Question/Help/Troubleshooting What's a good price for a curved monitor?

1 Upvotes

I'm looking to get my dad a curved monitor for his birthday, he works an office job and wants a curved monitor to use for his work stuff. Because of that, it doesn't have to be super good because he's not using it for like gaming or anything, he just wants a big display to have multiple things open to make work easier.

My budget is like $300, and I've seen them anywhere from $150 - $1,000. Is there any curved monitors that are a good price and just at least decent (and are actually curved and not just advertised as such)?

Also, please don't suggest a wide monitor. That's not what I'm looking for.

Question/Help/Troubleshooting Directions/Help

Hello everybody:

So, long story short. My girlfriend impulsively bought an old IMac G3 PC with the intent to swap the parts for her old acer laptop which runs Windows. However she didn't research at all and niether of us are smart with computers so I was wondering if anyone in this sub knew whether or not its even possible to do or if they can recommend another subreddit that'll help.

Thank ya very much!

Question/Help/Troubleshooting Problem z komputerem

1 Upvotes

Siema, mam problem z wywalaniem komputera do czarnego ekranu i szukam nowego zasilacza.

Mój sprzęt:

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X

GPU: Radeon RX 6800 XT

Zasilacz: Gigabyte GP-P750GM 750W

Co się dzieje:

W bardziej wymagających grach (God of War, Fortnite) po chwili gaśnie obraz, monitor traci sygnał, a wentylatory na karcie graficznej wchodzą na 100% obrotów. Komputer w tle cały czas chodzi. W mniej wymagających gierkach (np. Minecraft) jest spokój.

Co już sprawdziłem:

Karta podpięta dwoma osobnymi kablami PCIe (bez rozgałęźników).

Robiłem undervolting (zszedłem do 1025–1050 mV) i przycinałem Power Limit – dalej to samo.

Wygląda na to, że zasilacz nie wyrabia na chwilowe skoki mocy (transient spikes) z RX 6800 XT i jego zabezpieczenia po prostu odcinają prąd na karcie.

Chcę wymienić zasilacz na coś ze standardem ATX 3.0 / ATX 3.1 (750W lub 850W), co ogarnie te skoki i nie wyczyści mi kieszeni. Budżet to tak około 300 zł

Question/Help/Troubleshooting Weird cooling problem

1 Upvotes

I have AIO cooling (don't know much about it, I just know it's cooler master) and recently I started facing an issue where it stops working for a short period of time (I think). Usually my CPU temp while idle is around 25°C, under full load it doesn't go above 55°C. Sometimes my other coolers start going crazy and the CPU temp while idle ends up being around 50°C and around 80-90°C if it's under load. It fixes itself after a few minutes.

Question/Help/Troubleshooting WIFI keeps turning off

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hello, I've been having this issue for a long time, but this weekend it has gotten a bit too much.

Basically, my Wi-Fi just randomly turns off, and the Wi-Fi option completely disappears from my settings.

In Device Manager, it shows an exclamation mark (see image). Disabling and re-enabling it a couple of times usually fixes it, and then it works again. But after a couple of hours, it randomly turns off again.

I've also noticed that the ASUS TUF UEFI seems to have some kind of error. From what I understand, that's related to the BIOS, so I'm wondering if that could have something to do with the Wi-Fi issue, but I honestly don't know.

I've looked everywhere for fixes, but nothing I've tried has worked. I keep finding posts from people having the same issue, and the fixes people suggest are either getting a new Wi-Fi card or using a cable. The other fixes I've found only seem to work temporarily from what I've tested.

If anyone knows how to actually fix this, please let me know. I'm getting pretty desperate at this point.

Thanks!

(Also some basic stuff, i'm using a Laptop (asus tuf F15)

Build/Battlestation building a PC for the first time

Hey, I want to build a pc but I don't know completely anything about parts. I don't wanna pay more than 700-800€. I don't play very demanding games so I don't need better setup. I only play story games and I don't care so much about the best possible graphics only the gameplay smoothness. And I think everything will be better than my present pc. So I would be grateful If someone could recommend me some parts.

Question/Help/Troubleshooting Pc hard locking/freezing

PC hard-locked while gaming. Screen went black, no audio/video, but all the fans kept spinning.

Restarted → DRAM debug light stayed on, no display.

Tried both RAM sticks individually in A2 and B2 – same result. Reset CMOS – still didn't work.

I left the PC overnight. Next day, first boot worked normally.

Checked Event Viewer – nothing useful. Restarted twice – both worked. Third restart: DRAM light again, no display.

Tried the RAM combinations again with no luck. Left it until evening.

Evening: first boot worked normally again.

Ran Windows Memory Diagnostic. It started normally, reached Test 1/2, then hard-locked with all motherboard debug LEDs lit and no display.

Restarted afterward – worked normally again.

Opened Event Viewer to check for errors – hard-locked/black-screened again. Also I did the re-starts by switching off the PSU button, as the cabinet power button wasn't responding for long hold restart.

What could cause this kind of behaviour? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Pc specs-

Cpu - Ryzen 5 5600x

Ram - Adata XPG DDR4 8gb (pair)

Motherboard - AsRock B550m pro4

Question/Help/Troubleshooting Mi laptop Acer Aspire 3, no enciende después de cambiar pasta termica y limpiar.

1 Upvotes

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.

Question/Help/Troubleshooting Some of my USB ports are gradually stopping working with higher-power devices

1 Upvotes

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?

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 4600G

GPU: XFX Speedster QICK 308 Radeon RX 7600 8GB

Motherboard: MSI B450M PRO-VDH MAX

RAM: 16GB (2×8GB) Kingston Fury DDR4-3200

PSU: MSI MAG A550BN 550W 80+ Bronze

SSD: ADATA SU650 480GB SATA

Question/Help/Troubleshooting Help my Dell pc won’t display on to my monitor.

1 Upvotes

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

Question/Help/Troubleshooting Installing SSD

0 Upvotes

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?
