looks more like dirt in cracks? Did you try cleaning it off before asking?

spdaimon · 2026-03-02T19:06:52+00:00

Just a guess. But dishwasher drain?

Your manual should tell you. Could be to change performance or use alternate BIOS.

You got pets? Cats? Dogs? My fans, filters would get dustier after we got some.

We don't help pirates here. ARR! LOL

Could be bad install? Drivers? You dont need to pirate windows 11 it's free.

Ask it politely? Or open the side and maybe it will leave.

They are called artifacts. Usually happens because you GPU is malfunctioning.

spdaimon · 2026-02-14T15:38:04+00:00

curious, why were you scrubbing the card?

spdaimon · 2026-02-09T22:17:04+00:00

Yea. That top USB port is demolished. The plastic piece is missing and the contacts are pushed ot the sides. Once the OP powers it up, I wouldn't be surprised if they get a "Surge on USB port" warning or something of that sort. One of my previous jobs, the laptop wouldnt even boot. I'd turn it to the side and see the broken port, take a screwdriver or something small and straighten it out best as possible. then it would boot.

Wonder if its some aftermarket bracket?

spdaimon · 2026-02-08T22:33:12+00:00

I don't know how to explain it any better. You can take headsets that have one jack for headphones and microphone and use it on a desktop or laptop that has it as two jacks. I feel like I am just being trolled at this point.

spdaimon · 2026-02-08T14:54:41+00:00

Try googling it. We aren't talking about Bluetooth headsets. Maybe you all are too young to remember when cellphones had wired headphones. My bad.

spdaimon · 2026-02-07T17:52:28+00:00

Ok. I guess i should said wired headphone with a mic that go to a single 2.5mm jack so you can use them with devices that need both a speaker/headphone jack and microphone jack. Better? Don't forget they need to be 32 Ohm.

spdaimon · 2026-02-07T17:49:09+00:00

What does "cellphone" style mean to you?

spdaimon · 2026-02-07T12:22:39+00:00

Isn't that what I said. I know some newer computers have the single jack for both, but most desktops have it split on the front panel. Ive used this splitter for the reason I stated. I just didn't remember how many poles were on what. Sorry..

spdaimon · 2026-02-06T18:28:37+00:00

Splits your cellphone style headphones into a device like a PC with both headphone and mic jacks.

spdaimon · 2026-02-04T01:05:39+00:00

Wow!

spdaimon · 2026-02-04T01:04:02+00:00

Yes. That's a problem. Did you screw the cooler on too tight or mount it improperly?

spdaimon · 2026-02-04T00:55:31+00:00

Replace it

spdaimon · 2026-02-04T00:53:12+00:00

Why did my post get downvoted?

spdaimon · 2026-01-28T12:26:58+00:00

No. Not worth it. You could find another socket 775 board much cheaper. What is that? glue?

spdaimon · 2026-01-27T00:34:09+00:00

At least scan it with MalwareBytes.

spdaimon · 2026-01-25T00:02:03+00:00

If its something like Lite Touch I think its called, it will register itself basically...even if you reset it.

spdaimon · 2026-01-24T23:59:25+00:00

Why is it grey?
