I just installed new RAM in my laptop, and the laptop turns on but doesn't post. I tried using the power button to force shutdown the laptop, but 2 seconds after I turned it off, it turns back on again by it self. What should I do? Try to unplug the battery before it turns itself back on?

No, problem man. I am learning new stuff from your discussion too

Hey guys, I was looking to upgrade my laptop, and I found a nice bundle deal for an SSD and RAM kit that I want, which is $30 cheaper than buying those components individually. However, the problem is that my laptop chipset only supports DDR4 2666, and the RAM that is included in the bundle is a DDR4 3200 CL 22-22-22-52 kit. Now, I know that if I put those RAMs in, the speed will get capped at 2666, but will the CAS latency also decrease? Because if not, I am able to buy the same SSD and a DDR4 2666 CL 19-19-19-43 kit for $5 more than the bundle deal, which could be worth it if the 3200 kit gets a capped frequency and remained at the same timing. Given that my laptop BIOS is pretty locked down and gives me no options to adjust RAM settings, will the 3200 kit automatically run at a lower timing like how its speed is automatically capped? And if not, should I spend the extra $5 to get the 2666 kit, or does the difference in timing won't result in real world difference?

I plan on using this laptop normally, so no. but won't the windows icon and the task bar, etc, be considered as displaying an image for many hours a day?

I bought the new Gigabyte Aero 15 with 4K OLED screen over Thanksgiving, and I am waiting for it to arrive this Monday. However, ever since I bought the laptop, I can't escape the fear of it getting burn ins after just few years of use. My friend, who convinced me to buy the 4K OLED version instead of the 1080p 144hz version, said that OLED technology has come a long way, and the new panels are going to last longer than the other components in the laptop, which I took with a grain of salt. He also said recent smartphones all have OLED displays, and despite being used in harsher conditions than a laptop will be in, such as under the sun, there are little reports of phones getting burn ins, which is evidence that the new OLED panels have longer life spans. I am currently a freshman in college, so I don't have the money to replace my laptop anytime soon. I expect this laptop to at least last me through grad school, which will be approximately six years, but I don't have confidence, despite my friends preaching, that the display will last that long without image retention. I still have time to return the OLED laptop and get the 1080p version. So, are my friend's claims true and is six years longer than the expected life span of the panel?
