System running fine but only when outside of chassis?

Disclaimer: I've posted this before but at a bad time of day. Hoping this will get more traction.

So, for almost half a year I've had this crashing issue with my PC. It would run fine for days or even weeks without crashing and then randomly, without any decernible cause, freeze up or give me a blue screen. Once this happens, it will crash again but instead of taking days it'll take hours. The frequency of the crashes increases until I cannot even boot into windows.

I've tested out pretty much every component to remedy this and at this point I'm certain that it is a hardware issue. Most notably when taking my PC apart to swap parts, there are no crashes while I run my system open air; outside of the case. This is the only method that consistently got rid of the crashes for me. Swapping components would only temporarily solve the issue til a week or so later when the cycle starts again. Also interesting to note is that I've taken the system apart and put it together three times by now. So this isn't some ESD caused by a random screw just laying in the case. Something's up with the way my hardware interacts with my case and I have no idea what it could be.

Additional info:

  • Case: Fractal Design Define Nano S (ITX)

  • Mobo: Asus Z170i Pro Gaming

  • PSU: Corsair SF600 with cablemod extensions mounted with a Silverstone SFX to ATX bracket

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
