I have a TV that it appears to be in perfect conditions. We were using it, turn it off and never again will turn on again. It has the light on (the on that says if it is on or off) but if you press power it doesn’t turn on. I know that is a vague question but I just need any ideas of that could it be. I’m sure that neither water or anything got into. It’s an old TV, like 10 years.

My HDD has randomly stopped working. It is a 1TB HDD that was storing a lot of data. Its is now showing in disk management as "Unknown" and "Not Initialised".

When I try to initialize the disk, it does not allow me to.

Any ideas please?

I have a PC desktop from HP with Windows 11 Home and most of the games i try to play it just don’t run at all. Like so glitching i don’t know what’s going on and it’s very frustrating for the price i paid for it. I know some games are just big but it can’t play fortnite or supervive? I’ve tried lowering graphics in the game settings but that doesn’t help really. I have a AMD Ryzen 3 732OU Processor with Radeon Graphic 2.40 GHz if that helps lol. It’s just supposed to be able to run this so I really want to be able to use it for this :( help!!

I get a client who run rehab clinic and he want to run ad for his clinic but i am not sure if we can run ad on drug keyword, can you help me with this??

I bought this asus 15 15 minutes ago, got home fired it up and this is my reading, i doesn't come with windows i was planning to put them on but now im thinking of just returning it tomorrow, is this normal?

I'm in the process of specing out a new computer, and was planning to reuse the optical drive from my current PC, that I carried over from the previous system probably 15 years ago. It seems many modern computer cases have dropped the 5.25" bays entirely. While I don't use an optical drive very often, it has come in handy from time to time mainly to rip a Audio disk, DVD or get some records off say a medical Imaging CD. It looks like external cases are fairly expensive, in the $50+ range. There are several USB3 options that are burners, readers, and often USB hubs as well for $20-30. Does anyone have any experience with these? I presume they are fine?

I am desperate. We have a Samsung smart lock on our door and since last week, it glitches out. When we close to lock it, the lock doesn’t read that the door is closed and reopens. Sometimes the lock also gets stuck on a loop and keeps opening and closing by itself. Any suggestions on why this happens

I've been having this issue for a month now where my monitors (one monitor, one screened drawing tablet) have been going dark in the middle of gaming. No connection found. I've also noticed my drawing tablet has moments where the screen stops and becomes static, before it continues on like normal.

After updating my graphics drivers and dusting inside, I thought it was fixed, but the problem has started happening again. Normally when the screens go dark, the sound remains, except for one instance where the sound started bugging out as well. Restarting my computer I've found is the only way to fix it in the short term.

I'm not super tech saavy and I'm not sure what to do. I bought my computer secondhand from my friend.

here's my specs with one change: I have a GTX 960 graphics card

(i have a Victus HP gaming laptop with Windows 11 btw)

So today i went to get on my gaming laptop and went to play Minecraft, but when i launched the game it said that my graphics card drivers need to be updated. When i went to check if the drivers needed to be updated, it says they are already up to date, but even after trying again on Minecraft and some other games it still keep telling me the same thing. What do i do?

here are the two specs i looked at that i have on my laptop: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6GB Laptop GPU, Intel(R) UHD Graphics

thanks for the help!

I need tip to avoid overheat my gpu 86C while Gaming and cpu 70-95-96C

I have a Lenovo Yoga 2 touch screen laptop (purchased only a year ago) and when I have my wired mouse plugged in, it'll randomly snap to the top left and right corners with no rhyme or reason. This happens while the mouse is actively being used and also while it's still (it's flickered to the top left corner multiple times while I've written this post).

I've tried everything- cleaning the USB port with canned air, using a different mouse, disabling the touch screen and trackpad in Device Manager, using a different mouse pad, and taking the battery out of my stylus in case that was affecting it from a distance. None of these fixed the issue. I'm at a complete loss. Additionally, I didn't have this problem at all during the week I spent at my parents' house for Thanksgiving; it was present before but only reappeared once I moved back into my university dorm. The only major difference between my setup there and here is the mouse pad being used. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My landlord next door has wifi and put a box in my house and he lets me use his wifi. Never had a problem with it (been like this for 2 years). Today, my WiFi box light is orange (he probably didn’t pay the bill or something) anyway, my MacBook still connects to it and my phone connects to it but the apps won’t work with WiFi. My tv says good signal and good connection but it won’t load any apps i.e hbo, paramount etc. my PlayStation won’t connect to it but has strong signal and good connection. How is this possible if my MacBook connects but my tv and PlayStation won’t? My phone will let me browse the web with wifi but my apps won’t work while on wifi. Never had this happen before.

My girlfriend got an email from her "bank". It looked legit so she opened the QR code with her phone. It was this website https://qrco.de/bfWxTz

Should we be worried about it? Can it infect the phone with malware?

Appreciate your help!

This morning, my phone (SKY Devices, can't remember the exact model) was working perfectly, however, I shut down my phone after I used it and turned it back on an hour later only to find out that it factory resetted. Does anyone know what happened, and if so, how can I get back my lost data?

If you need more information, just ask me.

I have an iphone and i have turned the feature where it stores moust of my photos in icloud and when i connect my phone to my pc(win11) and copy my pictures i just can copy like 20 and 20 that are like 240p how do i get the pictures to my computer (win11) from my icloud

New pc, 3 weeks old:

7800x3d, ASUS TUF Gaming x870 plus Wi-Fi, ASUS TUF Radeon 7900xtx, 2 Samsung 990Pro 2tb and 4tb (OS on 2tb), team force 32gb 6000. Keyboard RAZR Black widow (reused from old pc)

When the keyboard was on my old pc, from time to time the rgb on the keys would turn off and when I go to enter my password, it would just start typing the same letter repeatedly, none stop (I assume it's the same letter because it was nothing but black dots. If it was a message from my late parents, then shucks). When I unplugged and plugged back in it was fine again but would only happen when I first turn on the computer.

