New-ish PC has started losing time, now intermittantly won't boot. Still powers usb ports.

Motherboard - AB350 Pro4 PSU - Corsair VS650 Windows 10 64bit

About a week ago my PC - built about 4 months ago - wouldn't boot in the morning when I pressed the power button. I tried again a few hours later and it worked, but I noticed the clock on windows was hours behind. Other than that it worked fine.

This trend continued throughout the week, wouldn't respond to power button, then eventually it would boot but with a messed up clock. Today i got sick of it not turning on and ruled out a loose powerbutton switch by connecting the power pin and its neighbouring ground pin on the motherboard with a screwdriver. I got a spark but nothing turned on.

It is still outputting power to the USB ports.

I figure the problem could be in my motherboard battery - could that explain the constant loss of system time, even though power is clearly in the system? Other than that I've got no idea.

Thanks!

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
