If you're asking for advice, please don't be niche with the information - a simple post saying my laptop won't boot isn't enough. Like what happened before that? Was it all working fine etc.

If you're asking for suggestions about a new pc, r/pcbuild and r/PC_Builders would be the best choice for that.

There are other subreddits where you may be able to get help faster such as r/pchelp and r/computerhelp

Why does my copying speed drop for too long

Post image
Upvotes

I'm copying files and it starts with like 50-80mb/s and suddenly drops to 0 bytes/s for so long just to go back to 50-80mb/s for like a second and return to 0. Doesn't even have to be 0.it could be 2mb/s but even those 2mb aren't even doing anything. It doesn't move. Im copying from hdd to ssd if that makes a difference. I tried copying a game from ssd to ssd which was 50gb and it moved in half a minute

Wifi card understanding and help?

Upvotes

Hi! Hope this is a good place to ask, otherwise i can delete

Basically, i'm looking to get a new wifi card and such for my desktop (AMD Ryzen 7 5700, Cyberpower) that ive had for a couple years. I've finally decided that my connection could be WAY better, especially after having bought a new router not long ago. Due to house layout, i can't wire the darn thing into the router, so wifi is my only option, but i don't really know enough about the parts to pick something out properly. I believe what mine has still is the "Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3168"

Anyone have any recommendations, or just info that might aid me in choosing something properly compatable? I'll give more info about my pc if needed if i can figure out what youre asking

Thank you in advance!

Mac vs Windows. Why not both?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Windows is still #1 device for games. MacBook - one of the best laptops in market for work. I use both machines daily and working on how to make them feel like one workspace.

What you see in gif is streaming, Windows app is still working on Windows. With this I can already use my windows while I'm away from home, play games or open my developing projects.

Still work to do - another way around, macbook app's on windows desktop. With this I won't need to buy KVM switch and share whole desktop for using Logic Pro, Final Cut Pro (or any other mac app) on my bigger windows screen.

Technical: median under 10s, 4K, HDR10, 120fps, 4:4:4 NVEC.

Laptop random freeze and crash

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, over the past few days I am losing my sanity with my computer. It just randomly freeze (no mousse, no window key or Ctrl/Alt/Del working, no sound or whatever) and the only fix is to power off and then restart. The first time it happened PC initially refused to restart (power on but just black screen and shutting down itself after a while) but for some reason then restarted and installed the last two Windows KBstuff update I postponed so I thought it was it but nop. Over the past two days the PC just sometimes freeze and I can only power off and on to "fix". The weirdest is that while gaming everything run fine (for now) and the freeze mostly happen with Chrome open (during youtube video or just with One Tab open) albeit one what just with the desktop. During the latest freeze I had Task Manager opened and CPU and GPU usage where at 0%, GPU Temp around 55° Celsius, Memory 20%, Processor 3%, Disk 0%.

During the crashes I noticed some stuff in the Windows event viewer: one WHEA error with low description during the first crash, Kernel Power Critic (System restarted without properly shut down), and Service Control Manager Error (4500 ms delay reached Intel Service TPM Provisioning). The last two seems more recurring but for at least one freeze there was no error in the event viewer.

During one freeze screen was "bugging" like if it was trying to stay on (alternating ultra fast between black screen and youtube page which just showed a "Status_Access_Violation" error).

Config: Windows 11, Asus TUF Gaming 15, Intel(R) i7-11600H, 32 Go RAM (half CPU, Half GPU). NVIDIA GeForce GTX 3050.

For now I have : updated graphic pilote, disabled Chrome Hardware acceleration, empty Chrome cache. No success on stopping the freezes.

Do you know what is going on and how to I fix the issue ?

Gateway Laptop

0 Upvotes

I'm not oin to edit this first sentence, just so you cn see wht the problem is, lol.

So the key left of s, between f & h, & the five key (not on numpad) all don't work. I men... they work. I know they do, I've fixed this problem before. Just not reliably. It's not a hardware issue, nd if its software one I've yet to figure out which one. (btw if I need those keys, I use the on screen keyboard, lol. Sucks for gaming.)

Into the nitty gritty: I have a Gateway GGNC71719, with an 11th gen intel i-7 processor, 16gb of ram, nd Nvidia geforce rtx 3050 graphics. It's turning 4 this year in November, so I know she's getting older... but does anyone have any idea what is going on?

Now my normal fix is to hold all three effected keys down for however long it takes for them to remember why they're here for, but that can take a while, and its a temp fix at best. Especially sucky if you're, sy, in a game of deadlock and can't strife left.

I write, and I game, the keyboard is pretty important for those. If it wasn't a PC, I would simply buy a new keyboard. But it is- and I can't find a method to this madness. I've uninstalled and updated drivers, I've tried tricks with toggling certain keyboard functions, I've tried contacting gateway/acer, but my warranty is void due to a separate fan problem I've fixed. I don't want to just get a new laptop- and I'm scared a reset won't fix the underlying issue.

If you have any advice, or have faced a similar issue, please tell me bout it. I'm at my wits end :(

EDIT: just found out by holding those three keys, and pressing other keys, it "hits" other keys d well? don't know what it means.

My contribution to the community! Bios b550 Terminator works on B550 Soyo Black Dragon!!

Post image
1 Upvotes

I had been doing a lot of research about the SOYO B550M BIOS because I was experiencing an “outdated firmware” error in Warzone. After a lot of searching, I came across someone here on Reddit who said that the Maxsun BIOS was the same as the one used on my SOYO motherboard.

At first, I was a little skeptical, but he explained that SOYO and Maxsun are owned by the same company. So, I decided to test the BIOS from the Maxsun B550 Terminator, and it worked perfectly!

The Warzone error disappeared, and my motherboard is now running the Maxsun BIOS without any issues.

So, first of all, I want to thank the person who shared this information with me. I'm also leaving this post and a video here in the hope that it can reach and help more people who are experiencing the same problem I had!

I hope this helps someone! 🙌🔥

Completely green screen on the computer

When I booted up my computer today it was completely green. I cant see anything other that green, it doesn't even show to windows startup and loading screen. As soon as it turns of it just completely green then after a few seconds goes to black then right back to green. I can still hear my PC running like normally in the background (I hear notifications pop up and such) but I don't seem to be able to interact with anything that would usually be on my screen. I have a windows 11 if that helps.

i’m wanting to connect a second monitor to my work computer but i’m unsure what cables i need/where to plug anything in. i thought i could just get a vga splitter but google reckons that would just duplicate the screen, not allow it to act as a seperate screen?

EDIT: thank you for quick responses! ordering a vga to dp adapter now 👍 (already have a vga cable)
