I occasionally see these strange ghost inputs from various keyboards for unclear reasons. I do have doubts that it's dirt or grime but won't discount the possibility out of hand. But look- if I go to https://en.key-test.ru/ and try a key test, it doesn't register a key as being pressed...

Yeah that's a very difficult problem to resolve. I've had the same issue with an old 7870 radeon. Is it a radeon only problem? I.. don't know honestly. But the best guess I saw was a PSU issue. or maybe a motherboard issue....? The good thing is that coil whine is a very well documented and...

Not really... only pressure will. The conduction of heat onto the GPU can be a problem but the fan is right there so it would be dispersed rapidly. The only problem it can cause is a mechanical problem (bumping) or if heat is not being loosened out of the computer.

Sorry not sure what you mean. Bluetooth does not use a dongle. 2.4ghz does though, but that one is perfectly fine.

When I use my mouse in the office it stutters, but it doesn't stutter at home. Problem is, I could use 2.4ghz but 95% of the reason why I have this mouse is for its bluetooth function. I tested it with a mouse polling rate checker at home and it comes down to 80-90 hertz. That's ok. But at the...

Indeed. I'm not quite sure it's so simple. https://superuser.com/questions/1269449/identifying-data-transfer-micro-usb-cables-vs-charge-only-micro-usb-cables

I believe data transfer and charging cables are different

They're just type A usb. Not micro. So does that work the same? And what about cables that are good for data transfer?

My new laptop only has usb-c ports... and my old hard drives only use usb (3.0) The thing is some USB cables are cheap and really they're for charging, not data. Now this is getting complicated. So can this stuff support usb c in the first place and secondly.. how do I know which cables will...

I understand what you mean but I meant that there's a difference between one state and another for some reason. In one of them, even the fan is running, which is weird. In another, it takes a couple of seconds to wake up.

When the PC should go to sleep when I go AFK, I expect the GPU light to be off, the fans turn off, the mouse lights turn off. That has happened and usually does, so often that I don't even know what causes that exactly. Because I just walk away and it should just happen, no power draw. But I...

Well, it was on battery but I mean, that was the main idea behind all this- the battery is miserable and doesn't seem quite right despite being new. Now that I'm using it again- I am reminded of how my computer runs like garbage even plugged in. Just doing basic tasks related to installation...

Hi here are some details! https://ibb.co/Sc9hjv2 1712 https://ibb.co/hBwc6Lw 1720 https://ibb.co/wgkGWrc 1720 https://ibb.co/vkNJStL 1725 https://ibb.co/sHNwBVG 1734 I wonder if anyone can make sense of any of this.

You can rest assured that your reading is wrong and a result of computer error and be happy that your GPU fan is NOT running at at 60 million RPM. If you can get some kind of a fan to spin up to 60 million RPM in under a second, then you may be eligible for a nobel prize in some sort of physics...

Huh... well, this is the laptop battery- https://.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F37Q5X9?psc=1 And my laptop is specifically K501LX-EB71 I don't know how to check the part number... But here's an example of a webpage which insists that the battery is just as good as the original...
