The build went smooth. I have an APC/UPS 1350 from Schneider Electric connected with a PowerChute software. Installed Windows 11 Pro via Media Creation Tool with License Key. Enabled EXPO, HDR, Download Drivers, Updated BIOS, Installed BitDefender because my family has a License for another device, Downloaded Discord, Steam, Xbox App, and BitWarden. Bought Minecraft, and started playing. Once per day I have been experiencing idle crashes with various different error codes and different Mini Dump analyzation results that were puzzling, even with windows verifier running in an attempt to locate something more specific and concrete in Mini Dumps. One by one I diagnosed things and still got crashes after every move. I disabled EXPO, I reinstalled all the drivers-(AMD Chipset/NVIDIA/LAN/Ethernet/Audio/Bluetooth/ASUS Support Divers), I uninstalled BitDefender and activated Microsoft Security, Checked Microsoft Integrity by Running SFC & DISM, I checked the SSD Health with Powershell, I did physical RAM tests with MemTest86 on two separate 4 Pass runs, Considered Memory Context Restore & Power Down Mode, configured Windows Power Settings, OCCT Stress & Thermal Tests on CPU, GPU, & VRAM, Booted with One Stick of RAM in slot A2, and the step I’m currently on awaiting another potential crash is Onboarding with the GPU completely removed. I have absolutely no idea what to do if it does or doesn’t crash with this next test because if it does I suspect CPU Memory Controller or Motherboard DIMM Slot issues. If it doesn’t. I’ve isolated the issue to the GPU, which I would still have no resolution to because rather than a faulty component, I would think it’s some kind of settings I’m unaware of when the PC is idle. Here are compiles of SOME of the different readings analyzed from Mini Dumps, but I believe they are more misleading than one would initially suspect:

Hi , weird sound in my pc

Listen closely—the sound is subtle, and I can't tell exactly where it's coming from. In any case, it only happens when I'm gaming under full load (specifically GTA V at 1440p, Ultra settings with ray tracing). It doesn't happen constantly; sometimes the sound stops and starts again at random intervals. If someone know what is that sound please tell me what can i do or if its not good or just a random sound

Lenovo G580 (2012) takes 8–10 minutes to boot even after multiple Windows resets. Any ideas?

Hi everyone,

I'm having a strange issue with my 2012 Lenovo G580.

-:Specs:

-Intel Core i3-3110M (3rd Gen)

-10GB DDR3 RAM (8GB + 2GB)

-500GB SATA SSD (Windows installed on SSD)

-Intel HD Graphics 4000

-Windows 10 Pro

-:Upgrades I've done:

-Replaced the original HDD with a 500GB SSD

-Upgraded RAM from 2GB to 10GB

-Removed the old HDD (currently using only the SSD)

The problem: The laptop works perfectly for a few days after a fresh Windows reset, but then it gradually becomes very slow again.

Takes 8–10 minutes to boot

Apps open very slowly

Sometimes Disk Usage jumps to 100%

CPU and RAM usage stay normal most of the time

-:I've already:

-Reset Windows twice

-Removed unnecessary startup apps

At this point I'm not sure if the issue is with the SSD, motherboard, SATA controller, or something else.

What would i check next?

My Computer Keeps Crashing and I Don't Know Why

A couple of months ago I started having this problem were when ever I would play Rainbow 6 Siege for about 10 minutes my computer would lose connection my monitors and my fans would start to spin very fast, but I could still hear everything happening in the game and still talk to my friends on discord. Recently this problem has gotten much worse and it will happen in every game that I try to play, not just Rainbow 6 Siege. However, this does not happen when I am just browsing the internet or watching a show. I have already tried installing up to date drivers and resetting my drivers but it hasn't helped. I am running on Windows 11 pro, with a Ryzen 9 7900x, an Nvidia 4070 12 GB, and 32 GB Ram. I am unsure if this is a Hardware or Software problem. Does anyone know what might be wrong or how I can fix it?

Device Specifications:

Device name Ezra-PC

Processor AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 12-Core Processor (4.70 GHz)

Help, my laptop screen is suddenly flickering. Sometimes, during the flickering, it enters sleep mode. Is there a solution for this?

