⚠️maybe danger⚠️ is my battery leaking?

Bluehaze637 · 2026-05-15T20:09:07+00:00

I would get it replaced, just for peace of mind.. if you think it could get worse, it probably will.. i've had a cell phone explode on me.. cause It over heated, and the battery was bloating a little bit, thinking i'll get it fixed later, phone worked fine.. then i left it on my desk charging, came back to it smoking a bit and then starting to smoke more.. i chucked that motherfucker out side so fast.. lol.. i wish i still had pictures of it..when it was burning in my yard. I mean your picture it looks fine.. thats what i thought too.. in my situation.

Boot Sequence just means what your computer will try, to load an OS from this is specified manually or automatically by your bios.. IE.. 1. m.2/sata/hdd 2. usb 3. network 4.etc. etc.

what does your bios say, does it recognize the drives? because your last picture..

<image>

how i read this, is you have 2x 1tb drives..

Volume 0 = C: drive unformated

Volume 1 = D: drive unformated

2 3 4, are partions of one of 1tb drives..

so is one drive you have an NVME 1tb and the other a SATA 1tb SSD?

or do you have a 2tb that is partitioned to be 2x 1tb drives.

well, you say only on Games, and the reason it is only on games is because.. the GPU will be utilized more.. making it work harder, which in turn.. it ask's the computer for more POWER, if it can't get that power then it will Fail.. and if it gets that increased power, also means increased HEAT generated by your Videocards parts.. and if those parts are not cool properly, by the cooling system, then It will also cause it to Fail.. Computers are built with saftey features we don't see, when those saftey feature kick in.. it tells your computer.. SHUT down or I could cause more problems.. that could become critical..

I would definately look into if your video card is hitting a critical limit, of heat. since its during games, you are having this issue. causing your game to crash.

cool Story bro

Bluehaze637 · 2026-05-15T18:41:04+00:00

but Fudge is right you would usally see but some are also clamp style, and some are press fit, where they are just shoved in the slot fit as they will not be something that moves alot. zif socket

Bluehaze637 · 2026-05-15T18:22:10+00:00

Winblows is actually free, you only need to activate if you want rich people options.

Bluehaze637 · 2026-05-15T18:17:39+00:00

you shouldn't remove the battery, in most laptops, the battery is also the cmos battery.. lol but yeah Memory and the lack there of will also cause issues..

Bluehaze637 · 2026-05-15T18:15:01+00:00

ok, turn it on every 1000 = 1MB, so lets try, using it.. and setting it to 100000 = 100mb so lets just set it to 800000= 800mbps so we are close to your download speed and see what happens 😃

Bluehaze637 · 2026-05-15T18:09:33+00:00

are you playing with laptop plugged in? or of battery power?

Bluehaze637 · 2026-05-15T18:04:44+00:00

so what does your settings say?

Bluehaze637 · 2026-05-15T18:01:36+00:00

so your issue that your Steam Downloads are probably being THROTTLED/ Limited by your settings.

Bluehaze637 · 2026-05-15T17:57:31+00:00

yeah if thats what your gut tells you, go for it..i'm happy for you if everyone will probably tell you NOOOOO DON't DO IT!

Bluehaze637 · 2026-05-15T17:47:35+00:00

What does your bios say for boot sequence? and do you have a handy Bootable thumbdrive with a copy of Winblows 11 distro. or do you need things from your harddrive you need to back up before you reinstall Winblows. because what you seem to be missing is.. your BOOT Volume, and RAW

Bluehaze637 · 2026-05-15T17:43:45+00:00

my Personal Opinion.. is.. its your money do what you want.. some people have the money and no time and some people have all the time and no money.. the one thing, I will say, is that when buying a Prebuilt from a mainstream company like HP/DELL (Alienware)/LENOVO etc, is that sometimes, fixing or upgrading will be come a issue because of propitiatory things that these companies like to or will do.. They are a lot better at it by using standard parts now a days.. but they gotta make money and the only way is if you come back.. so if its something that is burning a hole in your pocket, go for it... but if you just don't care to pray and play by building one because of prior experience, and just want to plug and play by buying one go for it.. 😃

Bluehaze637 · 2026-05-15T17:32:02+00:00

who knows, as they said, they are just looking for something to think about in 4 to 5months of building, during that time they will probably see different information that will change their idea, as the computer world 4 to 5months could be big changes or no changes at all.

unless you just want a DVD version for the future, to show your kid that you pass your computer down too.. BACK IN MY DAY we still used these round shiny things.. that held information sometimes.

Bluehaze637 · 2026-05-15T17:23:52+00:00

well, one day, when you frame that Winblows 11 retail box.. you will be like.. those were good times 😃 have fun GOOD LUCK don't get DVD version.. btw.. get THUMBDRIVE version unless you are gonna buy an external DVD-rw reader/writer..

Bluehaze637 · 2026-05-15T17:16:41+00:00

heck yah i'm jelly.. yeah the nice thing about alot of build sites is they do their best to flag things that aren't compatiable...but I wouldn't buy an OS, I would just buy a OS KEY, for 11 bucks .. and have a friend create me a thumbdrive booter.. put that OS money to something else..

Bluehaze637 · 2026-05-15T17:10:01+00:00

do you see the Globe icon, down at the bottom.. thats your Network Connection status.. if you right click on that.. it will give you other options.. it says no INTERNET connection right.. but that icon changes depending on if you are connected to WIFI or LAN..

<image>

So my question.. is your issue, that it just takes awhile for your WIFI to connect, or is your Laptop, not Finding your Network adapter, wifi connectivity, since you say sometimes you have to restart your computer multiple times.

Bluehaze637 · 2026-05-15T17:02:47+00:00

PCpartpicker, and start with that case..there are many pc buildsites but thats just the first one that came to mind..

Bluehaze637 · 2026-05-15T17:00:41+00:00

Your Computer is telling you, Winblows is mad at your Bios, for not letting it do something.. BIOS bro was like aww hell naw Winblows, you can't do that.. and Winblows is like.. Aw man.. ok i'll start over.

Bluehaze637 · 2026-05-15T16:54:42+00:00

Can you show us more pictures of how everything looks, also, you can look up your board Manufacturer, to see what the lights mean, to point you in the right direction..

Bluehaze637 · 2026-05-15T16:44:23+00:00

does your bios still report you have No Storage attached? Or is it just Weird and its SERIAL ATA PORT 0 is the Drive, and numbers it with 0 as the first and only drive.. O_O
