What problems do you have with your computer?

Basically just a place to post some of the things wrong with your computer (bluescreens, excessive memory usage, broken hardware, etc)

Recently, my laptop that I've owned for a good amount of time (3 to 4 years), is finally dying. I get things like random black lines popping up on my screen (most likely a gpu issue), bluescreens (also probably a gpu issue), and stuff like this where around 70% of my memory is being used while sitting on my desktop with no apps whatsoever being open.

Now, I did accidentally install malware onto this computer while installing NoxPlayer (android game emulator). It wasn't some harmless virus either. It installed 2 files that windows defender both recognised as bad viruses. One was a high risk trojan, the other was a severe trojan. It FULLY turned off my windefender protection, installed some wierd ass extension on my google chrome, and it also made my laptop sound like a jumbo jet about to take off. Luckily, I ran a full scan before it was too late and i managed to remove every trace of it. About a month later, i discovered a folder on my computer named "runece". It had some wierd .exe file and a text document that had some wierd things written in it (like random Japanese letters that meant nothing when i translated them to English). Obviously I removed that, and now its fine. Or so I thought. Literally about 10 minutes ago I found a file running in the background called "MultiplayerManager". I searched it up on google and it came up as a file that was part of the same emulator I installed, NoxPlayer. Currently trying to remove this virus.

Update: Managed to get rid of it. Turns out it actually left 2 files behind. Both of them said they were a registry key. I circled the 2 files that were part of it.

I'll give an update sometime soon, let yall know if that fixed it.

 

my old prebuilt (now modified) pc of almost 10 years finally gave in. Motherboard/cpu issue.
MB had issues such as the IO ports sometimes not reading USBs etc. always checked for debris.
CPU never had an issue. only time I had a issue was from deleting over a few 100k items and cancelling and repeating to the point windows just froze and became slow for a while. took a few days to recover from that slowness.
Bought new parts like a 7600 and a asus tuf mobo and 32gb ram kit along with a new case as the current case was corroded

 

the more i see people with pcs like yours, the more i feel like mine is outdated. i really got screwed over with the ram on this. they really paired a 3060 with 8 gigs of ram on this laptop i have.
also, you're rocking a 13600kf. thats a verty good cpu. but i mean, really every cpu that fits lga 1700 sockets is very powerful.

 

made the eas-, i mean tough decision to switch back to windows 10.
damn i missed this taskbar

 

you have one more slot free, you could put in another stick there.

 

My pc gpu temps were a little hot despite having 2 120mm intake fans on the front and 3 120 mm fans exhaust(2 top 1 back) Theissue was my dust sheild on the front of my case doesnt flow air well creating negative cas pressure and theres al ot of crap blocking the air flow to the gpu also inherrent to the bad case design. My solution was sacrificing my front fans RGB(the rgb plugs were to short) and plugging them into my water cooling plugs on my mobo which essentially over clocked my front intake fans doubling the rpm and lowering my GPU temps lol. Problem with that solution is my intake fans are moving a serious amount of air now and my dust filter gets plugged in like a week. When my computers all clean my gpu temps are like 73C Max during haven benchmark test where before they were like 80-82.

 

My 4GB of VRAM is being rapidly left behind by the gaming landscape. What happened to the days when an Xbox 360 with 512 MB of VRAM was enough to do a whole crap load of a lot. Granted console games are more optimized for consoles, but in theory, you could play the same game with about 1 GB of VRAM. But nowadays you need at least 8GB to run about all of the AAA games, unless you want 40- fps on low settings. What happened to optimizing the graphics of modern games? Also, if you look back to the Xbox 360-era games vs modern games, there are no huge leaps and bounds in fidelity like in the 90s-2000s, only 4k support. But for those of us who don't need or want 4k, it looks the same. How come they can't optimize for lower-end PCs anymore? Why do you need to process every spark, drop of water, and leaf individually? I know there are limitations for 4 GB of VRAM, but holy crap the Xbox 360 had less than 1 GB!!! I know I'm salty because I can't afford anything better, but that still doesn't justify them making hugely unoptimized games for PC. Heck, I can't even get a decent framerate with the T-series and a trailer. Before I could do that just fine. In the push for "graphical fidelity," they leave behind anyone with a skinny wallet. It just gets old not being able to play games that look slightly better than their predecessors, but needing twice the VRAM for a half-decent experience.

Spoiler: Xbox 360 VS PC

Even the PS4 with approx 2GB of VRAM, still runs modern games at 75+ FPS. Granted with lower settings.

Spoiler: PS4 Performance

 

My pc runs fine but I sometimes get the most random lag spikes, also my wheel's zero output was off center until yesterday, when I somehow fixed it.

 

my mouse dont work idk
