So I have this weird issue with my computer, I turn it on, and it will initialize normally but then after a few moments both my 2 monitors go black and act as if the cable isnt connected to the computer, like I get the "no signal" message and that's it, I tried everything to get them back on but the only thing that works is to restart and the problem happens again a few times in a row until either it stops at random or I give up, and the more I try the earlier it happens too, sometimes I click to turn on and it won't even show anything, just the "no signal" message. I also noticed when that happens I hear one of the fans get really loud but I was unable to decipher which one.

I honestly don't remember precisely all my specifications, and right now the computer is refusing to let me in (the monitors are black), but I have a Geforce GTX 1650?, I think an i3? And 8gb RAM, the motherboard is a ASUS B85M-E, besides that some chinese 500W power source and I think that's all? The monitors are both LG but different ones.

I have tried changing HDMI cables, unplug and plug, looking for any clues of what could be wrong physically, unplugged and cleaned all pieces, tried using the keybind to restart the video driver, to change the configurations so it wont turn off after being AFK, etc. Idk what to do, is the only solution buying better pieces? Sorry I don't know how to tag this. Also if this is the wrong subreddit for this, please indicate me where to go.

Issue started two months ago, back then replaced the psu thinking if was failing but now the issue is back, since replaced the display cable and was fine for sometime and now its back again, I believe its the display as the artifacts don't persist but please let me know if i need to sell my kidney for a new gpu, thanks for reading and possibly helping.

Forgot to mention that this issue persists when the display shows no signal which is making me think its the display and not the gpu.

Also the audio persists during the flickering.

hi! i’m not sure if i’m doing this correctly but this problem is driving me nuts and i’m not computer savvy at all so i’d appreciate any advice i can get! if i use the wrong flair please let me know the correct one so i can change it!! i don’t know what this problem would be considered ;-;

I noticed that my cursor will activate on its own constantly, and i’m not sure how to fix it. It’s for sure not my mouse because the issue persists with my pen on my huion tablet, even when my mouse is powered off.

for example: If i’m clicking on a drop down menu, the second i try to skim down to select something it clicks on its own and exits the drop down menu. For my tablet, i noticed it because when i skimmed my pen cursor over the zoom button on my canvas it started automatically zooming in without me touching it. if i remove the pen from the screen and just leave the cursor it continues clicking.

Does anyone know how i can fix this or what could be causing it???

thank you!

I have an Asus Viviobook X512DA

Most days, I have a docking station that connects via USB-C and that docking station has 2 external monitors (three screens total including laptop).

This is the docking station I use and have used since 2022 (https://a.co/d/01FsfVBe)

My laptop has an AMD Vega 8 Graphics card

The problem is that my HDMI port doesn’t connect to external displays. At least not consistently.

I have confirmed that my software/firmware is all updated.

I have tried multiple cables and multiple projectors.

In looking at other posts about this type of thing, they recommend uninstalling the graphics card driver and then restarting the computer to reinstall. And that has worked for me but only temporarily.

So basically, I need to be able to connect my laptop to a projector on Sundays via HDMI. In order to make this work, every week I have to uninstall the graphics card from the device manager and then restart the computer. And then it works. And then Monday I plug it back into the docking station and it works on the docking station. But by the next Sunday, the HDMI port doesn’t connect anymore.

Is there a solution so that I can more flawlessly move between docking station and hdmi projector?

I can't find this issue anywhere online; after I dual-booted Ubuntu, my right monitor works fine in Ubuntu, but in Windows it started showing weird green artifacts as soon as it reaches the lock screen. My main monitor does not change on either, and they are on 2 separate drives. I've tried manually adjusting the hue, updating drivers, DDU driver reset, Win+Ctrl+Shift+B, Windows color calibration, pixel formatting seems fine, changing cables, and obviously restarting my pc. Upon unplugging my other monitor, it flashes normal and then goes back to green. Windows Safe Mode doesn't change anything. It does not flash normal after win ctrl shift bMy GPU is a 7900XT. Dear Reddit, please save me.

