Is this a scam or not?

Someone bought a game code of first light from a nvidia event and this guy said he needed a 5060 ti nvida gpu minimum to redeem it and asked me to redeem it for him

I don't know if this is safe or not

I asked how would i do that and he just said to go to the nvidia app and redeem

That's it

But can they like put a malware in the code or like this is totally fine and i should helped him?

Security issue or false positive?

Hello! I want to purchase the Mafex 241 Tobey Spiderman figure from the Japanese website Hobby Search. I use Google Chrome on both my PC and tablet. On both devices, after I successfully log in and go to the account settings, whether I make changes or simply review them, as soon as I press the “back to account” button, Google shows me a notification saying that “the password you just used was detected in a data breach, etc.”

The issue is that this does not appear immediately when I log in, but later when I perform only the action described above. I also change passwords, and sometimes this warning appears immediately, and other times after some time (I do not log in there daily and I have not made other purchases).

I do not use saved Google passwords, I do not use password autofill, and Google account security does not find any issues with my Google account or my accounts in general. I created another Google account and Chrome profile, and the same thing happens in exactly the same sequence as described above.

When I log in using Google Incognito mode or Microsoft Edge and follow the same steps, this message never appears. My devices are not infected with malware and are properly updated.

What is happening? Should I be worried?

By the way, the site is considered trustworthy and I will be paying with PayPal Express Checkout. After I complete the payment, is it better to remove my bank card from PayPal?

Thank you for reading this long message!

Windows 11 OS consuming all my ram?

So I have an old MSI gaming laptop with 8 gigs of ram. It is acting slow on boot and in loading web pages. Take it down to the shop and they tell me that my windows os is consuming all of my ram and want me to upgrade it. Does the situation with the os sound plausible?

Can someone please direct me on what to do??

Adobe notification with no adobe installed

I am stumped. Every time I download a PDF or copy a PDF from an email attachment to my computer, I get a notification to open the PDF in Adobe at the bottom right-hand corner of my screen. Every time I check the box that says "Don't show this message again" and click the "x" to close the notification. And every time it opens the Microsoft Store so I can download Adobe Reader.

  • I do not have any Adobe product installed
  • There is no Adobe folder in Program Files, Program Files (x86), or Windows directories
  • There is no Adobe folder in Users... AppData
  • All notifications have been turned off in Windows, the Windows Store, in Edge, and in Chrome
  • All registry entries pertaining to Adobe have been deleted

Yet, I still get the notification. What is the notification and how can I get rid of it with extreme prejudice?

Ryzen 5 5600G crashes/reboot loop whenever AMD graphics driver installs — Safe Mode works

I’m honestly losing my mind with this issue.
System:

Ryzen 5 5600G (integrated gpu ), no gpu windows 11

Problem:
Windows suddenly started crashing/reboot looping during normal boot. Safe Mode works perfectly fine.
After using DDU, Windows boots normally using Microsoft Basic Display Adapter. But the moment I install AMD graphics drivers again, the system crashes again during installation or next boot.

Things I already tried:

  1. DDU multiple times in Safe Mode
  2. AMD Cleanup Utility
  3. Disabled Windows automatic driver installs
  4. Disconnected internet during installs
  5. Removed C:\AMD folders
  6. Disabled XMP/DOCP in BIOS
  7. Tried latest AMD drivers
  8. Tried reinstalling drivers offline

Behavior:
AMD installer crashes around 37–38% or sometimes 98%
• Screen goes black
• After reboot, Windows enters repair loop again
• Safe Mode always works afterward
• No error code

At this point I’m trying to figure out:
> Is this a corrupted Windows driver store issue?
> Broken AMD Adrenalin version?
> Something specific to 5600G APUs?
>Would manual Device Manager driver install work better?
>Should I just reinstall Windows cleanly now?

Would appreciate any ideas before I wipe the whole OS. HELP ME PLS!

Asus ProArt (3 Years Old) Suddenly Running Hot, Loud Fans, and Slowing Down — Reinstall Windows?

Hi everyone,

My laptop has been acting strange lately and I'm not sure what's causing it.

I have an Asus ProArt laptop that I purchased exactly 3 years ago.

Every other day, the fans suddenly get much louder even when I'm not doing anything heavy. The laptop also starts getting really hot and feels sluggish/slow for no obvious reason.

I'm trying to figure out if this is a software issue or something else. I'm wondering if I should reinstall Windows completely, or if deleting unused programs would help.

The only major software I can think of is Adobe Creative Suite stuff like Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Photoshop, which I barely use anymore. But I believe I already uninstalled most or all of that recently, so now I'm confused about what's causing this behavior.

Could background processes, Windows updates, malware, startup apps, dust buildup, aging thermal paste, or something else be causing it? Has anyone dealt with something similar before?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Crossover help

I have been trying to run some games on my mac but I don’t think that the graphics are set up right on crossover for it. It just shows a blank white screen whenever I try to play it. I’m really bad with computers but I feel like I’ve wasted a bunch of money. Already reached out to the devs but they refused to help.

“We couldn’t find any drivers” what drivers do you want???

Not sure if my flair is correct or not.

My sdd decided to stop working over a week ago but it has my windows installed on it. I got a new one and got windows on a usb and now im trying to install it again. But during the setup it says “we couldn’t find any drivers” and I don’t know what drivers i need or what ones it cant find.

I tired looking it up and saw people saying to get intel rapid storage technology or something on a usb for the driver which I tried but didn’t work but I didn’t even know what gen i needed to download so i probably did that wrong. But i saw other posts saying you dont need that, just enable and disable some things in your bios.

I dont have the best or most up to date pc but it works for me and does what i need it to do and upgrading is expensive and i dont know where to start but I just want to be able to go on my pc again. And im so frustrated that I cant as silly as that sounds.

If you have any advice please help me

My website have been hacked, what can I do to get it back ?

Last week, my website appeared to not react to my updates anymore. (Updates done by a simple copy through ssh).

So I checked it and it was just a black page (it still is today).

I looked it up, my domain still points to my server so I have no idea what's happening.

Just anytime I copy/delete something, nothing happens... Like if something was overriding it.

Any idea ?

Thank you very much in advance.

Crashing GPU error

My GPU might be cooked and I can’t afford a new one at this point I’m willing to try anything yall got. This is a new issue that I’ve never had before. Some Games keep crashing regardless of graphics settings. Nothing seems out of the ordinary looking at my system processes (cpu, GPU, ram) when the crashes happen. Error codes. Claiming my GPU is the reason for the crashing.

Methods I’ve tried
Fresh windows install
Fresh nvidia cleanup using ddu and fresh nvidia drivers.
Bios is up to date.
Lowest settings possible on game that crash.
Integrity verification and reinstallation of the games.
And right now I’m running the windows memory diag tool…

I’m lost and just want my pc to work again. Someone please help me.

System info:
Ryzen 7 5800x
Cooler Corsair aio (new within a year)
64gb of ddr4 ram
