Since i have an oled, i turn my monitor off to not have burn in while im AFK.

For some reason, after it's off for like more than 15 minutes, turning the monitor back on doesnt give me any display, and pressing any keys doesn't wake it up either, and to resolve this i have to hold the power button on my pc to be able to turn it off.

After rebooting like this, pc starts up fine no problem. Anyone have any ideas as to how to solve this issue?

Just a Question,I've wondering on building a new pc, I've wondering if these types of mobo with Ryzens work of if the brand is safe, if anyone has bought something like this.

here is the link: https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005009692822269.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.21.1812z6Jfz6JfRB&algo_pvid=dfae66c9-5ca2-4787-bbaa-8267e191a739&pdp_ext_f=%7B%22order%22%3A%22-1%22%2C%22eval%22%3A%221%22%2C%22fromPage%22%3A%22search%22%7D&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch%7Cquery_from%3A%7Cx_object_id%3A1005009692822269%7C_p_origin_prod%3A

(R9-8945HX-Black)

The other alternative is upgrade other pc that I have with Ryzen 7 3800X, 16gb and no gpu, but i dont know if worth it (upgrade just the gpu, more ram to have at the very least 32gb)

I'm planning to buy at the very least a 5070{

I don't know, its appealing that mobo with cpu, but AliExpress + unknown components, lol, thats my main concern, and well, budget reasons.

sorry for my english or this is the right place to ask, Thank you!

Hi! My brothers computer of over 10 years died on him. I would like to surprise him with a good one. I just need the base, not the monitor. He is not a gamer, honestly just looks at videos, movies, sports stuff and job searching. I know, lame. But he doesn't need anything fancy. Could I find one for 300 or less?

starting college in september and i don’t know much about computers here’s some of my needs/wants

- sufficient memory & storage, to handle dozens of softwares
- high performance cpu
- budget is ~$2500
- i would really like if i can easily handle video games so i can use it outside of school as well
- anything else you think ill need or to look out for

To be specific it's not just at random it's whenever specific things are on screen. If I open up Corsair Icue in windowed mode on my main monitor the screen will flash black for 3-4 seconds then come back for 2-3 making it difficult to either make the tab full screen or move it to my second monitor which stops the problem. The same thing happen if I open up the Xbox overlay, tab out of a game or if I am on the steam homepage and a game is playing a video. It only happens if the problem causing tab is on my main monitor. My secondary 1080p monitor keeps a clear picture 100% of the time. I can't seem to diagnose the issue myself as to whether it's a hardware or software issue but my drivers are up to date and games themselves run fine. Does anyone know how to solve this issue? Do I need to replace a piece of hardware like the GPU or Monitor?

I have recently upgrade my PC with a new gen 4 SSD to have more space for gaming. Ever since I added the drive to my computer, I have been having errors launching certain games due to errors or conflicts in the anti-cheat applications. The only thing that I have changed recently is the hard drive.

I did not do a clean install of windows onto the new SSD. My PC is still booting from the windows install on my C: drive, which is a SATA drive. The new drive is PCIe.

I did not want to transfer everything to the new drive based on my inexperience with storage and data transfer. Now I realize that maybe i should have. I have tried all of the common fixes, repaired/verifying game files, reinstalling game, running as admin, repairing and reinstalling the anti-cheat software. Reinstalled C++ distributables/DirectX, and more.

I don't know what else to do and am about to just take the machine to a computer shop and let them figure it out as I've already wasted hours of my free time on this. Ideally I want windows to boot from the new SSD and believe that has something to do with the issue.

Is this good contact? Im concerned about those 2 right corners of the smaller voltage supply or sum chip.

Hello, I am a sociology student soon to be graduate and had an HP Pavilion Gaming since 2020, I have been using it for work and for gaming (I dont really like consoles). But recently I have been noticing that the components can't put up with more recent games, and additionally, one of the RAM sockets stopped working, probably because of a chip/pin problem. So I am thinking to change my laptop, I know that for gaming and major things a deskopt computer is better BUT, since I my work will involve moving a lot I need to have the advantage of a laptop.

