Old socket 775 mobo now dropping video repeatedly, needs BIOS reset to work. Same hardware worked for 3 years, no problem, now happening monthly.

Asus P5QL, Socket 775 board with no on-board video. I've tried a few different old GPUs, both Asus & Nvidia, problem occurs with all cards, IIRC. To fix I just pull the CMOS battery, but a long-term fix eludes me. None of my BIOS settings regard the video so I don't know why going back to the default is required to make it work again, but that is the biggest clue I have.

It's a 9 year old machine and therefore ripe for an upgrade but with an SSD and 8GB RAM it runs Win10 plenty fast for browser-based apps which is all it does, so I'd rather not spend the money if I can help it.

Thanks in advance for any insight or experiences to share.

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
