Please Help

HP ZBook 17 G3: Caps Lock button blinking 5 times and black screen

Mon, 24 Jul 2023 03:45:48 -0700

The caps lock buttons blinks 5 times and does not boot. While the caps lock button is blinking the fans are very load and the screen stays black.

Note: the laptop does boot sometimes, if I don't try to power it on for maybe an hour it will boot. When it boots after maybe two minutes I get a blue screen: DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION. I also can get into BIOS.

I await your responses, I will clarify whatever questions you may have, friends.

Dell XPS 15 9570: Laptop not turning back on unless plugged in

Fri, 01 Jul 2022 14:14:24 -0700

I recently replaced the battery in my 9570, using the kit and battery from IFIXIT, along with a new RAM kit from Crucial. Since the replacement, when the laptop goes into hibernation mode, after being left alone, it won’t turn back on unless plugged in. The LED battery indicator light won’t even turn on when this happens. Sometimes the Dell screen will flash, then turn back off.

Once its back on, it can be unplugged and it behaves normally.

Acer Nitro 5 AN515-53-55G9: The games on my laptop are very slow.

Wed, 19 Jan 2022 16:23:19 -0700

I have a RTX 2060 with 16gb RAM and an I5-9300H and the games don’t feel good at all to play. I tried FIFA21 and I have a strange lag. It looks like I only have about 20fps. Then, I tried Fortnite and Warzone, which went really bad. I do not understand which is the probem. I found a video on YT and on the same platform, the same games were looking very, very good. I have also changed the nvidia settings to high performance and all that stuff but still as before. Is there somebody who can help me with this problem? Thank you in advance.
