    Power supply adapter question

    ha yes. But the dedicated ROG ones are more expensive. I know I "shouldn't" but I want to get one of the cheaper generic ones, as long as it does the same job. Would the figures I wrote in the OP work ? What should we look at in this case: the 100-240V and 50-60Hz parts or the 3.2A ?

    Power supply adapter question

    Hey forum. The power adapter of my laptop gives me electricity current when I touch the tip of the jack that connects to the laptop. I bought my laptop refurbished years ago and the power was always the issue, as the laptop had really bad battery life, and it's now nonexistent: unplug the power...

    thx for that. I followed the steps in the BIOS. Still the same Blue screen after another Windows install. It's an m.2 drive inside, yes.

    sure sorry. It's an ASUS ROG Strix SCAR II Gaming Laptop GL504GM. BIOS version : 311 Screen appears after power on. ASUS 'Republic of Gamers' logo appears and right after that. Windows 11 has already been installed, but I can't access it because of this blue screen that demands a repair of some...

    Windows 11 Opening Explorer on Maximize by default, at all times

    I may be confusing terms. By Maximize I mean I want Explorer to appear on the full page, not just as a half page window. If I click Explorer on the task bar, it always opens as a half-screen window and I always have to double click its title bar to make it big again, and I have to do this every...

    Windows 11 Opening Explorer on Maximize by default, at all times

    Hi. I've already done the operation of right clicking Explorer, then File Explorer, then Properties, then run as 'Maximized': But my Explorer still always opens Minimized. I can't seem to make it Maximized. It's driving me nuts ! Help please, can't find it online.

    Buzzing/humming sound, like there's a magnetic charge/electrical tension in the PC

    I bought a desktop PC a few months ago. Every once in a while, it would just restart. No blue screen, just, restarts. So there's a permanent tiny little buzzing sound - coming from the PC hardware itself (not the speakers) - like a very faint "eeeeeeeee...eeeeee...eeee..eeeeeeee...". It's there...

    Can't find a way to get those fans to CHILL

    I mean that area heats up in a hurry. Immediately after startup, super hot. But I just can't get the fans to chill. I opened it up again today, cleaned up again, the fans are fine. No dust and I couldn't find any small wire or anything in its way that would make it vibrate. It's just the fans...

    Can't find a way to get those fans to CHILL

    Tried the update. Can't get the BIOS on my computer, that I see on YouTube tutorials for Asus PC's where there's the Fan control. Mine is just plain.

    Can't find a way to get those fans to CHILL

    Hi. I've got this ASUS laptop that has been going crazy with the fans over the past few months. I tried: - Armoury Crate and ROG Gaming Center for fan control. Doesn't work. The changes won't affect the fans or won't be saved after clicking 'Apply'. - Fan Control, the free opensource software...

    How powerful is the i9-12900H ?

    hey forum. I'm thinking of buying one of these mini PC's that come fully loaded with the good specs. I want an i9 just because it would be an upgrade from my current i7 laptop of many years, so, curious to see how much more powerful it feels. I've read a processor which name ends in 'H' isn't...

    Windows keeps giving me the Last Modified Date instead of Creation Date

    I reckon that's what it is, yes. Other files on my hard drive don't do that now that I've checked explicitly. You're right. Wow, that sucks lol ! It would be nice to know because with mixing music you spend months upon months mixing that one song so it would be nice to keep track of when one...

    Windows keeps giving me the Last Modified Date instead of Creation Date

    Not stupid at all, in fact you may be right on the money. I'm guessing this is what happens with that program then. It's a music making software, and I open the session and work on it every day or so. I'm guessing every time I save, it does the equivalent technically of a 'Save As', although...

    Windows keeps giving me the Last Modified Date instead of Creation Date

    Oh but it doesn't do that. That's the whole issue. It says "Creation Date" but really shows me the Last Modified date. So for this one file I created like in March, it's telling me Creation Date: today. On the general tab on Properties, and then again in the Details tab.

    Windows keeps giving me the Last Modified Date instead of Creation Date

    Hey guys. So Windows has been bullshooting me with the Creation Date. For a file I created months ago, I'll look everywhere for the Creation Date (I'll go in Details, or I'll add the 'Creation Date' Column in Explorer...) and it always gives me the Last Modified Date instead. How do I get to...

    Firefox behaves weirdly: cookies, cache ?

    yes. Most of the symptoms will follow on Chrome as well as Firefox. The other day I wanted to register on this sports forum, and after filling up the info form entirely and triple checking each inch of it, I click 'Register' and the page just got stuck there on Ffox, so I did the same with...

    Firefox behaves weirdly: cookies, cache ?

    Now John, what are you suggesting there ? :p My main problem is Facebook not showing the thumbnail. I tried everything, Cache Cookies reset, restarting the computer, different Facebook accounts, Facebook and Chrome, the link "debugging" website for Facebook, checking if my Firefox was up to...