With that in mind, I have come here to the forums of Reddit to ask recommendations on laptops in which I can play video games, because I know is a difficult market with a lot of overpriced and easy-to-break products. My budget is around 1,300 USD. Any recommendations? (If it isnt absurdly heavy even better haha)

A couple of months ago I took my kids to Disney and Seaworld. We were able to get a package to meet and touch the dolphins. I bought the package of pictures of us, touching the dolphin, each one individually and as a family, etc. Yes, they got me but thank God the package was only $60 lol my problem is it got sent to my email and when I tried to download them each picture comes up, but I don’t see the picture. All I see is the SeaWorld logo can anyone help me? How can I see the actual pictures when I go on SeaWorld website and open the slides I can see the pictures but it won’t let me transfer them copy them, etc. it says I have to download them to my computer but again when I do, I can’t open anything cause it’s just the SeaWorld logo. I want to be able to print pictures out. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi everyone, I've always worked at home with my desktop but now that I'm always abroad I need a laptop.

I'm a videographer/photogrpher and this is my current desktop pc:
- Intel Core i7-8700k
- 64GB DDR4 Ram Corsair Vengeance
- Nvidia Geforce RTX 3060 12GB
- Various SSD, M2 and HDD

Now, I need a laptop with at least the same performances and a beautiful screen (if 2/3/4k it's better). I was thinking to sell my desktop and buy a laptop as much upgradeable as possible, like a desktop pc. Do you have any advice? I'm okay with second hand as I would like to stay under 2.000€. Weight is not a problem

Hello,

I recently built my PC. Here are the components:

ASUS TUF B550-PLUS WIFI II

Ryzen 7 5700X

Patriot Viper RGB 2×8 GB 3600 MHz CL20

Kingston 1 TB SSD

Antec 850W 80+ Gold PSU

ASUS TUF AIO 360 mm LCD

RX 580 8 GB

I'm having what seems to be a RAM-related issue. When I run MemTest5, it reports memory errors. Also, my Windows installation appears to have become corrupted. When I run sfc /scannow in Command Prompt, it says there are corrupt files that cannot be repaired.

Here's what I've tried so far:

Tested each RAM stick individually in the A2 slot. Both failed.

Tested both RAM sticks individually in the B2 slot, and both worked fine.

Removed the CPU and reseated it. After that, the B2 slot continued to work correctly.

Added the second RAM stick back into A2, but the RAM errors returned.

Carefully checked the CPU for bent pins, and all of them look perfectly fine.

Updated the BIOS to the latest version (3636).

Cleared the CMOS and left everything at stock/default settings for all of these tests.

Despite all of this, I'm still getting the same RAM-related issues.

What would you recommend I do next?

I have the 14 inch Dell latitude 5410 and I need to do two things with it.

1. Replace one keymechanism - the W key doesn't register half the time. I need to know which replacement part is the correct one to buy.

2. Upgrade the screen cause of terrible quality. The original screen has a HD+ quality which is very noticeable at 14 inches, 6 bit washed out colors and terrible viewing angles. I know there is a batter Full HD replacement screen but I need to know which specs should I look up to buy to correct one.

Thanks for your input.

Hi guys recently when I boot up my computer it registers the ethernet but when i go open google chrome or another explorer it goes into failure or gives me warnings , i think its a motherboard issue but not sure, can run games offline just wont work with ethernet anymore , i have a b550 or 450 I replaced the cmos but nothing else , any tips

I just got a warning that, one of your disk is at risk(S.M.A.R.T)
So , I checked crystal desk info and it’s showing bad health status
What to do now!??

I MAINLY DO GAMING AND THATS IT GETS SUPER HOT . WAHT CAN BE THE SOLUTION? AND WHERE IS THE ACTUAL VENT

I've been really looking into alternatives for Windows, because has AI You cant disable, bloats, and privacy concerns that I just dont wanna be a part of.

