Hello my fellow gamers. Pondering what to do. After recent fortnite season 4 update the game has been troublesome. some advice told me to update my drivers for the graphics which i did. I ran the game and noticed a triple in fps to almost 60. however at times the graphics would go terrible and make horrid flashes over the screen (this is a link to my fb post about it) https://www.facebook.com/100002453336321/videos/1117748485541714/ later i found that that grapics driver update disabled the dgpu and the game ran on the hd4000 igpu. i later rolled back the driver and the game ran at 20 fps. during this debacle i found the dgpu has 1gig of vram while the igpu has 2. I would love to run at 60fps but cant deal with the flashes makes the game unplayble and then when the dgpu is active no flashes but 20 fps So now the qeustion is what can i do, ram upgrade?

@CPotter and @Chase Douglas, Any news on the winners for the Rigs? How will winners be notified? Thanks @Charlie23

Yes would love to know myself, hope the news is good

And of course the RGB

Hello guys see this was posted on the twitter, so was just wondering if i missed something since there has been no updates since. https://linustechtips.com/main/uploads/monthly_2020_01/image.png.0aee55d9395a61a7d0dec98d8a2e6952.png Thanks guys.

HEy did you get a email? I was told the winner will be announced yesterday did i miss it? or what happened. checked on twitter and nothing there? so ya

Oh crud was really betting on that, but ya such is life. I just wish they would officially say someone has won, i dont care if they reveal the name just say you should stop hoping. hahaha

so will there be a announcement and when? or can they just say has won? I also check daily but cant find anything,

Need some help here please. My touch screen is doing this freaky bs since yesterday afternoon. When i do a single finger touch it makes these other touch points up and down that same line and they are not static they change constantly when i leave my finger on the screen. I do not know what could have done this? Maybe Windows update? but doubt that, could t be something more serious don't know of any virus that can do this (kinda silly), or is it driver or even worse hardware related. the laptop has fallen twice and there are some dings and bangs here and there but that was months ago and has been working fine till about 3 this afternoon. and used the touch all morning and worked fine. On FB they said calibrate the screen but that doesn't work because of the extra touch detections, so what now. Thanks for any help. Vincent

Well my pc has only 400 GB and my laptop and other USB HDD is almost full, But I am mostly after the Series and some Movies. which is about that. Things that I downloaded that I can't get back. Maybe should rather get a secondhand HDD from cash crusaders or something. AND i can only read it on my Laptop. The desktop does not "see" it.

Hey I have a Toshiba drive here, a entire TB. Been following the instructions on the left to get the disk to read again in windows but as i follow it in cmd after i ask for a primary partition it works for maybe 30 to 45 secs and the drive disconects. BTW its a USB HDD. It does not show up in This PC. It used to have almost 900GB of data on it but have given up any hope of getting it back just want the thing to work again, getting the data back would be a fantastic bonus. In disk management it looks like this Had it in my Desktop inside the case not via usb (via Sata) and not much happened could not even get it in cmd. Thanks

Rather weird issue now seems to be solved. Thanks guys

Will maar have to go for a complete breakdown. Yes twice coffee spilt on the machine (lost 2 USB ports) on RHS. Clean everything out. Its a Lenovo YOGA 310 anything I should look out for and be weary of? So you think there won't be any in the screen area? Thanks

Well now thus us rather weird. The last few days I saw something not to uncommon some ants running about where I work. But today while working in the car and closing my laptop, i found a whole troop of black ants under my laptop. They were small black ants. And they were coming from within the laptop. Should I be worried? Could they be eating the innards of my laptop out? Should I be cracking it open to see what horror lies within?
