Hello, friends

I was playing a game on steam when my pc all of a sudden popped up a black screen that said something like your pc has run into a problem and is restarting. Now it’s not connecting to my monitors and my keyboard, mouse. The pc turns on but that’s about it, it seems. I am new to pc’s so I have no idea what to do other than trying to restart it or unplugging it.

Thank you friends

Hi I'm trying to build a budget setup and I can't decide beetween these monitors. My priorities are a solid and esthetically pleasing build and good screen quality in order to be as close as possible to an Oled (l 100hz minimum). The main thing I will use it for is connecting it to my laptop or my ipad pro to it to study and play light games. Feel free to suggest something else if u want to!

Hi! I have an HP Elitebook 840 G5. The "R" key was double-typing after one click for a few weeks, then suddenly stopped working. I popped off the keycap to see if it was just dirty and I cleaned it out. When I put it back together, the key stopped working entirely. I took it apart again and when I did, the little rubber piece (included a photo) came off entirely and would not stay in place/the key gave no response and didn't even trigger the backlight. I assume it was glued down or attached in some way. Is there a way to repair just this single key, or do I need a full keyboard replacement? Thank you!

TLDR; "R" key rubber piece broke off and key no longer works

Hey everyone! I've had a Lenovo IdeaPad L340 for a few years now. I paid around $900 for it back then, but it's gotten to the point where it can barely even run Roblox without lagging 😭

I've been looking at these laptops:

• ASUS ROG Strix G18 G814FP-TT080WZ – $2,350

• MSI Katana 17 HX B14WFK-283XCZ – $1,580

• Lenovo LOQ 15AHP11 – $1,490

• ASUS TUF Gaming A18 FA808UH-S8095WZ – $1,175

I'm honestly pretty clueless when it comes to laptop specs, so I'd really appreciate some help choosing the right one. I've obviously already asked ChatGPT, but I'd love to hear some opinions from actual people haha.

I'll mainly be using it for video editing in Adobe Premiere Pro, usually with a bunch of Chrome tabs open at the same time. I'd also love to be able to get at least 100 FPS in games like Fortnite, Warzone, GTA, etc. haha

Thanks in advance! :))

hello!! i booted up my desktop (hp all in one) after months and found this message. i looked up a few forums in here that said to disable the secure boot in my bio settings but no matter what i do i can’t seem to access it.

i’ve tried f1, f2, f10, and esc and ive only even been brought to these menus.

anyone know how to access it?? thanks in advance!!

I bought a decent pre-built pc with 32 gigs ddr5, 4060, i7 14700 and a terabyte of storage about a year ago but i really dont like my case, i want something like clear from two angles like the picture ive linked (not exact just the same style) but the thing is i have only 3 fans two at the front and one at the back, so is it worth it taking out all of the components and putting them into a new case with potencially buying some new fans

In my pre-built pc i have a terabyte ssd but after modding some games ive noticed that i have like 30gb left, i dont need another ssd but i want something decently fast but on a budget it would be best to have another 1tb but 512gb works.

Hi all. I was thinking of getting this computer for my son for Christmas. I want to make sure it can handle the games that he plays, not sure how to do that other than asking here.

He does a lot of Minecraft with mods. He always mentions shaders and stuff like that. He does not plan on playing the new GTA but he does play GTA V. Curious if this computer could handle that.

How about games like Skyrim and Fortnite? Would those play on this?

He might also want to do some video editing, nothing too amazing though.

I am getting this error on my windows

(I dont wanna lose any data or any chrome profiles as those are extremely important and i didnt sync them)

I used google and AI. Didnt help much. Please suggestion or help would be appreciated

Hello everyone!

I'm currently in my 3rd year of college. I know some programming and have a basic understanding of a few things, but I really want to learn more, develop new skills, work on practical projects and start earning money alongside my degree.

I'm interested in AI and know some Python libraries, but rn I'm confused about which path I should follow. I really want to start earning while also learning skills that will help me in the future.

I want to know:

What skills should I prioritize rn that are in demand and will be useful in the future?

How can I start learning AI/ML practically?

What skills can help me start earning as a beginner?

What kind of projects should I build and how can I make my portfolio strong?

How can I prepare myself for startups and internships?

If you guys could share your suggestions, experiences or any advice, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!

This keeps happening. Is it because i turn it off when im done? Does it happen when I dont turn it off? How.can I prevent this in the future or bypass it if it happens again? It just does this seemingly randomly.

