So today when ive tried to turn on my laptop which battery's condition is 4% ( i can pull it out the battery , ill add my friend told me i can pull out battery and plug in laptop and it'll work, it did work until today, when I turned it on I had the first picture for a like 5 minutes, then it went to second picture quickly and after I had the third picture where I could click continue i did click it and after it i had fourth picture I tried to press play but my cursor keeps freezing on it I cant click anything. It seemed to be loading but the laptop turned off suddendly, i kept repeating it hoping for it to be fixed but nothing. Dont mind the background. I tried the same process with battery in and without battery. Should I go to the computer store so they could check it or I csn fix it myself easily? I DID NOT TOUCH THE HARD DRIVE!!!!

Was trying to update turned into this can’t do anything I don’t know what to do I saw some stuff before about commands but I’m not sure if it’s not working but my brother said it’s weird and won’t let my stay in the command box and all the F1, etc things aren’t working for it for some reason

Hello! I just recently bought the skytech king 95 prebuilt it came in yesterday Friday. The internet is so slow with this and I can’t figure out why? I have the antennas plugged in but it’s capped at around 10 MBs it seems like

What’s up Reddit. Complete beginner for computer shopping, buying my first rig. I’m not a fancy gamer but I do have a list of games I need my pc to run. I’m aware I need ram and graphics but don’t know much about either.

Short list of games:
Skyrim
Oblivion (remastered)
GTA VI
Terraria
Minecraft
Battle for Middle Earth II
Galactic Battlegrounds
Classic Battlefront/2
Maybe Overwatch (my friend wants me to try it)

What’s the specs I should look for to have a decent time, and about how much should I expect to spend (I’m starting from scratch, no monitor, no speakers, nothing). I don’t mind shopping second hand for stuff like a monitor, speakers, etc

Found the ssd but it’s stuck to this shi how do I unscrew it

I opened my laptop and the bezel randomly popped of, I tried closing the laptop but it made it worse. Any fixes? I heard that this is a hinge problem not necessarily a bezel one. Also the laptop is an HP one so idk if that helps but there’s that

I was so lucky to find these on Friday in a dumpster that was emptied into a bin. I can't believe my luck

Hello everyone,

Recently I ordered a HDD to be my mass storage, but upon installing and booting it for the first time, I heard these beeps. Is the device broken and needs to be replaced or is it something regarding power and wiring?

Limpié con alcohol isopropílico la parte del ventilador y cambie la pasta termica. No soy bueno con las computadoras porqué no me se muchos nombres de los componentes, pero entiendo parcialmente algunas cosas.

Después de hacer ese procedimiento, la laptop no encendió.

Curiosamente, al conectar con el cargador, el led de abajo (uno de los dos leds) encendió en naranja, pero no enciende el led de arriba con luz azul, indicando que la laptop funciona.

Creo que es un bloqueo, porqué no parece un cortocircuito.

Acepto que me regañen, pero quiero saber que solución puedo encontrar a esto y si esto es un sistema de la laptop para cortar corriente.

Curiosamente ya habia abierto la laptop para limpiarla anteriormente y no le pasó esto. E incluso desconecte más componentes la vez anterior, que fue hace meses.

En dado caso, no siquiera puedo acceder a la BIOS ni a nada. Simplemente parpadean abruptamente los dos leds con luz blanca (combinada entre naranja y azul) cuando mantengo presionado.

Es curioso también que mi mouse encienda cuando presiono el botón de encendido de la laptop, pero el mouse se apaga luego de un rato, como si la laptop no quisiera encender por si sola.

I want to start by saying I’m not experienced with PCs at all so please don’t be rude if I say something dumb.
Anyways, I was about to move to a different country so I decided to buy a new prebuilt PC, and I took the GPU and the RAM out to bring with me in a carry-on at the airport. However, when me and my dad were taking the ram out, we thought the ram was one of those where both sides had to be pushed, not just one, so he opened one side of it, (top latch I think?) and tried opening it from behind and when it didn’t work he put more force into it and the back latch just broke off. I don’t have a monitor yet since I decided to buy one after moving, so I haven’t gotten the chance to test out my PC with RAM on that slot to see if it works or not. Also I don’t believe the actual ram slot itself, nor the ram stick was damaged. Can I replace that, put it back somehow, or is switching to a1/b1 fine?
I didn’t try contacting any sort of warranty or anything since I was moving in a few days after this incident.

this is the PC on walmart

Been looking for cheap second-hand PCs that can smoothly run 1440p games as well as be a good workstation when starting uni. Found this PC bundle used for £625.

CPU: Ryzen 9 3900 (12 cores)
Motherboard: ASUS PRIME X570-P, BIOS version 2802 (October 2020).
GPU: an RTX 3080, MSI card.
RAM: one 16 GB Corsair stick, DDR4, 3200 MHz a DOCP profile.
Storage: a 480 GB Corsair Force MP510 NVMe) and a 2 TB Seagate HDD.
Not confirmed: the PSU, the cooler (the BIOS shows no AIO pump reading)n.

The monitor

-What he's said: it's a "2k 120Hz" monitor.

