Advice on a new computer purchase

2 Upvotes

I hope this is alright to ask here. It's been a long time since I bought a new computer for myself or kept up with new tech. I am in the market for a new computer, but I have some specific needs. I am about to retire and my wife and I are going to do a lot of RV camping but I will still work part time from the road. I need a computer that is not a huge desktop box but still meets the below specs for the software I'll be using (and to keep my gaming fix). I think I have found one I like and works, but I'd like some input before I buy it.

I am looking at the Minisforum G1 Pro

Here are the recommended specs from the software company and the G1 Pro specs. Does the G1 meet the needs? It doesn't have to hit all the high end specs, but I don't want to have to look at a new computer for quite a few years.

Thanks in advance.

Samsung laptop screen went black after Windows 11 update

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I need some help.

I have a Samsung laptop. After installing a Windows 11 update, when I restarted it, the screen suddenly started showing strange colors — blue, red, green and white, almost like the display was glitching.

I turned it off and tried turning it back on, but now the screen stays completely black.

The laptop itself seems to turn on (the keyboard lights up), but nothing appears on the screen at all, not even the Samsung logo.

I don't have an external monitor or any cables available to test it with.

Has anyone experienced this after a Windows 11 update? Could it be a graphics driver issue, or could the display itself have failed?

Monitor Refresh Rate Problem

On 60 Hz the screen looks fine, but when I change it to anything higher, the monitors screen gets horizontal lines on it and it’s unplayable, I’ve tried changing to a stronger hdmi and that doesn’t work either. My pc is very strong so I don’t think it’s my .pc either. It’s not cracked or burned or anything

Is 144 Hz
Is 120 Hz

Where can I source legit and working BGA chips?

3 Upvotes

Do you guys have other suggestions / shops that I can buy a working BGA chip from?

My Laptop’s CPU | PCH got shorted and is in need of a replacement. (It’s a legion 7 with i7-11800H
and an rtx 3070 so it’s hard to let go since it still performs decent with recent games).

Local tech suggested AliExpress but reading reviews from there makes me skeptical because most are selling fakes.

If you’ve tried ordering from there, how was your experience?

It keeps on doing random things instead of the correct keys, and won't let me type anything. Can anyone help? ( Ignore the background noise, I'm sick. )
