I have a Dell that does this. In the BIOS there is an option for what to do on power loss, as in if the power cord is pulled either intentionally or not, then it can either fully boot or not. In eithe …

That just sounds like normal fan noise to me. It's regular, not too loud and just sounds a lot like a fan under PWM control. For normal noises you can expect of a fan that is working there's this vide …

If you are using the left most bit to indicate sign then you cannot use the whole 3-bit number. 100 is either (positive, unsigned) 4 or it is in fact (negative) 0. For your number to be "-4" then it …

Absolutely yes. Memory errors can result in code changes making execution streams pass invalid instructions, data or branch to random areas. Hardware faults can return garbage or invalid results, maki …

Given that the Wifi is actually detected chances are the card itself is fine, but as Wifi is almost working probably the wireless antenna cable has been knocked loose. Your laptop manufacturer shoul …

Yes. Coil whine is caused primarily by a section of circuitry that involves relatively large inductors and capacitors. The frequency of the noise, and as a result whether or not you can hear it, depe …

As 10 amps is higher that 7 amps then yes, you will be fine. The 10A is the "safe" current carrying capacity of the wires, i.e. they can carry 10A without overheating or causing a potential problem. …

As stated a single bit memory error can cause almost anything to go wrong, or you may never notice it at all. I had a bad memory stick before and the bad point in RAM effectively meant that Windows …

There are many different beeps and noises that a hard drive can make. Some are downright weird. Some of them are created by the motor trying (and failing) to get the drive spinning. Some are create …

Just because the PSU is 900W does not rule out one of the 12v lines burning out. You've pretty much established that the rest of the system is fine with a low power card and the likelihood of a new c …

Your assumptions are wrong. The drive has a fixed physical format that is made up of physical sectors, in your case totalling 3TB. By formatting the drive you are effectively clearing the data in th …

You probably have a leak or fracture in the liquid crystal layer of your monitor causing it to loose fine control of the light blocking ability of the liquid crystals. Your display has many layers. O …

Your testing points very strongly towards a damaged CPU core. Not the entire processor or even motherboard, a specific core. Either it has an address or data bus fault and it simply cannot properly ac …

Your problem (as with most machine learning problems) is probably to do with memory bandwidth. Machine learning isn't particularly CPU calculation intensive, they do a lot of "easy" calculations, but …

The SMART status shows a lot of old or dying indicators, but nothing particularly screams " this killed it!". Your log shows a power on lifetime of 995 days and 10 hours, suggesting that you leave yo …
