    if the laptop is rather new and still under warranty I would RMA-it. I had a similar issue with an older Asus laptop and no one from my area wanted to fix it. to me it sounded like a power delivery issue but they did not want to even look at it. SO yea.... RMA and make sure you get all of your important data off the drive

    also usually when it's a power delivery problem it bluescreens or crashes outright, the way this freezes makes me think of either a software or a memory problem

    I bought it from another country, so I'd rather try and fix it first

  3. Hi everyone, I recently bought a Ryzen 5 5600h/rtx 3050 Dell g5 5515 and since the day I bought it I've experienced random freezes from time to time. Like, once or thrice a day, all processes start lagging and then freezing until everything gets frozen (aside from the audio that still works in the meanwhile, and sometimes I can still move my mouse around but nothing else works). The only way to solve this is to force a shutdown by keeping the power button pressed and when it turns back on it shows the Windows Blue screen where it asks if I want to reset like normal or use the backup options etc. Is anyone experiencing the same problem? What should I do? Thanks in advance

    Notice there are no *long-term* reviews of computers? They can't because the vendor doesn't sell the same model 3-4-5 years down the line, so long term reliability can't be determined. Best a reviewer can do is say, "well, it powers on..."

    Look up the history of the HP DV line and get back to me on how much their systems suck.

    Nevermind the whitelisting of CPU upgrades in their BIOS, or the use of shit VRMs and general hardware in their desktops.

     

    HP: just don't.

    AS to suggestions, anything but HP.

    I see there are not so many 1650 ti laptops, while there are a lot of 1650s. Is the extra money worth it? Should I get something like Acer Swift X SFX14-41G-R7YC PC Portatile, Notebook con Processore AMD Ryzen 5 5500U, RAM 8 GB DDR4, 512 GB PCIe NVMe SSD, Display 14" FHD IPS LED LCD, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 4 GB, Windows 11 Home : Amazon.it: Informatica this?

    Professional opinion: I wouldn't own an HP product if you gave me the money to buy it with. They are built with bottom of the barrel quality parts designed to last just past the warranty, then fail. HP has a huge history of fobbing off grade C garbage as a PC.

    how come? From the reviews there seemed to be no particular problems, and the models it was compared to were either not available anymore or way more pricy. What would you suggest getting instead?

  6. Hi, I'm looking for suggestions on which budget to pick with a budget of around 800-900 euros to do some gaming on low settings, don't care much about graphics quality, I just want a laptop that can run all games and that can last a while. With a quick amazon search I found these 2 laptops:

    1.Lenovo Laptop IdeaPad Gaming 3 da 15" (AMD Ryzen 5, 8 GB di RAM, SSD da 512 GB, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050, Windows 10), colore: Nero : Amazon.it: Informatica

    2. HP - Gaming Pavilion 15-ec1001sl Notebook, AMD Ryzen 5, RAM 8 GB, SSD 512 GB, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650Ti 4 GB, Windows 10 Home 64, Display 15.6"" FHD IPS Antiriflesso, Webcam HP TrueVision 720p, Nero" : Amazon.it: Informatica

    What do you think is the best deal and best suited for my needs? Are there any better options available in italy in this budget? Thanks in advance

  7. Hey guys, I'm working on a new project in java and I'm using JScrollPane to be able to scroll through the main panel of the screen.

    Since I want to add a search function, is it possible to scroll down automatically to a specific component? If so, how?

  8. hi guys, my brother just bought a second 144hz monitor to go along with his 60hz one, both 1080p. The 60hz one is connected with HDMI while the 144hz is connected with a Display Port. problem is, when he connects them both to the pc, it shuts down. To turn it on again he needs to remove the cable and turn it on again. Any ideas? he's got a 1050

  9. Hey guys, I recently built my brother a pc, with a new case, motherboard ( a gigabyte b350 ds3h) ,a Ryzen 5 1600AF, and the VS450 and gtx 1050 from his previous system.

    It booted smoothly and worked perfectly the first day. Since yesterday though he's been complaining about his pc rebooting at random. While initially under the impression it could be a driver problem, he has now found out that it reboots whenever the table the pc sits on takes even a small hit. Tried it myself, and it indeed rebooted by hitting the table. What could the problem be? If there were a cable or something coming off, why does it reboot with no problem right after?

     

    also, his pc didn't turn on like 5 minutes ago, and I managed to turn it on by pushing in the power cable. That might be unrelated though

    Likely.

    That means it (the PC and its motherboard) adheres to the ATX standard. 

     

    Do check if the new power supply has at least as much ampere on each of the voltage levels. Compare the labels on the side of the current and new PSU and see if the ampere is the same or higher on the new PSU.

    Look on the label for 5V, 12V and 3.3V and see the A measurement next to it.

    I'm not getting a new psu, I'm reusing the psu for the new motherboard and CPU. They're low power anyways (a gigabyte h110 and a pentium g4560)

  11. Hey guys, my brother has recently upgraded his motherboard+cpu from an h110+pentium g4560 to a b350+ ryzen 5 1600 af. While at it, I was thinking of maybe using the motherboard and processor my brother isn't using to upgrade my father's pc, which is one of those prebuilts from hp with a 775 with a pentium e5500. Question is, would his power supply be compatible with the more modern motherboard?

    Typically this is referred to as a PSU shroud or a PSU basement.

  13. Hello guys, I am here once again to ask for your suggestions.

    My brother is looking to upgrade his pc and buy himself a new case, and his budget for the case is about 60 euros. He wants the case to have the space to hide cables and the power supply, I don't know the actual name. What could I get for this budget?
