Description of problem

Installed RAM, at first I had all 3 8GB sticks because as far as i could tell they all matched. Booted the computer with the 3 RAM installed and my monitor showed an "Unsupported mode" error. Turned the computer off then turned it back on and it showed the error again, but after about 3 min booted up normally except that there were some visual errors on my bios screen such as tearing and glitching. Got past that and logged in and everything worked fine, no errors. Woke up this morning, booted my computer like normal, tried to play a game and it just hung. Wasn't responding to any input. It did this twice. I then took out the original RAM stick and left the two new ones in because i thought maybe this was causing the problem. Now it refuses to boot and I have gotten the Blue screen several times. First couple showed a BIOS error, so I reset my MOBoard. Next just showed sys errors. I wiped my computer and reinstalled windows, and now i am getting the Unsupported Mode error again unless i boot into safe mode. I am not sure what to do. I read online that this error is due to the resolution, but it always worked fine before.

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
