Need help with computer gaming computer builder

So around 2 weeks ago my lenovo laptop started to startup slower. Once actually taking 3 hours! Now today my laptop has completely lost it. It starts up by showing the lenovo logo as normally but after roundabout 3 minutes it just says:"windows has encountered a problem and is restarting your computer" it then restarts shwing the lenovo logo and the loading circle but then it also says windows found a problem and is restarting again. And then the cycle repeats itself again.

What can i do to fix it? Please help

Facebook against YouTube???? Facebook stopping YouTube Videos from Loading. gaming computer builder

Sorry, not sure where else to post this. This isn't a chance for me to rag on Facebook or YouTube, but I have noticed something and wonder if others have noticed the same.

A few times now I will have Facebook and (as an example - Reddit) open in separate window. I'll open a link to a GIF or a YouTube Video from Reddit, and the video refuses to load. The YouTube page loads fine, but the video will not run until I close Facebook.

Could it be the some script or some aspect of Facebook is intentionally or unintentionally blocking YouTube. Though I'm most often linking to something on YouTube, I'm not sure the effect is confined exclusively to YouTube.

Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Again, nothing against either site. I use Facebook everyday and I use YouTube everyday, it is merely by chance that I noticed this conflict. Consistently when this happens, if I close Facebook, the YouTube video will immediately load.

I have a new Dell Inspiron 3650 with the latest Win-10 installed (i5-6400, 8Gb RAM, basic GeForce video).

Not sure how or why these two websites would interact with each other in this way.

Hard drive test gaming computer builder

I just bought 21 hard drives in bulk. Many are not formatted, some may be broken. I also have an external hard drive connector. What can I do to test them? Also how would I go about formatting them.

Formated a 8 gb SD Card, got a 16 MB card in return. gaming computer builder

Title.

I couldn't move files into my micro sd card using an adapter or micro usb. I tried formatting but for some reason it only said 16 mb (I only realized after formatting)

What I had tried before formatting: * Making sure the lock was off. * Using 2 different adapters. * The regedit method.

On disk manager, it showed the 7.21 gb ready, but now it doesn't even show the sd slot.

I think this may have to do with the registry key I added. I deleted it but no luck.

E: I formated it from my phone, it showed and still shows 7.91 gb, but the pc doesn't recognize it now.

Is it me or windows 7 is just better? gaming computer builder

I've been on windows 10 forever on this lenovo gaming laptop I bought a few months back, windows 10 is laggy and choppy. Chit that shouldn't have issues does and lag for instance the window menu that pops up with the windows key takes time and lags, file explorer and just dumb stuff. Higher then normal cpu usage, ram and diskdrive. Some games take forever to load that use to not give me a issue on my old rig such as wow legion and black desert online. They take forever to load up and get in game.

I blamed my HDD hybrid for it because its frustrating, but today Installed windows 7 and dual booted it along windows 10 and wow, just overall it feels much better and snappy. No real delays or lags in doing little things like I did on windows 10, both legion and bdo are much faster then on windows 10. And overall it just feels much better and how it should.

Anyone else with a similar experience? Is this legit or is it just since its a fresh install with nothing on it?

Can a computer (runing tails) BIOS be coruppted just as easily as the firmware of a usb (containing tails) flash drive? gaming computer builder

Hi, I'm very concerned about installing tails on a usb flash drive, as well as storing sensitive information on veracrypt volumes (residing on a usb flash drive) as the firmware could be tampered with (either before installation or stoled and replaced afterworlds).

This security concern has been a very debilitating problem of late (I live in a totalitarian country) and I was wondering.

Is it just as easy for an attacker (that has physical access to the target's hardware) to infect the bios of the computer on which tails is run as it is to infect/alter the firmware of a usb flash drive?

And would using a computer with Libreboot (https://libreboot.org), prevent against the computer's bios being corrupted?

Quick Question About USB Cables gaming computer builder

OK you have 4 wires (Green, Red, White and Black) wrapped in a tin foil like sheathing and there is a braided sheathing around that.

