Hi everyone,

My grandpa has really been struggling because his 8 year old computer died on him. He used to use it for news and to video call family so it really took his joy away when it died.

I was hoping to get him something new but I don’t have a lot of money saved up. Sadly I am not super knowledgeable of the best bang for your buck laptop and I also don’t know which one is good for him.

My budget would be 300-400$.

If anyone has any ideas or has seen a good Black Friday/ Cyber Monday sale and can share their suggestion, I would really appreciate you.

Thank you for your help everyone!

Hello everyone,

I’m having an issue with the scaling of my external monitors on Windows and I hope someone can help me.

My setup consists of an HP Omen 16-k0950nz laptop and two external MSI Optix G241-013 monitors. Everything is connected via an HP G5 Universal Dock. The problem is that the scaling on the external monitors, even when set to 100%, is still way too large. I’d like to set the scaling below 100%, but Windows doesn’t allow this by default.

What I’ve already tried:

NVIDIA Control Panel:

• I tried adjusting the scaling through the NVIDIA Control Panel, but the “DSR (Dynamic Super Resolution)” option is missing.
• Additionally, the “Display” tab is not available, which is likely because the monitors are directly connected to the Intel GPU and not managed by the NVIDIA GPU.2. Intel Graphics Settings:

Intel Graphic Settings:

• I was able to adjust the scaling through the Intel Graphics Settings, but this only results in black borders around the screen, and the actual content scaling remains the same size.3. Manual adjustments in programs:

Manual Adjustments in programs:

• I attempted to adjust the scaling manually in individual programs, but this is not a practical solution as I often move content between the monitors and the laptop display.

I’m at a loss and urgently looking for a solution to set the scaling on the external monitors fully and permanently below 100%. Are there any tools, registry tweaks, or other methods that I might not be aware of?

I’d be very grateful for any tips or suggestions!

Thank you in advance!

Like the title, I’m not sure what kind of pc I should purchase. I have no knowledge whatsoever on computer components and what they’re really good for.

I’m just trying to get a reliable computer that can handle dual monitors on hdmi, and doesn’t have trouble creating and editing a website or video.

I’m trying to keep it around $300 but I’m willing to go a little higher if needed. I’ve been looking at compact computers and while they look like they’d be good, I just wouldn’t know as I’m not knowledgeable in specs for performance or anything of that sort.

Anybody that has any recommendations is welcomed and encouraged to share. Thanks!

Hello, for the past couple of weeks, I would be using my computer and while I'm watching youtube for example, the video would randomly stop as if it's paused and applications cant be closed/open. If it starts and I do close the apps quickly, the application would appear blank on my task bar but the icon remains and shortly after, everything freezes and I have to do a hard shut down. Also note it's NOT a BSOD, the last screen I see is whatever it froze on.

One thing to note is that usually my work and recent tabs aren't saved, so if I edited a notepad for example and save it, it would have opened like I didn't edit it. And when I reopen Firefox, it reverts to the session/tabs I had open the day before, however today it reverted back to a session from a few days ago. My recent history is still there however.

Running System File Checker and DISM Tools, and it didn't seem to work. I've tried to leave my PC on for a few days after trying this and updating all my drivers to see if it worked, and there were no crashes. But then it would start randomly crashing again, sometimes after 8 hours sometimes 40 minutes.

If anybody could give some insight on what to do it would be much appreciated! I would also like to note that I had similar problems last month when I upgraded my GPU but it was fixed by running DDU and reinstalling my Drivers/Chipset.

So I mad a joke on a instagram insta reel. That has 400 likes and tones of comments. Someone commented with my Reddit name. Which was kinda odd they aren’t linked at all. What’s even stranger is he mentioned I posted on this profile. But he’s also talking about an account I had before this one..kinda weird for a comment I might have not even seen

No words.

So, I bought a brand new pc from msi. Everything worked fine for like 3-4 months. But then, I notice my video games started crashing or freezing or simply won't open at all. A lot of programs are failing to install or would run into errors while installing, leading me to try multiple times before installation could be completed. A lot of programs that are running would also crash a lot. Sometimes my google chrome would crash. Other times, the page would fail to load and instead the "aw snap" page would show up. This actually happens a lot and I would have to keep refreshing it until it loads.

I thought the new windows 11 update was just buggy, so I went into bios, did a secure erasure, and installed windows 10 instead. Installing windows 10 was a massive pain in the ass. It took me 9 hours to successfully install it. While installing, I keep running into errors and installation failures. I had to keep deleting the partitions and try again until the installation was successful. But, even after a successful installation, my pc still won't boot up. I finally managed to get it to boot up by first going into bios and putting the flash drive as number one priority before I proceeded to install windows and then I had to go back to bios, change the hard drive back into number one priority right after I finished installing windows before it was finally able to boot up. I don't know what the problem was. I had an old flash drive, so I thought maybe the flash drive was failing because it was too old.

After installing windows 10, I notice my video games stopped freezing, but every other problem still persists. Is there something wrong with my SSD or ram or motherboard?

CPU: Intel core i7 6700 3.40ghz

Ram: 16gb ram ddr4

GPU: gtx 1660 ti

SSD: 256gb ssd Samsung,

That's all i know.

We’ve ran Dell’s Diagnostic’s test which said everything was fine, however, when we reboot the computer we keep getting to this screen - problem is - it just won’t restart. Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks! :)

I want to utilise an old TV we have. I want to stream video to it via Wi-Fi.
Although it has a network socket I don't want to run a cable to it I want to use Wi-Fi. So looking for a cheap device I can plugin the network socket on the TV, which I can set up on my Wi-Fi but the TV will not see any difference. I'm sure the is one, I just can't get the terminology right on searches.

Hello im getting a new Gpu soon and was wondering if i needed to do anything important?

As a beginner in networking, should I start with books, videos, or a combination? What’s the best approach to learning key concepts, and how can I incorporate hands-on practice early on?

1. any1 know why every game running on dx11 crashes around after loading into it, its fine on the loading screen for cod, fort, siege, but crashes whenever i load into a game. it works fine on rust tho and like minecraft and i assume thats cuz mc is java but idk why its good on rust seeming its dx11 i think, idk if its bad drivers. I am not 100% that it is dx11 causing the crash although my computer is running completely fine, the only issue is that it crashes on games. I have tested all different components, all functioning fine, i have tried undervolting gpu and cpu, lower mhz on ram and nothing seems to work.
2. I have tried resetting my pc, updating all drivers, checking installed windows updates and verifying game files.

Hi Guys, please advice!

So I install lot of VSTs etc for Music production - I have vpn, malwarebytes, wfc installed etc

But I still feel computer is always as risk malware etc for attacks.

My concern is - I also work from same PC/different browser (chrome) - where I work on shopify store + my "google payment profiles" are synced with google account which has payment methods safe.

So shall I completely remove all work/payment profile from this PC ? OR Im I overthinking because even if Malware hits it will just corrupt my windows - and can't get inside google payments etc

Thanks
