im on windows 11, front IO randomly stopped working, but earbuds work perfectly fine in the back motherboard IO, I never unplugged them from the front. After I restarted my PC, it just stopped working, any ideas

Hi, My WiFi just died on my laptop. Is it common for mini PCIe card to die for WiFi? Can PCIe slot die for no reason. Walked away from laptop, came back to no internet access. Asus k55a. Re seated card, no change. Removed all power to laptop, no change. Plugged in Wifi adapter to USB, that worked. Also note lots of refreshing on desktop.

I have a gtx 960 and i tried turning it on this morning with no luck. It was working perfectly yesterday, but today it doesnt display anything when i connect any of the ports to the monitor. It isnt the psu as the graphics card lights up, its not the monitor or the cables because i have tested them with another device, i also tested my motherboard with vga and that worked perfectly fine. Im suspecting either the 960 isnt working, or its the pci express slot - But how do i find out? Theres only one pci port and i dont have any other computers to test it out. Is this common with the 960? I could get a refund and upgrade to the 1050ti, but id rather find a solution. Update: im not sure if you can see it in the image attached, but theres some sort of sticky-liquid on the card. Could this be the issue?

I'm 5 hours into Night in the Woods. My last session was 20mins until it crashed "has stopped working" when I was afk. This is the only crash so far. None of my other games crash (yet). Only Dark Souls 3 (very rare) but I assumed that's down to the bad port. Can anyone analyse the Event Viewer details? Any tips or advice is great, thanks!

Windows 10 Education 64bit ASUS Prime B350-Plus BIOS ver. 0902 AMD Ryzen 5 1600 GSkill Ripjaws V 8GB 2x4GB 3200Mhz SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX480 OC Seasonic M12II 520 EVO 520W 80+ Bronze Fully Modular WD Green 120GB SSD WDC 320GB WDC 1TB Above is the specs of my desktop. When installing Fitgirls repacks, I receive CRC errors randomly. I have installed Middle Earth - Shadow of War but it crashes randomly and one time my monitor turns red. My suspect here is the RAM but I checked the QVL of ASUS and it is on the list.

Hi, so my keys on my Corsair k55 have stopped working. What happens is the key will not register and after hitting it a few times it finally works. This usually happens when I am typing. But now my left side shift, caps lock and tab keys have stopped working. My keyboard is about 2-3 months old, with no wear and tear, or water split on it. Any suggestions?

I am using a laptop with a fresh install of windows 10. I use Bitdefender 2018 and Dashlane but for some reason when those two are used together I get a warning saying Dashlane has stopped working. I have turn off the safe files module that used to be an anti ransom ware. I have also excluded the Dashlane files from scanning. I am wondering if anyone else is having this issue. Thank you everyone for your time and help.

Hi Techies, got a conundrum for you. A little while ago, my Mum's Toshiba Satellite C850 suddenly stopped working. She said she didn't knock it around or anything, and I believe her. The system just sits there, with no internal/external display output. The CPU fan is running, as if the system is locked up. Troubleshooting done as follows: Swapped RAM for known good sticks. No luck. Even reseated original sticks. Reseated CMOS battery. Nothing. Unplugged battery and ac adapter and held down power button for 30sec to try and discharge any leftover power. Nothing. Tried to run without SSD and DVD drive. No dice there. Any ideas? I'd hate to have to break it to her that her laptop is cactus and she has to get a new one. The last time it was working it was shutdown properly.

So my motherboard arrived literally 2 weeks ago and today suddenly the usb slot stopped working. At first I thought it was my mouse, but after some testing I worked out it was the usb slot. Is there any way to fix it or could it just be something that I would need to send my board back for?

