    Question Strange Laptop Noise

    Hi guys. At first I thought the strange noise was just coming from the laptop. A little bit ago, I found the first point of the noise which turns out to be the laptops power supply/brick. In turn, it is causing same noise in the laptop. My question now is, could it be the power supply that is...

    Question Strange Laptop Noise

    Question Starfield Performance Concern

    Hey. You think that it is just a bad power supply, and not the power connector inside the laptop or anything? What is coil whine? Is there a fix for that? I don't know if this is related to the power issue, but a lot of games that used to be decently playable are now a stuttery/laggy mess...

    Hi again guys. I purchased Veilguard and was able to launch/run game. Problem is, right now, the game is nearly unplayable for me as it uses WASD for Character movement instead of Arrow keys.