My question is does that braided sheathing have to be connected for USB to work?

I have a Radio Face plate that has a broken USB Port. I cannot find a replacement port anywhere. What I done is I took an USB Extension cable, Cut the Female end off and soldered it onto my face plate in place of the existing USB Port.

I did not connect the Braided sheathing. The Radio is not recognizing any USB Device I plug into it.

Video compressing/enchanting gaming computer builder

I have searched for subreddit for this, but i guess i don't find right keywords. Same with google..i find shit, but i don't have enough data to use, to check them all out (software i mean). So...Does someone know any software what is capable fixing (enchanting is right term i guess..not sure) quality ? Ive searched around, watched tutorials but can not find anything good. I have 30GB avi file. 640x480. 2h long. Like numbers say...its bad. Captured video with vlc and with very old webcam (only win xp supports it). Compressing/converting isn't actually a problem. With same res, i could get it down to 1,1gb [with sound (mp4/mkv)] and if needed, even more. After trying to fix image quality (res to 1080p, messing with colors etc.), it's same or even worse. Tried different products for that. What am i missing here ? ex. "Cheech & Chong Un In Smoke" 1978 year movie. I have it 1080p and it looks great. I've seen it with original quality, it is shit. I know that much, that all kind of video editing/converting/compressing needs power...and time. I have both. Only thing i don't have is unlimited data.

Needing some advice on cloud security? gaming computer builder

I don't know much about the security and safety of cloud computing.

Someone was using my computer and they basically dragged and dropped or used the keyboard commands (I'm unsure which) to move hundreds of personal files to a cloud storage service from my computers harddrive. I used the cloud storage service known as Box (Box.com), the programme for this service runs in the background, so when she was using the computer and did this all of the files were uploaded straight away. She didn't realise that she had done it and on my phone I can see all the files are now stored in the cloud.

All of the files contain personal information (financial data, insurance documentation, receipts, etc.), it's all stuff that I am not sure is safe in the cloud. Normally I only store photos, some songs and stuff like that. Some of the files she uploaded are encrypted using DiskUtility 256-bit encryption and a complex password so I am not concerned about some of the files, but several hundred are not encrypted and if someone gets a hold of my password they'd be able to see them all. I have turned on two step verification, but my worry is that there are not safe on Box.com's servers.

I'd be grateful for any advice to put my mind at ease, is this something I should be worried about? Will deleting the data straight away be safer than leaving it there (or does it not matter now that it is up there already)? Are they safe?

Purchasing a computer. What do I need to run three monitors gaming computer builder

Hi All.

I am purchasing a desktop to run a small home business. I will be performing tax and accounting services. The software that I plan to run is PFX engagement, quickbooks and Drake tax. I do not believe that processing will be an issue. However, my number one concern is being able to run three monitors at a time.

Please advise me on the best way to run three monitors (graphic cards, splitters for VGAs, etc.).

Flashing a new bios (first time for me) gaming computer builder

So I've got to flash a new bios for my recently completed budget build gaming computer. This is my second system. Just needed something that will handle what I need at a low cost.

To properly optimize this system to get the performance I'm hoping for, I need to flash a new bios. This is something I've never done before and I don't know how to go about it.

Through a trusted computer builder, I was given a download link for the new bios. I have downloaded the file. It sits as a .rar file on my desktop.

I've gone into the bios and found where I flash the bios, but I don't know how to select this file as the file to update from and I'm just generally unsure of what I'm doing.

I also tried putting it on a USB and doing it from there but it didn't work. After some online reading, there's something about making the USB a pen drive or something. I don't know.

If anyone could tell me how to get from A to B with simple words, it would be so greatly appreciated.

Post Script

Before people put it in the comments, I know there's a risk of bricking the board if the power goes out.

The computer has a 4 core @ 3.00ghz, hd5850 black and really top quality parts. Cost less than $100 Canadian or $75 USD.

I can make a post about it if people are interested, but I would like to post specs and to do that, I need the proper bios.

