Super helpful, thanks so much! feeling pretty confident now.

Hello everyone, I am in need of help! I have an interview where I will need to remove a virus from a computer as a test. I'm familiar with a lot of the hardware aspects of computers, but have never myself gotten a virus. I've helped some friends remove viruses from their computers but they were pretty simple and I'm assuming this test might be "tricky" Could someone give me a run down, on what they would do in this scenario? I can bring any "tools" I think might be helpful in removing it. What should be my first steps, should I be looking anywhere in particular, etc.? I would truly appreciate some tips.

Tried everything besides updating the bios. But don’t I need to be able to get into the bios to update it in the first place?

Windows boots normally, but when trying to enter BIOS at start up I just get a blank screen. I’ve tried all the different display/hdmi ports on my pc. What can I do?

I disconnected water cooler, fans, and GPU. Still makes that noise

I bought this PC and it is making a buzzing noise. I think it’s coming from the motherboard but not sure how or why. It’s not coming from the psu, I unplugged all fans, aio pump and took out the GPU so I know it’s none of those. What could be the issue? Here’s a video of the noise: https://youtube.com/shorts/53mn-601z2Q?feature=share

Just bought a pc. Everything works so far. But when trying to enter bios, I’m greeted with a blank screen. Booting into windows works, tried all ports on both GPU and mobo. It’s an asrock mobo.

So there is a setting within Windows itself that i had checked that enables wake from sleep with mouse.keyboard. But I was unaware there was a separate setting within BIOS.

This was the fix. Thank you.

Yes it is

So I built my PC and whenever my PC goes to sleep I have to wake it by pressing the power button. It will not wake up from moving/clicking the mouse or keyboard. I checked the power management settings under device management and they both checked to wake from sleep. Not sure why its doing this.

My second monitor wont work unless I unplug my first monitor. In settings it says the second monitor is plugged in but not active. It was working just a minute ago. What caused it was I noticed my 144hz monitor was only running at 100hz. So I unplugged my second monitor and then it let me set my first monitor to 144hz. I then tried plugging in my second monitor and it would not turn on. I set my frist one back to 100hz, restarted my pc and it still will not work. I tried uninstalling the drivers and that didn't help either. Now I'm not sure how to get it back on. first monitor is 1440p, second is 4k, GPU is radeon 5600xt.

I'm brand new to linux. I've got linux mint installed, all drivers are installed. My issu is I have a 1440p monitor and a 4k monitor. My 4k monitor is running at full 4k so everything looks very small, when I try to scale, either using hi-DPI or by using the drop-down box and scaling from there, it becomes very blurry. Is there a way to fix the blur when scaling?

Totally new to Linux, I'm trying to get Mint, I got the universal USB installer, and downloaded mint. Followed a youtube tutorial. When booting from the USB drive I get the option to run Mint. When I do this however I get a message saying "no irq handler for vector". Then my screen goes blank. Any help would be appreciated. Here are my specs: ASUS Tuf x570 moptherboard Ryzen 3600 corsair vengeance ram (2 x 8gb) rtx 2070 super

So I swapped to a new motherboard, got it all set up, turned the pc on, and it doesn’t boot to windows. It recognizes my ssd, however says it isn’t a bootable device. What gives? What do i do?
