I've looked around and the causes suggested by the sites are overheating, malware, and failing battery. Based on Malwarebytes and Avast...

There's this blue USB port on my laptop called "USB port with power-off charging" used to charge mobile devices even when the laptop is sleeping or off. I plan to use the port for a microphone because all the other ports on my laptop are used for my keyboard and mouse. I want to keep it...

slightly concerned about the odd mismatch my 6+2 pci cable has, the left one is fine, but the shoulder/clip thing to keep the 2 locked with the 6 on the right doesn't work, and the 2 pin is ever so slightly (few mm) further out of the 8 pin connector than the 6 are. Just worried that it may...

I just got a new PC since I thought my laptop was acting up. Before getting a PC, I was running my laptop without a battery. I can run everything fine in my laptop except gaming where after playing for a few minutes (longest was an hour and a half, shortest was about 5 minutes), laptop would...

Wasn't 100% if I should ask this in Systems or here, sorry if I chose wrong. Anyways, I'm a freelance video editor, and while I am usually at home to work, there are occasions where I will be gone for a week or so to visit family or whatever, and up until recently, I would force myself to work...

Recently i`ve got a new aorus z390+9900k and a new mouse (mz1), then i measured the polling rate and saw this. What is interesting is that i had EXACTLY the same issue on my old i7 3770 and multiple mice (viper mini, gpro (wired) and fk2). And i was thinking that i just had a faulty mobo or old...

Hello everyone, this is something that's been on my mind ever since the launch of the 3090, and especially now with the 3090 Ti and the upcoming launches of RDNA3 and, in particular, Lovelace, I feel like it's something I want to discuss with the community. In last couple of years, governing...

My dumb butt wasn't looking and the other end of the usbc plug touched the metal part of my usb port on my pc. It turned off instantly. I naturally tried unplugging and plugging back in. Didn't work; fans came on for less than a second and didnt spin and stopped. I tried taking out the mobo...

I've just got my hands on an RTX 3080Ti, however I've only got a 750W Corsair RM750x. Judging from the TDP of my CPU and new GPU, there isn't really a way for my system to go over 750W as far as I would know. If my system were to crash due to power limits, could this damage the card? Also, can...

Issue: So I've recently installed a Quadro M2000 gpu in my system (4 display port outputs). However, the monitor now has a very annoying issue where once the monitor sleeps, the monitor immediately complains that there is no cable plugged in and powers off 10 seconds later (so you have to power...
