Legion 5 15ARH05H: Random power offs, bluescreens and low performance

Mon, 18 May 2026 11:30:45 -0700

Hello

My laptop randomly powers off or get bluescreen with errors like:

1)Driver_irql_not_less_or_equal

Netio.Sys

2)kernel auto boost lock acquisition with raised irql

3)attempted execute of noexecute memory

nvlddmkm. Sys

4)kmode exception not handled

5)kernel security test failed

6)memory management

7) irql_not_less_or_equal (not same as 1))

The most common are 1), 7), 4)

Also the performance of the laptop is low, it's not overheating. Sometimes it drops performance up to bare minimum for 2 seconds while playing as basic thing as homm3. At the same time it holds up baldur's gate 3 at some decent level.

age of the laptop is not the problem

HP EliteBook 845 G8: Security Privacy replacement of screen

Mon, 18 May 2026 07:01:24 -0700

My screen came with the "Security Privacy" option on this HP 845 G8. The touch screen function is disabled. By design, I've never liked the viewing angles that it forces on the user. Now that I don't require the privacy screen nearly as much in my work, is it possible to change this screen out for a "standard" and/or "touch screen" version? This might be better asked of HP. Otherwise all is working just fine but just am curious to know what my options are.

Thanks for any help

Acer Aspire: No Bootable Device Found

Sun, 17 May 2026 23:31:21 -0700

I have an Acer Aspire V3-371 Series laptop here and it can't boot as it cannot find any Bootable device. I originally tried to reinstall Windows, that didn't work. So I tested the original HDD. It was defect to some degree. So I changed it out for a new one and installed Windows again. The PC worked! But just for a week or so before the exact same problem occurred again... Now I'm out of ideas what it could be.

Lenovo Yoga 710-11ISK: My lenovo 710 11ikb laptop is getting very hot and slows down

Sat, 16 May 2026 20:14:15 -0700

Why is my computer getting so hot after using it for 2 years with no problem?

This computer has no fan - it is fanless cooling technology.

It is a Lenovo Yoga 710 11ikb (not ISK - there was no option for 11ikb).

I use the computer sitting on a small book, it is elevated and air freely flows underneath it.

I have had it for 2 years. When I use it to teach english online (video-phone type platform) it starts to get very hot. The processes slow down and this effects the ping and makes it really difficult to work with video phone platforms.

Recently the air temperature is around 33-39 degrees celcius (about 90-100F) in the room where I am working because it is hot season where I live and I do not have AC. could this be the problem or part of the problem?

Not sure if it makes a difference but recently the computer fell and the touch screen cracked. It is still usuable as a screen but i has to disable the touch screen.

What can I do? Does it need to be taken to a repair shop?
