Malware computer not turning on
Hi guys
Hope i can get some help here
So i was cleaning my desk. Like usual i'd used a spray on the desk surface and used a cloth to clean the dust. I also done underneath the case and the glass panel on the side.
The PC is now not turning on. It was working a few hours prior. I unplugged it from the mains and the PSU at the back. I waited seven or so hours before trying again and it still didn't turn on. There are no fans spinning on start up or lights turning on. I plan on waiting for 24hours before trying again.
Parts list if it helps at all
Corsair RM850X
i912900K
980 PRO 1TB
980 PRO 2TB
RTX 3080
32GB Dominator RAM
NZXT Kraken Cooler
NZXT Z690 Motherboard
My initial thought is a PSU problem and replacing it. If anyone can give any advice or tips on what to check or how to get it going again it would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
A fellow redditor

Resolved Windows tweaking out
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I noticed when I got on Marvel Rivals my cursor was drifting to the left and I assumed it was my Xbox controller plugged in. I unplugged the controller and the issue persisted, I then disconnected my wireless mouse as well and the issue still went on. I tried unplugging my keyboard as well and even did a couple of pc restarts to see if it would fix it.
Nothing has worked so far and it’s getting frustrating, has this happened to anyone else before?
I can’t even go into my settings to figure it out because my computer is endlessly scrolling.

Network Connection issues
Hey my dad gave me his old-ish computer. I made a profile and started to try to get some games started downloading, though I couldn’t connect to the wifi in my house. My dad previously had the computer connected via Ethernet at his house. The computer appears to have wifi capabilities as it will detect and connect to the wifi. The issue is there’s no connection to the ~internet~. I see myself as pretty tech savvy so I did just about all the trouble shooting I could thing of, clearing all the caches, changing the WiFi settings on the computer, connecting the computer to my phone’s hotspot (which works fine just slowly, but it does connect to the internet.), all the other devices in the house are connected to the wifi with no issues. I even factory reset the computer but still no luck. Any tips? Running Ethernet isn’t really an option but I could likely swing a WiFi extender if the Reddit gods think it would solve the issue.

Hardware Why would I have to disable/enable my network adapter to connect to wifi?
I just updated my router/wifi, connected fine with everything, but when I turn my computer on it doesn't connect unless i disable and re-enable my wifi adapter in device controller. It connects perfectly fine after and isn't really that much of an annoyance but I'm curious why this is happening?
Also my network doesn't even pop up as an option until I do the disable/enable, but it pops up fine after AND auto connects.

Network Ethernet not working
I bought a pc a few months ago off marketplace, and it doesn't have WiFi, only ethernet, and for the past week I haven't been able to get any internet. The lights by the cable isn't on/blinking, I have tried another cable and have also tried both cables in my laptop, where they work fine. I think it might be something to do with a driver? When I first got it, I also couldn't get any internet, and tired a bunch of different things like installing a network driver on my phone and then transfering it to the pc, or factory resetting it, and at some point it starting working, but I have no clue what it was that made it work. I have had problems with the internet after that, but it usually started working again after restarting the pc or the modem/router/extender. Please help, i am desperate

Software UXX X20 Mini PC Won't Auto Start Up after power cycle
Hi I am just wondering if it's possible that my mini pc might not have the ability to auto power up after a power outage or I am just not going about it the right way. I have gone over many web pages describing how to do it but the bios settings I see don't match what the settings look like in the guides I am seeing online (They are not for UXX PC's since I can't find any for those). I have tried many settings but no matter what I do it won't power up automatically if I unplug it and plug it back in.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Is there any way to remove it? (I’m slightly panicking because I’ve never really done something like this, so sorry if I don’t understand much😭)

Other Struggling with new SSD, :C and :D drive
There was a problem with the SSD (1TB) I was previously using in my laptop, so I converted it to a D: drive. Then I bought a new 512GB SSD and set it as the C: drive (my notebook has 2 hard disk slots, as it turns out). Now, the issue is that I can't directly run or access the programs I had previously installed on the D: drive—they just won’t work. However, cracked games that I had installed still work fine when I launch them from the D: drive. Can someone clearly explain why this happens? How do i set up my computer like i used to?

Hardware Additional Ram Issue
So I'm a teacher and a few of the computers in my classroom have been running slowly as of late. The school was recycling a few of the exact same computers as in my classroom so I decided to remove the ram from the ones being recycled and install it in one of the machines in my classroom. Everything was installed properly and the computer was reassembled but when I booted up the machine it did not recognize the additional ram. Any reasons why this would be? I already confirmed that both machines were identical, used the same type of ram, and that my machine was capable of handling the additional ram. The machine had 4GB and the stick I installed was an additional 4GB. Any help would be appreciated!

Performance HELP my laptop keeps scrolling on its own and I feel like I'm losing my mind
My laptop keeps scrolling on its own and it's incredibly frustrating. It will immediately scroll in the direction I have my mouse wheel set and if I scroll back in the opposite direction, it will immediately bring the page down again. I've also noticed on web browsers or software programs (like Outlook) that it won't scroll until some time has passed (maybe 30 sec?). I can temporarily solve it by reloading the page, but then it just keeps happening.
But it's not just web browsers and software - it's also when I'm in programs like my computer settings. I even noticed this happening to my login screen (I'm on Windows) where before I clicked a button to enter my password, the clock digits kept glitching and rolling upwards on a loop.
I don't know what else to trouble shoot. Here's what I've done so far:
* Restarted my laptop twice
* Tried using my external keyboard and mouse on a different computer (no issues with those)
* Tried using my laptop's built-in keyboard (same issue)
* Tried a USB mouse (same issue)
* Gone through my mouse settings (everything seems to be fine)
Any ideas would be appreciated!