Thanks to anyone who helps :)

I have an Intel educators kit from the early 90s that has a real motherboard gaming computer builder

So I was recently in contact with an old middle school science teacher and she told me that the school was throwing this kit away and that it was sitting in a back room for years just collecting dust, so I accepted and now I have this kit. I was unable to find much info about this online other than this page. There is a VHS with a video as well, which I have yet to watch, but I plan on ripping it and probably put it up on vid.me or something. Also, the actual motherboard in the kit seems to be real, although sadly the processor was a sample. When I got it, the battery on the motherboard had leaked and there was some acid near it, which I cleaned using white vinegar and a toothbrush. There were no video cards or anything like that as this board was just to show kids what the inside of a computer looked like. Although it appears a small part of the board was dissolved, I still want to try to get it to work. I'll probably buy and old PSU and video card, just to see if it boots up at all. There was also a pretty cool poster (2 of them actually) that I'll probably hang somewhere. Comment if you want to see any more pictures of a specific thing or want a close up or something. I will also scan all of the papers from it and probably upload those tomorrow.

Has anyone been seeing this? gaming computer builder

Off the back, please forgive my terrible writing. English is my 3rd language.

A little background on myself. I've been in computer repair business for slightly over ten years, primarily doing things like virus removal and windows reinstall. So I'm familiar with tools in bleepingcomputer.com, MBAM, and regular typical differential diagnosis process.

A few weeks ago, I was in a business onsite with a client complaining that they were unable to go online and the only thing that would show up in their browser is the picture I post in here, "your connection is not private." I did some research before heading over, thinking it's probably the time/date settings or DNS/SLL related issues but it was none of those. Here are some other "weird symptoms".

1) All computers that are connected to the network (1 laptop and 1 desktop in different rooms) are having the same problem, almost exactly the same time. 2) All browsers are having the same error. 3) According to the client, it happened once but it "automatically went away" after a while.

I was only there for an hour and was only able to do a quick diagnosis on one of the two computers. Here's what I found

1) NEG on MBAM/ComboFix 2) Time/DATE are correct 3) Flushed DNS and restored SLL settings 4) RESET browser settings

This is where things are getting strange

Last week I went to Starbucks, and long behold, I see the same message in Chrome on my Google Pixel, reset my Chrome browser started to work again. Today, I have a client that coming in telling me that her laptop wouldn't connect to the internet at home, we tried logging in with my WiFi without any problems. I told her if she took a picture of the page when she tries to go online. She showed me the same message.

Thoughts?

Task bar keeps popping up periodically gaming computer builder

So I noticed the past few days that periodically if I'm in a program that otherwise hides the task bar (such as full screening a video or launching a game), the task bar will periodically pop up again. The example I screenshot was from a full screen YouTube video, where I was watching and then at the bottom the task bar shows up, and I have to click in the video to make it go away. For the game example, I'm not sure if this is the same issue, but it will occasionally minimize the game to the desktop, and I have to click the game's program icon on the task bar to resume playing it again. The image linked is what it looks like when the task bar pops up on a full screen YouTube video.

I'm looking for a slim metal laptop to do some light gaming (Rocket League, Grand theft Auto) as well as basic school work. I was looking at the Razer Blade Stealth (899)but that was a little too privy.

I saw an Asus Laptop with similar specs (only difference was the screen resolution) with an i5 7200u, 8 gigs of ram and 256 SSD for 529.

Is that the best I can do for around 500? Does anyone recommend anything else? I would prefer a skinny metal body but ill take plastic if it means better specs at around 500.

Accessing other users files on windows 7. gaming computer builder

I ran into an issue the other day and well it's not going smooth at all. It seems that one of my accounts on my PC is, how to put bluntly? Yeah, totally obliterated. So I kicked on safe mode and made another account, and things seem to be going swimmingly until I tried launching a game. They have to re download apparently, and I KNOW I have the files on my HDD but they're on the other user account. So is there a way to strip those out to the new user without trying to open the portal to Hades that is my old user?

