Hey all, I have a problem with my laptop, it's a Toshiba l50-b-19q. When I press the power button it turns on but the screen stays black, when I use the HDMI output it says no signal. The HDD does spin up and the fan seems to work like normal. When I press the num lock or caps lock key the LEDs for the respective key does not light up. I assume that the problem is a dead GPU but I'm not sure, I have confirmed that the HDD functions, do you guys have any idea what the problem may be? Sincerely, D148xZ

When browsing my temps are around 50c, with gta V it goes up to 60-70c.

I bought an HP Omen 15 dc0051nr a couple of months ago, it was a bit loud during regular use so I decided to download Intel Xtu and reduce the voltage by 0.160 v. After this the temps went down drastically but the sound from the fans at idle were still quite annoying, I decided to go into the bios and turn off: fan always on. This setting allowes the fan to shut off completely if the cpu or gpu is under 50c. Now my question: Is 45-50c a healthy idle temperature for an i7-8750h + gtx 1060? Thank you for your time.

Thanks!

have you looked at aliexpress.com?

I believe this is the smart data, does it all check out? 500gb HDD *** DiskCheckup V3.4 Build: 1003 Report *** SysInfo DLL Version: SysInfo v1.0 Build: 1122 Time of export: 16:56:39 02-feb-2018 Device information: Device ID: 0 Interface: SATA Device Capacity: 476937 MB Serial Number: S2AKNMSF Model Number: ST500DM002-1BD142 SMART ATTRIBUTES: ID Description Status Value Worst Threshold Raw Value TEC --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 Raw Read Error Rate OK 111 99 6 5448 N/A 3 Spin Up Time OK 100 97 0 0 N/A 4 Start/Stop Count OK 99 99 20 1861 N/A 5 Reallocated Sector Count OK 100 100 36 0 N/A 7 Seek Error Rate OK 85 66 30 398526773 N/A 9 Power On Time OK 64 64 0 31579 N/A 10 Spin Retry Count OK 100 100 97 0 N/A 12 Power Cycle Count OK 100 100 20 27 N/A 183 SATA Downshift Error Count OK 100 100 0 0 N/A 184 End-to-End error OK 100 100 99 0 N/A 187 Reported Uncorrectable Errors OK 100 100 0 0 N/A 188 Command Timeout OK 100 98 0 1339 N/A 189 High Fly Writes OK 100 100 0 0 N/A 190 Temperature Difference from 100 OK 80 42 45 7954615828500 N/A 194 Temperature OK 20 58 0 20 C N/A 195 Hardware ECC Recovered OK 42 29 0 5448 N/A 197 Current Pending Sector Count OK 100 100 0 0 N/A 198 Uncorrectable Sector Count OK 100 100 0 0 N/A 199 UltraDMA CRC Error Count OK 200 200 0 0 N/A 240 Head flying hours OK 100 253 0 227654741526628 N/A 241 Total LBAs Written OK 100 253 0 2017593533 N/A 242 Total LBAs Read OK 100 253 0 3489302545 N/A 320gb HDD *** DiskCheckup V3.4 Build: 1003 Report *** SysInfo DLL Version: SysInfo v1.0 Build: 1122 Time of export: 16:56:48 02-feb-2018 Device information: Device ID: 3 Interface: SATA Device Capacity: 305242 MB Serial Number: 9QFADXP0 Model Number: ST3320620AS SMART ATTRIBUTES: ID Description Status Value Worst Threshold Raw Value TEC --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 Raw Read Error Rate OK 100 253 6 0 N/A 3 Spin Up Time OK 95 95 0 0 N/A 4 Start/Stop Count OK 94 94 20 6850 N/A 5 Reallocated Sector Count OK 100 100 36 0 N/A 7 Seek Error Rate OK 84 60 30 254171939 N/A 9 Power On Time OK 96 96 0 3682 N/A 10 Spin Retry Count OK 100 100 97 0 N/A 12 Power Cycle Count OK 99 99 20 1831 N/A 187 Reported Uncorrectable Errors OK 100 100 0 0 N/A 189 High Fly Writes OK 100 100 0 0 N/A 190 Temperature Difference from 100 OK 77 52 45 386793495 N/A 194 Temperature OK 23 48 0 23 C N/A 195 Hardware ECC Recovered OK 65 54 0 103317686 N/A 197 Current Pending Sector Count OK 100 100 0 0 N/A 198 Uncorrectable Sector Count OK 100 100 0 0 N/A 199 UltraDMA CRC Error Count OK 200 200 0 0 N/A 200 Write Error Count OK 100 253 0 0 N/A 202 Data Address Mark Errors OK 100 253 0 0 N/A

I have to choose between tow hdd's to fill up my last sata slot. Choice 1: A 500gb Baracuda 7200RPM hdd which has been in a Cisco 8485DVB television record box for 4 years, hasn't moved and hasn't overheated. It has been on for 31576 hours and was powered up 26 times, built in 2014. Choice 2: A 320gb Baracuda 7200RPM hdd which has been in a PC, hasn't overheated. It has been on for 3679 hours and was powered up 1830 times, built in 2008 Which hdd should I choose and why? (I already have both)

What kind of internal graphics do you have

Bought it used for €27 a few months ago, was quite a gamble, original seller thought it was broken. It performs a lot better than the gtx750 ti , comparable to a rx 460 and is comparable to a r7 370 or when overclocked, it's a relatively unknown and unpopular card so on my local used site there are almost no listings.

So I have a AMD r7 265, it has served me well but recently I came across another one of these cards for €40,- is crossfire worth it in this instance or should I just buy a newer better gpu. Cpu is an i5 4460. I have a 550w psu so power draw is no issue.

An intel nuc would also be kind of a cool option, they're newer, cheaper, smaller and performs better in almost every way.

If you're not doing anything but typing and watching video it'll do just fine.

For that kind of money you can buy one heck of a pc. You pay for the looks so why not get a nice monitor and buy like a cheap core 2 duo laptop mac and connect that to it, you can watch video's on that too and it's portable.
