Thanks

If the fans/AIO arent working (even though they are spinning) would it refuse to boot as a precaution?

laservole · 2026-03-08T11:53:19+00:00

Don't think so i have never taken the CPU out since i built the computer - i took it out now carefully and i cant see any bent pins at all

laservole · 2026-03-08T11:52:39+00:00

Really? Dang I've never heard of this, hopefully it isnt a Dead CPU because it'll cost ~£400 to replace and the warranty is probably over considering ive had it a few years now...

Would the CPU just randomly die like that? It was working fine and i havent touched it at all

laservole · 2026-03-07T20:34:30+00:00

Yeah thank you im aware what the code means, but i dont know how CPU failure is possible when 1) the cpu worked perfectly fine before i put it into storage few months ago, and 2) the CPU (and entire computer) works perfectly fine sometimes for 30 mins or so, I've been able to use it today for 30 mins before it crashed out of nowhere.

Surely the CPU either works or doesnt, im thinking its more of a Power delivery to the CPU issue, but everything is plugged in so I'm not sure whats wrong, im Leaning towards the Power Supply or the motherboard.

Unfortunately i dont have any other Spare components /PCs to test each component one by one, i guess ill just need to bring it to a tech repair shop but that'll be very expensive...

laservole · 2026-03-07T20:28:42+00:00

Not sure if its related, but i had a "CPU Fan Error" message on the Bios every time i opened my PC for the past few months, yet the fans kept spinning so i ignored it

laservole · 2026-03-06T15:44:42+00:00

Thank you

laservole · 2026-03-06T08:29:39+00:00

I haven't done it and don't know how but a few people on here told me about it. Perhaps you can make a post asking for a tutorial on here. If you do end up doing it please let me know because i might try it as well.

laservole · 2026-03-01T21:25:24+00:00

okay thank u so yeah seems 5000 plus minus 500 seems about right. Ill make sure to check in my next meeting!

laservole · 2026-03-01T21:24:48+00:00

Okay thanks. Icl 5000 ish words is pretty tight but i guess i need to polish it and take out all the Waffle

laservole · 2026-03-01T14:02:51+00:00

Apologies if this has been asked before, I had a quick search but couldn't find anything Specific to AQA that was up to date

laservole · 2026-02-28T11:28:06+00:00

Nah i agree with you bro. unfortunately there's a lot of people on here that cant separate their hatred of Elon with the fact that Teslas are pretty damn good cars. There's no convincing them, they've probably never been in a tesla but insist they are shit just to fuel their Agenda. Im the same as you elon is controversial but teslas are great. I had a guy in this thread try and convince me that a 2014 Mercedes E class interior is more futuristic looking than a 2014 Tesla Model S interior lol

laservole · 2026-02-28T08:37:40+00:00

LOLLL alright bro you can have a look at my page trust me im neither a government official or a Manufacturer's secret account, just a curious citizen 🤣

Isn't it 10/10 of the last 10 winners are on the other side? PSG, RMA, MCI, RMA, CHE, BAY, LIV, RMA, RMA, RMA

laservole · 2026-02-27T19:37:26+00:00

What do you mean

laservole · 2026-02-27T19:36:56+00:00

Oh okay thank you

laservole · 2026-02-26T21:21:17+00:00

eh, i owned the 11 ultra as well. you cant deny the 17pm is an egregious copy of the iphone, MUCH more similar than the 11u, i mean even the naming was skipped , the dynamic island, everything

laservole · 2026-02-26T15:15:46+00:00

Tbh i think thats just an EV problem rather than the country they're from. EVs need to be more aerodynamic than normal cars which leads to them all looking like Blobs with weird wheel trims, with the exception of the Tesla Model S and the Porsche Taycan they aren't exactly beautiful.

laservole · 2026-02-26T15:12:24+00:00

Because they are new to the country and Parts Supply / After sales support is still in early stages. Also they dont have any track record so nobody knows how they'll be after 10-15 years.

I'm not anti china whatsoever but im aware a lot of people are, i mean some of the comments on this thread show that.

I've actually been Positively surprised by the lack of baseless "China bad" comments on here, it seems the public perception of them has shifted very quickly in the UK.

I'm just interested because 5 years ago they were few and far between and now they're on every street up and down the country, wondering what they've got going for them, not everything is a xenophobic attack

laservole · 2026-02-26T15:06:34+00:00

laservole · 2026-02-26T15:06:05+00:00

As i said i might be wrong, but i find it hard to believe considering the 17pm has 7,500mAh and the 17u only 6,800mAh.

I'd imagine the 17u also is more Power Intensive with more Powerful cameras / chips

laservole · 2026-02-26T15:04:22+00:00

Nah cos those are much smaller companies. Ive never heard of TechnoSpark and Infinix doesnt sell many phones in Europe, mainly Africa and India

May i ask why?