I have used DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller), but it's still like that. Does anyone know the solution?

need help stopping the display from turning automatically

so my brother (computer engineer btw) got a prank played on him by his coworkers where they enlarged his icons and have started running this sort of malware where it makes his computer screen’s display turn automatically. I figured out how to make the icons back to their original size, but the display turning hasn’t stopped.

Theres a task in the task manager running that i have no permission to end and which i think is the culprit for this thing.
Can anyone help me? I really need to use his laptop to play my steam games.💔

Weird dot on computer screen

So I just opened my laptop and there's this weird red dot that appears on the screen when there's a darker color on the screen. I cleaned the screen with micro-fiber towel and 70% alcohol around 2 weeks ago and I feel like I would have notice it if it had appear before since I immediatly notice it when I opened the laptop. How can I fix it? And if not, will it get worse?

Keeps putting me in bios and in ipv idk what that means or does

So last week I’d discount some SATA, floppy disk, and HDD drive cables bc I don’t need them, bc I don’t have either of those. I have an NVME, but after I did that, it kept booting me to the BIOS. Now I don’t know what to do bc it’s loading IP, and idk what to do with that info. I already have a fresh install of Windows on a flash drive, but I don’t want to lose all of my data; it takes way too long to redownload everything back since I use my pc for recording and gaming and I don’t want to go through that again. Is their a way to save my main ssd without have to whip clean my system.

Pc won’t connect to monitor

I’ve had my pc for about 7 months and it worked perfectly for 6 when suddenly it wouldn’t connect to the monitor. Initially simply turning the pc on and off fixed the problem but then it stopped working. Then it would disconnect while running and then after a couple days unplugged it would work for a few days before it wouldn’t connect to the monitor. I eventually took it a tech shop and was charged $100 where they ran the pc for multiple days with maxing out my gpu and cpu and the highest temp it got was about 80-90 for both. I give them my monitor, 3 hdmi cords I used and they found no issue expect when initially booting it on, it didnt immediately connect. I’ve used 2 monitors, 3 hdmi cables, like 4 different outlets and it only works sometimes when I leave it unplugged for multiple days. Does anyone know what it could be?

My laptop won't stop beeping

Hello there! My Dell Inspiron N5110 (Old laptop, I know) I applied thermal paste to it and ever since then it keeps beeping when it is booting, when I play a video, and opening Discord makes it beep one time. the battery does not work anymore and only works by AC Power. It is running Fedora XFCE. Nothing is wrong besides the WI-FI being hard blocked and I need to reset the BIOS to make WI-FI work. It also beeps when loading the wallpaper. Any help is appreciated!

PC won’t display consistently

So I built my a pc and it was working fine til suddenly a blue screen came. No warnings or anything just blue. I shut it off with the power button l think my I’ll just restart it. The pc now won’t display to the monitor. But all is running, the GPU, CPU fan, Chassis fan, and ram sticks rgb be glowing.

I did everything I’ve read - reseat ram, unplug GPU, changed cables, hard reset power drain, reset CMOS, until what worked was reseating the cpu on the mobo. But I doubt that fixed it cause it did finally turn on. But it would still do the same thing. Turn on pc, no display.

So I thought of downgrading back to win 10 since I just updated it to win 11 and I was suspicious that caused the problem. And it sorta was? Cause when it was back to win 10 it would still do the same, turn on, no display. But I was able to simply shut it off with the power button then turn on again and it would display.

So I thought hey maybe it’s not a win 11 problem then, so I updated it back thinking it would be fine now. I was wrong. Cause I’m back to square one where a simple off and on wont bring it to display.

I appreciate any and all help please 🙏

Monitor goes black followed by a freeze - Please help

Hey everyone - Currently dealing with what the title says. My main monitor will go completely black and then when I try to move my cursor around on my second monitor it lags followed by a complete system freeze. I am forced to restart after this.

My main monitor is a LG 27GP850-B Ultragear Gaming Monitor 27-Inch QHD (2560 x 1440) Nano IPS Display at 165hz. My second monitor is much older and is only 1080p at 60hz.

