Does my fans orientation are good?

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

I had just come back from eating dinner and this was just on my screen..? it seems to be on the front display (as in i can't minimize or bring anything in front of it), i can see what it says, GBT (?) lighting, what does that mean tho? like LED, pixels..?

(the picture slightly cuts off some of the message so thats what this is: _Lighting_Control)

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!

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.

A month ago i started experiencing forever disk checkup on startup, i got rid of it but i got to know about crystaldiskinfo and found these numbers are not good, however they don't appear to change.I don't got any important files on it though..

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.

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

It doesn't turn on, and these are all rusted- this computer has been in storage (badly I know) for a while. is it worth getting it fixed or just buying a new PC?

it's maybe 7 years old and has a water cooler and a decent ish graphics card, can't remember what it is...but I played the latest Sims and lol on it fine 😆 it's very dusty inside so not sure if it is fixable or worth fixing?!

I worked for Tandem/Compaq/HP back in the day. But also attended the Microshaft handjob back in 1997 to get the Visual Interdev mouse pad. Let’s see your old shizzle (no need to go back to core memory boards).

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?

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! 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! :))

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?

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.

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

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!

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!

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 !!

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!

I found a Panasonic Let's Note SV1 on Temu for just $60 (around ¥10,000). It has an 11th-gen Core i5, 8GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD.

Honestly, I was convinced it would never arrive. But somehow, it actually did.

The packaging was surprisingly decent for Temu standards, and there was even an actual laptop inside. So far, so good.

The listing described its condition as "Very Good", although it had a fair number of scratches and noticeable keyboard shine. I'm not sure I'd personally call that very good condition, but for $60, I really can't complain.

As for the laptop itself:

The design is surprisingly dated for a laptop from 2021–22. Honestly, my 2010 MacBook looks more stylish. Personally, though, I actually like its somewhat industrial, almost mechanical appearance. It's definitely an acquired taste, and I can see why some people might dislike it.

The keyboard, on the other hand, is fantastic. It has a surprisingly satisfying tactile feel and decent key travel, almost like an old-school laptop keyboard or a mechanical keyboard. It's nothing like the flat, shallow keyboards found on most modern laptops. The only downside is that, being a 12.1-inch machine, the key spacing is rather cramped.

Performance is decent. Nothing particularly impressive by today's standards, but it handles everyday tasks just fine. Considering that I paid $60, it's honestly incredible.

The 8GB RAM and 128GB SSD are perfectly adequate for my use since I've installed Linux on it. Windows users might find both a little limiting, especially the storage.

I also checked the hardware statistics:

- Battery health: 93% remaining capacity

- SSD power-on hours: Around 300 hours (I suspect it may have been replaced)

- Laptop total power-on hours: Around 4,000 hours

Those are pretty good numbers for a used laptop.

Overall

After a week of use, I'm genuinely impressed. I expected a scam, a broken laptop, or simply an empty box. Instead, I got a perfectly usable laptop with a surprisingly good battery and an excellent keyboard.

The fact that it actually arrived is still probably the most surprising part of this whole experience.

That said, I wouldn't recommend trying to buy one yourself. It appears to have been shipped domestically within Japan, so international shipping is probably not an option. The listing is also sold out now, and the 256GB version was going for around $180 after the sale ended.

There's also no guarantee that another order would actually arrive. I might have just gotten incredibly lucky.

So, while this was probably one of the best $60 I've ever spent on a laptop, I wouldn't count on being able to replicate this deal. In fact, you probably can't even buy one anymore.

Still, what a ridiculous bargain.
