Perhaps some folks here know what is causing my newly bought prebuilt PC to randomly restart?

Little background, I bought a prebuilt PC off newegg through a company called "ABS" seeing as the product in question was priced decently. Setup and all that was fine, though I recall never having to type in the Windows OS key on the side of the PC at any time (thought I'd mention that just in case). It now registers that I have Windows 10 home though.

Fast forward about a week after gaming on it, it decided to restart on its own without any warning, complete blackscreen however my case fans and GPU lights were still on when this happened. Instantly reboots to sign in and it turns my keyboard to french settings where I had to press SHIFT+ALT to revert back to US keyboard. People from r/buildapc recommended to run benchmark to determine what is the culprit for all this, and it ran ok. Is this something to send back through newegg seeing as the 1 year warranty is still valid?

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
