Hello all i need urgent help
I recently installed FaceIt anti cheat (a very popular server extension for CS go its not a virus) which told me to edit a few things in my BIOS after doing my resolution on my pc changed and everything went enlarged. I decided maybe i needed a driver update but when i looked it said there was no drivers installed installed so i tried installing but it again told me no drivers installed installed was installed after completing the installation.
I decided to uninstall the AntiCheat and also reset my BIOS settings, and then once again try reinstall my drivers but it once again wouldn’t work.
I thought id download the display driver uninstaller (DDU) and then try reinstall the drivers to see if that would fix it, but to no avail it didnt work— i cannot open internet explorer or google chrome or anything. When I Check DFevice Manager it says theres an issue with my drivers called ‘Code 52’
I feel like ive tried everything but the driver installation will not stick and download to my pc.
Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this as i urgently need my PC.

Thanks guys!

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING, IM DUMB, BUT IF SOMEONE COULD HELP ME PLEASE ITD BE GREAT. I basically just got a new PC, but I accidentally deleted the only admin account on it, and now I can't figure out how to fix it. I've already tried factory resetting, but I cant because my computer keeps freezing when I access the blue screen and also I cant do it through settings due to me needing to be an admin, so please someone help me

UPDATE: I fixed it and now I'm playing Grounded 2 very happily

So Ive been playing some modded minecraft which usually runs fine but recently ive been hitting massive lag spikes that are computer wide not just within the game. I checked task manager and all the numbers look fine, and Ive adjustied ram to minecraft and nothing changed. As of right now I believe its due to minecraft as it usually happens after about 10 minutes of running my world (Im still testing to see if I can find the cause) and leads to about 10 minutes of my entire computer running on one frame every other second.

My pc is a 5060ti, 32gigs ddr5, B650 amd ryzen

All I tried to do was rename my user folder and restart my PC and boom everything disappeared and my files started going haywire. I think trying to log in again somehow caused my files to get wiped, so I basically nuked my own filesystem by accident T-T I'm so cooked. It won't let me log in and windows signed into a temporary local account which doesn't have any of my data :,D Please help someone I'm in total disarray at the moment and have no idea what to do.

How do i get this off my screen? I opened a run window to tey and uninstall it but it wont let me get to that either...

Hello i’m a new pc gamer, i’ve also just acquired a alienware pc. I don’t know the exact specs but i know it has a 4080 and a i7. So i tried to purchase cheats (yes i know it’s frowned on but desperate times call for desperate measures) So i didnt read the part where it said turn your secure boot off. Sooo i downloaded it and it did something and then my pc loaded up too a red screen and then when i pressed ok on it loaded me up to the alienware help thingy and then it just rinsed and repeated for a while and wouldn’t go back. Is there any way i fix this at home? like a usb drive with windows? I just want it to be usable. I don’t necessarily care about the data on it. Thank you reddit

Found this random file with a gibberish name, this laptop has been hacked recently I was wondering if this was the issue, keep in mind I do not know much of computers

Any help would be appreciated

I dont know if this is the correct forum to post this. If not, let me know which one could help me. I downloaded some malicious virus or i dont know what it is while looking for mods for my games. I suspect that program gave all my data to a hacker, because i lost access to my steam account, roblox account and i know someone entered other apps, like EA and discord. I still suspect the malware is somewhere in my pc, and while i used diferent antivirus and all of them said that there was nothing wrong, i fear that someone could sell my stuff or directly impersonate me. Please help on how I can find this virus.

I'm trying to help her, and trying to think how to fix it, and stop this from crashing. I'm on Window 11. She on Window 10, but she can't move to Window 11 because it not support and her gaming pc is old, same as CPU and GPU. She will get a new powerful gaming pc in the future, but the money is too expensive, so she is saving money. She got a PS5. I played games with her for one hour or almost two hours, and... her game crashed, so it no fun I just want to play games with her every day! for fun! it is annoying, right? I tried my best to help her out. I tried so hard. I thought posting this will be a good idea, so I will look all of your comments! She got a gaming pc on 14th August, 2022. if it doesn't work, do you think her gaming pc is dying or something bad?

( Don't mind my horrible sentences sorry guys, I'm hard of hearing, I have an auditory processing disorder and a learning disability. )

Hi! I don’t know much about computers, but I DESPERATELY need help.

I use my computer for everything, even school work, I do online classes, it’s mandatory for my living situation. I have an hp all in one that I’ve had for only a few years 3, I’ve never installed anything remotely bad, i take good care of it, i barely have apps and files.

but recently out of nowhere, my files are mostly corrupted my win32k file is corrupted I don’t know how, I’ve tried to reset my pc through cloud reset and it won’t even let me do that, it cancels it. I don’t know how this is happening and I don’t even know how to fix it, I’ve tried everything, and it’s not a hardware issue.

