    need some help please

    ok running slimjet browser and it keeps using 100 percent processor and fan running flat out .it never used to do this .its been happening now a good while and getting worse . have tried various suggestions from the net but no better . other browsers are fine but rather keep slimjet ..
    it seems like it wants to use software for graphics instead of using gpu ... some rendering shit i know little about .
    am running ubuntu .
    also another problem but not bothered is most you tube vids wont play but some do .think its html5 issue .
    i suppose i could wipe the whole thing then do a backup but would rather not do that as time consuming putting it back as i like it .
    any suggestions welcome .i can copy paste outputs no problem .

                cant see that doing anything, the javascript interpreter is built into the browser.
                it should be a browser option to block javascript - no need to uninstall stuff.

                          have revised these settings ..
                          also added miner block and nothing detected .
                          still the original problem with cpu fan running high after a while .
                          am now looking at task manager and its saying cpu at around 15 percent .
                          whilst CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor is showing 98 percent on all 4 cores .

                              problem is this i am pretty sure as when i kill this process everything returns to normal ...
                              there is much more in this line but nor sure how to capture it .. it goes a few screens wide .

                                  just been into flags and changed a few things . cant seem to get rid of all field trial stuff but it seems much much better now .. after reloading all tabs fan spins up hard then returns to normal rather than staying sped up ..
                                  bit of another issue now ..i see data in and out all the time . i dont want this happening as only on 15gb a month limit . total of about 200 kb/s . this pc stays on all day so that eating up credit .. will try turning off some more stuff in browser .

                                          Running Line Voltage and Integrating LED Pods - Automotive
                                          by FALKLAN
                                          Howdy everyone! I hope all is well where ever you are!

                                          I'm attempting to integrate a couple of LED pods into an automotive reverse lamp circuit. The problem being, while the vehicle is running there is a 8.5v current present on the reverse lamp power wire. Needless to say is that all LED pods and lights dimly illuminate while the 8.5v is present, so the LEDs are always powered on while the vehicle is running. When the vehicle is shifted into reverse, the voltage changes to 12 volts.

                                          I am uncertain how to convert this line into a switched 12v output line for the LED pods....

                                          by rumpumpel1
                                          Oberservation:
                                          X1 Carbon 4th Gen runs very slowly. Task manager shows the CPU running at 400 MHz.
                                          In rare cases (1 out of 20) it runs at normal speed.
                                          It does so when running on battery or only with the charger.
                                          When both are connected - charger and battery (50% charged) - the system switches between charger and battery once per second.

                                          The laptop does exactly the same thing when running Windows or Linux, so OS level problems can be ruled out.

                                          Flashing CleanME and a different BIOS made no difference.

                                          by Kambi13
                                          Hi all, need some help. I have a Samsung NP370E4K-KD2BR, which as a 5th Gen Intel CPU that works fine when running with the charger plugged in, but has soon as I remove it and it's running on battery the screen backlight goes off.

                                          Tried different battery - no change
                                          Tried different screen - no change

                                          Removed the plastic film from the screen inverter and looked for pwm signal which as about 3.3v when running with the charger plugged in, when I take it off the voltage drops down to 2.232v, so my best guess is that the EC is not providing the correct voltage....

                                          Hey I am having Asus Rog strix g15 g513ih hn0865 and it's having display issues while running on igpu. Works fine when I open any game or whatsapp windows application. The issues are :
                                          Black screen, freeze
                                          The weird thing is that when as long as the laptop is running on igpu the problem keeps happening. But as soon as I open any game or whatsapp windows application, the laptop works completely fine.
                                          When the screen freeze or black screen I used to move the display lid up and down and it usually works like that.
                                          So can anyone tell me what would be the possible cause?...

                                          Hello all,

                                          I'm trying to repair this A2251 macbook pro. Board is 820-01949. The original issue was liquid damage which all cleaned up well and the board was not heavily damaged. Unfortunately after liquid damage cleaning the computer is running extremely slow and the fan is running at full speed. Even the cursor is lagging. Because of this I can't use the built in hardware diagnostic to give me a clue as to what is happening. Does anyone know if Apple Service Diagnostic software is available for this model? Any other clues which could help me out? Seems to me there is an issue with...