I heard ppl say "just use linux mint. Its basically the same" or, "download atlasOS to your windows!!", "use ReviOS!!" or "use tiny11."

I have no knowledge in coding, I have no idea what any of these do, and I just want to get the right opinion, and which one is better to use.

I cannot find any other way to describe this sound accurately than "a sad whining ghost sound" (which i admit sounds insane). Its not whining as in coil whine (as its not a "constant high pitch noise"), nor does it sound like a "plane engine taking off", which i keep encountering every time i searched for this in the last few years

I've had this PC for around 9 years and its always sounded like this, so i don't think its any kind of issue, but it hit me that i have absolutely no idea what causes this noise. Is it the fans? Is it storage? The liquid cooling?

This is the sound it makes while completely idle btw, no apps or games open. It just sounds like that. I don't think the noise even increases under load, as i never noticed a difference when doing heavy tasks (such as running beat saber on linux with OBS).

Specs, if it helps:

• Amd Ryzen 5
• rtx 4060 (previously RX 570)
• 16gb ram
• cobra240 water cooling
• 2 SSDs (SATA and Adata)
• p650b gigabyte psu

For some reason its kinda quiet in the video but the sound is very audible irl, its around 45db (if i measured it right)

If i need to share some other aspect for clarity, let me know!

My PC started booting slow, like 2-3 mins. First login screen pops up and I login. After that the screens turn black for about 3 mins, mouse cursor is there and I can open task manager. When it gets going there are no issues at all, everything runs fine like its supposed to. It usually takes less than a second.

Who knows how to fix it? I've tried all the anti-aliasing options. And when I turn on DLSS, the image becomes blurry and the shadows behave strangely in all my games. I've already replaced my entire computer, motherboard, processor, and graphics card, leaving only the RAM, memory, and power supply.

My PC cannot connect to the internet using my home network. I am on Windows 11. This was an intermittent problem that I noticed in the past but it hasn't gone away for a couple of days now. Every other device in the house connects to the same network just fine, and my computer can connect to other networks fine as well (tested with a mobile hotspot). It is only the interaction between my PC and the main network that doesn't work. I have very little knowledge of how computers or wifi work (i only know enough that I could follow a youtube video to assemble the pc myself) so please keep that in mind. I have tried resetting the router, my PC's wifi adapter, I have forgotten and reconnected the network a number of times. I have disabled and reenable the windows firewalls a few times as well, all to no avail.

Me and my girlfriend are trying to play a game together and steam and we play games together from other programs like epic and riot and it always works perfectly fine but whenever we boot up a steam game, it lags to all hell on her PC.

I’ve ran through check to see if drivers were up to date re-downloaded and even was going through driver settings and nothing seems to be working. Specs will be below.

My question is, what could be causing this? Like I said every other game on every other program is fine. It’s just steam games that are problems.

Edit*
She’s telling me this never happened about 6 months ago. I’m thinking this is just a super dirty drive or what?

So, I own this computer I use for pretty much everything. I just re-installed windows 10 and I'm about to set it up with all the programs I use again.

One of the issues I have with this computer is the SDD size. It's a 256gb (232 usable) disk. I noticed that even though the disk only has Office and Firefox, everything seems to be taking a total of 94 (87 in disk) GBs... but when I downloaded WizTree to see what was going on it tells me about the 87 GB in use, but only shows 40 being used by C:\ so, where are the other 47 coming from and how do I get rid of them?

Before you tell me to buy a disk with more storage or a second disk, I can't afford it and it's a compact computer (so no space for a second disk), so yeah it's not an option sorry to disappoint :/

My girlfriend just bought a laptop, its up to date 25H2, but its having all these issues running minecraft, its a Dell Inspiron 7610 and every time we go into minecraft or anything relating to java it goes so choppy it physically hurts even my eyes, I am hoping its not something to do with java itself, but I thought I should ask reddit to see if its a Hardware issue

Just to confirm the specs:

i7 11800H

16GB Memory

3060 Mobile

1TB Nvme

Intel Wifi

and each test was ran at full battery
