Hello, My name is Thomas and I am moderately novice when it comes to PC's. I have a decent knowledge on the different parts of the PC and what they do so my issue is not understanding the build. I need help deciding from hopefully the more experienced. As of right now I'm rocking a GTX 1650 and an Intel i5 - 10400f cpu @…

Bought a laptop, installed MS office for students, it turned out the LCD backlight was flaky. Not a problem. I took it back within five days. Until I actually asked the guy at the returns desk at Microcenter if this would be a problem and he said no. I got home, tried to get back to work and Microsoft says the product key…

I opened up my ASUS laptop to insert a single stick of RAM in, and in the process I believe I accidentally damaged my headphone jack as it no longer streams audio. Aside from inserting the RAM, I did not otherwise modify the laptop. I know this more than likely voided my manufacturer's warranty, but I also purchased…
I am a new owner of an ASUS ZenBook Pro 17 17.3" laptop and am incredibly satisfied. It offers a large screen and a backlit keyboard for easy visibility, especially for a person suffering from visual impairments. However, it would be more visually advantageous for ASUS to manufacture the screen using an anti-glare coating…
Hi there! this is a first for me so apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge. I'm looking to purchase an entry level gaming PC, really just to run basic stuff on MMOs (WOW, SWTOR, etc.), emulators and other things like that, nothing too intense. Would ideally like to upgrade it with parts if possible and if I fall…
I've recently been on my laptop and noticed that my CPU is idling at 95c. I opened it up to clean the fans but the temps are the same after closing it. I've also noticed that my TPM now doesn't work. Does anyone know what to do? Thanks!
I attempted to add an additional hard drive to my 1510, but when I went into the bios all options are grayed out and it doesn't see the additional drive. I am assuming that there is an admin password on the bios, but can't find any information about a default one, or a way to reset the password. Can anyone help me with…
Purchased in Dec 2021 and running out of hard drive space. Has a 1TB Samsung SSD mzvlb1t0hbl. Looking to fill 2nd slot with a 2TB SSD (I hate having to worry about space...) Questions: 1) What would people recommend for a 2TB drive to add? 2) If the 2nd SSD is faster (may not need to be) then would it make sense to shift…
Out of the box the fans appear to be running at full speed. What is the best way to control the fan speed on the PowerSpec G439?

My ex-son in law left a desktop computer w/o the hard drive. I believe it is a HP but other than knowing it's a newer gaming computer I know nothing about it. I would like to know if it's worth putting a hard drive (ssd) into it before spending $$ on it. How do I find the processor model, mother board model, etc. The…

What is the weight describing? Why is the shipping weight double that if the weight is just the pc itself? I put the product's name, which can be found in microcenter, after the comma because I still can't post links yet.
Greetings, We have recently become aware of an issue with this model. There is a conflict between the audio driver on the system and Windows Update that began rolling out recently. This will potentially cause the system to BSOD during the update, or on startup after installing the update. We have posted a new audio driver…
Hey all, I need a case fan (front bottom) replaced. It's vibrating and extremely loud under idle which from browsing the forums, looks like a common problem. I took apart the case but couldn't find a model number on the fan - only the Lian Li brand. All other fans are normal. I know this because I can replicate the sound…
Big ThinkPad fan here, wanted to share my recent personal experience with these two models: if you're on the fence on which ThinkPad is better for you.
