Well never mind I booted it up today and its the same story. Worked fine all day yesterday, even after turning on and off. No blue screens or crashing. Also still getting a pop up to reset fTPM.

Ok, I got another M.2 SSD and intalled Ubuntu on the system which seems to have fixed the problem. Just one more question, is there any way of me knowing whether it is the OS that's corrupted on the drive, or the drive itself is bad? Much appreciated.

Hey Guys, So basically my Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro X Laptop decided to start crashing. It started off with the laptop screen not turning on after I pressed the power button. I could sometimes get it working if I just restarted it with a hard shut down. This prompted the laptop to turn on, however...

Hey guys, So my laptop stopped working. Its the Dell Inspiron 7420 Plus. At first the only time the power light turned on was when I woudl press the power button. It stayed on as long as I kept pressing the button. Afterwards I tried taking the battery out, ad running it from the charger...

Cleaning the RAM has worked. Thank you very much for your help.

Sorry for the late reply. The code I am getting from the batt status lights is 2,4 which seems to indicate memory/RAM failure.

Hey all, My laptop stopped working a week ago. When I go to press the power button nothing happens, no lights or anything, even when plugging in the charger, there would usually be a small LED lighting up on the side, but that does not happen either. The laptop is Dell Inspiron 14 7420 I...

Got it, was for 101.98 brand new. Thanks everyone :)

One of the reasons I actually posted was bc I need it for an old motherboard. The motherboard: Asus Prime B350 PLUS I need a 1TB drive.

So, I have been looking for an m.2 SSD to boot my system. Size of 1TB. I have looked at reviews and stuff from sites such as this but, it seems to be the case that most sites basically recommend different m.2 SSDs and making me confused. I have around 100 great British pounds for this. I was...

OK, I guess I'll ask the person that is the owner of the broken pc and see how badly he needs a new one. Would you say building a new pc now and getting a graphics card later on is a bad idea?

Do you mean that RAM and CPUS are expensive right now aswell? Because I was thinking the GPUS are only the real big problem.

So, the best course of action would be to probably build a new system due to this one being old and replacement motherboard probably facing similar issues just around the corner as stated in an earlier post?

I replaced the battery, and also how would I test the power outputs on the PSU? Also, I tested the system with a working PSU that I use for my currently working system and had the same issue.

Did the motherboard benchmark as instructed; checked all the pins on the cpu, checked capacitors, and generally for any discolouring on the CPU and motherboard, also for interference issues. No problems there. Moving onto the motherboard bench testing, I was not able to go post after the module...