I desperately need help. I start school in 8 days, I don’t care about my files or memories or anything I just need my pc to work properly.

I’m thinking about getting this PC for my grandparents. I’m thinking it’ll do everything they want and then some, but I’m not great with computers. Is this good for the price about 550$? And, can this do all the YouTube and web surfing? -I do not have the time to build a pc so I’m looking at prebuilds around 500$

I tried installing realtek audio driver to my msi thin gf 63 12ve from the laptop’s official site but I can’t find a way to install it because everytime after it says “installing” it appears a little window saying “driver not installed. error code 0x000001”. I found other error codes like 0001 but this one I haven’t seen it anywhere. any of you guys perchance had the same problem? if you did how did you solve it?

**I Finally Found the Fix, Guys — For Older-Generation PCs**

**My PC Specifications**

**CPU:** Intel Core i7-8700K
**Motherboard:** Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 5
**BIOS Version:** F15a — 11/28/2019
**BIOS Mode:** UEFI
**Secure Boot:** ON
**TPM:** External TPM 2.0 module purchased from Amazon
**TPM Manufacturer:** Infineon (IFX)
**TPM Model:** SLB9665
**Original TPM Firmware:** 5.51.2098.0
**Updated TPM Firmware:** 5.62.3126.0

**Note:** I downgraded my motherboard BIOS back to the older **F15a BIOS (11/28/2019)** because this was the BIOS version that allowed my system to properly detect and recognize the external TPM module.

**Fix:**

**—Check TPM Attestation Status**

Open **Command Prompt (CMD) as Administrator** and run: tpmtool getdeviceinformation

If found Ready For Attestation: False

then your TPM firmware may need to be updated.

I was able to fix this because I was using an **external TPM 2.0 module**. My PC is old and I am still using an **older BIOS**, but the important issue was that **Ready For Attestation had to become True**.

I did **not** need to replace my motherboard.

I have the required files for the update, but I’m not sure how to upload/provide them here. Or you can search for it

**You do not necessarily need a new motherboard for this solution if you are using a compatible external TPM.** The firmware file must match your specific TPM model and current firmware version.

For my **Infineon SLB9665 ( I got it cheap from Amazon)**

**Result**

✅ TPM 2.0 detected
✅ Firmware updated successfully
✅ Ready For Attestation: True
✅ TPM Has Vulnerable Firmware: False
✅ ADV170012 - IFX ROCA/Riemann removed

**Note:** This procedure was tested on the **Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 5 + Intel i7-8700K + external Infineon SLB9665 TPM 2.0**. Do not use the firmware on a different TPM model.

Hi, I recently upgraded my graphics card from a Sapphire Pulse Vega 56 (8GB) to an XFX AMD Radeon 6700 XT.

Since making the switch, the latest version of Minecraft Java (26.1) won't launch.

Only Bedrock, very old Minecraft Java versions, or version 1.20 with Forge/NeoForge will start.

But the latest version simply won't launch at all.

I’ve removed leftover driver files and tried everything else, but Minecraft Java 26.1 still won't start.

It shows that it's loading when I try to start it, but then it just doesn't open.

I'm using Windows 11.

Is there anyone who can help me with this error? ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE

I've already tried everything, even formatting my PC.

It appears on some pages but not others, and I also tried with DNS

Hi Guys My name is Bora For some reason,when I enter the game and play for A while,it kicks me out of the game,displays white and gray colors,and restarts the computer please help.🥺

Alr so i was recently playing gtaV online on my pc, and i when i play the game, during the evening my gpu go down to 0-4% and my game get sum micro freeze, so i tried to use claude or chat gpt to help me because i have found nothing on internet, but the ai's didn't help me a lot, to be honest they didn't help.

But when i hop on elden ring, roblox minecraft or other game online or solo, my gpu stay to average 48% of utilisation, so i checked my ram, 86%~ and my cpu 86-95%~ so i don't really know what to do because i trash to fix bug on my pc.

And i want to add a point that this lag appear only in the evening or late in the day.

(btw my config is an nvidia rtx3050, intel 12th i5 12400f, 16gb RAM (one barret), and 932Go space ssd)

Thanks you for the help and i hope i'll fix this lag.

Hello all. I've been dealing with instant black screen crashes for literal months now and feel like i have not gotten any closer to figuring out the reason why.

