I did a CHKDSK and it said 0KB in bad sectors. That's good! Anyway, the SSD also seems to be corrupted (albeit slightly less) so I feel like it's more of a CPU/Motherboard issue. Interesting note - after the chkdsk, I had to start Event Viewer 4 times because it kept complaining about...

I'm confused as to how a power surge would kill a PSU. I don't have any spare parts. I will run a Chkdsk. Nonetheless, the PC does have an external SSD which also has weird corruption, and trying to get a video output from the motherboard is worthless - it's even more garbled and corrupted...

Nothing changes, apart from the fans spinning up. We tried this before to see if something was wrong with that regard, but the only thing that happens internally with the case off is that we see the fans revving up. The fans spin a lot slower that way, but probably due to increased...

I'd say Dell.

For about 2 years I have been using an upgraded SFF Z220 from HP. SPECS: Case - Z220 SFF Workstation Case (the one meant to lie on its side like a pancake rather than a tower) DVD - Stock DVD drive RAM - 16GB Vengeance RAM HDD - Western Digital WD10EZEX 1TB Motherboard: Stock Motherboard PSU...

CPU: Intel Core I5-3470 GPU: MSI GeForce GT 710 OS: Windows 10 Home 64-bit with up-to-date drivers RAM: Tested, just fine Help! Occasionally whenever I play a game (mostly The Powder Toy) vertical lines or flickering appears on my screen. It happens a ton in The Powder Toy, and it also...

Sounds like a factory defect. Did your GPU come with warranty?

I know that it's unhealthy to look into the future. But I just really need to prepare. What should we all do when Windows 10 loses support? We COULD upgrade to Windows 11. But then there's the whole issue with having very specific PC components like Apple, and it probably be getting worse in...

Well Guys, I guess now might be the time to buy TPM chips, because when it launches, Windows 11 is gonna make them pretty valuable.

So Windows 11 has some very strict system requirements, and we all know that - infact, most computers can't run it. But there's an issue. Whenever anything has a major successor, people are almost instant to jump on the train and then become one of the first, because they think it's cool and...

Wait, I'm sensing a pattern. Newer HPs seem to have lower reviews than older ones, as far as poor condition used ones have higher reviews than new ones. Yes, but apart from that I have always used HP and had 0 issues. This computer I'm using, I have had from 2 years and it's an 8 year old used...

It WAS still under warranty, however HP strongly denied to repair it for some reason. They never told us why. The CPU died, hence why I have extreme trust issues with AMD. When we took it apart to see why HP didn't repair it, we noticed the inside of the case and the nearby PCB is scorched.

The laptop stopped working. Within a year. The only things I installed were Roblox, Discord, and my school stuff.

Future proofing The laptop had a rating at the time of 4.5 stars but today it has a rating of 2 stars, my issue was very widespread with that model and I got it before the issues started happening Why are you judging my graphics card man? I mainly have it because, well for one I don't do heavy...

I've seen dozens if not hundreds of computers, and go figure, the only one I've seen with a TPM chip died like a year after purchasing it.
