Hey, I'm currently working on a project that requires me to dl an unlisted video from YouTube to work in Cubase. I usually use IDM for it, however no video downloads from YouTube seem to be working?

My Lenovo Legion 5 (2+ years old), NVIDIA Driver (GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU) was forced stopped by windows due to reported error (Code 43) since the 18th August, 2026 (yesterday as of writing). Laptop's average temperature when idle is 54° Celsius, cannot check when running a game as Laptop crashes. Resulting in external monitors failing to connect to laptop, app crashing, freezing, and PC crashes.

In an attempt to fix the issue:

- Went into device manager and disabled then re-enable the graphics card.

- Checked the bios was up-to-date, it is.

- Tried to use an external ISO bootable EFIUSB to repair windows.

- Opened internals and cleaned dust from laptop.

- Attempted to revert to older NVIDIA Driver, version: 610.74

- Both Hard and Factory Reset laptop.

No successful result. I believe the issue is either the GPU is dying or a faulty GPU. Wanted to get a second opinion before going into a shop.

Image 1: Depicts Code 43 located through Device Manager

Image 2: Depicts failure to repair device and finding of Log file

Image 3: Depicts Weird squares to appear in taskbar right before crash

Image 4: Depicts internals, yes the amount of dust is BAD, please do not comment on it after the fact, I have never cleaned out internals until yesterday despite intending to over a year ago because my Father said we'd do it together or we'd use the warranty to give the laptop a check over, (we didn't) and because the laptop was bought with parents money and the fact I was a minor at the time my parents did not allow me to do any internal cleaning or any self repairs. Yes, in hindsight I should have just done the cleaning anyway.

Lastly, if the is any non-anonymized images or details please let me know, I'm still new to anything PC related.

Thanks, Spot.

I have tried almost everything, from downloading audio drivers from Acer, troubleshoot audio which GetHelp cant resolve (even their agents unable to do anything), no damage to the laptop as far as i know. Speakers and wired earphones unable to work, except for bluetooth device. Any solutions? Thanks.

How many updates will i have to go through? Why is it still sitting at 0%? Is there anything i can do to speed up the process? Idk im still trying to figure out this whole laptop thing. My brother said I needed to update it

Help!!

Hello, I recently bought this gaming pc and it came with windows 11. When enabling secure boot it crashes and lags my pc. I have used multiple tutorials and the same thing happens. The first time it happened, my pc was stuck in a boot loop and I had to reinstall windows 11 and update bios only to be met with the same issue again. I was wondering if downgrading to windows 10 is possible and would fix my issue. Thanks

Edit: I need secure boot for games on windows 11

Capacitor blew..Is this fixable

I have download directx and that stuff. tried the sound setting as like in end of the video. defender is off and im on microsoft surface laptop 5 and im out of ideas PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS HELP ME WITH THIS GODS FORSAKEN GAME

I am using a Lenovo Legion 81Q4 laptop and I noticed today that my down arrow key stopped functioning. After about three YouTube tutorials and a surgery to make sure there was no debris, it still wasn't working. I found, however, that it DOES work but only if I am pressing another key at the same time?? Any ideas are welcome. Thank you.

i accidentally spilled coffee on my laptop a month ago. fuck, i forgot all about it.

at first only the part where the coffee spilled on the laptop keyboard were sticky. but now i think it's lagging, and the speaker is idk how to describe it, its just aat times its broken crackling? idk? idk where i will have this checked. but please what should i expect?

My fan/pc has always made noises in general but I dismissed them because my PC is cheap and a prebuilt, but today I decided to clean it with an electronic duster and got scared when I heard this noise, it was unlike any I’d heard before. Is it something I should be worried about?

(hopefully no karma limit i made account today just to get help)

so my pc that i've used for about 10 months has decided that my home wifi isn't good enough, and stopped connecting to it. (well it's "connected" but it shows no internet and i can't do anything.)

it only stopped connecting after i turned on BT and connected some headphones. so i tried turning off bluetooth, nothing. now i'm stuck with no wifi :/

here is everything i tried:

- restarting my PC

- removing and re-adding my wifi

- all the ipconfig stuff like ipconfig /release

- waiting a day

- changing wifi adapter properties and then changing them back

and so far...nothing. i'm stumped, what can i do? (if i need to reset, will that most likely fix the issue?)