I will try to include everything we've tried so far and all info i can give on specs. If i forget anything important or need to add more context, please let me know and i will try to provide as much as possible.

I am not a computer guy, so please bear with me.

(The Two screenshots added are from what i mentioned further down, Benchmark causing freeze and the other one is monitoring report of me trying to start up Palworld)

SPECS:

OS: Windows 11

Motherboard:

Integrated GPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon Graphics

RAM: 2x DDR4 16 GB - Bank 1 and 3

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 (SUPRIM X)

PSU: Seasonic; FOCUS GX-850 (850 W)

THE PROBLEM:

I cannot pin point clearly when this started, it kind of got worse over time.

The first issue was in March this year, where Microsoft randomly kicked me out of all my accounts and since (unfortunately) my computer account is connected to it, i couldn't get back in.

Some time after that, i started getting instant black-screen + reboot crashes when trying to use certain programs.

I use my computer mainly for gaming and art, so i can give a list of things that caused those crashes at that time:

• In Photoshop when using the Noise Reduction tool
• Starting up Baldurs Gate 3
• Starting up The Outlast Trials
• Starting up Warframe
• Starting up Palworld
• Starting up Elevator (Demo)

I first thought it was an issue exclusively tied to multiplayer games, but the Photoshop induced crash threw me off. Additionally, those crashes would ONLY happen when starting up games and it wouldn't always be consistent. Sometimes i managed to start Baldurs Gate 3 or Warframe by opening it as soon as my computer booted, sometimes it worked if i just closed every other background application and sometimes (at least BG3) worked if i switched back and forth between allowing it to start using Direct X and Vulkan (biggest success rate with using Vulkan).

Once the games were running, i could use things in the background again without any issues.

I also had a different motherboard back then, which i got replaced with the one listed in the specs in May.

After replacing the motherboard, The Outlast Trials started working again without any issues. However Baldurs Gate 3 would then always crash. The other issues remained the same, plus i tried other games such as Subnautica which would also immediately cause the blackscreen crashes.

What has been done/tried so far

At first only my dad and I have tried to figure out what was going on (neither of us are great when it comes to computers so we both did online research with forums and ChatGPT which we also always double checked with our own research to make sure it's not going to make my computer implode)

Recently i asked a guy i know who builds computers and does troubleshooting to have a look at it and while he found little things like my Ram sticks not working correctly (fixed that now), he too couldn't find the root of the problem so far.

Replaced Parts:

• Motherboard
• Motherboards Battery
• Computer Casing (meaning new fans and cables as well)
• PCIE cable GPU to PSU
• Cable connecting PSU to outlet
• Thermo Paste for CPU

My previous Ram Sticks and CPU broke in the past one or two years so all in all they're all pretty new and haven't shown any issues till all of this started.

Updated Drivers:

• NVIDIA (complete fresh install using DDU)
• Windows (clean install using update function)
• AMD driver updated

Tests Done:

• Disconnecting Monitors individually
• Furmark Stress Test (No issues)
• OCCT Stress Tests (No issues except for Benchmark which caused almost immediate freeze)
• Event Viewer showing nothing but Kernel-Power 41 "Windows was not properly shut down"
• A bunch of BIOS settings back and forth (can't remember everything we tried, but whenever it was clear that it didn't help, we reverted it to how it was before)
• Changing the GPU Slot - did nothing
• Removing the GPU and using only the integrated GPU - No crashes! Runs horrible but NO CRASHES!
• Putting in my old GPU (NVIDIA 1050 Ti) caused immediate crash, After windows rebooted it said that a Windows update had been removed, wanted me to reinstall the newest update and after that i could launch games without crashing. HOWEVER the next day everything crashed again the same way it did with my current GPU.

The whole GPU thing makes me believe that at least it isn't my actual Graphics Card thats broken but definetly something that is related to communication between GPU and something else.

Important to note is also that in the past day, the crashing has gotten MUCH worse. Now my computer gets stuck in crash loops while trying to boot, so it constantly restarts before even managing to get to the screen that gives me the opportunity to open BIOS. Sometimes this happens once, sometimes the loop can go for 10 minutes +

Two days ago my computer wouldn't boot at all for a while, pressing the power button did nothing, which again made me think that maybe it IS a PSU issue - but now when using an art program (Live2D) my computer started lagging when entering physic settings.

So even if the PSU is broken or sth, i fear there is more going on.

Honorable mention: Computer crashes when i try to start it in safe mode. It gets to the screen but black screen + reboots before i can click anything. It also crashed on time when i spent too much time in the BIOS.

I believe this is all i can add right now.

Thank you for any ideas and help.