I need a new laptop and don't mind spending more than 500. Which one of these would be the best for gaming and editing? I know experience matters more than specs so anyone who has used these is welcome to comment !!

Does my fans orientation are good?

My Acer Aspire Lite 15 is not even a year old, but it is already experiencing charging and power related issues. One of the problems is that it randomly shuts down when I unplug the charger, even when the battery is at 100%, and it won't turn back on unless I plug the charger in again. Another issue is that it starts charging for approximately 2 seconds before suddenly stopping. This is actually the second time this charging problem has occurred. The first time, I was able to fix it temporarily by disconnecting and reconnecting the charger, but now the same issue has returned. Unfortunately, my laptop's warranty has already expired, despite the device being less than a year old.

Hi everyone! 🙂

I have an HP OMEN 16-c0057ur with a 512GB SSD, and I’d like to add a second SSD rather than replace the existing one.

After opening the laptop, I noticed an area on the motherboard marked “SSD”, which makes me think there might be a second M.2 slot. However, there is a white rectangular pad covering part of this area, along with some connectors nearby. I’m not sure what these components are, whether they are related to the SSD slot, or if it’s safe to touch or remove anything.

Could someone help me identify this area?

My main questions are:
Does this exact laptop model support a second M.2 NVMe SSD?
Is the area marked “SSD” in my photos actually the second SSD slot?
If it is, does the new SSD simply go on top of the white rectangular pad? Do I need to remove or adjust anything first?
Are the nearby connectors part of the SSD installation, or should I leave them untouched?

I’m also looking for an SSD recommendation. Ideally, I’d like either 1TB or 2TB, but prices seem quite high at the moment. I’m looking for something reliable with a good price-to-performance ratio.

I’d also like to reuse the SSD in a future desktop PC, so compatibility with a standard desktop motherboard would be a plus.

I’ve attached several photos of the internals. Any help identifying the slot and recommending a suitable SSD would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It works perfectly fine in Safe Mode but I cannot login on standard one. How can it be fixed and does it mean it is software issue?

Alright so I’m getting my life started and I want to buy a laptop that’s both good for doing school and personal work but can also be used to game. I wanna play games like warthunder, gmod, and tf2, maybe a little cs2 as well with quake. I’ve looked at 2 in 1s like the Asus rog flow z13, I’ve looked at those gpd mini laptops, I just wanna find something that’s not too flashy but has the power to run the stuff I want without breaking the bank yk?

I am going to be buying a computer but i wanted to ask you guys something. I had this model in mind of a ASUS zenbook 14 OLED. my budget is around 1K euros and this computer is 1249. it has 16gb ram, 512gb ssd, full hd oled and a ryzen 7 AI chip. it has really good build quality. I dont want to get a macbook because i am going to be daily driving fedora 44 gnome/KDE. This looked like a good purchase but i saw this Lenovo yoga slim 7 with te same specs but around 100 euros cheaper. But people say that the hinge/ or build quality is way worse. What do you guys think? Or what better options do i have? Thanks in advance

Hello everyone !

Got a PNY quadro P2200 from my dad old config (he got a RTX 3090ti).

I have a RTX 3060 for gaming, I would like to have the P2200 in headless mode for when I'm on SolidWorks.

Is it possible ? If yes, how ?

Thx !

I am looking for a cheap PC even a second hand one for my son. He wants a gaming PC. He only plays Roblox, Fortnite and Rocket League. He has a console already but really wants a PC. Now here's the catch wife wants it on the cheap. Under 200. I can't find anything for that much even on local second hand sales. Doesn't need to be a beast but at least play these games well.

I did speak to the wife about the budget but anything over £300 is too much.

Any recommendations would be great as the ones I have seen on the cheap won't be able to run these games.

Hey guys,
so i conventionally im a single window guy, i normally just keep a single window in fullscreen mode and bounce bw apps as and when necessary

My dad has a 34 inch ultrawide, and since he is temporarily shifting, i have the monitor with me for a few months.

its a 34 inch 3440x1440 monitor

As for windows scaling, ive kept it at 125 for now (100 felt a bit too small, im coming from an fhd 27 incher)

Thing is if i keep a single app open, there s alot of wasted screen space on either side

Just wanted to know if theres specific apps/worflows that you use for multiwindow usage or some suggestions etc
thanks!
