Had a blackscreen crash, and now PC blackscreens at startup

I was playing some Path of Exile when I noticed some glitchy things happening on my screens (use two monitors, both would flicker at the same time, hard to describe what I saw but it was like the images on screen would go on and off rapidly, with clear horizontal lines of this flickering going on. These events would last about 0.4 seconds and then everything would return to normal, until it would happen again about 30-60 seconds later. Hope someone somehow understands that...)

I didn't know what to make of it so I fiddled around with some of the other stuff I had running (browser tabs, steam open) and it seemed like it stopped. About an hour or so later, while just chatting with someone on steam (PoE still running) I just got an abrupt Black Screen, computer was still running, but I couldn't hear anything, ctrl alt del, alt tab, and all that stuff wasn't doing anything, so I let it sit for about 5 minutes before I decided to turn off the computer without a proper shut down.

When I went to reload it, I would see the initial loading screen logo and whatnot, but eventually my main monitor would just say, "no signal" and they would both just sit there black screened, and I just let it sit there for several minutes. I turned it off and tried again, and it happened again. This second time I after I let it sit there on the black screen for a while, the computer actually just powered off itself after a few minutes...

Thanks for any help ahead of time... This is a real bummer.

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
