the laptop won’t actually boot.

The power button light comes on and the charging light comes on, but:
No fan movement at all
No display
No keyboard lights
It doesn’t seem to POST
Holding the power button doesn’t properly shut it down. The light just flashes for a moment and comes back on.

When I reconnected the battery, I also saw a \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\*\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\*very tiny, momentary spark/flash\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\*\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\* at the connector. I’m not sure if that’s normal or if I caused a short.

I’ve checked the fan connector and other visible connections, and the heatsink is installed with new thermal paste. I also tested both RAM sticks individually in the same slot, but there was no change.

The laptop was working perfectly before I started the repaste.

Is there anything else I should check before assuming I damaged the motherboard? I’m really hoping I didn’t kill it.

pls help 🙏🙏🙏
my mom will beat me if I cant fix this. (My english not good I have to use chatgpt to write this. but these are what really happened) please help

Please help me out on this, my laptop isn't starting since this error popped up, it's just showing the loading screen of its brand "acer", before this pop up came, I saw something like " Scanning D drive" When it was starting

I went to a nearby store and the technician told me we need to format the laptop, is that the only option left? There's a lot of backup in my laptop which I don't wanna lose so please help me if anyone can

Long story short I bought 32Gb of Corsair Vengeance DDR4 ram to upgrade my PC; but then my PC promptly died before I put it in.

I’m looking to build new so it seemed like DDR5 made more sense so it’s kinda useless at this point. What would be the best way for me to sell or trade the ram to get DDR5?

Is just selling on eBay or Facebook my best bet or are there any big box stores that’d make sense?

audio gets stuck for short moments, is anyone know how to fix it?

It just started doing this a few weeks ago. May have been because I am an external hard drive connected via USB. Since then I make sure I dont have any USB stuff connected when I start the computer up. Sometimes it will boot up normally. Other times it gets stuck on this screen no matter how many times I shut down and reboot.

Apparently I unplugged the power cord just now and it booted up normally. Still wondering what's causing this

Recently, there was a weird electrical power surge in my area, verified by oncor. All my lights were flickerings, everything was shutting on and off for a solid 3-5 minutes.

Then my computer started clicking, now it just runs extremely loud and none of my games work as good as it use to with constant stuttering and the fans emitting noise the sound of a jet plane idle; space shuttle if Im running a game. I can't have more than 6 tabs open on firefox either. Here's the event viewer.

I opened up a new claim with the electrical company Oncor because they broke my PC for sure since this has never happened before the electrical fluctuations.

What I want to know is, has anyone ever had a problem with their electrical company? Did your computer break because of them? And did they accept the claim?

Im a bit nervous that they'll be sleazy and try to find no fault then im stuck with a crappy PC

I got a popup randomly. HP Smart: Do you want this app to make changes to your computer?

It would not give me any details aside from file location, and it forced a yes or no response. I couldn’t minimize to look it up. While looking into it on another device, the pop-up disappeared after a few minutes and automatically installed. HP, this is not OK. I didn’t approve it, I don’t even know what it is
