Yes I did use DDU and did a clean install. Maybe I will have to look into changing the thermal compound :unsure:

So I have been dealing with a few issues for a while now and finally decided to ask you lovely people for some help/suggestions. Problem 1 I will occasionally experience screen tearing, I notice it when playing games and when just scrolling through a website or on Discord. I keep my video...

I finally got around to replacing the thermal paste. However, when I had the laptop open I noticed that the board has what I believe to be a couple of shorts? Got a picture before I changed the thermal paste: The good news is that replacing the thermal compound has seemed to maybe have...

Any new ideas? The thermal compound arrived yesterday. I will apply it sometime in the near future. It won't be a fun job since one of the screws keeping the PCB in place is stripped and the other is really tight.

The new power supply arrived yesterday. The thing is, after I plugged all the cables back into their designated places about a week and a half ago, I've been using the computer and I have not had any problems with it's startup. I am probably just going to install the new power supply anyway...

Performance doesn't matter whether it is plugged in or not because the battery settings are in favor of max performance, and I have tested with and without being plugged in and it doesn't change anything. I have the same amount of RAM as I did when it performed well. I know 4GB isn't a lot and...

I also don't think updating the BIOS would do much either since it had the same BIOS when it was still working well, I have never updated it. I am thinking that maybe something is turned off in the BIOS. I noticed that my processor doesn't go past 2.39GHz, maybe something is limiting that, and...

I can't just install the latest bios? I have to start from the one that was after my current version? I installed the latest driver from intel's website already. I tried at first with the exe but it gave an error, that is why I downloaded the zip and installed them manually with Device Manager...

Ever since about a year ago I noticed that my laptop hasn't been performing anywhere near as well as it used to. My laptop is an Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575-33BM The processor is a 7100u which uses Intel HD 620 graphics. In Device Manager, it was telling me that I had the latest driver for my...

Okay, I've decided I am going to buy the SeaSonic PRIME TX 750w PSU and see if the problem is still there after I install it.

Pins: 1 - 3.82v 2 - 3.84v 4 - 5.47v 6 - 5.47v 9 - 5.54v 10 - 12.8v 11 - 12.81v 12 - 3.79v 13 - 3.74v 14 - (-)11.03v 21 - 5.46v 22 - 5.44v 23 - 5.41v I'm not sure if it is a good idea to open up the PSU and test the voltage regulator. The motherboard's manual...

I am learning about multimeters and such, a friend who knows more told me to put it on 0-200 (oops lol). These are the voltages I recorded when testing: 3.82 3.84 5.47 5.47 5.54 12.8 12.81 3.79 3.74 -11.03 5.46 5.44 5.41 They seem slightly above the maximum range values. The multimeter is...

Well turns out I was using my multimeter wrong. It has multiple voltage settings and I had it on 200 instead of 20. When I put it on 20 the readings were roughly what they are supposed to be. So now I still have no clue as to what is wrong...

Thank you for your help.

Yeah, I'm thinking of just buying a SeaSonic PRIME Ultra so I won't have to worry about having a half-ass PSU. Are the possibilities of it being anything else completely out of the question? Thanks
