Laptop suddenly chugging, Malwarebytes and Webroot haven't turned up any viruses or malware. Restarting several times every day to keep ahead of this.

I don't know how much of this is relevant. I basically copy pasted from steam info.

Right now I have Discord, one Google Chrome tab, Steam, and Task Manager opened. I'm using 10% CPU, 34% Memory, 0% Disk, 0% Network, and 14%GPU.

I noticed that my laptop started slowing way down about three weeks ago. It would have trouble running Chrome and a game, which wasn't the case before. The computer has crashed twice in the last two months and I've been restarting it two to three times a day for the past week or so. About 2 times out of 10 I opened Chrome it would slow the computer to a crawl with maybe 3 fps and I had to fight to close it.

I just went through and uninstalled some programs and deleted some files, which seems to have done something. I also reinstalled chrome, but performance on almost everything is still down from what it was.

Does anybody have suggestions on how I can fix this? It's getting to be a big problem, since this is my only computer and I need it for uni.

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
