    [SOLVED] Is there any way I can get a monitor to work with this?

    So I was building a PC with the ryzen 2200g and noticed when I got my motherboard that it didn't have any display port, HDMI, or VGA. So I went on the internet and saw a USB to VGA adapter.

    Where to find a new case for my laptop?

    I have a Dell Inspiron 15 7000, I got it in 2016 but I believe it was released in 2015. I had it plugged in on my desk and the cord was stuck in the wheel of my chair. I didn't release this until I scooted back and dragged the laptop in the floor. At first, a little piece of the case around the...

    Can only get one stick of RAM to work.

    I've been looking on here and I've tried a bunch of stuff that worked for other people. I've tried switching which slot I have the ram in and so far the PC will only boot if one of the sticks is in A2 which leads me to believe the other stick is faulty. But I'm hoping that I can get it to work...
