Hi guys.
I own Alienware 17 r3 6820HK GTX 980M.
I purchased it recently tried some gaming (Rise of the Tomb Raider, Serious Sam) and after 10-15.min games freeze, but I could hear audio from game.
Now I am not yet at home, but when it happens I do get separate window error message and will post it later.
Then again there are moments when I could play for like an hour and no errors.
From my experience reading about this issue, this means my GPU is dying, correct?
I installed most recent nVidia drivers.
Temp of GPU while gaming is max 76 C, but usually around...
Thank you to the guys at HEGE supporting Badcaps [ HEGE ] [ HEGE DEX Chart ]

by crosswindsHello,
So, pulled a motherboard out from storage, was working when put away, wont post when I took it out of storage today.
Since it was working, and it looks to be essentially time that killed it I figured its a good idea to replace the caps before digging further.
Looks to be only good quality caps on this board, so might not be the issue. But it is closing in on 20 years now so, wont hurt i guess
Its a ASUS P5VDZ-MX board.
I would really appreciate some assistance on what the best replacement caps would be for these:

by shlomim412Hello
working on a2141 macbook, board number 820-01700 which has no wifi\bt and also no connection with LAN cable.
initial visual inspection the board looks good no visible corrosion or damage.
i found that PP3V3_G3S_X is shorted to ground (around 1.5ohm short)
and also PP3V3_GS3_WLAN i shorted to ground (same ohm reading, around 1.5ohm).
the board is working but no WIFI\BT as i mentioned.
with the usb c cable connected for measurement i noticed U8215 i getting EXTREMELY HOT

by nobbnobb1I am trying to get a set of Creative T40 computer speakers to work again of which I believe the problem is bad caps (470uF @ 35V). So I get a generic set off Aliexpress. The brands are meaningless, but if anyone cares it's a "Chongx"
When they arrive, to my surprise it's much smaller than the originals. These are 8mm x 15mm whereas the OE is 10mm x 20mm. Unfortunately my meter does not test capacitance but I'm guessing there's no way this meets spec at 80% the size.
Thoughts? Is it still worthwhile or safe to try and install these to see if...-

by chth96When I tried to repair LG 29 inch CRT TV, I found that the ESR value of samyoung SMS capacitor(160v 2.2uf), which is very close to D1879 transistor, is 6 ohm.

by abajorI've gotten into the habit of Looking at peoples Mechanical Hard drives with a Ubuntu thumb drive to boot their system.
I understand the raw values are not really uniform between manufacturers, but I have noticed that high seek and read error raw values at the very least correlate to a drive that is going to have sub par access time, and extremely slow OS booting.
The odd thing is I've often seen very high seek and read error rates on drives with fairly low on time.
Does anybody have any other takes on evaluating smart data? I've used Crystal Disk Info, It seems to present...-

I have this Thinkpad T15p Gen 3 laptop. It starts normally with keyboard lighting up, I can hear the fan starts spinning, amps quickly reach about 1.7A without the battery, CPU gets hot. However, it is not posting.
I suspect the BIOS is corrupted. I am providing 2 BIOS files as I see 2 BIOS 256Mb chips. I am also providing a photo of the chips' location on the motherboard.
