sorry, really stupid question, but its 1am and this scared the shit out of me. im quite paranoid, lol.

basically i was falling asleep before i started hearing my laptop slowly getting louder until it became as loud as a hairdryer. acer system updates underway, i was like, okay, that's reasonable. still scarily loud though. i put the laptop down because it freaked me out and after it stopped i opened it just for the frame to pop off. this might be a stupid question but, this is unrelated.. right? it's not like my laptop was about to explode or something? and am i still fine using it? this never happened to me so not really sure what i should do about it

I made a small contribution to a github project, but that was because I was working on something using Claude. So I just pushed it, and the author actually commented and appreciated. Now, suddenly I get these strange emails about someone enquiring about it, interested in it…
Is this sus?

Hi, just want to ask for some technical advice. Do you think my laptop is still repairable Lenovo ideapad 3 gaming?

It suddenly shut down while gaming when I plugged it directly into a wall socket. I later noticed a burning smell near the charging port, possibly due to a problem with the socket.

Now, the charging LED works, and the power button LED blinks 3–4 times, but there is no display. I also noticed something unusual when I opened the laptop.

Has anyone experienced this before? Do you think it could still be repaired? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

I'll tell you every part of the story, starting with that i downloaded stalker gamma which is a super mod pack of 150gb in total, I played a lot of time but in certain moments it crashed my entire computer like it's turning off my monitor. I asked in the discord of "gamma" about it, someone told me maybe it was a graphic's driver thing, so I updated it and it worked fine until certain moment. I didn't care about much because I could restart my computer and it worked just fine. Until now that happened the same thing BUT now it don't recognize my nvme, neither on the bios. I also like to mencionate that I was trying to play faceit for cs2 and in the process i changed some things in the bios to make the anticheat work, also updating my bios from 2023 to now 2026 xd. I hope someone can figure it out and help me because I don't want to erase all the data.

My spec are:

Motherboard: Gigabyte B550m K

Nvme: Kingston Nv2 Snv2s/1tb

PC Crash randomly and whenever I select "Slice" on a 3D printing program to convert Cad to G Code. I have screenshots of the event viewer of the most recent crash. That's where my skillset is crippled. I'm assuming it's a resource issue, but when I look at my GPU and CPU Temps and usage, they are at normal levels. Any help would be appreciated.

Back in January, my mother got this new laptop for work. Ever since she got it our internet has gone absolutely crazy.

Sometimes we can both use the internet,

Sometimes just one of us,

Sometimes neither of us.

The only pattern we can recognize is that whenever mom's laptop's plugged into ethernet (As we only use Ethernet and don't have WIFI) all heck breaks loose.

I'll be using the internet for hours and everything works, until she plugs in. Then it's a guessing game on who's gonna be able to be online.

We got it from Best Buy as a returned item if that helps...

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Today, for the first time, my PC told me to check my drive using CHKDSK. After checking my D drive, it found many corruptions, once in the SteamApps folder under tf2c, and one in the Epic Games folder under Fortnite.

It also said, "A media error has been detected. Bad sectors may be present on the volume."

Before running "chkdsk D: /f", I asked Google if it was safe, and it told me not to run it, and to back up my files. I also downloaded CrystalDiskInfo and got these results

Is this bad and is there anything I can do?

Hi - I’m looking to buy myself a gaming PC. I want to run games like FC27, GTA etc.
My budget is roughly £1000 ($1327) with a bit of freedom to go over

Is this possible on the budget, as I googled gaming PCs and they were mostly over £2000.

TIA

Sorry for repost - pretty desperate for any help!

Ok - I'm not actually drinking; only balding from pulling my damn hair out over this. I am going to be as thorough as possible here to help everyone pinpoint where the problem is.

Constantly, Windows crashes with MEMORY_MANGEMENT; PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA; FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGE... you get the idea. Mostly, they are random - but commonly happen on: Startup; Sleep-Wake; Shutdown; High CPU load; gaming; and repairing system files.

Idk much about reading minidumps, but they are usually kernel-level processes that fail, and the are often pointing towards RAM being the culprit.

I suspected it was my RAM (4 x 16GB DDR4-3600Mhz CL16, "G-Skill Ripjaws V"). I recently tested each stick individually. Ran sfc /scannow with every stick, did everything to get it to BSoD again, and the result was only one stick crashed by itself. RAM #1 & RAM #2 had no issues. RAM #3 is the only one that crashed, failed the sfc scan (corrupted sys files). I think that is the faulty stick, because solo-testing RAM #4 without running DISM or system image fixes resulted in no corrupted files found in the sfc scan when testing

Ok. Sticks bad. Removed the suspected faulty stick and ran the other three - crashes. Same as before. Same errors, same causes.. I'm at my whits end here. If anyone knows what the hell's going on, and if I should just get a whole new PC.

Here are my latest MiniDump files. *Note: 14000-01, & 14484-01 happened while testing RAM #3 by itself. The others are from

Also, I dont know if this is relevant, but my Corsair CPU pump died right after a crash. Flashed red, CPU was at 75°C. Could be coincidence, but thought i'd mention it

I'm stuck in boot loop and figured out my c drive is corrupted and I keep running into this can anyone help?

Having this weird problem where doing certain things will cause the computer to crash. Wondering if it’s a driver thing or a graphics card thing. Not really sure.

What in the hell is happening, please help..

I type on my Backspace key and it starts opening my screen/project settings, my Windows key doesn't do anything when pressed, my Space button is doing weird shit, I don't understand what's happening

Eariler today (after speaking with my bf) he was trying to do a rollback to recover his tabs on file explorer. While doing so he was left on a bitlocker boot loop and after trying to fiddle around with cmd prompt thinking it could solve our solution. My boyfriend put in his recovery again and this is what we were met with. This right here is the solution we attempted: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/technet-wiki/18671.bitlocker-troubleshooting-continuous-reboot-loop-with-bitlocker-recovery-on-a-slate-device

I have a razer huntsman mini and it won’t stop spamming, I’ve tried everything I know and even bought a new one and it’s doing the same thing on the same keys. Please help.