EDIT: I fully understand that I need to fix my PC (actually a whole new build) yet I don't have the needed funds to do that until my taxes get to me. So information just on the key question and problem would be better please. No "you need to fix your computer" stuff, thank you.

I have a queer question. gaming computer builder

Dunno if this subreddit covers monitors, but I need help. I have a 4:3 monitor, but I'd like to game on a 16:9 aspect ratio. The question is, is there a way that I can get the monitor to not stretch the 16:9 aspect ratio, but instead place the display in a cutscene fashion (i.e. with black space in the top and bottom)?

Hard disk drive talk. gaming computer builder

Hey all first post. Got some curiousity about hard drives. I'm selling my laptop and want to know if it's better to sell with or without the hard drive. I know it's easy to get your data back after formatting and reinstalling windows.. and there are some ways of permanently deleting data. What have you guys done before? Am I being to over cautious of the existing harddrive thinking about it to much..?

CPU Downclocking gaming computer builder

Anytime I play a game that is more demanding my i7 3770k down clocks to 1.58 Ghz. All the temps seem normal then randomly it will just go back up to 3.58 Ghz. The pc is about 4 years old. Do you think it is time to replace thermal paste, or change cooler? Currently using a stock intel one, but I don't think temps are the issue. Any ideas?

Noob question regarding video cables/monitors @4k gaming computer builder

Hi,

I've just bought a new desktop PC, which comes with a free 1080p monitor. I went ahead and bought a 28" 4k AOC anyway to be my primary display, which has now arrived but the computer hasn't. My question is about how I can best connect this monitor up to get the full 3840 x 2160 resolution across.

PC has a HDMI and VGA port. 4k monitor has HDMI, DP, VGA and DVI 1080p monitor has DP and VGA.

First question: I have scoured the tech specs and user manual pdfs for the Dell Inspiron 3668 (the PC) and none of them say more than "one HDMI, one VGA" with no reference to version number. If I have a HDMI 2.0 cable and I use it to connect two regular HDMI ports, will 4k@60fps still be achieved?

Secondly, it seems that the analog VGA is the only other option I have for monitor 2. Is this very bad, and are there any adapters that might improve this situation?

Thirdly, both monitors come with DP cables, but I have no use for these as my PC will not accept them. Would it be possible to connect 4k to PC via HDMI and then connect the two monitors together with a DP cable to bypass VGA? I have no idea if this is an actual thing but yeah.

Cheers for your help!

Windows 10 crashing, can't update OS, and now "Activate Windows" watermark gaming computer builder

TLDR: I'm on Windows 10. Computer crashes occasionally and when I try to update the OS. Now I have an "Activate Windows" watermark even though my install is legit.

For a while now, my computer crashes on occasion. It doesn't happen too often so I never really cracked down on it. Most of the times it's a blue screen with errors: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION or WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR. Rarely it'll shut down instantly without any warning and then start right back up.

Besides this, windows has been bugging me to update for a long time. Eventually it will not give me an option and force me to. Every time it does, it crashes and the process repeats. Again, it only happens on occasion so I never tried to fix it.

I also tried sfc /scannow and, at first, it did say there were problems. Now, after running it a few times, it says it did not find any integrity violations.

The other day, when I booted up my PC, I got the "Activate Windows" watermark. Going into settings and hitting activate didn't do anything (just a loading icon for a second and then nothing). The last four digits of the product key displayed does not match my windows 7 product key either. Although, I imagine this just means they gave me a new key when I upgraded. Now, the activate button is completely gone so the only buttons that are there are either "Change product key" or "Go to Store". The "Go to Store" button doesn't even work! It says "Try that again" and provides an error code of 1.

The last time I reinstalled windows, was when I just got a new SSD and the upgrade to Windows 10 things was happening. I told myself this would be the last time I reinstalled Windows because I heard read/writes on SSDs can reduce it's health. Also, if I had to reinstall Window 10 after the year it was free, I wouldn't have the option of reformatting the disk. I thought I did a good job of keeping my PC healthy and fast but now I have these seemingly random problems.

