Old Gaming Laptop Instant Drop in Performance

Hey guys, I have an Fujistu Lifebook N Series laptop which is roughly 15 years old according to my uncle. It was working perfectly 2 or 3 years ago then my uncles partner, who has a disease similar to Alzheimer's, some how managed to delete the system files including system 32 and duplicated applications 4 times over. I was unable to use the programs which are designed to reset the pc therefor decided to put linux on it. then bored with linux put windows back on it using an old CD. The laptops performance suffered a mass drop after all that and i haven't been able to fix it. It has been suffering battery issues way before that but i don't think that is a main contributing factor to is massive drop in performance. Im not sure as of now what is contains. I know it has an older gen intel core i5. if needed please comment below. Thanks!

P.S. it used to be able to run most games such as GMOD, CSGO, TF2 ect. and its failing to run rust on potato settings!

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
