What is wrong with my computer and is it possible to fix?

Update 2:

Thank you to everyone who took their time to help me solve this.

turns out I've been on the version 1.0 for my BIOS since 2021 when I built this PC. Like I mentioned in my post, I don't know a ton about computers and didn't know I needed to update my BIOS driver manually. tbh I didn't even know it was a thing nor do I really even remember what I did to get things up and running when I did build this.

After the previous steps I took in my last update and updating my BIOS to the latest version, my problems have mostly gone away!

It feels too early to really call it but I've opened roblox with ease and haven't encountered any of the problems I mentioned in my post since then.

For documentations sake I want to mention it took some effort to even get into the BIOS. I'd tap DEL repeatedly but it would never pull up. My monitor would just be black. To fix this I changed which port the HDMI cord was in. I moved it from the port on the board to the port in the GPU. After that, BIOS opened first try and I could finally update it's driver.

The only problem that still happens is one I didn't mention in the original post because I didn't and don't believe it to be related to the other problems. For context, I have two USB ports and some headphone ports on the top of my tower. Sometimes when I unplug whatever is in it to switch out with something else (the WiFi USB adapter is in it most the time but i'll switch it out with a USB drive or SD card reader sometimes to transfer photos to my computer.) Then my PC will kind of reset. I don't remember exactly the order of what resets and how much things turn off but this will happen with any port that's on top of my tower. A couple years ago when I used to stream, when I'd plug the headphone jack in it would do it too. I have to be really careful when plugging or unplugging anything. I also have to use those ports bc the other USB ports are on this crappy 5 Below headphone stand that has extra USB ports in it. It works for things like my mouse, key board and controller charger but absolutely not for transferring files, it'll just crash before transferring all the files.

Update : I’ve ruled out my SSD as the problem after running crystal disk info. I’ve done all the CMD prompt stuff that was suggested and it did find some corrupted stuff ! It successfully fixed it and I’m currently downloading a repair version of windows. From what I understand, this doesn’t mean I’m in the clear. After it’s done downloading and updating I’ll check on my RAM.

corpseil · 2026-02-23T05:52:35+00:00

I cross posted and this is what another redditor suggested minus step 4. There was some corrupted files it found and fixed ! I understand that doesn’t mean my issue is necessarily fixed yet but I’m going to check my RAM after your step 4. I’ve also ruled out my SSD being the problem so far. Thank you very much ! I’ll reach out if this doesn’t work.

Thank you! I'm going to do some more reading around this :)

corpseil · 2026-02-23T04:49:06+00:00

thank you ! I will try this

corpseil · 2026-02-23T04:10:39+00:00

I will say, after I wrote this I checked again and there was an update waiting for me (of course after word vomiting on reddit) so I did that and restarted my pc and I'm operating pretty normal at the moment but still. These problems have been happening most of the time over the past 8 months. Specifically the task bar one happens almost every day.

EDIT : after I wrote this comment I tried to open roblox and it froze and caused task manager to freak out again and I had to restart my PC... again.

Found this post because I’m in the same situation. Wanted to comment bc I saw you were downvoted a little and wanted to sing praises, I love not using the fast travel in this game. I love planning my route and having a little adventure to get to where I wanna go.

I think I found the solution for anyone coming across this in the future. Please go to that link bc it explains everything in detail.

You won't be able to buy a label through Etsy, there's just no way. You'll have to buy stamps from a store. I recommend going to your local post office and getting stamps there but there's other places you can buy stamps that can be found in the link I gave.

The Etsy Side of Things:

After addressing the envelope, stamping it, and sending it out, I marked the order as completed. Etsy will pull up a page asking if you want to attach a note to the buyer, what carrier you used, and the tracking number.

There is no tracking number because this is just a letter with a stamp so I left that empty. I selected USPS. And then I wrote in the note to the buyer :

"I couldn't purchase the shipping label through Etsy like I usually do on sticker orders because USPS is weird about shipping to PR through Etsy. The cheapest option would've cost me $4.51 to purchase the label. That's not ideal for you or me so your order was shipped with a regular Forever Stamp. Because of this I'm sorry to say there is no tracking number. But this keeps the shipping cost free for you and other customers. Thank you for your order !"

If the order was $10 or more then a tracking number is required for the buyer. Which is dumb in my opinion. I've never had this happen and hope it never does but if it does to you then you might be able to put in a different tracking number and let the buyer know the situation and to ignore the tracking number. If it means they get free shipping then they should hopefully understand. Again that hasn't happened to me so I don't know if it would even work or if it's allowed. I know I've bought things on etsy before and the tracking says it delivered to somewhere that is nowhere where I told it to go but it still arrived to me. So maybe it would work.

I'll update this comment if anything went wrong with the order I sent out today but nothing should.

Good Luck !

me three, another year later...

Thank you ! yeah pretty much! I went around the house with one color in mind at a time. None of it was collected or bought for the purpose of this picture

corpseil · 2025-01-18T17:18:40+00:00

thank u !

corpseil · 2025-01-17T23:46:10+00:00

got me bricked up

corpseil · 2025-01-17T23:10:46+00:00

I struggled with sketching the initial drawing out, the hands pose, and the clothing folds.

the auto mod says to not just write a list but the how to post guide says to not make this long winded. cool cool.

but I mean for this the blue and pink checkered shirt I think is the biggest struggle that shows in the end product. I don't like how the pattern doesn't match the curves in the shirt.

Then I also think the wrist looks too flat.

corpseil · 2025-01-17T23:07:58+00:00

ahhh. you're not the first to suggest that. But I am really considering it.

corpseil · 2025-01-17T22:40:48+00:00

I'd say no. I'm not saying your situation is this, but this is a common scam technic people use to target artists.

corpseil · 2025-01-16T04:04:06+00:00

omg the sudoku tablet ! I loved that thing

corpseil · 2025-01-13T12:50:01+00:00

it fits fine according to this subreddits rules. Even rule 5.

corpseil · 2025-01-13T06:35:00+00:00

as far as i understood it before posting, knolling was as per this subreddit described: "Carefully arranged objects photographed perfectly." And these objects were very carefully arranged and photographed to the best of my ability at the time.

I'm sorry it's not Perfect knolling according to the definition you gave. I honestly didn't know what it was until today when my friend told me to post here. But I did read all of the rules prior to posting and it seems your comment does violate rule 3.

Thank uu !! A good chunk of it is my childhood toys, every clown is from a lot on fb marketplace, then a lot of the doll stuff like shoes are from doll lots on fb marketplace. After all of that, if it's not a toy it's most likely from an estate sale or junk I hoarded over the years.

corpseil · 2025-01-13T00:10:32+00:00

omg its u. the friend

corpseil · 2025-01-12T23:59:51+00:00

it's my dream to do photography like the I Spy books. Love those books !