Good evening tech community, first off, I am not a native speaker, please go easy on my spelling/grammar/etc mistakes. So I've had this issue, that I will come to later, for a while now. This morning I was close to killing myself over it, until this "5K Imac" video of linus released decent amounts of adrenaline to keep me from ending my life - and also brought me the idea to give the community a shot, that linus admire so much. 1. This is what happened To start things off, my system specs: CPU: i7-4770K GPU: MSI 780 Lightning PSU: Corsair RM 850W MB: MSI Z87 MPOWER RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance Black (running XMP) Storage: 128GB Samsung 830 SSD, 1TB WD OS: Windows 7 64 Bit Service Pack 1 The Computer has been running in this configuration for at least 6 Months (Stable, no crashes / errors / issues whatsoever). No changes in hardware have been made whatsoever. However it should be noted, that the harddrives (and os) are from a previous build which used an i5-3550 and a asus gtx 660. This previous build was stable for almost a year, until I upgraded everything but the harddrives. Although online folks told me differently, I could just plug in the harddrives and boot into windows with all my old folders / layout / data without any issues. Once again: NO CRASHES for at least 6 months straight. I used MSI Afterburner 4.0 with my MSI card. Also installed the MSI VGA Fan Tool which was made for the 780 Lightning, mainly to control that noisy ass fucking useless middlefan. Good knows why there is a fan in front of a metal plate with no cooling fins. Everything worked flawlessly. Then, about 4 Weeks ago, Afterburner suddenly told me it couldn't connect to the update server (See attachments). It also stopped recognizing my GPU and Gpu driver along with all temperature checkpoints on the card. It only showed Windows Ram usage. MSI VGA fan control didn't pop an error message, but also managed to stop working . Neither afterburner nor vga fan control can be adjusted anymore (see attachments). Fuck. Now the middlefan ramps up like a little b**** when playing games. What used to be my beloved near silent 1500€ killer gaming/edeting/working machine turned into a damn jet turbine. Could've had this much cheaper. Then I tried out EVGA Precision x16. Surprisingly, It worked. It showed some graphs regarding the gpu (I am not sure if power consumption and gpu clock are the only two that can be displayed, or if the others are hidden in some submenu). The fan control regulates one fan controller (The two big fans on the left and right), however not the second one (The yellow noisy middlefan). This smaller one still turns up like hell in video games. Precision x16 gave me an error this morning saying it couldn't connect to the internet. It could again after a reboot - afterburner still denies its services. 2. This is what I've done so far as mentioned, installed precision x to see if it might be due to gpu (but it is prooven that it isnt, right?) reinstalled EVERYTHING MSI related (tried to) reinstall everything nVidia related (after reboot, an old driver automatically installed itself .. dont know how that happened. maybe the pc took it from the downloads folder?) Just for the heck of it and in between steps rebooted the pc millions of times contacted MSI support twice: First guy told me to dump my pc and buy a new desktop from the MSI website (S***er) :angry: :angry: Second guy was a lot nicer. Told me to reinstall stuff, update stuff, clean regestry, and then to reinstall windows I did everything he said but to reinstall windows. I even used a regestry cleaning tool, although internet told me otherwise (I is said to be really unsafe). However, I dont feel like I did it properly. searched the web forever, however no one seems to have my certain issue updated everything (got my hands on afterburner 4.1 just today, same result : "can't connect to update server") "downdated" everything, used most older versions - still, all tell me they cant reach the update server# 3. Conclusion (about the question) I need to control the noisy middle fan. It is jus not necessary for it to run at 45% since booting (it always did that, and I always turned it down). I dont feel like its a Windows or GPU problem. Why would a problem randomly accur after over six months of problem free use without hardware changes? This doesnt make any sense to me. I think that something is preventing Afterburner from working - in the sense like afterburner needs (at least once maybe) a connection to the internet to varify (that I am not some spammer or anything?), but as it cannot establish a connection, the program locks itself and doesnt work? I mean why else would Precision x work? What could be hindering Afterburner? I really dont want to reinstall Windows. This would mean so much work for me as I really costumized my desktop and OS and file management etc. As I know the least about the regestry, and the nice MSI guy talked about it and cleaning it, I suspect the regestry to be the fault. (?) If you made it until the end, I want to thank you - I dont take it as granted that you take your time to help or even read about my issue. If you've any Solution, or idea, or know someone or know some place or website I could write to, anything - please let me know. Thank y'all so much in advance, yours truly, from the north of Germany, Richard

Slightly annoyed at the moment. Got up this morning and turned on my PC and 4 of my USB 3.0 ports are not working, 2 still are and so are the 2.0 ports. I have a MSI Z77 MPOWER Motherboard. So now I only have 4 rear usb ports, two 2.0 and two 3.0.

Every time I start naming a new character in Terraria, the game stops working, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp8_XoJOVIg Anyone know what is going on? Tell me if you need more information. Thanks. :)
