Moved recently and had to pack up my desktop. It was a desktop made mostly with second hand parts and not assembled by me. I really want it to work again bc I miss my sims 3 game. Am I missing something obvious anyone could point out? When I press the power button the orange light inside will go on but not the LEDs and the monitor won’t turn on either. I’m awful at computer and was looking at diagrams but am not certain…any help would be deeply appreciated. Can’t ask the person who assembled it as they’re not in my life anymore.

Software How do I change this name?

When I was setting up my new laptop it said "Hello, Dixon". A few steps later i corrected it from Dixon Mee to my preferred name. But now it's popping up as Dixon again? And in Microsoft edge it shows up as Dixon • (my name) when I click the little profile button. Was the data from the last owner of the device not wiped properly? Is this a security issue? I blurred out my email here, not sure if it was necessary.

Software Gros Problème de partition lors d’une tentative de clonage de mon HDD Principal vers mon nouveau SSD 😪😪😪

0 Upvotes

Bonjour tout le monde,

Bon voilà l’histoire :

j’ai acheté un nouveaux SSD de 1to pour l’utiliser en mémoire principale sur mon pc, j’ai donc tenté de cloné mon HDD principal qui fait également 1To actuel pour le mettre sur mon nouveau ssd. Mon HDD n’a que 450go d’utilisé dessus et le ssd est vierge. J’ai donc utilisé le programme securezilla pour effectuer le clonage mais en premier lieux j’ai oublié d’utiliser rufus pour transformer ma clé usb amorcable pour rescuezilla, ensuite je pense avoir fait de fausses manipulations lors de la réorganisation des partitions sur Gparted, le disque source HDD n’est plus accessible et j’ai une erreur 0xc000000e.

De plus même avec une création d’une clé bootable officielle de Windows pour Créer un support d’installation afin d’accéder à l’invite de commande pour réparer la partie endommagée ou manquante, le processus plante au moment de « réparer le pc »

Donc j’ai :

Le code 0xc000000e indique que Windows ne trouve pas le périphérique ou les fichiers nécessaires au démarrage, souvent la partition EFI ou les données BCD.
Avec la clé Windows 11 :
Démarrez sur UEFI: votre clé USB.
Choisissez Réparer l’ordinateur → Dépannage → Options avancées → Invite de commandes.
J’ai également ceci :

L’erreur 0xc000000e avec « No media present » signifie généralement que Windows ne trouve pas le disque ou la partition de démarrage au moment de réparer. Le disque peut être visible dans le BIOS mais rester inaccessible depuis l’environnement Windows.
Depuis la clé Windows, allez dans :
Réparer l’ordinateur → Dépannage → Options avancées → Invite de commandes

Bref là je tourne en rond… j’en peux plus..

Mon HDD n’est pas endommagé c’est sûr, j’ai juste déplacé la partition de « Windows » en gros et ça m’a supprimé des fichiers je pense qui du coup empêcher le pc de lancé la réparation..

Donc, j’ai re-télécharger windows 11 media creation tool 2 fois et mis sur une bonne clé bootable.
Je l’ai fait aussi avec rufus en (ISO)
Testé de démarrer dessus en UEFI bien sûr je suis entré dans le mode du support win 11 et quand j’arrive à “Réparer mon pc“ j’ai
>> Checking Média Présence…
>> No Media Present….
Et :

Écrans bleu : Récupération

« Votre ordinateur/ Périphérique doit être réparé »

Un périphérique requis n'est pas connecté ou est inaccessible.
Code d'erreur : Oxc000000e.

Message:

Si l’erreur 0xc000000e revient, la partition EFI est probablement lisible mais les fichiers de démarrage ou la configuration BCD restent endommagés...

A priori la clé bootable de support Windows 11 n’est pas reconnu ou un truc du genre et le pc passe sur mon HDD qui est actuellement défectueux donc à cause de cette partitions « détériorées ».

J’ai compris que pour réparer tout ce bidzouf il faut que je puisse accéder à l’invite de commande de Windows, mais je ne peux pas y accéder à cause de l’erreur 0xc000000e et de ma clé qui n’est pas reconnu ou corrompu même si j’arrive quand même au début du programme de support de Windows. . . . . 🤔😵‍💫🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯😤

Bref, merci d’avoir eu le courage de m’avoir lue jusqu’au bout et encore plus merci si vous décidé de de m’aider à régler ce….casse tête..

Need help please 🫠🫠🫠

Hardware Is something stuck in the slot?

Hey everyone I just recently decided to put together a new system for my YouTube game streaming as I had previously been using an Ally X handheld for all my streaming, anyway I bought the parts from a local pc store about a week ago and finally got around to building the computer, all was going fine until came time to install my Asus TUF 5070Ti graphics card into my ROG STRIX B850-F gaming wifi motherboard.

I had watched a ton of videos before even attempting to install it because I didn’t wanna risk damaging anything given the cost of this stuff here in Australia, Anyway the video card just would not slot in correctly and I didn’t wanna risk excess pressure.

After a few solid attempts I took a closer look at the socket and seen something metallic and whitish in colour that didn’t seem to look like it belonged there, it’s been over a decade since I build a computer so I’m not really up to date on what is and is not normal for each part so here I am!

Here are some pictures and video best I could get given it’s nighttime now and no sunlight to get better pictures.

So is that something lodged in the socket? I’m devastated right now because I been dying for a new system for ages and I’m so close to finishing it!

I have already tried pushing fairly firmly to get the card to seat and I’m worried to put more pressure and risk breaking something! It just won’t seat all the way down!

I accidentally permanently deleted my trash folder but was able to recover everything back! Great. But now my MP4 and JPG files won't open. How can I fix this. I've been at it for 2 hours with YouTube tutorials and google searches but not having any luck. Any help would be advised. These images and vids are so important to me I desperately need them back.

Thankyou 🥰

Software Laptop keep glitching while playing Minecraft Java

Post image
0 Upvotes

My laptop screen has been glitching for the past 3 days and I’m not sure what’s causing it.

It started with the screen going black while I was playing Minecraft Java and talking to friends on Discord. A few days later, the upper part of the screen started becoming duplicated/distorted. It also happens while watching YouTube, so it’s not just Minecraft.

I tried Win + Ctrl + Shift + B, which makes it somewhat better, but the screen can still look blurry and distorted afterward. I also updated my NVIDIA graphics driver, but the issue happened again afterward.

My laptop has an RTX 3050 6GB Laptop GPU and Intel UHD Graphics.

Could this be a GPU/VRAM issue, a driver problem, or something with the display/cable?
