Hiiii my husband loves video games, primarily red dead redemption 2, gta, league of legends, mafia, and lots of Fortnite with me. He has had the same computer since eight grade (he is 25). He doesn’t like to spend money on himself and has told me not to buy one for him cause he thinks it’s too expensive. I’ve saved up so I was hoping to get him a nice gaming pc for Christmas. Any you would recommend for those games?

I am tech savvy in terms of modding and running computers just absolutely terrible and picking out one. Thanks in advance!

this F thing has been showing after every startup and i dont know what it is or how to turn it off i tried the task manager but it doesnt show up when i check the startup section. What is it even? probably useful to mention i am not the first person to use this laptop beforehand it did belong to someone else but yeah

New to pc gaming, I currently have a Mac that runs steam and I pretty much only play farming simulator. I’m looking to upgrade my set up but I’m not a computer person at all and looking for recommendations on gaming pcs that can run farming simulator or similar games. My budget is around $1500 any recommendations?

So I have a 1 TB External SSD that I've been running Linux mint on for quite a while now. I partitioned half of the drive to Linux. Now I need to install windows 10 and I plan on using the other half of the external SSD if I can. I have no way to back it up/ move it to a different drive, so I need to get it right the first time. I have a few questions.

1. Is windows going to mess up my Linux install in any way? If so, is there any ways that I can protect the Linux partition from windows?

2. Is there anything I should keep in mind when dual booting from the same drive, with Windows and Linux installed alongside?

3. Is there any way to stop windows completely from having ANY access to the Linux partition.

Sorry if these seem like basic questions, but I appreciate all the help I can get so thanks

P.S. I read the rules and I have to state my system specs so here goes:

I use windows 11 on my internal drive, and Linux mint on my external drive. I have

CPU: 11th Gen Intel© Core™ i7-1195G7 @ 2.90GHz x 4, GPU: Intel Corporation TigerLake-LP GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics]

RAM: 7.8 GB

I want to build out a full sim rig but with PC prices right now, building a new PC is basically impossible on top of finishing my rig, so I want to use my current PC for both. But I want to be able to swap between using the screens on my desk to only having my PC only outputting to the screen on the rig.

Is there a display switch interface where I can have 2 profiles and swap between the two, where I have my main screens set to one profile and I can swap it to turn those off and onto the one screen in the rig?

Yeah so Ive noticed these white foggy edges on my PC monitor. Screenshotting it and dragging it to my other monitor it looks fine. So is it that the monitor is too old or something?

Hello, I am considering buying this computer for 3160 euros which is quite a lot for someone with no fixed income😅 Therefore I need some human opinions and not just ChatGPT validating me.

What I will need the computer for is to run windows and it should be able to run apps like SolidWorks, Matlab, other licensed software that my uni provides. I will use my older thinkpad laptop to run the computer on as a «virtual machine» since I have Linux on my laptop and that’s a problem for alot of the programs my uni requires that we use. I want it to run well and not generate a crash report anytime I start modeling something a bit complex with many parts in SolidWorks, I also want it to be reliable and to last a long time.

My previous computer I spent like 1000 euros on was a lenovo yoga slim that literally lasted me only 2 years before deciding to never turn on again, which is why I switched to Linux in the first plaace, however that won’t work while I study. So I really need the new computer, and I want to buy it stationary because I feel like laptops are overpriced for less performance.

Any thoughts or things I should think about before buying?

