  1. I bought a brand new Sony TV Model: 55X80K / X80K 2022 series. My problem is that it shows garbage display when using my desktop PC, (R7 5800X, RTX3070, Win10), it displays on the TV fine when I'm on my desktop bios and when I try my Windows 11 laptop. It would be a hassle to reinstall Windows on my main PC just because of that. Any other fix that I can try?
  2. Not really blows away but the difference of their GPU is really significant. I'm trying to watch reviews/testing of the models to have an idea of how they'll feel when being used.
  3. Hi, I just bought the Lenovo Slim 7 Pro X 2 weeks ago and hasn't opened it yet & can return anytime. But I noticed that Zephyrus G14 is on sale. It's $100 more expensive than the Lenovo one though. Here are the breakdown of specs The RTX 3050 should be enough for me but of course a more powerful GPU is more than welcome! What I am most interested with is how they feel if I use them, the ease/convenience of using them & how hot they feel when holding. I'll go to whichever model will give the least headache I guess. The things I like about Lenovo is the professional looks, round edges. The things I like about the Zephyrus is the unique appeal and the better GPU.
  4. Both has a dedicated RTX 3050. And for laptops, they really vary in performance depending on the laptop design, power & cooling.
  5. Looks, clearly Alienware is the favorite. Display, Hands down for Lenovo. CPU, Alienware has a slight edge. Battery, Hands down for Lenovo again due to the Intel Alder Lake issue. Ports, Hands down Alienware though I'm not sure how useful Thunderbolt 4 is? Memory & SSD: Lenovo For the GPU, we'll have to consider how well the laptop is designed. Based on the video reviews I've seen, Alienware did a great job with their design. But I couldn't find any informative info about Lenovo's performance. Any thoughts that could help me decide which laptop to buy?
  6. Is there an available Thin & Light Ryzen 6000 series Laptop in the market that doesn't have a high-end dedicated GPU? I'm looking to buy a laptop that I can use when I am working away from home. I would play some casual games but it really wouldn't require much graphics power. Edit: My budget would be around 1k USD. I can go a little higher if it's worth the extra cost.
  7. I am aware that it wont protect me against malware that doesn't use internet, that's fine. But for the one you mentioned that the malware using another program to use the internet, that program will have to be prompted too before it can access the internet right?
  8. Is it a good idea to purchase Netlimiter as a security against malware? My free trial is almost finished and I am using it as a prompt to either allow or deny any app that tries to access the internet. So I was thinking that if my PC is to be infected by a malware, before it can send out any data or request into its server, it'll be detected by Netlimiter and will prompt me to either allow or deny the connection.
  9. Hi, I'm playing World of Dragon Nest windowed to 1600x900. I want to be able to play with max or high settings at stable 50-60fps. Is that possible? My specs: i7-8700, 16GB DDR4-3000MHz, RX 5700 XT 8GB I am trying Bluestacks and Nox Emulator. I've read that it's better to have a 2nd dedicated GPU. I have a spare GT 1030 2GB that I'm letting someone borrowed for the meantime. Will using that make significant difference? What should I do to be able to play at stable 50-60fps? Thanks a lot.
  10. Hi, I hope someone can help me troubleshoot the issue. My PC freezes for about 3-10 seconds randomly. Sometimes when I'm watching youtube, or watching some local videos, or launching a game. (I haven't tried playing a full game yet). Here's a video I took when I try to launch Euro Truck Simulator: https://drive.google.com/file/d/123890L_Dev_KhMMekF4roXUV9K0En04V/view My specs: i7-8700, Asrock Z390 Steel Legend, RX 5700 XT Nitro+, Seasonic Focus+ Gold 750W I recently changed hardware from: i7-8700, Asrock Z370M Pro4, GTX 1070 EXOC-SNPR, Seasonic Focus+ Gold 750W I dont know if this has any relation to what's happening but my old hardware had problems with the GPU and Motherboard which is why I changed them. Here's the thread for the issue of the old hardware: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1126446-i7-8700-pc-wont-work-without-dedicated-gpu/ I also have a Seasonic SS-520FL 80+ Platinum 520W PSU and I did use this and the Focus+ alternately to see if it's the PSU causing the issue but it's not. I also checked the PCI Express Link State Power Management under Advanced Power Setting to make sure it's set to OFF. Then set the power setting to "High Performance" Please help me troubleshoot the issue.
  11. Is getting the RX 5700 XT Sapphire Nitro+ worth getting over Gigabyte OC for $32 additional price? I can say I cant go wrong with any but I just wanna know if the additional cost is worth it.
  12. I forgot to mention that I checked that on the BIOS after it booted just to make sure, also I did reset the BIOS when troubleshooting.
  13. Hi, my PC has been okay for almost a year and one day it just gives me no signal / black screen on the monitor. i7-8700, Asrock Z370M Pro-4, GTX 1070, Seasonic Focus+ Gold 750W, 16GB DDR4 Did the troubleshooting, removed all components except the motherboard, processor, and RAM. Same issue. Cleared CMOS / BIOS, same issue. Tried to reseat the RAM, tried 1 RAM, tried the 2nd RAM alone, same issue. Tried another PSU (Seasonic Platinum) from a different PC, still same issue Now I'm just left with the RAM, Motherboard and processor to test right? With that probably it's the RAM or Motherboard. I did test the RAM on a different PC and it works fine, so it should probably the motherboard that's faulty. Now I need a PC ASAP since I have work to do so I took one PC from my icafe, specs: i5-4670, Gigabyte H81M, GT 1030, 8GB DDR3 I removed the PSU and GPU and replaced it with my Seasonic and GTX 1070 respectively. And it doesnt work, with the same issue. Now my board doesnt have HDMI so I cant run the iGPU of this i5-4670 PC so I plugged in the GT 1030, to my surprise it worked. Now I have this crazy idea of trying the 1030 to my i7-8700 PC. And it also worked! I am puzzled, maybe it's my GPU that's broken, but why wont my i7-8700 PC work with the iGPU? Is it because the Motherboard it also faulty? So both my GPU and Motherboard got problems? How and why did it happen? Both of them are plugged in to an APC UPS with voltage regulator & surge protector. EDIT: I forgot to mention that I checked BIOS if there's something affecting the iGPU to not boot, none. Also I did reset the BIOS on the troubleshooting steps.
