I just purchased a Lenovo laptop. Hopefully I'll have more luck with that one. Will be the last time I ever purchase an ASUS product...

The drivers of the gpu are up to date with nvidia geforce. I replaced the battery and cmos battery twice with brand new batteries. I really dont think its the battery... even with the battery unplugged, and the charger plugged in.. it will turn on, but same problem, turns off after about 30 mins. So i really dont think its the battery....

Huh? Its not the solution..

I did a fresh install of windows and all drivers are up to date. The display works fine, its not the display. The replacement battery is the exact same genuine asus battery that is meant to go in the laptop. Even with the ssd removed and letting it go to bios, the laptop still turned off after about 20 mins, so i dont think its the ssd

Removed

I will do my best to explain exactly what's happened. I would really appreciate any suggestions. I live on a small island in Thailand which makes contacting ASUS customer service and shipping the laptop to them for diagnosis a pain in the butt. It's an ASUS FX505DT laptop that is just over 1 year old. It has a R7 3750h, GTX 1650, 528gb nvme ssd. It came with 8gb of ram and I added another 8gb immediately after purchasing it. For the first 6 months it worked great without any problems. Until one night I fell asleep watching Netflix and the battery drained itself. The next morning I went to plug it in and play some video games, but it wouldn't boot. It would turn on for a second or two but then immediately turn back off. I decided to leave it plugged in for a day or two. When I returned after a day or two and tried again, it started working normally again, and would boot up just fine. For the next few months it worked great again, no problems. Until one night I did the same, fell alseep watching Netflix and drained the battery. The next morning, same thing, it wouldn't boot. Just turn on for a second and turn right back off. I left it plugged in for a day or two and tried again. This time it would boot, and I could even play video games for a few hours - but then it would randomly turn off. Sometimes it would only stay on for a few minutes, sometimes for multiple hours. My initial thought was maybe its overheating, so I ran HWMonitor while gaming but saw zero signs of overheating. I decided to replace the battery and CMOS battery. This seemed to work, and I was very happy. The computer worked great again. But only a few weeks later the problem returned. This time, I hadn't let the battery drain while watching Netflix. It would turn off seemingly randomly. Sometimes I could play video games all day and it worked fine, other days it wouldn't boot at all. Yesterday I replaced the battery and CMOS battery once more, and did a fresh install of Windows, but that didn't solve anything. I played video games for around 6 hours without any issues, but then it randomly turned off and won't turn back on. I also tried removing the ssd and let it sit in bios, it turned off after about 20 mins so i dont think its the ssd. I also removed the battery and let it run just from the charger, same thing, turned off after about 20 mins. I'm really not in the position to be throwing a bunch of money at potential fixes. I would really appreciate any suggestions.

My new Samsung A52 doesn't show the day of the week on the homescreen. Seems odd to have to open the weather or calendar app just to see the day. I can't seem to find a solution on Google or in the settings. Can anyone please help?

Thank you

I'm getting a laptop to use for gaming. I mostly play Rust. Option A: i5 10300h and GTX 1650ti Option B: Ryzen 5 4600h and GTX 1650 Which setup would you recommend for gaming?

I live on a small island so getting things shipped is a pain in the ass, so preferably would get it all in one purchase

I've searched on Google and YouTube. The information was mixed on what ram speed is used..... Some seem to be 2400, some 2666, etc....

Hello I'm planning on purchasing this laptop but want to upgrade it to 16gb ram (2x 8gb). Can anyone please confirm that this ram is compatible with this laptop? Exact products are in the pictures. Thank you!

Thank you Linus for doing a R7 2700 to i7 8700 comparison. This comparison is completely original and has never been done before. What would we do without this much needed information? And why were a i5 and R5 shown on the thumbnail but not tested?

Anyone have any other suggestions I should take a look at? I want something very small and sturdy so preferably metal rather than plastic. Putting either a 9700k or 9900k in it so would like it to fit an AIO.

I think I fried either my Z270 motherboard or my 7700k I guess I might as well get a 8700k as I don’t think it’s worth waiting a month or two for the 9700k. Any suggestions on a Z370 motherboard that’s known for good overclocking? Budget around $200 USD or less. Thank you.

Could use some troubleshooting advice.. spilled only a few drops of coffee on my PC case (seriously, such a small amount of liquid touched it). It landed on the power button and some may have gotten in the case’s USB ports (S340 Elite). The PC immediately froze, and upon reboot it just power cycles and won’t boot up. I tried disconnecting the front USB ports and power button, but it still power cycles. Any suggestions?

I paid $360 for my 1070 when it came out. I can’t justify the $600 they want for a 2070. If it were around $400 I’d buy it.

I’m getting into casual streaming and am looking to upgrade my current setup. My budget is roughly $300 USD. I can’t decide if I should get a mic such as a blue yeti and a mixing board, or just a quality headset like a sennheiser gsp 500. I’d prefer to just have a headset to keep it simple, but is it a justifiable difference in mic quality to get a mic + mixer instead?

I’m getting into casual streaming and would like to upgrade to a headset with a better microphone than my current Corsair Void. Preferably wireless. Budget is around $200-$300. Thanks.

Can anyone help me out with an entry level music production build? Budget of $600 USD.

If you’re willing to pay €350 for a 1060 you may as well Wait for a 1070 to get back in stock for msrp.

A used gtx 1050 ti is selling for $150. Why sell it for the same price you bought it for? Even if you can get $200, is it worth $50 profit to you? Especially if you just plan to get a 400 series later?
