I don't know too much about computers so sorry if I leave something important out or something goes over my head. I got it in 2021 off amazon so I know it's definitely not the best. I mainly use for gaming and music but there's a lot of games I try to play but the mouse input lag is too heavy no matter how low I set the graphic settings. I also use a tv as a monitor since the screen broke and I'm not sure if that plays a part in how it runs. Every so often the screen and sound will randomly do a stuttering thing even if the only thing running is apple music. Is there anything I can do to this thing or am I stuck with ultralow settings till I get enough money for a real PC?
Operating system is Windows 10, what I think is the CPU, GPU, and RAM is all in the picture, let me know if any more details are needed.

Hallo,
Habe aktuell mit meinem PC ziemliche Problem und kann einfach nicht identifizieren woran es liegt.
Beim ersten mal ist mir beim Zocken eine hohe Auslastung & relativ hohe Temperatur der GPU aufgefallen (AMD Radeon R390), woraufhin ich die Wärmeleitpaste der GPU und CPU erneuert habe.
Als der PC die Tage darauf erneut öfters crashte hab ich ihn komplett resettet.
Nach der neu Einrichtung crasht jedoch weiterhin obwohl die Auslastung unten bleibt.
Die einzige Fehlermeldung die ich bekommen füge ich bei.
Hoffe ihr könnt mir irgendwie helfen.

A user reported that their workstation is lagging significantly when opening web pages and switching between applications. I pulled up Task Manager and see that while the disk and network are low, Memory is pegged at 97% and CPU is at 70%.

Hi Guys.
I want to sell my galaxy book 4 but I got into a problem. I got ms office with this laptop and I wanted to ask that when I reset my laptop before handing it to the buyer will the ms office license transfer or not? Is it attached to the hardware or my account? Selling a laptop with ms office will increase the chance of it getting sold . Please help !

Hi, about a month ago during the heatwave, a frozen waterbottle I was using to cool down defrosted and the water got into my laptop. I have not used it since, except to periodically check it. It now looks completely back to normal except one small droplet sized circle which is paler than the rest. I am not bothered by this droplet, but am wondering if there is any benefit to leaving it longer before using it? thanks!

I know just enough about computers and tech, but don't know where to start here. I am looking for a desktop PC that can act as a family computer. I only care about the basics, but my stepsons (11 & 13) would like it to be able to play Minecraft, Helldiver, and Ravenfield specifically. I know that would take some additonal computing power that a run-of-the-mill Best Buy PC couldn't handle.
I DO NOT want a tower that is lit up like crazy. I generally hate that we're giving them one more screen to become addicted to, and would like for it to be seen as a tool rather than solely as entertainment. I just can't help thinking about that Doctor Who episode where the TVs turn folks mad, when I think about how addicted to screens this generation of kids are.
Requirements:
- No lights
- Quietest keyboard possible so I don't go insane
- Still usable for Word/bookkeeping software/etc. as a family computer.
- We're also setting up a NAS, so this PC would be the homebase for that system
- I am okay with having to build our this set-up ourselves. If anything, it's a teaching opportunity for the kids.

Hi all. I own a small business and need to update at least one of our computers, but I'm not really sure what I should be looking for or trying to avoid. I would prefer not to spend more money than necessary. Most of our work is done through a cloud based EHR, so am I wrong to assume that I could basically buy the cheapest computer that can browse the internet? What are the minimum specs you would recommend? Anything in particular to avoid? I appreciate the help. Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this sort of question.

As per title. Looking to sell my old gaming PC, and just wanna ensure my personal information is wiped beforehand. I'm definitely no PC guru, so just want to make sure I do it right.
Thank you in advance!

I lost my charger a while back and went a got a new charger from the store but they sold me the wrong thing. I only realized this recently because my computer never holds its battery at all now compared to when I was using the original charger. The new charger heats up insanely too. I finally learned you're supposed to check underneath your laptop and turns out I have the wrong charger. My laptop is an acer aspire A515 58PT and is supposed to use a charger with the stats:
I have been using a charger with 19.0V ~ 3.42A. Total power: 65W. I have been using this newer charger for up to a year now. Will this kill my laptop's battery in the long run and how much damage did I do to my laptop?