I'm a bit lost as to what I should do now. When it comes to reinstalling the OS, I'm worried about my SSD's health. Also, if I reset windows through what's available in the OS, will that even completely fix it? It seems like my Windows install is messed up, so how do I know that the reset will perform the way it's supposed to? And then once I reset will I still have this activate windows problem?

I'd appreciate any help.

I cant remove this virus. Please Help! gaming computer builder

So for two days I have been trying to remove this virus. This virus, when not in safe mode shows the "Windows Defender has Prevented Malicious Software" scam. It wants me to put in a product key, in which doing so nothing will happen. So I put this PC in safe mode. I have tried everything. I checked task manager for unusual programs, I checked my programs to see If I had any weird programs I never downloaded. I did a bunch of other stuff. This virus will not let me load any anti-malware or anti-virus programs. When I try to do so I am presented with and error sign stating "The requested resource is in use". Worse of all I cant just erase windows. It wont let me into the "Update and Security" tab. I got to the reset option however. I clicked the "Lets get started" button and nothing happened. I kept clicking and eventually It worked, however when I try to reset everything I am told windows cant do that. I'm going assume its the virus. I have tried such programs as rKill, Rogue Killer, AdwCleaner, Spy Hunter, etc. I have looked up the problem on google. I was told it was a Trojan horse named "SmartService". I followed the guide on how to remove it and nothing worked for me. I just don't know what to do. Please help me out!

Slow WLAN and disconnect during specific time gaming computer builder

Hey guys, this is my first post here, I hope this belongs in here, otherwise Id be grateful if you could direct me to the right sub.

Anyway: Recently I had to exchange my router (its a mediabox which provides HD receiver, internet and telephone connection) and in the start the wlan worked like before. Since 4 days tho, my wlan starts lagging and being unable to reconnect during the hours 8 pm-1 am. During all other times, it works fine. If I ping the league of legend server or google server, during these specific times I get ping spikes up to 2000 ms. If I manually disconnect from the network, I cant reconnect to it until I restart the router just to see the same thing happening again 5-10 min later. Weirdly, this only occurs on the 2.4 ghz broadband not on 5.0 ghz. My first thought then was to change channel of the network in my router because it may be overcrowded. My network is now the only on channel 6 but it didnt help. I also ran malware scans offline, reset the wireless adapter, fragmented my HDD and changed DNS servers to the google ones but it didnt help, besides its also occuring on my other devices. The easy solution obviously would be to use the 5.0ghz connection but my laptops wireless adapter doesnt support it. Does anyone here have an idea why this is occuring or what my next steps could be to detect/solve the problem?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Want to sell old computer, how do I wipe hard drive without removing OS? gaming computer builder

Hey, I want to sell my old computer before the value depreciates to null. It runs Windows 7 32-bit but I do not have the original install disc anymore. When I try to restore the system to factory I'm given two options: restore to earlier system image, which there is none unless I create one from today's date? Or a total wipe, which requires the windows installation disc I do not have. Any suggestions on what I might be able to do?

My new computer does have it's Windows install disc but it's for 64-bit, would that be able to substitute for the missing 32-bit disc? Either way, I don't have the key for the old computer windows. Thanks for your help!

my mom got a new computer recently. and we're about to throw out her old crappy one.

i tried reformating by pressing F11 (or whatever it was) at bootup, but that only gives me the option to revert to an older savestate from March 2016, and all the stuff i wanted to remove is still there.
how do i make sure everything disappears?
it runs Windows Vista, i do not have the disk.
i believe the computer is a Compaq brand.

2 in 1 Laptop/Tablet? gaming computer builder

I was looking for a 2 in 1 Laptop/Tablet (for clarity: those that have roteable or detachable keyboard) under 400 euro. I'm mainly interested in doing quick searches, using microsoft office, taking notes, watching videos etc ... with no lag. I found this Asus Transformer Mini, but after discovering that it slows down using Google Chrome, and it is not that suited for multitasking, I gave up.

