The laptop's battery is dead so I've set every power setting for when the laptop is plugged in to never. Also just set the battery ones hoping it does something.

My laptop goes to rest mode on itself aproximatelly every 5 minutes. Prior to this a repair guy changed the cooler on it since it died this morning and he used a similar one so we could get the laptop working. Is there a possibility that the cooler is affecting the magnetic field of the HALL sensor (The laptop's lid magnets) and causes it to go to sleep mode?

Alrighty, will give it a shot. Thanks!

I will give it a look and probably fiddle around but there's no magnet around or near the laptop itself though

Any context as to what is that please.

So I recently did a little fixing around in my laptop and I renewed the thermal compount and installed windows 10. Now, my laptop just shows a "shuting off" screen and goes to sleep and I just press the power button and it switches on as if I had shut the lid and reopened it. It doesn't overheat, it even does that while doing nothing and at 50 degrees Celsius so temperature ain't the problem. It is starting to annoy me. I have the latest windows 10 updates and I will start updating drivers till it stops shutting off. One guess could be the GPU drivers but it's a long shot.

The title says most of it but I will explain. My dad's laptop this morning after his daily before work use was okay after without him knowing he placed it on a wet surface which still had some water but not a lot. The laptop now, doesn't switch on. The HDD light and power light do switch on when connected to the charger but I told him to switch it off and battery off and let it dry in a hot and dry place like the old ltt video with that windows 8 laptop. Should I do something more?

You never know unless you try!

Well great choice. Well sudden shut offs in most cases are either caused by power starvation or overheating so unless you ensure the psu ain't it run a thermal test as @zambrano8512 mentioned

Lol, it was a good idea. Well last tip is probably contact your gpu manufacturer maybe they have an idea or two. Good luck on your "adventure"!

You mentioned bios drivers but not GPU drivers. Is there a chance you haven't taken a look at those. If yes ignore this buy if no buddy there's a big chance it's just outdated drivers

Well have you taken a look at the thermals of the CPU and GPU before running into assumptions? Good possibility could be that thermal paste is all dried out in either one of them and is underperforming thus overheating and shutting off. Hit me up with an update

Shot in the dark but say all hardware aspects are taken care of, maybe your windows install is corrupt Try reinstalling Windows.

Sorry to hear, I've found that some of Logitech's budget lineup of headset have a very loose fit if that's what you're looking for, plus might be a dumb question but have you tried a good pair of Earbuds?(Unless you need the microphone that headsets offer). Plus friently advice, streer aways from Razer headset. The have a more esports-ish fit so they kinda squeeze your head after long use.

I am interested in buying a used Logitech G29 from Facebook Marketplace since it's a good sim wheel and affordable. BUT, with every used market purchase there's a risk. That being said, I was wondering. What are the most common faults in the G29 that I should look for upon inspecting? Plus as a safe choice around the same money I can buy a new Thrustmaster T150 which I chose in case FM sellers seem sketchy and I choose to play it safe. Thanks!

So I won't loose any files and saying my key doesn't work I will be able to not ruin anything and be able to return to my OS?

The title says it all but if it's unsure will I be able to return to Windows 8.1 if my key doesn't work?

So I read that my current OS Windows 8.1 will cease to receive security updates so I thought why not upgrade to Windows 10. After an investigation I found out that Microsoft ended their free upgrade programme years ago and I did some more digging and found in a Microsoft forum someone saying that if I asked nicely maybe they could help me by extending the offer for me. Well I did and I was told by a Microsoft Customer Support rep that I could indeed upgrade to Windows 10 with my 8.1 product key. My installation failed and I contacted MS support again only to be told that there is no such thing as free upgrade and that I was misguided. Is there any non-sketchy way to upgrade to Windows 10 without having to buy a key? Edit 1: And, If i proceed with the download even if I don't know if the whole product key fiasco works, Can I return back to Windows 8.1 if my key doesn't work?

Thanks for the help. But there is a little problem. He needs it in at least 1-2 weeks time. Some parts you have listed are out of stock

Budget (including currency): £800 Country: UK Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: FiveM, School stuff and heavy games in general Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Case:NZXT H510 - Compact ATX Mid-Tower PC Gaming Case CPU: Ryzen 7 3800X MB:Asus ROG Strix B450-F Gaming II RAM:Corsair CMW16GX4M2C3200C16 Vengeance RGB PRO 16GB (2X8GB) Cooling:Corsair Hydro H100 x 240mm Radiator Dual 120mm PSU:Corsair TX-M Series 650 Watt 80 Plus Gold Certified PSU HDD1:Samsung SSD Evo 500GB HDD2:Seagate BarraCuda 1TB Internal Hard Drive HDD This PC was tasked to me to source the parts in order for my friend to order them. I haven't picked a GPU since the prices are high af and if he doesn't end up finding one, I will have to change the CPU to one with on-board graphics. The budget is excluding the GPU price. Please tell me your opinions and if you spot anything odd please point it out!

have you updated the drivers?

I checked before it froze i had 99% usage and 91C temp max TDP is 105C

i havent i tried but when i thought it was the right time to check my Laptop froze i will try again and tell you

Hello since this morning my Laptop has had a problem which when i turn it on and try to game for a like 5-10 minutes it freezes and i can't do anything and I have to unplug it (the battery iis removed a long while ago due to it being unable to hold a charge and shuts off immidiately after being unpluged) and after I turn it on again it freezes again after 5-10 minutes. Is there any way to solve this problem since i can't afford to buy a new one or even take it to a shop to fix it. Thanks in advance

You need to go to your BIOS and change it there is a profiles tab on the BIOS that once you choose the profile 1 ussually there's only one and there you go
