Finding the right computer
My mom isn’t one with technology, quite the opposite and when it comes to buying things she’ll stick to her preference of buying refurbished equipment; This in-turn will lead to her suffering slow speeds and such and she’s always saying she needs to always get a new one but doesn’t want to speed money to get a new one due to how expensive they can get and how many come with things she doesn’t need.
I come to Reddit in search of somebody knowing of any computers I could try and save up money towards so that I can try and ease her of everyday struggles on her old computer from the early 2000’s.
I’m not looking for anything over the top, just something that’s new and has enough in it to give her to get a smooth time.

memtest with exp/xmp or without them
Hi, I want to run a MemTest on my RAM. I've always done it with XMP/EXPO profiles enabled, and I haven't had any problems, but I'm wondering if it's better to run it without those profiles?

What site to buy a computer from?
Good morning!
My son has saved up the money to buy a gaming computer. We know the parts, and we've tried to get an order with MetaPC but there have been issues with the billing and shipping. Before I get this process started, I know nothing of the places online that sell gaming computers. His budget is \~$2000. What are some reputable websites that we can buy from?

I am Stumped
I have an HP Prodesk 400 G1 SFF at home used for office work. A few months ago, I added a new SSD, an additional 4GB of RAM totaling to 8GB and a new CMOS battery. After those additions, it works perfectly for office work fast and responsive. Now it no longer POST and no longer outputs any video, all it does is turn on and spin the cpu cooler fan and PSU fan at max speed. I first tried a CMOS reset but to no avail. Then I swapped the RAM sticks with a known working one and slotted it in DIMM 1 but that didn't help either. After that I tried the known working RAM in DIMM 3 but that also didn't do anything. I then took everything off, SSD, I/O cables SATA cables and leave the Mobo, PSU, CPU and RAM but that didn't make it past POST either. Later I tried running the PC without any memory and it didn't display anything but it gave me a memory error code which i think was a good sign. I tried swapping the PSU with another known working PSU from another HP Prodesk 400 G1 SFF but that also resulted in no display and the fans running at full power. I've tried reseating the CPU itself and verified if there're any bent pins but all is good. Now I'm thinking it's a corruped BIOS perhaps. Either way, I'm stumped. I hope the good people in this subreddit can help me out troubleshooting this system. Let me know if there's any other information you need me to disclose.

Computer just shuts off randomly?
I was just playing Far Cry 3 when suddenly my Screen went black and my Graphics Card Fans started blowing really loud. From then on i can only turn it all of by the Power Button. This happens regularly. I manually jacked up the Fan speed, thinking that this was an issue with the graphic card's temperature, but it doesn't seem to help. What do i do?

shift stops my movement in games
hi everyone. recently i bought a new pc and i met a problem: sometimes when i press shift in games it stops/cancel my WASD keys completely even though i still hold them. the problem is totally not in the game (cause i have this problem in every game where i need to press both shift and WASD) and not in the computer cause i remember that about 4 years ago i was playing on my old laptop and when i was trying to fly on raze satchels in valorant i had the same problem. the only thing i remember that i managed to fix it somehow but now i have no idea. also just in case i tried to turn off discord, steam and overwolf overlays and it didnt help. i guess that the reason of the problem are maybe some different applications
https://reddit.com/link/1tcvrmg/video/fg62gmqbc31h1/player
in this example i was punching the air everytime i noticed this problem just to show it someway idk. anyway i really pray that someone can help to fix it and id be really grateful
