The installer set it up this way. I dont know why it gave me 4 partitions by default or why only one of them is working. I'm thinking it might be some weirdness due to me switching over from windows? idk.

also this partition manager appears to be for windows only

didnt seem to work

I will try this out, thank you

Just converted my Win10 laptop to Kubuntu linux, this is my first time using it. I'm having some trouble trying to format and allocate my internal HDD. As you can see in the picture, the drive and its partitions are recognized in partition manager, but i only have 30GB of available internal storage when it should be in the hundreds. No clue how to fix this, any newbie-friendly explanation would be awesome, thanks.

So recently I have had issues with my PC randomly freezing. This only started happening since about a few months ago, and never before that. 99% of the time it will happen while I'm away from my PC for an extended period of time, but rarely it will happen while I'm using it too. It's also not a full on freeze of the system. I can still move my mouse around and type using the keyboard, but every program, including basic windows stuff like file manager is unresponsive upon opening, and the only solution is to fully shut my PC off and turn it back on. I have absolutely no idea what could be causing this and it's driving me nuts. Any and all help is appreciated.

So recently I have been encountering an issue where if i leave my pc on for extended periods while not using it, when i come back to it windows will be semi-frozen. I don't know exactly how to describe it, but every application window that i leave open (mainly steam and discord) are totally unresponsive, and my mouse is frozen onscreen. The taskbar still kinda works, but i cant click anything on it and the search function never returns any results. If anyone knows what's causing this I'd be super grateful, as it's been driving me nuts having to restart my pc every time i come back to it.

I have to leave for work in a few minutes, but I will try this later tonight and get back with the results.

Unfortunately I do not have another computer with which to test the cable, but the cable is connected at both ends. Also, I have used 3 other CAT5 cables to make sure it isn't just a faulty cable and none of them worked either. Also, no lights at all. Although, looking more closely at the back of my mobo, I don't even see any lights there in the first place. The IO shield covers everything except the ports.

I'm assuming these LEDs would be on the back where the IO shield is. Anyways, I do not see any LEDs on/blinking near that port.

The Wi-Fi NIC is currently the only way I can use internet on this machine so it is somewhat needed but I'll happily take it out if I can find a surefire solution to getting my ethernet connection back. Also, I checked MSI click bios and I didn't see any kind of option to disable/enable ethernet connections. The only network related setting was enable/disable LAN PCIe related shenanigans. As for activity indicator LEDs, I don't know what they'd look like or where they'd be located on my mobo.

I did try once before, yes. However, no results. If you'd like I can try again.

So I recently had to move my PC out of my office, and therefore bought a wifi card since I couldn't use an ethernet connection anymore. However, I've moved my PC back into my office and I am trying to use an Ethernet connection again since it's faster. But for some reason, after having installed the wifi card, windows doesn't seem to think my PC is even CAPABLE of having an ethernet connection, despite the fact that I have a working CAT5 cable plugged directly into my router from my mobo. There is no ethernet adapter in device manager, and no ethernet connection in network connections. I'm pulling my hair out trying to fix this, and any help at all is appreciated.

Okay so I've tried a couple different things. I thought potentially the cause of the buzz was a ground loop, so I switched my PC's wall outlet. No dice there. However, I noticed when I touch my PC case the humming goes away. No clue why that fixed it, but I obviously cant touch my pc case 24/7. I tried changing the USB port my mic is plugged into, which didn't help at all. I'm so confused here. Honestly I might just break down and buy some new headphones.

USB dongle for my headphones or the wifi card? Cause I am using the USB dongle for my headphones but my wifi card is PCIE

So I recently purchased an Archer T5E wifi card for my pc. However, after installing the card, one of my friends remarked they were able to hear a buzzing noise whenever I talked on Discord. I'm 99% sure this is caused by some sort of interference from the wifi card, as I did not have this issue until I installed the card. I've been pulling my hair out trying to find ways to fix this, but nothing I've tried has seemed to work. If any of you audio wizards could help I'd be very grateful. BTW I have a pair of HyperX Cloud II headphones, if that helps any.

rebooted it and it went into windows just fine. guess i got all worried over nothing. TY for the help all.

unfortunately i cant move the boot drive, this is my only desktop alright. i'll try power cycling and see what happens.

So I just finished installing a new windows update, labeled under AMD. I restarted my pc to finish the process, and after my bios splash screen goes away, I'm greeted with the windows loading symbol over a black screen. It's been about an hour since then, and nothing has changed. Just those little windows loading dots spinning around in circles. I feel like I should restart my pc again but I dont want to potentially brick my mobo. Any help or solutions to this problem are appreciated. mobo: MSI X370 gaming plus CPU: AMD Ryzen 2600x

Yeah i was thinking of copping an new cooler anyways, wanted to OC. Just dropped $100 on a CM MA620M and 2 more case fans... my wallet hurts but my processor won't thanks for the help

Yes I have a side panel, it is spinning. My bios is up to date, and my keyboard is wired. Yes it is on the latest BIOS. Also it looks like the tachy signal might be the issue, CAM gives an "n/a" for fan RPM. Any way to fix this?

I Have a Ryzen 5 2600X CPU with the default cooler on it. It has served me great and I've had zero issues until recently. Recently I've been getting CPU fan errors whenever i boot up, and once in a blue moon my PC will shut down entirely (i'm assuming due to throttling). This usually happens when playing GTA online. I have no clue what is causing this, as my fan is on tight, i am not overclocked and the CPU temps only reach ~70c max, even at high loads. I tried going into my BIOS to change my fan settings, but MSI click BIOS has been ****ing up too. It just locks up the second I enter the BIOS. i have no clue if this is due to it not recognizing my keyboard and mouse or if it's truly frozen. Any help with these issues would be appreciated.

so I have an NZXT S340 case with RGB lights in it, and a Corsair Ironclaw wireless mouse. For some reason whenever I have my mouse plugged in and I unplug it, the RGB lights in my s340 shut off and refuse to turn back on unless i turn my pc all the way off and back on again. I have zero clue why this happens, and any help on how to fix it is appreciated.

yes its on windowed borderless
