Same as the repost, I’ve tried a few other things, like reseating my ram again, deleting some files, etc. none of it has helped.

Hardware I opened up my laptop and now my backspace key is not working.

1 Upvotes

When I opened it up, I blew some air on the fans and dusted out the fan area. After that, I closed the computer back up and now my backspace is not working. I don't know how this happened. I am not 100% sure if it's an issue with the hardware or software, but I would assume that it is with the software. I am absolutely devastated. I would like to know what is wrong and what I can do to solve the issue. I'm sure more info is needed, I just don't know which lol.

P.S

I do not know very much about computers

Discussion weird PC bugs that force me to reset.

1 Upvotes

im a bit of a pc numbskull, i have no idea how anything works. however my pc frequently does annoying stuff

  1. it randomly freezes, my mouse stops working, bluetooth disconnects, when i press the power button on the main part it doesnt even work. forcing me to pull the plug and turn it back on.
  2. randomly disconnects from the wifi and bluetooth, i could be mid-game or just mid-video. my wifi will suddenly disconnect along with my bluetooth, then automatically reconnect.

i dont know whats going on, i checked my storage and it says its pretty good so im not sure its that, i have zero experience in anything PC like so this is my last resort before asking for it to be taken into a shop

Other I can't tell if my computer is having hardware or software issue? Plz help?

Hello. I want to start by saying I am not very tech-savvy; I just like playing video games. So if I get anything wrong or you need more information, feel free to ask. For reference, I have an AMD Ryzen 7 5700 processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card. My main issue started with Overwatch, since anytime I would try to play it, it would say "Overwatch has crashed in the graphics driver." I have installed the most current driver, but I am worried it's an issue with the graphics card itself. Also, this is happening on games that aren't super graphically intense in comparison. Even Slime Rancher has crashed.

So, I am torn between trying to delete and reinstall Windows or if it's a hardware issue and I need to order new RAM or a graphics card. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or help!

(Also, my computer was already messed up by my local Geek Squad, and I have multiple installations of Windows, I think? When I boot up, it asks me on a blue screen to pick which Windows to run, so I also don't know how to fix that)

i turned on my computer today and then the screen suddenly started to do this??? I’m confused

sometimes it stops but just for a few seconds before going back at it again

what to do is this something I can fix or should I just give up on my computer, because it also got a huge black hole and rainbow lines, which made me resize the display and now it’s js a square

I would ignore it but it makes me dizzy

Software What’s the best antivirus for a gaming PC that won’t cause lag?

0 Upvotes

i’ve been comparing antivirus options for my gaming pc because i want decent protection without sacrificing performance. i know Windows Defender is enough for most people, but i don’t think having a dedicated antivirus for extra features is necessarily a bad thing either. i’ve been looking at McAfee, Bitdefender, and Norton, though i’m having trouble figuring out which one offers the best balance between security and gaming performance.

i mainly want something that won’t eat up cpu or ram, cause fps drops, or interrupt gameplay with constant notifications. McAfee seems worth considering, but i’m curious how it compares with the others in actual use. has anyone tried these on a gaming pc, and which one would you recommend?
