Description of problem

Whenever I play certain games (i.e. Star Citize, Dark Souls 3, Divinity 2), my PC will occasionally reboot. Memtest86 also leads to this issue. Hours of use for simpler things like Netflix, YouTube, Reddit, etc. do not lead to this issue.

When this issue began

A few weeks ago, playing Star Citizen.

Recurring issue

Yes

Date of purchase

I custom built this PC in Summer 2016 -- replaced mobo summer 2017.

Under Warranty

Some parts? Not sure.

Cause/Steps to recreate the issue

Games or memtest86.

What I've tried so far to resolve the issue

1) Cleaned my PC with compressed air.
2) HWMonitor while playing games to see if the temp got too high -- it didn't.
3) HeavyLoad to see if it crashed when stress testing the CPU -- it didn't.
4) Replaced the PSU completely.
5) Memtest86 -- passed 100% a few times but constantly resets during so not too reliable. I checked the logs to see if there was anything of note when it crashed but there didn't seem to be.

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