I have looked online and tried some fixes - I have disabled freesync and enhanced sync - I have turned off hardware acceleration in Chrome and Discord. This has gotten about 5x worse over the last 2 weeks and it probably has happened 2-3x a day.

I frequently tab out of games and do things on my second monitor - which makes me wonder if it could be from the differing quality and Hz between my 2 monitors?

PC Specs-

GPU: AMD RX 6800 XT

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 8-Core Processor 3.40 GHz

Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming X570-PLUS WIFI

RAM: Silicon Power GAMING 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory

PSU: Corsair RM850x (2021) 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

Case: Lian Li - Lancool 3

AMD Adrenalin - Version 26.6.2

Chipset Drivers - Version 8.05.04.516

Just a few minutes ago my main monitor went black so i tried to do Win +CTRL + Shift + B to try and reset GPU and it froze everything.. After resetting my computer it didnt even pick up my main monitor - Everything was switched over to my second monitor as the new primary... Does anyone have any ideas on whats happening here and what I can do to fix this? Very frustrating.. (main monitor is Display Port)

Buying a Windows Server 2022 license — what do I actually need?

About to buy a Windows Server 2022 license for a small business setup and want to get it right the first time. The core licensing and CAL stuff is confusing

A few things I'm unsure about:

Standard vs Datacenter for my case — is Standard fine unless I'm running a lot of VMs?

Core licensing — do I really need the 16-core minimum even on a smaller machine?

CALs — are those a separate purchase from the license, and do I want User or Device CALs?

And honestly — where did you buy yours? Want something legitimate that won't deactivate, happy to pay a fair price. Thanks.

PC fully shuts down. Is it PSU or Graphics card??

Computer Type: Desktop
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon RX 6800 XT Gaming OC 16GB
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7500F
Motherboard: ASRock A620M Pro RS WiFi
RAM: 32GB (2×16GB) DDR5 6000MHz CL30 (EXPO enabled)
PSU: Cooler Master MWE Gold V2 750W 80+ Gold
Operating System & Version: Windows 11

Description of Original Problem:
My PC will randomly completely shut off while gaming. It is not a crash or blue screen — the entire system instantly loses power as if the plug was pulled, then it boots back up normally.
This does NOT happen on desktop or during normal use.
It mainly happens in games such as:
No Man’s Sky VR
Forza Horizon
High on Life
It is very inconsistent. Sometimes it can happen within minutes, sometimes not at all.
I built this PC myself last year and it has been running great at 1440p with no issues until recently when this started happening more often.

Troubleshooting:
CPU and GPU temperatures are normal
GPU hotspot temperatures are normal
AMD GPU stress test passes (10 minutes stable)
Event Viewer only shows Kernel-Power Event ID 41 after shutdown
Tried reducing GPU power limit (-6%)
Tried slight GPU undervolt
Using two separate PCIe power cables (not daisy chained)
Reseated all power cables
Stress tests do NOT reproduce the issue, only gaming does

I also purchased the PSU from Amazon and initially considered returning it under warranty, but they said it must be inspected first. I’m worried it may pass basic testing because the issue only happens under specific gaming loads and not synthetic stress tests.
From everything I’ve tested, it seems like a power delivery issue under gaming load, possibly related to GPU transient power spikes or PSU behaviour.

I think it might be due to the power spikes?? I’m not 100% sure or is it some fault PSU that needs returning??

No signal to usb or hdmi ports

Okay, so I’ve basically replaced my entire pc it feels like at this point. Out of nowhere, it died and started displaying “no hdmi/hdmi2 signal” on my monitors. I replaced the motherboard, cpu, power supply and case with new upgraded pieces and still I get 0 signal from my usb ports or hdmi ports to my monitors. I’ve tried pretty much everything I and my friends can think of to solve the issue so please, if anybody has any ideas to try, I need them. I’ve used my entire budget replacing my mother board and everything else already but in time I’ll have more funds, I just don’t know where to look anymore. To add, the pc itself turns on, fans all spin and lights work, including cpu fan and graphics card. My motherboard doesn’t have any lights indicating an issue either.
