  1. I have an AOC 27 inch IPS monitor with a matte finish. Earlier today I was putting a pair of scissors back on the shelf above my desk when they slipped and scratched the matte coating along with the polaroid, as there is now a small hole of white light coming through the scratch. It's near the bottom of the screen and I was looking to get a 144 Hz 1440p monitor soon anyways, but I was hoping to use my current monitor as a secondary display for productivity. Any way to fix this or is it something I'm going to have to live with?
  2. I have an Asus GL752V laptop with an i7 6700HQ, a GTX 960M GPU, 16 GB of RAM, and a 1 TB HDD. I recently built my own computer, so I was planning to install and SSD and give this laptop to someone else. The SSD is a 500 GB M.2 SATA WD Blue. I turned off the laptop and unplugged it to remove the HDD and install the SSD, as I was planning to do a clean install of windows 10. After installing the SSD and powering the system back on, the laptop does not post. The screen seems to be off, despite multiple power LEDs turning on when I hit the power button. I removed the SSD and tried to boot the computer with only the original hard drive, but there was no change. I cleared the CMOS, but there was still no change. I attempted to post with only one RAM stick installed and the drives removed, and the computer just power cycled (it did this for both SODIMM modules). Is there anyone who knows how to resolve this problem, or did I just brick a laptop by installing an SSD?
  3. So I just built my first system with a Ryzen 5 2600 and an Asrock X470 board (I plan on keeping the motherboard for a while), and was planning to overclock. I have a CryoRig H7, so I should have plenty of thermal headroom for a stable 4 GHz oc. I adjust my voltage and frequency in Ryzen Master and confirm stability with a Cinebench run (Working on downloading Aida 64). Problem is, with an unstable oc my system just freezes, and the only way to undo it is to force power my system off or use the reset button. I'm worried that I'll corrupt my OS or do some kind of software damage from repeatedly doing this while trying to find a stable oc profile. Am I doing this wrong or is that a necessary risk of overclocking? I was prepared for extra heat but not for OS damage
