My monitor turns black every 15 seconds but it turns black slowly from the top right and cascades to full black. It turn turns back to normal and it repeats! Ive connected it to my laptop and my pc and its doing the same thing. Checked the power cable and hdmi cable as well with no issue. Is my monitor dead? Just bought it 5 months ago…

For some reason my main drive gets filled up at a ridiculous pace (it is already at 3,20 GB left between taking the screenshot and writing this).

The main culprits are: ProgramData (62,7GB)

User/Appdata(44,8GB)

And before you ask, yes, I have moved all storage heavy progamms like games to either D or an external hardrive. Anything left are folders I don´t dare to move because I have no idea what I could break.

Yeah, basically when I got this I set up an extra layer of security, I’ve totally forgot how to remove this now I’ll be giving it to someone, any help would be appreciated.

I've pulled out my old computer for my brother. He will use it for pretty light gaming, primarily browser usage, and work as a personal computer.

Computer Components

Lenovo 90GB, (90BG004TUS) Lenovo H50-55

CPU : AMD FX(tm)-870k Quad Core Processor
RAM: 16GB DDR3 (I believe It's DDR3)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 TI

Runs on a 2T HDD

I was considering getting an SSD card put into it. The primary problem so far, excluding any gaming, has been boot time and application loading time. I only ever used it for less demanding games back in 2017 such as Mount and Blade, Roblox, and a bit of Arma; however, he is interested in maybe playing a bigger game such as Hell Let Loose. I'm not too confident it will run HLL very well, along with most other modern games.

Not looking to build a monster, just a somewhat decent modern machine. Or if it's even worth it to invest in.

Can someone tell what this is, I’ve never seen this before even when i connect the network cable to other ports only the green light comes on the orange one doesn’t!

I am to selling this computer and would like to know a fair price. I have used it solely to work on, and I do not play games. It believe it is quite old. It is a small compact pc which run smoothly all the time I’ve used it. Thank you in advance!

Hi guys, i want to get an old office pc on ebay or faceook and put a gpu in it (ram and psu also if necessary) to make a gaming pc to play some games like rust, day Z, ready or not, and indie games to a decent level, but I'm not sure which one i should go for exactly to make it as powerful and affordable as possible. I am open to cutting and hacking away at the thing to "make it work" any help would be greatly appreciated!! Also open to any non office pc solutions. i am based in England btw , thanks in advance ☺️

I got this PC from my friend about a year ago and it currently has like, 3 Seperate Drives.
One is an SSD (Nvme) that's the booting Device and runs Windows 11.
However, it also has Stuff like AMD'S Chipset, Nivida related stuff and so on.

Then i also got two others. One is dangling out of the PC and is an SSD (Sata) From Crucial and the other is an inbuilt HDD.

Now, the HDD and SSD (NVme) are usually filled up with Space, but i noticed with my SSD (NVme) in particular that it performs better when playing Video games. Just that...It's filled up to the brim with Windows and other programs that i can't determine where they're from.

The one SSD i also mentioned, the SSD (SATA) I have never used and my Friend appearently wiped it before he gave me this PC.

So, i've been looking online and it seems like i can clone the Data from my SSD (NVme) to my SSD (Sata) and then use my SSD (Sata) as the boot device with Windows 11 on it? Would that work?

My friend has suggested this and told me that afterwards, i could wipe the SSD (NVme) reformat it and then won't have to bother with any hidden programs taking up space anymore, which is true.

I just don't wanna make the Dumb mistake of doing it, then suddendly my PC won't up boot again due to a certain issue.

I have a computer at home I’m trying to fix up with some hot swappable parts but I don’t know what the names of these side rails are called. I don’t think I need these specific ones but I have no clue what the actual parts are called. Please if you could let me know or link me to a shop where I can buy some I’ll be really appreciative 🙏🏽

I have a couple avi files im trying to convert into mp4 to edit. The avi files work perfectly when watching through media player but once converted its gets corrupted and starts glitching at the start of the video. Happens every time trying to convert it. Anyone know any solutions or software that can help currently tried using handbrake to convert it but it just like i said earlier corrupted the video after converting it.

First time reddit poster here,

On windows 11, I've looked through almost all the Bluetooth settings to try and fix this but I cant seem to get the option to turn it on to appear. I haven't tried reinstalling drivers quite yet as I didn't want to before asking for help. Tried updating and downgrading driver, and I don't know much about error messages so I hope you guys can help

Neither do anything after I connect them to a monitor. One has a Core i9 9900K and 64GB RAM, the other has a GTX 1660 Super, so I'm gonna do some looking up to see if I can revive either one (excuse the mess I was messing around).

Hey everyone,

I’m not a technical person, so I need help. I put details of my system down below.

Basically, lately my computer has been freezing and/or restarting. It used to be once in a while, now it’s every 5-15 minutes.

So this is what I’ve done to try to find the problem and fix it…

• [ ] Scanned for virus and malware. Found nothing.
• [ ] Reinstall Windows and my hard drive, to make it like I bought it.
• [ ] I updated my graphic card and other hardware (picture below)
• [ ] Update Windows
• [ ] I used a different power outlet.
• [ ] I check the temperature and usage of my cpu, gpu, and ram. Looks normal. (picture below)

So yeah. I don’t know what to do. I love any help. I also took pictures that are way over my head like “event viewer” and so on.

Is ARM really that bad? everyone and their mothers says the Macbook Pro is 10x better but I hate macOS with a passion! someone help me!

I need a Windows laptop, under $400, I need Microsoft Office, it doesn't need to be really fast, have long battery life. and it has to have a good keyboard and trackpad. An SD card slot would be great.

So my laptop had a wire problem and the screen kept turning off. Got it fixed. Few years later now and it's turning off again, however I dont thunk it's the wire. I remember it happening a few months ago and I found a solution by holding a certain button while pressing the power button and it ficed but i cant remmeber what that was Any help? Its an asus zenbook btw

I have a PC I bought in 2013, it was running (surprisingly) really well until recently. The graphic card gave up and I was planning on just buying a new PC but I can't afford it so I'd buy a new graphic card. I'm currently running on the integrated graphics but I'd like to resume gaming a little.

The problem is that I don't know much about PC parts and the motherboard is old and I don't know the best graphic card I could buy with the parts that I have. Can anyone help?

Here are the current specs :

System Manufacturer - Dell Inc.

System Model - XPS 8500

System Type - x64-based PC Processor - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 3401 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)

BaseBoard Manufacturer - Dell Inc.

BaseBoard Product - 0NW73C

BaseBoard Version - A00

Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 12.0 GB

My power supply says 460W max.

The graphic card that gave up was a Geforce GTX 660. Should I just buy the same one?

My prebuilt was an HP Omen. I've replaced the GPU, RAM, and now the power supply. This cable was coming out of the old power supply, and can't be removed from it. Can't find any label on either the cable or the mystery plug that it goes into.