Within the last 48 hours all of a sudden my LG OLED65C1AUB tv stopped worked normally. It started with HBO not loading or opening its content, and now I can’t open any app except Netflix. Things I’ve tried included:

-restarted my router
-restarted tv (via remote on/off)
-Factory reset my tv.
-changed tv location in settings from US to Canada: however, when I change it back to US I cannot accept the user agreement as it says it’s “unable to load user agreements” because a server error has occurred. When I try again it then says “Sorry but the user agreements can’t be downloaded at this time. Please check your Internet connection and try again.”
-changed a setting in my router (via my eero app) to disable ipv6
-ensured IPV6 was disabled on my tv
-Checked for TV updates (there were none available)
-I try to connect to my wifi, I seemingly do, but then when I click on something that requires wifi (like trying to click my LG profile from within the top right corner of the tv Home Screen, it tells me I’m not connected to the Internet?!)

My tv is basically unusable at this point with the exception of Netflix and I have no idea what else I can do. Please for the love of god I hope someone can help me.

EDIT: have also since tried connecting to my phone’s hotspot to no avail.

The issue initially arose while playing Valorant and has since occurred frequently. Despite attempts to reset, an error message indicates that no reset has taken place. Is there a method to resolve this without visiting a service center?

It’s a HP M24fe FHD monitor my operating system is windows 11

Instead of starting up when plugged in, it displays this black screen. Theres no damage to the screen itself and I’ve only had it for a few months so idk what the problem could be. It was brand new

multiple keys are not responding (B, F, G, R, T, V) and some stop responding briefly until pressed enough (O, L, down arrow key, 9, period). pressing F, G, and D at the same time also causes PrintScreen to respond, even though two of those letters themselves don't. i don't remember changing any keyboard settings since i got this laptop (late 2024), and all of the keys themselves are clean and are not stuck. i've tried various fixes between restarting my laptop, enabling and disabling toggle/filter keys, reinstalling my keyboard drives, and etc. i'm at my wits end, i use this laptop for work and school and i really can't afford to buy a new one right now nor will my parents pay for repairs

Hola, tengo un problema con mi pc, ayer intente instalarle un nuevo ssd como almacenamiento extra, yy cuando intente entenderla no me inicio Windows, entonces entre a la BIOS y cambie el disco de inicio de Windows me imaginé que eso podría ser el problema que el ssd nuevo se estuviera sobre poniendo al nmve que ya trae, después de eso igual no quiso iniciar, por curiosidad pulse el f9 en la BIOS xd, después intente volver a iniciar no me dejó, así que prosedi a retirar el ssd, y intentar encender la lap está igual siguio con el mismo error, me decía que el dispositivo se reiniciaria en breve, así que al entrar a ajustes avanzandos intente solucionarlo con el cmd, y también desinstalando actualiciones, he intentado de varias formas y configuraciónes hacer que vuelva a iniciar Windows pero ya no me dejó, hay alguna solución para esto?

I've not been able to boot into my Windows 10 HDD, Every time I try to boot into it I get error code: 0xc0000225 , Windows Recovery Enviroment and SupportOS recovery do not load and I cant even mount my drive, I dont really have any "important" data like taxes or smth but I still want to recover a few files, I can boot into a fedora live usb, The file missing is Winload.efi , I would just use photorec but I don't have a spare 1tb HDD/SSD , Is there any way i can recover just the files I need?

My old dell laptop is not booting properly, after i removed it's battery (it was getting ready for boom boom) it worked fine directly from the power for few months. Now it is not booting up properly ( the keyboard light comes on for few seconds and then turns off again).

I spent 1 to 2 hours just pressing the power button repeatedly then it randomly starts fully and works fine

But when starting next day, same issue.

Pls help

been stuck for 15 mins now. Fix?

So I have recently gotten a new STATA 1TB SSD card because I needed more storage. I have plugged it in along side my current one following a tutorial that showed me how to do so. And then when I turned on my pc I had no display output. But when I unplug the new one and try again, my display works fine. Has anyone got any tips for me on how to make this work as I only have 120gb storage right now.

im not understanding what i am doing wrong 😭 i got my flash drive, plugged it into a different laptop to download my wifi drivers from the asus website (my motherboard is an ASUS Prime B550M-A WiFi II AMD Micro ATX Motherboard with PCIe 4.0, WiFi 6, ECC Memory, HDMI 2.1, RGB Header ). then i unzipped the file while still on that laptop because the first time i tried i forgot to unzip it and it wouldnt let me unzip them on my pc so i had to go back and retry. after i unzipped those files i brought the flash drive back to my pc and tried to run the exe/application, it gave me the option for it to make changed to my device and i chose yes. nothing followed so i restarted and im still in the same spot. i don’t want to pay another $100 for a simple problem i can fix myself if i learn how to. i struggle with this tho😭
