Windows 10 update. Now my computer wakes from sleep to a frozen snowy-static screen.

New to this subreddit, I hope I don't break any rules. I've tried Google and the search bar here and haven't seen a solution yet, so I apologize if this has been asked before.

I have a Dell Inspiron 5759 laptop that's only about a year old, set up at a desk with a second monitor. As you know, Windows 10 forces updates on you, which I find pretty obnoxious. After trying to delay the most recent update as long as possible, it snuck itself in and updated automatically. Since then, every time my computer goes to sleep it wakes up to a frozen static screen, like on a TV. Only from sleep, not startup. So I've had to hold the power button down and reboot to get out of this screen

The most common solution on google is to roll back the display driver. I have two on my Dell: AMD Radeon R5 M335 & Intel(R) HD Graphics 520. Neither of these can be rolled back, suggesting there is no previous version to fall back on.

I don't know what to try at this point. One solution would be to power down when I leave my desk, instead of closing my computer, but that gets annoying quickly and the frequent startups probably aren't that good for it(?).

Anyone who has any advice, I'd love to hear it. Thanks in advance!

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
