my desktop has been having trouble running even the simplest of games on a 3060, and my memory is almost full constantly, and i've also downloaded some stagnant files on my computer i dont use anymore, most being browser games and the like. I've chatted with my friends who are versed in the topic and they suggested i reset my PC and install tiny11 or linux, which im not entirely dreading either option.

i just want to know how i should go about things before i eventually reset my PC,
I mainly use my pc for gaming, and i dont know which OS is better for my uses, i know linux is difficult to learn to say the least, and windows is at best, a solid OS... once you've spent like an hour removing bloatware by downloading software to remove that bloatware.

i want to avoid making any of the same mistakes i made when i first setup my desktop, so if you have any software/app recommendations they would be very welcome. (i will research them before downloading them)

i've owned my pc for a little over 2 years now, and the specs are:
CPU - intel i5-12400F
RAM - 16GB DDR4
GPU - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060
WiFi - 6 AX201 160MHz

and just for a little context, heres what my task manager looks like:

My laptop gets open with random tabs automatically. Without my knowledge. Why does this happen randomly?

Last year in rainy season also same situation happened with me. When I showed to the technician he told me that my keyboard is broken means it's got caught with the moisture that's why it's behaving like this.

And now again same problem with me laptop in rainy season. Why? I didn't took my laptop out of my room only. Why this problem all of a sudden?

After coming home from a vacation weird shit started going on with my pc, first the activate windows popped up (I've had this for 3 years) and WiFi wouldn't connect after pressing network reset in advanced network settings and restarting my pc it worked.

Then i noticed it was notably slower realized it switched to the 2.4ghz band so i went to switch my preferred band to 5ghz (I've always used 5ghz and only now its not working) but nothing would happen it was like there was no WiFi but it said it was connected and secured and it would connect and reconnect on it's own.

I've tried everything I SWEAR reinstalling both WiFi and Bluetooth drivers, changing settings of my network adapter, changing router settings all that jazz.

I think my only options right now are to purchase a new network adapter or wait for advice, if you have ANYTHING that i could use i will try it.

Thanks.

When i put my pc into sleep mode when i left for a few hours I came home to see my pc only using one monitor, for some reason my main monitor using a display port cable which is connected on both ends isn't working, I tested all of the ports in my graphics card and since I only have one for HDMI for my second monitor I can't change it. I checked using the HDMI that the monitor still works as intended just that it's showing up as not active in my settings using display port, please if anyone has a fix for this I would be very appreciative.

So I was downloading a game on steam and when I came back my monitor went black. So I tried turning off the pc (power button) however that didn’t work. I decided to just hit the off switch to turn it off. After that I boot up windows again and everything became slow and my disk usage was at a 100%. After some attempts at fixing this by disabling an option that is supposed to reduce disk usage it stopped being able to boot up to windows and just gets stuck at the motherboard logo. I attempted a clean install however when booting up the USB through bios it just infinitely loads or hangs. And booting up from default just leaves me at the motherboard logo with no loading circle. I’ve tried re seating ram, clearing cmos, every USB slot. Could the SSD just be corrupted?

Hello everyone,

I work on a company computer and every time I try to access websites like YouTube or Instagram, I get this message:

>

I’m using Google Chrome on a corporate network, so I assume it’s a firewall or network policy restriction.

I’m not trying to bypass anything, I just want to understand:

• Is there any legitimate way to request access or exceptions for certain sites?
• Or is this something only the IT administrator can change?
• Could it be related to Chrome settings or just the network itself?

Any clarification would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Is it possible for someone to put a malware (RAT) in our devices without them getting physically close us or our devices and sending us links or files to download? Like remotely putting a malware (RAT)?

is there a way to get rid of them? Can they also see what you are doing when your phone is offline? is factory reset enough or should just buy a new one? The thought of someone being able to see what I am doing in my phone is bothering since I value my privacy.

EDITED (added more questions)

i turned my computer off last night after a day of not using it, i woke up this morning to turn it on and it would just keep looping the same cycle, fans would spin up, RGB on case fans would turn on, then the RAM rgb would flash, and then the PC would power down and the cycle would continue a couple more times until it would power on fully, but nothing would be output to my monitors. After reading it could be something with the PSU i unplugged it and let it sit to drain the power for 20 minutes, after coming back to try it again, the pc will no longer power on. ive tried reaching out to IBP support but they are not available today for the 4th of july holiday. I sent an email so now i can just await a response.

any help would be nice, my late father bought me this pc as a graduation gift and i would like to try to preserve it as much as possible, or fix it to be back to what it was yesterday.

*Edit* Well, if anyone else is experiencing something similar, reset your CMOS battery. Took mine out for 20 minutes, popped it back in and my pc boots!

I installed the latest windows update last week and now my PC takes forever to open any application. My company uses various security tools including Docontrol for SaaS monitoring but that was installed for months without issues.The slowdown started immediately after the update, task manager shows my disc usage at 100% constantly even when nothing is running.

Has anyone experienced this after the recent windows patch?

I swapped ssd on my I buy power pc with a z790c motherboard and tried starting it. Then the bios popped up got scared and then changed back to old ssd. Now when I go to boot up I get secure boot violation and i can’t fix pls help!!

Hey everyone,

I accidentally spilled some Yakult on my HP laptop keyboard, and now several keys have completely stopped working.

The affected keys are:
A, S, D, J, K, L, and Enter.

The laptop is an HP laptop with a 13th Gen Intel Core i5 processor. Everything else seems to work fine—it's just these keys.

I suspect the Yakult got underneath the keyboard. Since it's a sugary drink, I'm worried it may have left sticky residue inside.

Has anyone dealt with something similar?

• Is there anything I can safely try at home?
• Is cleaning the keyboard with isopropyl alcohol worth trying?
• Or does this usually mean the keyboard needs to be replaced?

I'd really appreciate any advice or experiences. Thanks!

Since last week, my router has become dysfunctional. It turns itself on and off automatically all by itself. I tried to resolve the issue by resetting it to its default settings but the problem persisted. Interestingly, disconnecting it completely for a couple of minutes did the trick and It was back to normal for a week. Now the problem is back and I simply don’t know how to troubleshoot this problem. Would appreciate some guidance on this matter and would ideally like a permanent solution to this recurring issue. I have got a Tplink AC1200 Dual Band WiFi Router. If it helps, I live in a student dorm in Germany.