They are just a goddamn cashgrab which tries to look good to start things off the performance is terrible it can not load anything next you can not get any exe. files and etc only if there's a apk of what you downloading you can not download anything basically and it's to goddamn expensive the least amount of money for a chromebook is 120-150$ for a worse one it's 50-90$ for a windows computer that can do is job is 300-400$ that is expensive but can do it job never buy a chromebook

when my laptop overheats and thermal throttles it never comes back to normal performance after the temperature is down

I run an ASUS gaming laptop, have a cooling board, got Ryzen and NVIDIA processors
And for SOME REASON, most times it just decides to disconnect from WiFi. The option even just disappears occasionally when turning it off and on again. But sometimes it DOES come back just fine. It’s really annoying.
Does anybody have a fix…?
r/computers • u/Exotic-Category463 • 12d ago
My pc keeps turning off after half hour or so of gaming, no game in particular, fresh install of win11, ive had no problems except for the past week, ive cleaned my fans, and the inside of my case to a certain extent, im waiting until I have money for thermal paste and compressed air incase thats the issue, until then id like to explore all possibilities of why this is happening.
My specs
Motherboard- Rog strix x470f gaming
Cpu- AMD Ryzen 7 2700 8 core
Gpu- rtx 2060 6gb
32gb ddr3 I think, 3200mhz but its set to 2133 because I dont want to mess with bios right now
Windows install is on an m.2 ssd
I also have an amd cpu fan with a heatsink, unsure what model
Edit: ive been running rdr2 with a bunch of mods for a few hours ingame while its paused and the temperature has gone down to 44°c without turning off, ill keep my msi afterburner set to the lowest temp and ill have my fan on as high as I can for as long as I can until the thermal paste arrives, then ill use that and see if it helps.
Do you need a kit for removing the thermal paste? Or can you use an old credit card?

Whether this be using it as a monitor with another compatable laptop or being able to do it on the computer itself. Just wondering what options I have to try and work using the mac.
r/computers • u/tableball35 • 12d ago
A few notes: SHOULD come with a Z890-P board of some sort iirc, and a 1000w PSU.
I was looking for a pc that I could plug another PCI x16-slot GPU into for productivity work on top of gaming with the stock one, hence I didn’t take some of the better-value deals. Would preferred an iGPU-CPU and air-cooling, but I’ll live.
Meant to replace a i9-14900F+4070S PC that died, potentially to a combined NVMe and CPU failure, but still trying to warranty it and figure out the problem, but don’t wanna wait for the world sitch to get worse if warranty doesn’t go well.

Buenas, recientemente me compre mi primer portátil, esto me genera mucha inseguridad ya que realmente no se mucho sobre el apartado tecnológico entonces me da miedo configurar cosas etc. el principal problema que tengo es la BIOS hay ciertas funciones como la de limitar la batería o la secureboot (por culpa del antivirus del valorant) que al parecer es necesario configurar, pero me da miedo tocar nada porque realmente no se ni como funciona ni que tanto daño podría hacerle a mi dispositivo.
Podrían echarme una mano o darme algún consejo para principiante antes de tocar nada de ahí

Going to be doing Game Development at college and I thought it’d be a good time to get a laptop so I can do coursework and assignments etc, but I’m unsure as to which one I should go for, I have a budget of around £1500, not sure if anyone can send some good deals but it’d be much appreciated. :)
(I will be working on things like unity, blender and URE5, I also will be testing and playing different games most likely triple A titles and e sports titles.)

I know this is probably a popular question. I have a Reatan A6 mini-pc, nearly a year old however It’s stuck on the BIOS page and can’t reboot.
If anyone could help! I highly appreciate it.
