The keys were working perfectly well be4 the drivers update, i wonder such problem, udemzyudex:am having deficulty booting to safe mode on this win8 |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by lordtim001(m): 2:56pm On Jun 13, 2019 |
udemzyudex:Safe mode also works too. Yeah, he can restart to safe mode The best bet is to revert Windows back to a time when the keyboard worked(system restore). That's why people should always create a new Windows image before doing something as critical as driver updates. And PCs should be set to backup automatically every week |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by lordtim001(m): 3:02pm On Jun 13, 2019 |
Samfilo31:Press and hold Shift and click Restart on your startup menu while still holding Shift Navigate to troubleshoot - advanced settings - startup settings Choose the right option for safe mode (It's usually 4, so that's F4 or just normal number 4) and wait for it to load up You can also turn the PC on for like 5 seconds and then turn off with the power button. Repeat the sequence like 3 times, so the PC thinks there is a problem and on the next startup, it will give you the Exit and Continue, Troubleshoot, Power Off options. Follow the remaining steps in the first paragraph |

lordtim001: You talk about testing in bios, i was just wondering how he could test all keyboard keys in bios. |

Samfilo31: Sometimes I don't reply some questions here not because i feel too big or so but because a little Google search can solve them. |

Hello nairalanders, I have a budget of 60k and I want a UK used laptop with specs: core i5, 1080p resolution, 8gb ram, 500ssd. |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by lordtim001(m): 7:57am On Jun 14, 2019 |
udemzyudex:Lol. In many BIOS( mostly Insyde sha), they have an option to make sound when keys are pressed. So, if he activates it and those keys do not make sound when pressed, that means it's a hardware problem. At least, I know that keys Y and N work universally in most BIOS. Hope you grab?? |

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by lordtim001(m): 8:20am On Jun 14, 2019 |
Gbzloved:Guy!!! ![]() You can get an i5 (maybe 2nd generation or vPro) 4gb RAM at most (You can upgrade later but it might only increase performance slightly. Go for 4gb and don't run too many programs at once) 512mb - 1gb dedicated graphics maybe But don't expect 1080p resolution or SSD. The cheapest 500gb SSD is like 35k in Naira. And 1080p screen laptops with the rest of your specs intact start from at least 150k. The truth is there is nothing fantastic about 1080p on laptops. It wastes battery and can even reduce playability in games. You can get an SSD of maybe 60gb as an internal drive for Windows and major programs. Then, your HDD will be connected as external drive I don't sell laptops but these are your options for that price Hp Elite book 2170p Hp Elite book 2570p Dell Latitude E5430 Hp Elite book 8440p You can check out shopinverse at Maryland mall cos they sell in bulk and the prices will be cheaper than most Computer Village vendors. And no, I'm not affiliated with them 2 Likes |

Apeshy101:Use paid antivirus. Do full scan. Anytime a virus is quarantined, go to your quarantine area and delete it immediately |

My major PC problem was with the VPN I was using. It slows down my PC speed and sometimes my PC got disconnected from the internet. I was using a free vpn. But I switched to ivacy vpn which is a paid service. Things got improved and it never got stuck again. Get ivacy now https://ivacy.com |

Hi guys, my system automatically turns off after about 20-30 minutes on.. If I turn on again, it shuts down automatically after few minutes again.. What could be wrong with it?? Udemzyudex, etech, hollarmy and others please help |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Razak5(m): 8:06am On Jun 15, 2019 |
Makschinchin: Hello. This symptom indicate a heating issue with your system. So, every motherboard has an inbuilt mechanism that shutsdown the entire PC when the heat goes through the roof. Thus preventing the motherboard from being fried (like dodo) I love dodo - The one that is fried deep brown?? Yeah that kind ![]() Oops! Where was I ? ![]() Now, aside the normal heat generated by ICs and other aside components, the processor and graphics chip generate a considerable amount of heat!! So, what could make your processor or graphics chip heat up so bad? Well, thermal pastes on processors and thermal pads on chips increase heat absorption...in fact they contact heat first before heat even gets to the heat sink ![]() If these thermal pastes and pads are worn out, the absorption decreases soo much. So, even if your fan is spinning well, it ain't blowing Nada off your PC. Check with a technician to do a clean up of your PC, Vents, Fans and fins. Also a thermal paste/Pad replacement. As for the bolded, well, its still hot... And if the issue persists, the technician will do further diagnosis. BTW, dodo means fried plantain. ![]() ![]() **Cheers** 1 Like |

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by lordtim001(m): 9:44am On Jun 15, 2019 |
mcdokwe:That's why it is a second option. I don't expect him to try that first. By the way, I have done that more than 20 times on my PC and my hard drive is still working. It still reads healthy. Except if na rubbish drive |

Hello, Good day all I have acer mini laptop aspire one D255. Recently it can't charge more than 30 second before the charging light turns off. Is there something i can do here please gurus in the house. |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by etech: 3:11pm On Jun 15, 2019 |
Quick one is your battery icon marked x if not try another Charger and see if that works. Your charging port might be a suspect in this. onyechimereze1: |
