Sorry for a late response, It took an eternity to get the laptop back. Essentially after the motherboard was replaced it works fine and haven't had any problems since.

UPDATE: Lenovo is shipping yet another box to me to replace the motherboard. Will update if this actually fixes the problem

Howdy everyone I recently purchased a Lenovo L13 Gen 2 for school and what not and the first few days went pretty flawlessly with it. I like to take notes using OneNote and pen (particularly for math and chemistry, etc.) After two days I began to have a problem where the pen seems to skip when drawing. It will also make sharp turns within a radius, random up streaks, and occassional freezing of the machine. I have sent the laptop back for repair and they claimed to of repaired it by replacing the touch screen but the problem is still recurring. I am probably going to send it back for a replacement but it took forever to get this laptop because of the pandemic stuff I suppose so I really dont wanna wait til next semester to have a touch screen laptop that works so I figured I'd ask you guys if you had any solutions. I am 90% the issue has something to do with the OS as the issue can be seen with multiple types of pens, not just the included one, accross a variety of software (namely OneNote which freezes but also Whiteboard and Word which experience the skipping and sharp turn problem but I have not seen any freezing take place in those two just yet but I dont use them as frequently.) I'll attack some pictures to show what i'm talking about, as well as a list of stuff i've tried thus far. Solutions Tried Updating drivers Updating windows Disabling press and hold within the Pen and Touch settings Complete reinstall of windows Not from a reinstall image but from the standard reinstall procedure built into windows Drivers were updated Complete reinstall of windows with bitLocker off Reinstall from microsoft through the internet under suspision of corrupt files Drivers were updated This video shows the problem

I think you may be right. I've ordered a new one, so we'll see if that fixes it. I've put a cable from a dif PSU in it and it worked for now. I'll let you know when the new one arrives if that was the prob

So, what I did was find a new connector and it worked. Guess it was that the manufacturer connector was broke?

Alright I'll give that a go,

Have that a go, and unfortunately still did not post

Oh, let me check again with the Quadro in that case

So, it does not appear to be posting when I plug it into a monitor, but the fans do turn on only when I press the power button and if the CPU connector is unplugged, as you can see in the picture above. If the CPU connector is plugged in, it does not even turn the fans on, the PSU clicks and nothing happens

It says CPU on the cable, and it's plugged into CPU1 on the PSU. I will check if it posts without the CPU connector in. Sorry for photo quality

I have it plugged into CPU1 and the cable says CPU on it, I'm wondering if maybe the cable needs to be replaced because I saw somewhere that sometimes the manufacturer can screw up the cable

So here's a photo of the PC with and without the connector to the CPU plugged in, you can see it's running when the CPU connector is not plugged in, but isnt when it is plugged in

Yes, I'll get a photo up soon

Hey guys. I put together a new build, and when I went to boot it on the first time... The PSU just clicked and nothing else happened. So I did some testing and got a new PSU from a computer I have which does work, and it clicked as well, which in my mind rules out the PSU maybe, but then I noticed whenever I unplug the 8 pin CPU connector from the MB, it worked just fine. I'll leave the build details below, but does anyone have any ideas as to why the computer won't start with the 8 pin connector in, and when I say won't start, I mean nothing happens, the fans don't start, or anything. Just the click. I did notice that some of the RGB lights on the MB that are always on remain on, but those are like that before starting the PC. My MB does have some LED indicators for errors, but they don't appear to be doing anything. CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 MB: ASUS ROG B550 MEMORY : corsair vengeance pro RGB 32gb (8x4) PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA G3 750 W 80+ GPU: Quadro P4000 (yes I know quadros in a build like this are weird, it's a weird situation) I should note I removed non essential things like the GPU and all but one ram chip while I figure out the problem

So I tried that and the solution somehow presented it's self. In doing what you said, after trying each one individually and in each slot, I put both in together, but reverse of how it originally was in my photo, and boom it worked. Thank you, I was a little worried because the company I work with has a big light analysis project due Friday and without this I doubt we'd get it done in time

I'll give that a go and get back to you

I can attach pictures, That's just how the system is it was originally made with a single P4000, and has been upgraded in terms of GPU capabilities a lot. It's used for SW so it doesnt need a good CPU, but it also has to run light analysis, sim, and visual renderings in SWV which need some hardcore GPU abilities. Any ideas about how to solve my actual problem would be nice.

Idk any of you guys can help but, I've got a machine with two Quadro RTX 6000 in it. They have an NVLink as well, and my problem is that they are not both showing up at once. Some things I've tried to resolve the problem my self include updating drivers, swapping card spots, using one card and not the other, not using NVLink, uninstalling drivers and reinstalling, replacing power cables, and some vigorous modifying of setting. In all cases I just couldn't get it to show and use both cards, now something I noticed was that in the process of using one card and not the other, the card in the second slot flickered every few seconds (Maybe that slot is broke?), and I should mention that in the past this machine has ran fine using 2 Quadro P4000s with an SLI bridge. Both cards are definitely on because they both turn on their fans. The card that isn't recognized seems to generate quite a bit of heat I've noticed, but that could also just be coincidence I suppose. I'll include the specs to the system below, if anyone has any suggestions i'd appreciate it.

I bought an Acer Predator XB272 which advertises 240 hz at 1080, and says its g-sync capable. The cable it came with was too short so I temporarily moved my rig to be closer while I waited for my longer cable to arrive from amazon. So, it worked great with the cable it came with and I didn't have any problems but when I started using the new cable and moved my rig back to its original spot I have a weird issue where sometimes the display will just lose signal for a few seconds or even minute or two it seems. I have a 1070ti, and a i7-7700k , 8 gbs of ram. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem is? The link to the cable I purchased is https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01J8S7624/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I think its a displayport 1.2 cable.

I agree. I would also not rule out getting an i7 8700k and overclocking, may be cheaper but depends on what exactly you wanna do with it.

If you are going for productivity, I would highly recommend making sure the CPU is top of the line.

Disable UEFI Protected Mode in Bios until after you've installed Windows (Or your other OS.) Also try connecting to different SATA ports, and check on that cable giving it power. I've had this happen to me when I first attempted to use a M.2 SSD. Not sure if youre doing the same thing, but if so try looking at this site. https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/samsung-960-evo-m-2-nvme-ssd-not-showing-up-in-bios-under-boot-options.3324528/

I just got an old IBM Person Computer 300PL and i'm wanting to make a sleeper computer with it. Any ideas or suggestions on what to put in it?

I usually keep it plugged in with the switch off and haven't electrocuted my self yet, that said if you have a shady power supply it may be best to unplug it while you work on it.

Thanks man, I'll try that and see how it works out.
