How safe are refurbished computers these days?

I have noticed a lot of refurbished desktops and laptops being sold online at very low prices.

Are they generally reliable or is it better to avoid them unless you really know the seller? I am curious what peoples experiences have been like.

Factory Resetting PC - Better Options?

If this is the wrong subreddit, please direct me to the correct one.

I just moved and have been wanting to reset my pc for a while to run better.

I've always used Google but I know it takes a lot to run for some reason/not optimized. I really only play Marvel Rivals(heavily modded) for the last 6 months, but I've also played Fornite, Rainbow Six Seige, Sims 4(heavily modded), Balder's Gate 3, Overwatch and Elder Scrolls Online within the past year.

What's a better browser? The best way to run higher graphics(I have lots of cosmetics items that I don't mind loosing a few fps, I don't play competitively)? If I factory reset, do I have to find all the apps for my pc build or will they pop up again? Recommend a good Clipping Software?

I'm not upgrading anything, but this is my pc build as followed that I did in 2020/21?;

Friends computer hacked?

My friend clicked on a pop up on a film pirating site, which resulted in her computer being bombarded with threatening pop ups. Now she is unable to turn them on and she is in a “bootloop”. Anyone have any advice?

Troubles with ethernet connection, suddenly stopped.

Been trying to fix this for like 5 hours, need help. Apparently according to ipconfig, it was unable to contact the dhcp server

Here's what I have done:

Did all of the ipconfig stuff to reset the system

Updated all of the ethernet drivers

Uninstalled the drivers then rebooted

Manually inputting the ip address

Ensured the connection of the cables

Disabled ipv6

Updated Windows to the latest update

Extra info:

The cable works, checked it on a separate computer and it worked fine

DHCP is enabled on the router

Other devices using ethernet worked fine

If there is anything anyone can do to help that would be awesome

What PC Builds and upgrades have you made in your life?

From what I remember

My first PC (2002ish):

Athlon 1700+ overclocked to 1496 mhz

256 MB of PC2100 ram

ATI All-In-Wonder 7500 graphics card (slightly overclocked)

40gb Hard Drive (might have added a second one later)

Windows XP

My first time having an actual video graphics card!

Second PC (2004ish):

AMD Barton Mobile 2500+ eventually overclocked to 2433 mhz

512 MB of PC3200 ram

eVGA 6800 GT. I put a copper heat sink on it and had a slight overclock on that

OCZ Modstream 450w PSU

Western Digital 250gb HDD (maybe two)

Windows XP

It was significantly faster than my old PC at stock CPU clocks, but running it at 2.4ghz was wayyyy faster. Probably the most customization I did with cooling solutions.

Third PC (2009)

I7-920 overclocked to 3.2 ghz

Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme cooler

4 gb (2 x 2gb) PC3-10666 ram

ASUS P6T SE mobo

Radeon HD5850 graphics card

Corsair VX550w PSU

Antec 900 Gaming case (loved this case!)

2x 500 gb Hard Drives

This was a HUGE upgrade. I'd say the biggest performance jump over a previous PC.

Eventually upgraded to a HIS HD7950 iceq x2 graphics card. That was a good upgrade for games like Far Cry 3.

I think I upgraded the ram. Probably to 8 gb, but I don't remember.

Not too long ago, I gave this PC away and it's pretty fast for normal generic tasks.

Windows 7 (might still be my favourite)

Fourth PC (2016)

I7-6700k overclocked to 4.4 ghz

air cooled.

MSI z170a motherboard

16 gb (2x8gb Corsair DDR4-3200) ram

MSI 1070 graphics card

Corsair rm750x PSU

Thermaltake v71 large tower case.

2x 860 EVO SATA drives. (what a difference these made!), plus old WD 500 gb HDD

Windows 10

Upgrades:

1 TB Samsung 960 Pro m.2 drive (sooo much faster)

add 1 TB 860 EVO SATA drive

32 gb (2x16 Corsair DDR4-3600) ram

MSI 4070 Super 12x Gaming Slim graphics card.

Another big jump in performance. Massive when it came or media encoding. Game performance really just stayed on par as games got more graphically demanding. I think I expected a more noticeable difference when upgrading to the 4070. My gaming days were less and less anyways. I finally found my CPU was too much of a bottleneck and needed to be upgraded.

Firth PC, mainly an upgrade (2026)

Ultra 7 270k Plus

Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 (my first liquid cooled setup)

MSI z890 Gaming Plus mobo

32 gb (2x16 gb) Corsair DDR5-6000 ram

1 TB WD/Sandisc sn7100 m.2 drive. (wow these are fast!)

Reuse 3x 860 EVO Sata drives + 960 Pro m.2 drive.

Reuse 4070 Super graphics card.

Resuse rm750x PSU

Windows 11

Surprisingly not as noticeable of a difference as I expected. Yeah I can run graphics higher and I don't see slow downs, buts my limited gaming experience hasn't changed much at all. Daily tasks again aren't much faster than before. I haven't tested all aspects of the new pc and haven't tuned it up yet either, but so far this has been one of the smaller gains in general performance over my previous PC's.

Transfer file lost? recovery advice

Hi, so a while back, maybe a month or two ago, I transferred a bunch of files to an old external hard drive I have from college. I plugged in the hard drive, and dragged over a folder in order to make space on my computer. And now cant find a certain file, like, at all anymore.

It's not in the original drive or the new one. I'm 99.9% sure I didn't delete it, because I never delete my files, that's why I needed more space in the first place. And I dont think it was overwritten because the name just doesn't exist at all, and the external hard drive never had a file with that name so I dont think I would have been prompted to overwrite anything in the first place. On top of that, I always choose to skip a file if its a duplicate so I can rename it instead... IDK I am just at a loss here. I have no idea where it is or what happened to it. Is there any way to try and recover the file? I spent around 50 hours working on this document and I would love to have it back if at all possible. And unfortunately I did not have any of the windows recovery crap set up... I mean? cops can get documents from a pc that's been wiped clean right? there has to be a way to find it.

anyways. thanks for any help. I'm losing my mind and even if there is nothing I can do, It would be just as helpful to know I'm just out of luck so I can start grieving and move on. but seriously, Ill try anything.
