Description of problem

When I play games such as World of Warcraft or Playerunknown's Battlegrounds it randomly shuts off like it is restarting. Not properly, but as if the power goes and instantly turns back on as if the power returns to it. I have tried to figure out if it is due to overheating, but it doesn't seem to be.

When this issue began

About 4-5 months ago

Recurring issue

Yes

Date of purchase

2014

Under Warranty

No

Cause/Steps to recreate the issue

I can't 100% make it do it consistantly. Sometimes I can play those games without any problems what so ever, and other days it keeps recurring. I can go a week without it happening, and I can go a day where I can barely play the game for 5 minutes at a time.

What I've tried so far to resolve the issue

I have tried to make sure that it is not due to overheating that is causing the problem that makes the computer shut off, but I am not that tech savy regarding computers. So I have honestly not tried much.

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