Thanks in advance🫶🏼

Around 6 months ago everything started, at the beginning it was just a line on the screen popping on and off, with time it changed to multiple lines and than some graphic/color glitches and now it looks like in the picture, my question is why did that happen and how can i avoid this type of problems for the future? This monitor is maybe a year old and usually something like that never happened to my older monitors for years.

i am looking for a good gaming laptop with atleast an i7 processor that can ship to hungary. i am in america but i have tried to ship an acer from amazon to my friend for her bday, but it is a nonstop cycle of amazon putting my account on hold and asking me to verify my id and payment method and then when my account is reinstated and i reorder it, i get the same email to verify everything again. I would rather use a marketplace other than amazon. if anyone can recommend sites id appreciate it very much

i recently upgraded my motherboard and gpu and had a good while where it worked but within the past two weeks whenever its put under load my pc will just shut off. i looked it up and it said it could be my gpu but after reseating and running some stress tests it seemed fine. i dont wanna waste money on a new gpu if its not the problem so any help will be appreciated.

Gpu; AMD radeon rx 6600 xt

Cpu; AMD ryzen 5 5600G

Firstly if this type of post isn’t allowed then I apologize, I looked at several different subs and it stated I couldn’t make this type of post…. I know nothing about computer specs, or hardware reliability. My son’s Christmas gift this year is going to be a gaming PC, he’s been asking for one for years and he’s 15 now and this is the year he’s getting one and he is aware. I am going to purchase it today he let me know the model he’s been eyeing is on sale and it’s a good deal, however I’m unsure if it’s outdated or low quality. With such a high price I want to make sure what I’m buying him will not be a disappointment in the long run.My concerns are will this PC run most modern games and its lifespan. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Recently I was using my PC and decided to play something, i tried opening a game from steam and nothing happened, when i checked better, the game was running on background. I tried rebooting and nothing, then i checked task manager and my the disk was 100% constantly. I use this hard drive for storage since my SSD is small, so all my games stay on the drive, after trying to run the game but in the SSD instead, it worked normally. my file manager also starts dying when I open the drive from there, And transfering or opening anything else there is super slow. I really want to fix this since a lot of important stuff is in there, hope anyone can help.

I saw a pineapple logo named Elara running in the background before I shutdown my computer. Is it safe?

Hello, we just received and installed this Dell U4924DW monitor yesterday and there is this black mark (around 0.2 - 0.3 cm). I contacted with dell customer care and they said this is not a dead pixel. What should I do about this and what do you think this is? And I also don't have the box so I am not sure if I can refund it

My ram's rgb light isn't turning off (Kingston FURY Beast RGB 16GB 6000Mhz DDR5). I have tried to remove it from the slot and change the slot, same things. Also it is stuck in the same rgb. I can't even change the color or the pattern from Mystic Light software. Is this common? what is actually wrong? Has this happed to any one else?

TIA for any information

Images show my last known senors while my PC was frozen, Other image is the Critical errors, The oldest being the time the power went out.

Windows 11

A few days ago the power went out briefly and every since my computer has been running fine except for not crashing when I play select games.

The Outlast Trials will either crash only the game or in extreme cases BSOD my PC, THE FINALS has only crashed the game itself, Not my PC at this stage. The only other game I have played since issues started is Risk of Rain 2 which I had zero problems but I'm wondering if the power going out has some affect on my PC.

Things I've tried:

• Lowered game graphics (All games run buttery smooth at max settings despite this issue)
• Update drivers.
• Verify games.
• Reinstall games.
• Force run games on DX11
• I've also taken off the side panel of my PC to see if I can get some more airflow as it's almost summer in Australia.

My CPU temp peaks at the mid 70s during games however the BUS load intermittently hits 100%

I'm not too tech savvy with this kind of stuff so if anyone could spot anything weird here that would be a great help. I am currently using OCCT to stress test and find any problems, No luck so far. Is there an easy way to add crash logs here? I've tried to provide as much information as possible but if anything else is needed, Please let me know :)

Hi! Friend had this problem. I advised to disconnect from internet. Before Notebook was not possible to shut down. When internet was disconnected it was possible to shut down PC. We left internet disconnected and deinstalled chrome due to the fact it was suddenly set to Russian.

Do you have any advice what else to do here?

I wanted to download crystal disk info and checked its also available in Microsoft Store and looks legit, so is it?

Thanks guys
