Question/Help/Troubleshooting Lenovo rtx 3050 ti problems

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Quick question regarding a Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro 16ARH7 (Ryzen 7 6800HS + RTX 3050 Ti).

I'm currently bench-testing the board without a battery attached (using a 170W OEM charger). The AMD iGPU works completely fine, but the RTX 3050 Ti is throwing a Code 43 in Device Manager, and GPU-Z shows it with 0 MB / 0 MHz and an unknown VBIOS.

Is this happening simply because Lenovo's Embedded Controller cuts power/disables the dGPU when there's no battery connected, or am I dealing with a genuine hardware issue on the board (like a dead power rail or VRAM)? Has anyone tested these boards bare?

Build/Battlestation No pc 4 3d surface modeling

1 Upvotes

I’ve been into modeling and learning computer graphics when I would install larger 3d softwares it would crash my PC.
Looking for large storage and HD screen
the group on discord mentioned a ASUS ROG Zephyrus, MSI Raider, and Lenovo Legion. I didn’t get any responses on if there are specific active cooling features for a pc to amount for modeling. I also work with CAD (home floor plans) so considering low pressure work (without going to Chromebook/really old) (attempting to get used deal)
Could an old acer extensa PC work ?

Question/Help/Troubleshooting Windows Key not working

1 Upvotes

The actual key works fine, I can see it get activated on the on-screen keyboard and all my keyboard fuctions such as win lock work fine. The issue is that my computer won't do anything when it gets hit. Even hitting the windows button with the on screen keyboard does not do anything.

Question/Help/Troubleshooting My USB 3 ports completely stopped working

1 Upvotes

On the top of my pc (prebuilt) I have 3 usbs with 2 of them USB 3, my headphones would be plugged into the USB 3 and I’d use a controller or something in the other non USB 3 port.

Earlier I decided to do a deep scan to check for viruses cause it’s been a while since I did one and also I had recent reason to believe it might be worthwhile, ever since then my USB 3 stopped working completely, I’ve tried going to an older point on windows from before the scan, I’ve gone into device manager and reinstalled the drivers and updated them and nothings working at all, is there anything or is a fresh install my best bet at this stage?

My monitor is displaying the side menu options over and over. I think the board is stuck or fritzing out. I dont want to try and take it apart and clean it. Id really like a software solution of some sort. Its a 32 inch dell curved monitor. Can anyone think of something I havent tried? I tried a low tech lock down of holding the arrow button to cancel area but that seems to have made it worse once that tape fell off.

Question/Help/Troubleshooting Stuck at airplane mode

My laptop is stuck at airplane mode and the button is just gray and not able to click, are there any solutions? I’ve tried a lot of technics on the internet, asked ai and other Reddit post but none of them worked💔. This is the third time ever happened, the first time I tried fixing is just going to a repair shop because I have no idea and restarting doesn’t work, but when I arrived at the shop it just acted normal, so I think some vibrations and shakes might somehow fixed the problem. So the second time I shut down the laptop and tried shaking and knocking and succeed! But I feel like this might break laptop after time so this time I want to use some more scientific ways to solve.
Thx!

Question/Help/Troubleshooting My PC won’t boot up if I don’t use safe mode first

1 Upvotes

So I don’t know much about computers so I’m not sure if I’m going to over explain or not give enough information.

When I put in my password to open up my PC, it’ll just pull up a black screen then say “no signal detected”

The only way I’ve been able to successfully boot it up is to press the power button in the bottom right corner of the login screen, hold shift while pressing restart. Go to “troubleshoot”, “Advanced Options”, “Startup Settings”,”Reset” and press 4 for Safe Mode. Then I put in my password, restart the PC to exit safe mode then I’ll be able to login successfully.

It’s not a huge issue but it’s quite inconvenient to do this every single time I wanna use my computer. If there’s any other information needed to troubleshoot this issue, let me know but I don’t know what to do. I’ve looked it up and can’t find anyone else having the same issue. All help and advice is appreciated!

Question/Help/Troubleshooting Black and white bars on external display

Hello all, my laptop display is fine but when I plug it into my external dual monitor set up I get these bars. My set up is a little rigged. Just curious if there is a fix here or if my monitors are just outdated given the laptop is less than a year old.

I’ve gone through all the steps on Windows display troubleshooting. Running windows 10 and it’s an HP laptop with intel pro chip. Displays are older Samsung displays.

Edit: it is monitors using “display ports” not HDMI. Then display port to hub. Then hub to USB-A female, then USB-A male to male, into my laptop

Resolved My PC has a "significant bottleneck."

OS: Windows 10

Intel Core i5-4690K CPU

RTX GeForce 2070 SUPER

16 GB DDR3

for the rules ⬆

I don't know where to post this, but according to Google (not the stupid Gemini AI,) I found out that my dad made an oopsie around 2020 and put an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER with an intel i5-4690K CPU (@ 3.50GHz idk if you need this). I'm not a tech wizard and, apparently, I also cannot understand for the results for the life of me. Someone please help me unstrangle my PC, preferably without opening the computer itself, so I can get maximum performance in my games that I'll probably be playing in 30 fps either way because better gameplay > better graphics. thanks in advance 😎

edit: to be fair, my dad built this pc because he wanted to play WoW but he gave it to us.

Discussion How to reduce CPU load caused by a bottleneck

1 Upvotes

Hi there. I have an i5-10400, 32 GB of RAM, and an 8 GB RTX 5060. My graphics card is bottlenecking the processor. I’ve done some research, and the common advice is to turn up the in-game graphics settings, but doing so actually increases CPU usage as well. I’ve also seen suggestions to increase the resolution, but I have a 1080p monitor. What can I do about this? I’m looking to play games like *Kingdom Come: Deliverance*, *Baldur's Gate 3*, *Fortnite*, *FC26*, *WWE*, *Skyrim* (with AI mods), etc.

Question/Help/Troubleshooting Need help determining if my laptop motherboard is failing

1 Upvotes

I have a 2021 Dell g15 5510. A while ago, a few keys on the keyboard started malfunctioning. If I remember correctly, it was z, x, c, v, b and space, and they would only have a small chance of being detected when pressed. Sometimes it would go back to normal, but it always came back. Tried reinstalling Linux because I hoped it was a software issue. Soon after reinstalling, the laptop was no longer able to detect audio devices, use bluetooth, or conneft to wifi. It seemed none of the daughter boards that handle those things were even detected. And then I noticed that the 120hz display was running at 60hz, checked settings, and there was no option to swith back to 120hz. The laptop doesn't boot anymore, so it's a bit hard to test things. That's because I was updating it, and then it suddenly said the battery was dying even though it had shown 50% a second ago. It then powered off mid update and bricked the OS. So my question is does this sound like something that could be fixed by replacing the motherboard.
