Hello Linus Tech Tips Community, I hope everybody is having a great day! I purchased an Asus Zephyrus M16 (GU603ZW-K8062W) about a week ago. Suddenly while I was working, the battery charger stopped being recognized by the laptop, the laptop changed its power profile due to "not being plugged in anymore", and the laptop stopped charging. Connected to the laptop were: A USB monitor, a USB mouse, a USB number pad. The mouse and number pad were connected via an "Inateck 4 Port USB A Hub USB 3.2 Data Hub". These were my steps to troubleshoot the issue: - I made sure no connection was lose - I tried different power sources - I changed the power cable that goes from AC adapter into the power source - I uninstalled/re-installed the battery drivers - I did a power reset - I played with the power profiles The laptop just didn't charge anymore, however I could slowly charge the laptop via USB-C plugs. So, the issue is either the AC Adapter charger or the Laptop charge port. What other suggestions would you have to troubleshoot this issue without affecting the return policy or warranty and opening the laptop up?

Just to give you guys an update. I made a new Windows 10 installation, and it's been days and I've not had any shut downs. I was worried, because during one of the times when my PC restarted while I was plugging in the Windows 10 USB Flash Drive, the PC lost its power during the bootup. So I got worried that it may be the PSU and not the OS since the OS wasn't running yet. But it turns out that the OS may have caused these shut downs that would require me to restart my PSU every time.

I ran all tests, and everything was fine! No shut downs. Is it safe to assume now that it's a Windows 10 issue?

Thank you!

Could it be that I have too many devices connected and the 850 Watt are not enough? What's the best way to test this theory? Thanks

The Windows Event viewer says: "Critical - Kernel Power - Task Category 63 The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly." I have a Threadripper 1950X, RTX 2080 TI, 64 GB DDR4, Thermaltake Grand RGB 850W 80+ Gold PSU. I built the system myself.

Hi all. For a while now, my PC/Win 10 will randomly shut off. The power button of my PC won't be responsive, so I have to restart the PSU in order to be able to turn my PC back on. (After the unexpected shut down, my keyboard still has its RGB lights on though) Note: The random shut downs are not during gaming where a lot of power is being drawn, they truly are random even if the PC is just doing simple tasks Could it be a Windows 10 issue? How can I test that my PSU is not the issue? Thanks

Hi guys! This is an HP Pavilion 15-n080el. I'm searching for this little green part which is for the turn-on button. The cable that was attached to this green part got torn away as shown in the picture. Where would I be able to find this turn-on button part (along with the cable attached that connects to the motherboard)?

Hi guys, I hope everybody is doing great! I'm working on building a motorized Product Turntable using my Genie Syrp system, and I'm having trouble finding a simple, round disk that could be attached onto the mounting part (same kind of thread as if you were to put a camera on top of a tripod). Any suggestions where I could find such disk that would have a standard Tripod connection (1/4 or 3/8 inch)? Thanks in advance

I'm assuming SATA is faster than USB 3.0, am I correct?

Hi guys Which one would read/write faster?

Hello Linus Tech Tips Community! When I do 4K Screen Capture and use Premiere Pro, Lightroom, or Luminar, my webcam will lag heavily at certain points when the CPU is a bit overloaded. All of these programs rely heavily on the CPU, I am aware of this, and perhaps there is no way to eliminate the lag. I want to believe though that there has to be a way to handle the situation given my decent Computer system. These are my PC specs: AMD Threadripper 1950x 64GB DDR4 Ram RTX 2080 Ti I understand that using the NVENC Nvidia Encoder will tax the GPU instead of the CPU, but I have not been able to find the best quality settings yet, any suggestions? I'm also aware of the differences between CBR and VBR, but which one will put less stress on the CPU? Choosing a lower quality CB-Bitrate, or going with VRB? Image Quality should be at least 8/10. Since I'm not Gaming, 24 fps is what I use. Thank you for any advice in advance!

Software such as Premiere Pro, Lightroom. Whenever I render 8K content, Premiere does suck up a lot of juice, understandably. Going back to my original question, can I have a GTX 970 and a 2080 Ti in the same system and attach two Monitors to each GPU respectively?

If I am rendering 8K content on a 2080 Ti on one 4K Monitor, and then I am running other content through a second Monitor attached to the same GPU, it is not going to affect the performance 'by much'?

I don't want to put more workload onto the 2080 Ti
