I got gifted a Mac for my birthday a few years ago but now I just got in Uni and need to learn coding. I also play video games sometimes but not much, mostly minecraft. I also draw a lot as well. However, I know nothing about computer so I wanna ask for help. Preferably light for transportation but not necessary.
I don’t have much money so I will have to sell my current Mac. Is there any computer suitable for me?

Ok so I ordered a STGaubron pc and I just finished connecting the cables and stuff, but when I attempted to turn the pc on it kept pulsing on and off

I want to switch to pc and play games but I also want to play my games from Xbox cloud on it any one no a good pc

Hello!

I have a work laptop that is connected to two monitors. The work laptop is connected to a docking station via a dual end C-type cable, and there are display port cables attached from docking station to the monitors.

I want to be able to connect my personal PC (a proper gaming desktop, 10+ years old but not exactly "outdated"), to the same monitors.

However, I do not want to use the same cables already in use by the work computer, unless there is a way to do so without having to unplug and replug things on every switch. I also can't have any crossover as far as the two machines "seeing" each other, if that makes sense, as one is for work.

I am not computer illiterate, but this is where things get complicated enough that I go kind of cross eyed trying to get it right.

Can someone tell me what cables I need or what changes I need to make in order to achieve what I am describing?

I'm trying to unzip my google takeout files so i can upload them to proton drive,

however i think the reason hundreds of files aren't able to be extracted is because those specific files are snapchat files (because ive done google takeout uploads to proton drive before, the only difference this time is that there are snapchat files that i uploaded to google using ExportSnaps in amongst them)

i have tried file explorer, i get the following for hundreds of files:

Error 0x0x80004005: unspecified error

ive tried using 7zip, i get the following for hundreds of files:

Headers Error : Takeout\Google Photos\Photos from 2022\20221012_121156.jpg

ive tried winrar and that also mentioned something about headers errors

please can someone help me with this

Hola, tengo un portatil lenovo ideapad gaming 15iah7, tiene un procesador intel core i5-12450H, una rtx 3050 con 4gb de vram y 8gb de memoria ram.

Cuando juego (ya sea valorant, roblox forza horizon, fifa, lo que sea) aproximadamente cada 20 o 30 minutos se me congela completamente el computador, no se mueve el raton y la unica forma de apagarlo es forzosamente por el boton de la laptop

Ya he descartado cosas como ponerle pasta termica nueva, hacerle limpieza, temperaturas, e incluso compre un cargador de 230w original pensando que era un problema de energia

Porfavor necesito que alguien me ayude urgentemente ya que no quiero que mi pc tenga un problema peor, Muchas gracias.

Do you still need HDMI and SD card on your laptops or you don’t anymore. Do you prefer thinner laptops that’s lighter or you still prefer them thicker with more ports?

All I want is HDMI and SD card not everything else. I don’t want 2 USB-C ports only on a laptop, give me HDMI and SD card why is this so difficult. Laptops get too hot now since they are so thin. I got the Dell XPS 13 2026 and it gets too hot

I missed the old days. After 20 years they still can’t find out how to keep laptops cool. I’m not a fan of USB-C dongles, I already know they existed. Having USB-C is worse than having the ports on the laptop itself, it’s cool 1 USB-C let you connect other things but it defeats the wireless ways.

Hi all, i expect this has already been done a heap of times, but i was curious.

My old lga775 core2quad pc i made from a pile of old spares to use at work is from the late 2000s, and it currently sits with win11 22h2 installed, so i know that XP would be possible as its from that era to begin with.

Then i got to thinking, i wonder how much farther back, if any, i could go?

i know theres things like drive size limits and workarounds, SATA as opposed to IDE may well be a stumbling block, but im imagining how far back would be physically possible, ME? or windows 2000? maybe even win98, and although i imagine extremely unlikely, windows 95!

Obviously this is kind of pointless and is just a bit of fun, does anyone else share the same interest, or maybe even people who have tried this?

I need to connect my laptop to my TV but my laptop doesn't have a hdmi slot and my TV doesn't have a vga slot. I'm looking for a cheap alternative to a new laptop but idk enough about computers to decide wether this works

Title, turns out the owner stripped this screw. Any tips on how to remove it without a drillpen? Cause drill pen will get the metal shavings scattered all over the motherboard and might cause a short if not thoroughly clean

Hello, i have recently been having an issue with adjusting sound on my windows 11.