Does any of you know an efficient product at an affordable price? I repeat, I do not need a tablet for very advanced and heavy programs, although I would not mind that at least it could run Photoshop (I know they provide a pen that you can use with touchscreen) and some little games to pass the time.

Thank you and sorry for the papyrus!

Hello, I am a complete newbie into all the computer stuff and I have recently order a computer and have a few questions. I probably should have done this before buying it, but oh well. Is this computer going to give me 60+ fps considering I mainly play Dota 2 and CS:GO? The advert says that it is 'VR ready', is that true? I would also like to start streaming one day, would it be capable of doing it? I am also aware that this PC does not have a hard drive, just a ssd 120gb, is this going to affect me in any way, knowing that I will only have a couple of games and work for college on it (no movies or pictures). As this is my first desktop pc ever, I do not know much about the monitors either, do I need a 144hz one to have a smooth gaming experience or is 60hz enough? Have you got any suggestions for a monitor around £100, as my budget is pretty low right now. The specs are: Power Supply : EVGA 600W Power Supply 80+ Bronze Motherboard : Gigabyte H110M-HD2 Motherboard CPU : Intel I5 7400 Quad Core 3.0Ghz 7th Gen (turbo 3.5Ghz) CPU Hard Drive : 120gb Solid State Drive Memory : 16gb 2133mhz DDR4 Memory Graphics Card : Latest Geforce GTX 1050Ti 4gb Optical Drive : 24x Dual Layer DVD Writer

random mouse freezes (help) gaming computer builder

I bought a new razer diamondback last November. I've been using it a fair amount since then. Recently, my mouse will freeze in the middle of use and then start moving again 5-10 seconds later. I can still use left and right clicks and all of the side buttons, I can still use the keyboard just fine, and all of the visuals and sounds are happening like normal. It happens during any and every task that I'm using my computer for (gaming, schoolwork, facebook, reddit, etc.). I've updated drivers, ran windows 10 troubleshooting, tried different usb ports. No luck. My scroll wheel has also stopped working entirely. I have never been violent with my mouse in any way. Can anyone give some insight?:) specs: Windows 10, Gigabyte LGA1151 Intel B150 Micro ATX DDR4 Motherboard GA-B150-DS3H, EVGA 500W power supply, Intel Core i5 6500 3.20 GHz Quad Core processor, 8 GB DDR4-2133 MT/s RAM, ASUS Radeon Rx 480 4GB OC edition AMD Gaming Graphics Card

WinRar Automatically Opening System 32 and Prompting Me to Pay gaming computer builder

Recently, everytime I open up winrar, I get prompted that I only have a 40 day trail and that I need to pay. I've had it for about a year now and never had this prompt.

Also, it seems to be opening/ searching through system32 everytime I open it. I know that system32 is extremely important and I'm kinda concerned as to why winrar is using it as a directory.

Any help on what I should do?

Looking for a way to put HDMI-IN on my laptop gaming computer builder

I have a Lenovo Yoga, without HDMI In (Like most computers) But I am trying to see if there is a way to have HDMI In on it, possibly via USB, or another option. Ideally, I just want it to be within a Window on my PC, and not actually use the whole screen as a monitor.

Anyone know if such a thing exists?

Fans never stop running and are super loud even after cleaning them! gaming computer builder

Hi there! For a good four years my A6 vision desktop has been howling from fans going full speed as soon as I boot it up. So today I finally decided to clean up the fans by taking them out, getting all the gunk and dust off of them with 91% isopropyl alcohol, cleaning the heat sink (without taking it out), and dusting the whole case with compressed gas. Turned it on again and it's still howling! Could I possibly have to clean up and put on some new thermal paste? Is it a hardware issue? Should I get new fans? I want to know before I commit to buying anything. Mostly the paste even though it's cheap, but I can barely afford anything right now because of my financial situation and everything has to be a necessity. I can get the fans from a friend, but it might take awhile because of my work schedule. Is it straight forward or am I going to have to experiment?
