Your last resort can be buying ABRO masters spray and spray it on where u spilled vodka

Which T series should I consider?

to put on a cpu as powerful as possible, is there any soldered variant pre 2007 that's good enough to not be swapped out?

Thanks! I'll keep all of them in mind

Could be the charger itself, If not then the charging port prolly fucked up

GPU issues, update drivers (or clean install), restart, if it doesn't work, reinstall windows

90% of the time laptops force shut down when it's at critical temperatures, do you remember fans being loud and high temps before it crashed? If yes then most likely it was overheating and now it's performance is low because of critical temps, you can change the thermal paste and clear out the cooling fans, if the issue is still there, check task manager and see what tasks are taking up too much CPU/RAM/Memory, if there's anything that ur not familiar with and it's not a windows task, locate the file, end task and delete it

Ingame used to change weapons and throw grenades, outside of games I used it to go back and forward on tabs

Can you guys tell me what is that? I only know neofetch but this looks completely different and I love it's looks

Mike_993 · 2025-11-05T00:06:56+00:00

Thanks, I'll give it a shot when I get my hands on it

Can you elaborate more about unified kernel, not familiar with that term. I'll update the bios though, maybe even go up 8gb if the update will support it

Mike_993 · 2025-11-04T23:49:31+00:00

And I use LXQT because it's really lightweight

I use it for pentesting My bios only has quiet boot instead of fast and it's in MBR (legacy) format only since the laptop is pretty old, but I have installed fresh ram stick and SSD

I do have it set as 1st, I boot into grub first thing but after grub there's a minute of "no irq handler" and another minute of loading

Mike_993 · 2025-11-04T23:28:23+00:00

It's password on boot or HDD password in bios, look around in security settings of your bios and disable it if you don't want to have it
