X220 Tablet doesn't turn on Posted: 02 Apr 2020 12:01 PM PDT Hello, I recently acquired a thinkpad x220 tablet which has a fan error and after I (hopefully) repaired it, the computer won't turn on. I've dried a discharge, using different batteries, using different chargers, using another keyboard I have, and disconnecting the CMOS battery. Any help big or small would be much appreciated. submitted by /u/saynotome [link] [comments]

CPU hitting high temps, Posted: 02 Apr 2020 02:08 AM PDT All temps are in Cel, Playing games such as Cs: go (90), Wow Classic(80), Call of duty MW (100), Apex (90), Gears 5 (90). Just wondering if replacing my CPU will fix this or is it something else? ​ CPU- I7 8700k, the thermal paste was just reapplied, the CPU is about year-old now., submitted by /u/FaceFullOfMace [link] [comments]

Laptop died after usb scanner connection Posted: 02 Apr 2020 09:01 AM PDT Acer R5 571tg. Laptop was on when I plugged my old scanner USB cord. Since the scanner doesn't have on/off switch, I plugged the power cord (standard DC jack sorta like on every other router or smth) after the USB. The moment I did that, both built-in screen and HDMI monitor went off, fans stopped, but the "power on" led was still glowing. I disconnected all the peripherals and power supply, turned it off by pressing reset button and tried to turn it on again. Just like a minute before, the power led turned on but everything else was dead. I sniffed the USB port and it smelled like something burned. I took the laptop apart and there's a small brown spot on the edge of the crystal, the one right next to cpu crystal. Also, there are several spots on the motherboard which look like drops of molten metal with tiny cracks around them. From what I understand, the south bridge is busted, but I'm more of a software guy and I don't have a multimeter to test power lines. Is it completely busted? Also, any thoughts on why did that happen? Scanner still works (I didn't connect it to another computer though) and USB cord was good since I took it from my printer. submitted by /u/BorrowedMyGun [link] [comments]

Very strange boot (Lubuntu 18.04) - post copied from r/linux4noobs Posted: 01 Apr 2020 11:23 PM PDT Hello! I think i should have written this post earlier, but I decided to do it on my own. And I hope it wasn't a mistake. First of all, I simply tried to turn on my computer, but Lubuntu didn't boot. I didn't know what was happening, but I suspected HDD, for sure. I went into the recovery mode, where I resumed the OS, and it worked. I checked the badsectors with badblocks and... there was 0 of them. But Lubuntu still didn't boot normally, and I got errors while trying any option in recovery mode. That's where I should have asked, but I decided to reinstall Lubuntu, because I backuped my files earlier, so I had "nothing to lose". I don't have screenshot right now, but in the step of installing the components of OS, I had an error "Unable to install", nothing else specifically. However, when I put out the CD and booted normally, it... worked. I tried booting 6 or 7 times earlier and nothing helped (yeah, I know, I should have asked first). It booted, but now the computer does not work as earlier. First of all, it boots quite long, because over a minute, where before this accident it was something about 30 secs. Second, I have this error every time I load the desktop. https://preview.redd.it/f39rbnrjlcq41.png?width=466&format=png&auto=webp&s=50b5174ab690d12886e1fbb303a3eb93873fb7f2 (In english it means "System program problem detected Do you want to report the problem now? Cancel/report") The third, I feel that now the computer goes slower than earlier. Maybe not much slower, but still. I don't fully trust badblocks, because it looks like an HDD problem, but I didn't manage to install any of repair programmes, and gnome-disk-utility required unmounting, which I couldn't do. Is there any possibility that some applications are the reason for this? I don't have any backup of the system, but I also cannot install it again. What should I do? submitted by /u/enyz [link] [comments]

EXP Soundboard_5 refuses to open Posted: 01 Apr 2020 09:36 PM PDT When i double click on the exe file, i get a split second of loading and nothing. The program was working just yesterday, i don't understand what would be affecting it. submitted by /u/Hunter_Slime [link] [comments]

desktop locks on windows 10 Posted: 01 Apr 2020 06:58 PM PDT This has happened multiple times and I can not figure out why this is happening. I have a ryzen 7 s700x with 16 GB ram running windows 10. Normally I have windows edge chromium open with 10 pinned tabs and 4 or 5 open tabs. Discord running in the background and sometimes playing a video game. I am able to do all of this without any problems except when I stop playing a game and go back to my normal screen. When I go back to my normal 2 screen setup I am able to interact with any open window but I am not able to close them to get back to the desktop. If I hit the windows key it does not work. I am able to do anything with the open windows except collapse them. I am able to hit ctrl alt delete and close windows. I just can't figure out what is happening or how to fix it. submitted by /u/chonduu [link] [comments]

Real world case benchmark? Where to find Posted: 01 Apr 2020 04:32 PM PDT Hi there I am wanting to learn more about benchmarking my pc so that I can try applying some overclocks and see the effects of temperature, different drivers and settings on it. I would like to see what the difference makes to my performance when I apply XMP to ram or increase core clock on GPU or so on so forth. However i am aware that there are alot of what people call synthetics or benchmark tests. Usually people like gamersnexus say something like "this is not indicative of real world cases" or something. So a CPU might get very good on something like passmark but then run slower in games or video editing or something. And maybe same with GPU. So what i am wondering is should i avoid things that are synthetic like say geekbench? Or is there benchmarks that have real world use cases built in so that i can get an idea of different performance in different use cases? It would be nice to test say, if i am doing 3d rendering to go and do some 3d rendering but at this stage i am not sure what i would like to do in the future or what my use cases may be. I would just like to see what doing certain tweaks improves without downloading every program. I also notice if i go looking for benchmark programs some of them are very old and people dont use anymore. Like userbenchmark or prime95 or furmark. Often people say use newer tests. But the tests seem to change alot for say hardware reviewers. How can I stay up to date with the current and best benchmark tests? Thank you submitted by /u/bluereddeer [link] [comments]