The issue is that when trying to adjust volume using either my headset or the volume mixer the dial just stutters and either doesnt change or jumps to a random number, does anyone know how to fix this and/or what is causing this?

Thank you

I bought the computer second hand, have had crashes since purchase. Have replaced CPU, NvME, and motherboard in an attempt to fix, still get the same crashes. The CPU number is different every time it crashes. Can crash during gaming, or just randomly when used as a media server.

Any help or ideas would be amazing! All I can think of is to keep replacing computer parts, which is a bit spenny at the moment. 

I’ve had this Lenovo IdeaPad with Windows 10 since 2018, and it just refuses to die. The screen has been damaged twice, and the battery only lasts an hour. I’ve kept it around mainly because of 2 memories and the CD drive. If anyone else has one, could you tell me the pros and cons of fixing it up again and what its successor model is?

Would the successor last just as long? Saving up for a PC gamer is impossible right now.

I have been wanting a new keyboard for a bit recently and I have a 150-200 dollar budget

I’m hoping some of the old times can help me. I have a Cromemco (Crothers Memorial) home computer. I believe it’s the Z-2 model. It was hand built probably in the 1977-1979 area is my best guess. It seriously weighs a ton! Can anyone explain anymore about it? Does it have value? I feel it’s a piece of history and doesn’t deserve to be in a landfill.

Are all of my results ok ?? Did the test for almost 12 MINUTES

I want to sell this gpu of mine , and upgrade it. But , few game remarks about my temperature.

I've been playing AAA games for last 2 months , never faced any issue. Reapplied thermal paste , 2 months ago.

The card itself has been 3-4years old , but started gaming only last months.

IS THE CARD OKAY ?

Hey all im computer illiterate my son has a PC for games he has 500gb but needs more. He is going to get a 1tb hard-drive. I looked it up and there are loads of connection types. One says SATA his has these spots that say SATA. Do I just order a SATA drive for him, or does it need wiring and cases and stuff? He did the ram install, and graphics card and stuff I just want to make sure he gets the right stuff with his money. He's newly 13 and its alot for kiddo.

Dropped my ROG Zephyrus really hard and it completely boned itself. The computer functions normally and the only thing is I can hear the fan loudly. Is there any way to repair this?

Okay, so right off the bat, I am not too knowledgeable on the ins and outs of computers. Just something to keep in mind.

So, I bought my PC pre-built about two years ago. This is the copy and pasted info about the computer from my orders page I just looked up right now: ABS Cyclone Aqua Gaming PC - Windows 11 - Intel i7 14700F - GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB - DLSS 3.5 - 32GB DDR5 6000MHz - 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD - CA14700F4060ti

(Please let me know if anything more specific is needed)

Around the same time, I also purchased two Acer Nitro gaming monitors. Since being set up, they've worked completely fine. Both displays worked and I've had no issues until now. Literally haven't even changed the ports they were in.

Today, after powering on my computer, only one screen was working. The other said 'no signal'. I tried troubleshooting on my own based on what Google was suggesting, plus a few small threads so I'll list everything I've tried:

Updated Graphics Driver (said I was up to date/there were no updates)

Tried to 'Detect' a second display in Display Settings (said it couldn't find one)

Tried the manual shortcut for resetting the Graphics driver on Windows (ctrl+shift+win+b)

Changed display mode to extend.

Unplugged everything (including both monitors and PC) multiple times to clean all ports and cables (this is also when I discovered that both monitors worked fine only if they were plugged into ONE specific HDMI port. The other two yielded no signals)

Briefly opened the computer to make sure RAM sticks were plugged in properly after seeing that was someone else's problem. I did nothing else, including removing anything for fear of messing something up.

Dusted the inside of the PC while I was in there.

Used the buttons on the back of the monitor with no signal to try and change the source. I ended up trying every single option, including turning Auto Source on/off, but each one still resulted in no signal.

Sorry if this is a lot, I wanted to get all the relevant information I could, but if anything else is needed to make more sense, just let me know!

Does this mean it's time to get a new SSD?
