Description of problem

My computer has had issues involving crashing for nearly two years. It used to work flawlessly with all applications, though now it has constantly inconsistent issues that randomly resolve themselves, then come back. From blue screen restarts, to simply crashing games, to my browser crashing at least once a day. I cannot find out what's wrong with my computer, because the problems are never consistent, so I never know what to do, how to approach it, or anything of a similar sort.

In case this can help, my graphics card, since installation, has never wanted to spin its' fans on its' own. I've had to use MSI afterburner in order for the fans to spin fast enough to prevent the card from overheating, and blue screen crashing my computer.

When this issue began

These issues first popped up after the installation of my graphics card nearly two years ago. (The computer also was knocked over at that time, though I'm uncertain if that matters.)

Recurring issue

Yes

Date of purchase

N/A

Under Warranty

No

Cause/Steps to recreate the issue

I don't know what is causing the specific issues, so I cannot say.

What I've tried so far to resolve the issue

All I know is I've tried virus programs, all which have found nothing, a few registry-based edits, which did nothing, I've even checked the connections, and updated all software within my computer itself.

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