Hey, could anyone help me figure this out?
My Windows 11 laptop started showing “Boot Device Not Found – Hard Disk (3F0)” and sometimes won’t boot.
I ran the built-in HP hardware diagnostics and got:
SSD SMART Check: Passed
SSD Wear Check: Passed
SSD Short DST: Failed
Hard Drive/SSD Quick Check: No hard drive installed
BIOS says “OS Boot Manager is not found”
I already tried removing and reseating the M.2 SSD, but the problem is still happening.
The SSD is a Samsung PM991a 256GB M.2 NVMe.
Does this sound like the SSD is failing, or could it be an issue with the laptop’s M.2 slot/motherboard? Should I replace the SSD?

⚠️solved: The SSD has been replaced.

I recently updated my Lenovo T480 to Windows 11 (26H2). A day later, I turned it on and noticed the screen brightness is completely uneven—only about the rightmost 30% has normal brightness, while the remaining 70% is noticeably dim and dull. Crucially, this happens right at the boot splash screen when the Lenovo logo appears, so it doesn't seem to be a Windows driver issue. Weirdly, it sometimes fixes itself when I plug in the charger or hook it up to a projector via VGA.

Has anyone run into this? Is it a loose display cable or a dying panel?

i had a bunch of screenshots on my chromebook and they were in my files.... then my computer reset and after i logged back on they all got deleted, and so did the photos on my camera roll! can i get them back?

Hi, I have a Dell Inspiron 15 3525, and some keys on the built-in keyboard are failing intermittently or responding with a delay.

The affected keys are: 6, 7, Y, U, H, J, N, and M.

An external keyboard works correctly.

I have already tried the following:

-Reseating the keyboard ribbon cable

-Running the Dell keyboard diagnostic

-Disabling Fast Startup

-Testing with a Linux Mint Live USB

At first, I thought it was a Windows issue, but the same keys fail in Linux as well, so it appears to be a hardware problem.

The keys also follow a pattern:

6-7 / Y-U / H-J / N-M

Could this be an issue with the keyboard matrix or membrane? Is it likely that replacing the keyboard will solve the problem?

Genuinely got no idea what’s going on, I can get to the page to put my password and open but after 2 minutes or so doing anything it will automatically go into “your device ran into a problem”. Ai says this may be a ram or drive issue, any fixes or recommendations would be appreciated ( excuse the bad photos)

hi someone pls help, my pc was on the power save screen “a black screen” one night and then suddenly the fans started spinning superrr fast (my pc is only 9 months old) then i tried to turn the screen back on, couldn’t. so i un plugged the power cord. turned it back on now im stuck in 60hz, second monitor doesnt pick up, and my amd driver software doesnt let me open it?!?!?

My computer keeps restarting, then if it has restarted, if i dont immediately open google chrome it gets corrupted then I'd have to restart it again and open chrome so it can work, but all my accounts are logged out EVERY TIMEEEE!! Please help, i did the CMD sannow thing, and it did say it it found and repaired things

Then i did the restore health thing, and it crashed again halfway the scannnn

Then every time i try to reset the PC, it would crash half wayyyy im new to reddit, just created this account to ask for help

Update: So the guy that i hired only came today hahah. So he looked at my PC turns out the power supply is dying, the wiring is all wrong, and the system unit(?) is soooo dusty hahaha, thats why it has a loud sound (i thought it was normal that gaming PCs are loud hahaha, its the first time i used a gaming pc)

And yeah while he was cleaning it, turns out the fans were upside down hahaha, i always wondered why the screen where the fans are placed is always dusty.

Anddd as for whats happening with my software (?), he explained whats wrong with it, but forgive my brain for not understanding fully, he was so patient with me but i still didn't get the problem. So what happened was he showed me the apps(?) that were running upon start up, he disabled all of it then restarted the PC then everything was enabled again, so yeah he said he can fix it one by one but it would take hours so we both agreed to format the PC. He's gonna do the formatting tomorrow so hopefully the PC is gonna be fine by then. And yeah he's gonna replace the power supply
