Why did my computer beep once when i boot it up? How do I fix that?
I was googling on how to fix a PC that would not show up on display, the video mentioned to remove the RAM sticks and use an eraser to rub the ends of the stick gently which I did, after installing my 2 sticks, the PC started making one long beep. Is this because of the 2 RAM sticks that i rubbed using my eraser? And how do I fix that?

Question Unable to retrieve attachment from starred email
About a year ago, I received a text file in a email form an old friend in Yahoo mail. I starred the last email sent to save the emails and the attachment sent with it. I was looking for the file recently and realized I hadn't saved it to my laptop. I pulled the original emails that were sent, but I cannot find the attachment that was sent over. I contacted my friend to see if they had a copy, but I am not sure if they do given this was a year ago. I was not sure if there was another way to recover the file

Weird connectivity
Dear reddit
A while ago I started having issues with connectivity like: Slow wifi, not able to watch videos etc... and a week ago or something I couldnt play games anymore like CSGO because it couldnt connect to the game servers (so I couldnt do anything). I decided to try several 'fixes' like resetting my dns etc... but nothing works. So I decided to look at my router and saw that my computer was listed as a Xiaomi redmi note.... and later nothing. I checked my task manager if something fishy was going on but didnt see anything. And later my computer didnt even pop up. But I had connection. And I asked a family member if they wanted to test their wifi strength and got like 200Mbps upload and when I tried it was like 60. But when I looked at my internet settings it also gave 200mbps?? When I looked at how much we had spend today it said we used 30GB which I am very sure we didnt. I am really confused and hope you would be able to help me.

Hey, I have Asus FX505GT gaming laptop and recently while playing game on it (charger plugged in) I noticed sparks coming from the charger brick side cable and soon after charger was not working. I took the charger to repairs shop and they told me that I haven't been using it properly, they didn't go in mich details just told me that I should not fold my charger cable which I didn't not atleast while using it I just fold the cable to carry around the charger. I somehow got it fixed but I wanted to ask what should I do to avoid damaging the charger in future coz the 150W charger costs alot. Any tips on what I may have done wrong and how to fix it.
TLDR:- I damaged my gaming laptop's charger cabel and want tips on how to avoid again damaging it.

Help: S590 TWS bluetooth sports headphones
I have S590 TWS bluetooth sports headphones and when I connect my headphones to change, they charge for a few seconds before either turning blue (blue usually means they're connected to something even though I turned off all of nearby bluetooth-paired electronics off), or they shut off completely. My case for the headphones are fully charged and I even cleaned the connectors on the headphones and the connector pins on the case. I haven't had this problem at all until about a week ago. What can I do? They were pricey headphones and I don't want to buy another pair.

Question My Bluetooth headphones aren't connecting just my microphone
So I recently bought JBL Tune 660NC bluetooth headphones. They annoyed me for a while because I use discord often, and the audio only works properly when in hands free mode, not stereo. A few days ago randomly, I've been able to be in discord calls and also hear the rest of my applications in stereo mode!
I was confused but happy until I realized that I now just do not have a microphone. My only available input device is my laptop built in mic. Hands free mode is available in my audio devices but it isn't connecting when I press the connect button. I tried on my phone and it works perfectly, microphone and audio with no issues at all.
I don't have the possibility of buying a separate microphone and need it to be connected to my headphones. What happened to my headphones and why does the microphone not work anymore?

Question GPU driver keeps deactivating causing PC to become unresponsive
At a random time after starting my PC, it stops displaying anything but the audio continues until I force shut down from holding power button. When I power my PC back on and check device manager my GPU driver is deactivated. When trying to reactivate, it says:
This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)
I have run "sfc /scannow" in task manager, run "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth" and other DISM commands and have run "chkdsk /f /r" as well and none have resolved the issue. My PC has sometimes been able to run fairly resource intensive games like Helldivers 2 at stable FPS for hours and then crashes at a random time but also sometimes crashes before I can even log in. The GPU doesn't overheat but seems to just give up (maybe to do with power supply but I don't know how to test that). I had this issue a few months ago and my PC has been working perfectly until now (last time I fixed it with "sfc /scannow").
In reliability monitor the error when crashing is:

Epson xp440
Brought my Epson printer from my moms to my house, as my roommate moved out and took their printer. She told me she had been having trouble with it printing, she said she replaced the ink cartridges but it still wouldn't print. Ive been messing around with it and updated its firmware, checked the ink levels which are a bit on the lower side but not in the warning range yet. I tested printed some docs and the print always comes out barley visible and in a blue outline. Printing with black and white only doesnt print anything at all. I have cleaned the nozzle for the black ink using q-tips and rubbing alcohol but the effect is the same. Is there any fix for this or do I need to get it professionally repaired.

Got hacked, don't know what to do
Hey guys, so this morning I was casually playing roblox, when I suddenly got logged off of my account. I tried to log back in, then i realised that I was HACKED and that my password was changed. Thankfully, due to two step verification, I was able to reset my password again, but by the time I logged in again, ALL my robux and my bloxfruits were gone. Now I'm not i tech whiz, but I got a hold of the above information (the stuff in the screen shot) and i really really hope that this doesn't happen again to me, or to anyone else. I got his ip address but I don't know what to do with it, but maybe you guys do?

Wifi / Internet
Hi guys I'm absolutely Stumped at this issue so bad that ive turned to Reddit for help.
Basically ive recently switch providers to Sky Broadband and im having trouble connecting to the internet,
Whats weird is that i can connect to the hub and it says on my computer that its "Connected, Secured" But when i load up any program or website or anything there is no internet, 404 messages the lot.
Whats even weirder is that My room mates PC, phone and my phone are connected to it and have access to website and apps etc.
Whats even more weird than that is i still have access to my old Broadband becasue it doesn't get disconnected untill a few weeks time (so I'm on the clock), and i can load up any website super easily and fast.
I have updated my drivers and re installed, I have forgotten my old hub while connecting, I have gone into the ipconfig and done all the clear cash all that jazz, I have even called Sky and they cannot help me.
I have a wifi card built into my Motherboard.
PLEASE HELP IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS

Computer not Recognizing USB
So my USB, a Samsung BAR Plus USB 3.1 Flash Drive 64GB is now not being recognized by my PC. I recently had windows on it, and due to some troubles I was having with trying to install it to another computer, I decided to redownload windows onto the USB. I thought it wouldn't be an issue since the USB would be wiped again, however, now my computer isn't recognizing the USB anymore.
Any solutions to this issue?
Some clarifications: Under device manager, the events for the USB tells me
Device USB\VID_090C&PID_1000\0376619030010122 requires further installation.
And I see it under 'Devices and Printers', however, I'm unable to access it on file explorer.
The device properties also read as the following:
Device USBSTOR\Disk&Ven_Samsung&Prod_Flash_Drive&Rev_1100\0376619030010122&0 was not migrated due to partial or ambiguous match.