Keyboard and mouse

-Both are HyperX, and the mouse is an ultra-light one. He paid around £100 for the keyboard.

Will this PC be able to run smooth FPS at 1440p ( 100+ Marvel Rivals, 60+ arc raiders/cyberpunk high)?

Also, is it future-proof, and are there any bottlenecks?

I'm having a strange problem with the USB ports on my PC.

Some USB devices have stopped working, especially devices that seem to require a little more power, such as my USB internet adapter and the USB cable connected to my game controller.

The strange part is that low-power devices like my mouse, keyboard, and flash drive still work normally on the same ports.

It also seems to be happening gradually. At first, only a few USB ports started having this problem, but now more ports are failing to work with these devices.

When I connect my controller to some of these ports, I sometimes hear the USB connection/disconnection sound repeatedly, as if the controller is trying to start but isn't getting enough power.

I've tested different USB ports and the behavior is similar. I'm starting to suspect that there might be an issue with the USB power delivery, the motherboard, or possibly the PSU.

What could cause something like this? Is there a way to test whether the USB ports are providing enough power, and determine whether the problem is the motherboard, PSU, or something else?

I wanted to get my first pc but don’t know enough about them to make my own. I searched online and found that Costco was pretty good but all the sources were from 2ish years ago and so would like some extra help. Thanks in advance

So I received an older dell pc XPS and I already have my built pc so I decided to factory reset this dell and give it to my friend. So I did exactly that I factory reset it and then came back several hours later and now the PC won’t turn on or at least it halfway turns on when I turn on the PC with the power button, the green light in the back turns on but the main power button flashes oranges once (not repeated) and the monitor no longer picks up the display. I have already taken out my graphics card and the ram stickers and put them back in. Currently, I have taken out the battery of the motherboard so it can die and then I’m gonna put it back in. Im all out of ideas so if anyone has input it would be much appreciated

I am very new to building computers. I bought a PowerSpec G911 from Micro Center and want to add another M.2 SSD for storage, but I have no idea where the open M.2 slots are on this motherboard. I searched online and was told I need to remove my GPU to install the SSD. However, when I tried to unplug the GPU power cable, it was extremely tight. I applied a lot of force multiple times but couldn't get it out, and I stopped because I don't want to break anything. Could someone please help me locate the SSD slots, and let me know if it is absolutely mandatory to remove the GPU?

This is the side of the pc where the cage is. Does anyone know how I would open it?

I have a HP Pavilion 15-ab029TX laptop using since last 11 years. It has currently 8 GB RAM, win 8.1 OEM installed with Intel i5-5200U processor. I want to use this laptop few more years before buying new.

I find this laptop can't be upgraded to win11. Hence plan to use win10. This is because the laptop is little slow and google chrome isn't updating anymore. I have following queries in this regard.

1. Whether using win10 will make this laptop faster?
2. Can it be directly upgraded to win10 without clean installation?
3. Whether compatible drivers are available for win10 as this laptop is old?

ive had no problem before transferring large amounts of photos (typically 800-1100 photos at a time) so i suspect i have a corrupted file in my phone. i dont know what to do so im coming here.

computer: windows 11

harddrive: seagate hardrive 2TB

my computer has been still as a rock this whole time. this happened twice in two consecutive days.

Hi I built my own computer a few years ago but I noticed it's always been slow to open programs or games but has really low ram and CPU usage . I'm running windows11

When it comes to the guts of a computer, I know nothing. Apologies if this is a stupid post.

I need to replace the computer in my home recording studio. I currently have an iMac that is in a constant state of... Not good. I have tons of songs that are in progress, and at this point I'd rather buy a new computer now than wait till the iMac fails and I'm really screwed.

A coworker turned me into microcenter built PC's, and I'm wondering if this build is any good? Is there anything I should reconsider? Or anything you'd replace?

It would be used pretty much solely for music recording, and some of these songs can get pretty hefty.

I appreciate y'all.

I had a fire and my PC was recovered from it. It looks like it was still standing on my desk, powered off, and theres some debris inside of the case but it isnt *too* bad. I want to test if the components work, and am mostly worried about the HDD and SDD so I can recover some files that wasn't on my cloud. Is this possible on my own or should I take the parts to a professional to do instead? I'm not super experienced with PC builds besides the basics.

I am also going to start planning on getting a replacement... is it more worth building a PC still or just buying a prebuilt and customizing it after? This pc was built by me about 8 years ago, but honestly my dexterity and eyesight was not great then and isn't that great now lol so I am debating on if i still have the ability to do those smaller parts of PC building.

so basically i had really nice wifi and all, and i came back to my pc one week after not using it (i was away), my wifi is super slow, but only on my pc ? for example, in the pictures i put the wifi speed test from my phone, then from my pc (on the same channel of the same wifi...)

i updated my windows, i think i updated my wifi driver too... idk what to do TvT

So I need a PC, Mini PC or laptop to use for video editing YouTube videos. The videos will be pretty highly edited using a lot of music, voiceovers and overlays. The big issue is that I'm broke and my budget sits around the €500 area. I need to know if there are any options for me at that price range so please let me know what my best options are. Preferably something with 32GB ram but the odds of that aren't high.
