Specs are at the bottom of this post. This happened twice, but I have not found a solution this time. The first time, I simply forgot to turn off my computer overnight, and had to force shut down in the morning. Then, when turning on, it would freeze after BIOS when trying to load the OS...

The problem: I can't tell if my ASUS motherboard is truly the problem since any google search gives me round about answers that do more gas-lighting that it's the RAM or CPU and not the motherboard. The symptoms my system is experiencing: Depressingly slow boot times Slow screen refreshing...

My PC is about 6 years old, and this morning when I came to turn it on as usual it didn't get any power at all, the fans didn't even spin. So I unplugged the PSU and turned it off and on, plugged it back in and it's booted fine as usual, but I'm worried it's the start of a bigger problem as it's...

Well, this has been so far the biggest mystery I've had with an SSD, so it may be something silly. Here's the scenario: I was calmly playing one night, like usual. I decide to shutdown my PC for a while, when i go to turn it back again, I get the typical "Reboot and select proper boot device"...

I'm running Ubuntu 22 on an intel Core 2 Duo MacMini. It's a 64-bit OS, but the EFI is 32-bit.

So I recently wanted to see what was on my old desktop and couldn't reach windows due to a disk error which I suspected was on the ssd where windows was installed. I then plugged it into my current pc which resulted in some form of disk check/fix done automatically on launch after posting and...

*My threads got merged so the beef of this thread is now a comment below the post, but this is relevant as well. Wanted to know if these pins look normal for a LGA 1200 socket. I did a little research, and it seems that the pins on these sockets are intended to be somewhat "bent," but I don't...

As the title says, a few days ago I got an USB power surge warning as I was charging a few too many VR accessories through my USB ports. Unplugged all the devices and everything seemed normal. However, when I tried to start the PC the next day, it would refuse to boot. The fans spun up and the...

Hi I just added my old SSD to my new motherboard Gigabyte 970A-DS3P besides another SSD that came together and it boots my main windows 10 system. I think I even set up something to boot from both drives, but for some reason my old SSD is not visible in boot selection menu. Any ideas how to get...

A few weeks ago I bought a new Acer Nitro 5 and promptly put a second ssd from my old laptop into it. I left the old system partition in case I didn't like Windows 11. The system sees the drive, can interact and transfer files, and also sees the system partition in diskpart Welp, as it turns...

Hello. I have acquired an old Lenovo 3000 N200 laptop that had not been used in 4-5 years. I booted it up, it worked fine until it shut itself off. After some digging around I noticed the fan wasn't spinning, so it appears the laptop had overheated. I opened it up and noticed that every time I...
