Monitor Randomly Goes Black But PC Keeps Running.

I need some tech support!

Over the last few weeks my custom built desktop PC has developed an odd behavior. Every now and then, at seemingly random times, my monitor goes black for a few seconds. The audio keeps going though. If I'm playing a game, the game appears to keep going as well. In other words, the computer does not seem to be crashing - the screen just goes black.

Here's my basic set up:

FX-8320

GTX 970

16 GB DDR3 RAM

Corsair CX600M PSU

Acer 1080p 144Hz monitor (DVI connected)

I've tried hooking up another monitor but it still happens. I've tried updating my GPU driver, but no luck there either. GPU and CPU temps appear to be within normal limits.

I have mostly had this happen while gaming or watching a Youtube video, but it has happened... just because. I am stumped here. I've never seen a computer do this before.

If anyone has any ideas, I would really appreciate it. I suspect it's a hardware failure of some kind, but I really don't know.

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
