PC boot failure with flashing power button and blue screen crashes

​

Recently I have been unable to launch my PC 3/4 times. I press the power button and it rapidly blinks for about ten seconds, before slowly blinking once every two seconds. There is no display on my screen and the LED of my keyboard/mouse do not light up as usual.

I have tried:

\- RAM including changing slots, booting with one stick at a time

\- Reseating GPU

\- Cleaning inside of case

After I managed to get it to launch, it worked fine for a day or two, but then I have had several blue screen crashes with the error message 'your device ran into a problem and needs to restart' with 'kernel security check failure.' These crashes came after my display became distorted while watching a Youtube video. I now cannot even launch my PC and am back to the first step, so software diagnostics are out of the question.

Any advice is appreciated.

Massive 8ish TB music collection on 2 5TB external HDDs. Should I get an SSD to replace them? Daily use at home, no travel.

Recommendations? I've been using the two drives since roughly 2019 or 2020 and I know they are on the way out and I need to rectify this issue immediately.

My budget would be no more than 200ish dollars maybe a bit more that I could do with a payment plan.

99% of the time they sit at home on my desk 24/7 plugged into my laptop through which I do everything.

They are almost entirely loaded with only audio files or video files, But mostly audio.

I'm a live music collector with a giant collection I've been doing since about 2008 because I'm autistic and have nothing there to do with my life lol

I'm honestly kind of shocked that these two drives are still going because I've had them fail on me in months before

Currently I use two Western Digital MyBook drives.

Should I just get two more of these? Should I upgrade to an SSD?

I use these drives daily playing music and moving files around on them. These are very very active use drives.

Thanks guys!

What computer should I get for college

One of my biggest concerns right now is what computer I should get for college, or at least what I should be looking for. I plan to go for creative writing as my major, but I would also like to do some gaming in my free time. Does anyone have any recommendations? Should I bring my PC for gaming and have another computer for work? I don’t know if this bit of info affects anything, but the college I plan to go to is two hours away from my home.

Help find drivers Wireless

So i got a Wifi6 802.11ax USB Adapter but I'm using it in linux so the drivers that are inside the USB Adapter won't work (it's an exe, it won't work with wine either) so I'm looking for a manual download option for them that can work for me

WiFi not working

Hi all. Looking for some help here with my WiFi on my PC. I have windows 11 and when connecting to the WiFi I am able to get a connection but no internet, it just says “No internet, secured”. The issue is I have my phone connected to the same network and it is working just fine, as well as the other 2 members in the house also on the network. I tried restarting the modem and the PC of course. Made sure all drivers were up to date, really don’t know where to go from here. There was an automatic windows update last night so I’m wondering if that has something to do with it. I never have any issues with my internet it is usually very good and I was running games just fine last night 😫 Thanks in advance for the help!

No idea what to do with old workstation pc.

Hi everyone.

A few years back around 2023 I bought a thinkstation p320 as a computer to mess around with.

I have barely used it outside of 1 instance when my other pc broke.
I put the ram, cpu and storage in it as it came without them.

A few weeks I was messing around in the bios to try and fix the fans being unnecessary loud. I switched the fan option to be to “quiet mode” and that’s where the problem escalated.

Now the pc only outputs a signal if it boots into the operating system. The bios or boot menu show a black screen/nothing but they definitely can be accessed and used just can’t see.

I was thinking of repurposing the computer as a gaming machine. But motherboard replacements seem to be more than I paid for the machine.

It does turn on but beeps due to no ram. It has been sitting around for a while unused. I do have a 650 watt bequiet psu I could use for turning it into a decent machine the only thing is the board is limited to quad core processors and has a proprietary 250 watt psu.

Any advice is welcome, thank you

Edit: corrected proprietary psu wattage 300 to 250

What to buy? Explain it like I'm 5.

I want a PC. I want to eventually game on it but I just want something good quality that's not wildly expensive. I also know nothing about PCs. So explain it like I'm 5.

Suggestions?

Edit to add: budget would hopefully be around US$1500-2000

Tips for what computer / software to use to dictate a memoir for someone who has difficulty typing?

Any suggestions for speech to text software that links to a word document and is easy to edit the words? Must be user friendly.

Background: I want my mom to write a memoir in her voice but she needs to dictate it because she has difficulty typing. She also is not very good with technology, so she needs something user friendly. She has a Mac, but apparently Dragon Dictation is only compatible with windows? I’m not above getting a windows laptop because I could finally get a gaming laptop…
