Then, when I shut it down again and turn it on again, there is signal. How can I fix it so that I don't have to boot my…

What would be causing applications to crash?
I've recently purchased a custom PC and have been battling a bunch of various issues so far (network drivers not installed upon arrival, fan software not installed so CPU was getting quite toasty, etc).

Best Laptop for a Dietetics & Nutrition Major?
Hi everybody, I'm going into college very soon and I know I'll need a laptop that is long-lasting (4-6 years) and will mainly be used to take notes, run Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. I've been leaning towards a 2-in-1 laptop such as the Microsoft surface pro 9 as I think it would be nice for certain diagrams and…

While I do know that a clean install is usually the safest method, and that Dell has a way to reinstall the…

Legion Go Preorder
I want to preorder the Legion Go, and I see that MicroCenter has additional SKUs for the store-upgraded versions, but you can only preorder the 512G base model. Does this mean I’ll have the option to upgrade when I pick it up and then have them do the upgrade? If so, what would the wait time be?

Any new Windows laptops available/compatible with S3 Sleep Mode?
Linus Tech Tips seems to indicate that most Windows laptops now have S0 ("Windows Modern Standby", always on) Sleep Mode as the default and can't change to S3, so laptop sleep will likely run the battery to 0% and leave it feeling hot in your backpack (processor and network connections still running in S0 Sleep).

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…
