CPU idles at 80c, heatsink pushpins broken.

So apparently its been 1 year since I built my rig and about 4 months ago two of my stock intel cooler heatsink pushpins broke, and I gave no thought to it and just let the others push into the mobo and there was little pressure between the cpu and heatsink, however it was only yesterday that I installed a temp monitor as for the past few months I felt that the chasis of my pc got hot while gaming, and found out my intel i5 444 idles at 70c with no programs open, I ordered a cooler for it with a proper heatsink however, I'm so stupid my cpu is probably messed up rn, is there anyway I can check the damage done to it and how much estimated lifespan does it have left? Thanks.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