Now on my new pc, my keyboard maybe more after playing The Division 2, I go to type something like on Reddit or just an overall search, I get different letters than what I was actually typing. I would unplug and replug but nothing. I had to restart my pc. The first time I restarted my pc to try and fix it, it worked no problems. This time (the second time this has happened) I rebooted and then I got the safe mode screen.

My keyboard is now 5 to 7 years old. Time for a new keyboard, I hate to think that the lifespan of a keyboard it 5 to 7 years.

My monitor randomly will go dim and it undims when i hit the windows button and start typing and starts dimming and undimming. It then stays undim eventually after i close the window popup once again. It only started when i opened prime video. How do i fix this?

Just to clarify, I don’t mean plugged into the PC, just on the SSD side.

Windows 11 24H2. Alienware M18 R2, i9-14900hx, 4080. Random brand USB microphone that does in fact work fine on Windows 11/10.

Been setting up my new machine the past few days and I've just about got it. Tried using my USB microphone for a work call and realized it's doing something that I actually fixed before, but I didn't write down what the actual issue was and I can't for the life of me remember.

The issue is that the input volume is stuck at 0. I can drag the slider around but it instantaneously reverts to 0. It did this on my main admin account but I solved it a few days ago while sleepy and can't remember on my work account.

I've tried every single common thing available on the intertubes such as:

• uninstalling device (uses generic driver)
• restarting machine
• ensuring reg entries are there and it's not disabled that way
• changing exclusive mode
• trying different USB port
• checking physical connection to mic
• disabling Nvidia audio
• disabling all sound effects/processing

The only memory I have related to how I fixed it before is that it had little or nothing to do with the usual fixes above, it was simple/basic. Like I said, it does work on this version of Windows and it just uses generic driver.

Only other thing I can think of that I haven't tried is manually disabling any and all Dell/Alienware audio-related services (and the intelligo and Intel junk related to audio). Pretty sure I disabled all of that on my primary admin account but I haven't disabled everything on my work account yet. Just hoping someone else has an idea or can spark my shitty memory. Thanks fellow humans.

I don't have any cloud storage left so I can't sent or receive any emails but I can't manage my cloud storage at all because when ever I try to enter google one site I get error 403 , app doesn't work either. Is there anything I can do to be able use my Gmail again? Btw I'm living in Iran, is the reason I can't enter Iran being banned ? I tried using VPN too that didn't work .

Usually I'd have another build but I'm solo now 😭

Was working fine and then just wouldn't power on. Auros b550, AMD 5600x and 32gb ram. Corsair 650w gold PSU. Not a lot of dust.

The PSU will do it's start up fan when I hit the power, CPU fan and case fans will do a small turn, then nothing. Everything is less than 24 months old. No water damage, no power spikes.

Any help appreciated.

Whenever i open up discord this keeps happening and i am getting very annoyed. i have tried installing and unistalling "fortinet" but nothings seems to work so i have turned to the good old reddit. is there a way anybody can help?? (sorry if my flair isnt correct)

I factory reset my laptop and it keep restarting. I downloaded media creation tool in my usb to install a new windows but it keeps restarting and I can’t safe boot it.

Pretty self explanatory ping spikes to over 1000 From the 30s which makes it impossible to game or use computer. Tried resetting the router and adding an extender but no issues were fixed. Thanks.

Just upgraded to the 5600 and using the stock cooler with the thermal paste it comes with. I’m idling at like 50c and my temp pretty much goes straight to 80c when I just open B06 and stay in that area in game. Also temps seem to be at like 60c in bios for some reason. Is this all normal? Just seems like it doesn’t take much at all to raise the temps high.

While watching a video my computer suddenly started to act up and freeze the audio repeated itself like "RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" my version is windows 11. Help? 64 bit my cput is intel I5 2.90GHZ

12400F and RX 6600 system sometimes gives a 'no signal' error during games. Just now, it happened in the game The Casting of Frank Stone™. This has occurred a few times. I ran a 30-minute FurMark test and 15-minute OCCT power and CPU+RAM tests. I also used the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool. No errors or shutdowns were detected!

RAM: XPG Gammix D30 2x8 RAM
Storage (SSD): WD SN570 500GB
Graphics Card: ASUS Dual AMD RX 6600
Motherboard: ASUS Prime H610M-K D4
Processor: Intel Core i5-12400F
PSU: FSP Hydro K Pro 500W 80+ Bronze

In the FurMark test, I enabled 8X MSAA, and the GPU was around 50°C, running at approximately 98% utilization. During the OCCT test, the CPU temperature never exceeded 83°C, or if it did, it certainly never hit 90°C.

Windows automatically generated a dumpstack.log and a Minidump file. I'm not sure if the two files are identical. If you can analyze these files and identify the issue, please let me know.

Note: This random 'no signal' error also occurred once or twice in Red Dead Redemption 2, particularly after changing game settings. It was resolved after updating the GPU driver, but I think it happened one more time afterward. When it also happened in this game, I started thinking it might be hardware-related. However, as I mentioned, no issues were detected in the tests I performed. The error occurred with both the 24.5.1 and 24.10.1 drivers.

BIOS is up to date. Drivers are up to date. Running Windows 11 24H2.

So I was cleaning my room a bit, so I decided to clean my PC as well quickly, as I always do.

Finish the job, start it up, and I have no sound. 💀 

I use both speakers and headphones. None work.

I think Windows shows that it is registering sound, but there is 0 output.

Did I cook something when cleaning or what?

Halp please.

I was hacked a couple of months ago and was able to resolve everything and the hacker stole my session token on that device before I cleared everything is it safe to use chrome on a different device?
