Games crash, won’t launch

PC Specs

Processor: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-11400F @ 2.60GHz

Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, 8 GB

16.0 GB RAM

System Type: 64-bit operating system, x64 based processor

Windows 10

PC was running just fine a few weeks ago and then randomly started to crash every time I tried playing a game, doesn’t matter what game it is. I’ll go to launch a game and the screen goes black but my fans are still running so I have to shut down the motherboard. When I looked into the Event Viewer I see an error 10016 saying “The application-specific permission setting does not grant Local Launch permission for the COM Server application with CLSID.” Is this what is causing my games to crash? Or does it sound like another problem? Drivers are up to date. Any advice would be much appreciated, thank you.

Laptop clock won't keep time between power cycles, cmos battery replacement did not fix issue

I have a 2021 Legion 5 Pro-16ACH6H Type 82JQ.

A recent problem is the clock stopped keeping time between power cycles, so I need to sync the clock every time it boots. 

I sent it to an IT repair shop in Indonesia (currently backpacking here). 

We replaced the cmos battery but this did not resolve the problem. They sent me a message then saying a fix beyond the battery would be too risky and decided not to go ahead. To be fair they have been very professional and polite. I just post this because I want to better understand the issue and maybe get a second opinion?

Hi everyone, I've always wondered if it's possible to enlarge the quick access icons?

It works fine even with external programs.

I got hacked last week but I think I'm still being attacked

I just wanna have my emails and accounts safe..

This happened the thursday of the past week. I was trying to install a switch emulator in my Asus laptop and I got a malware installed

I didn't noticed, I went to college on Friday morning but at 1 pm I received a Russian email one of when you click on forgot your password on steam, but I had steam guard and I guess that didn't work

So they hacked me my discord instead and send Bitcoin scam to my dm

Well, I recovered my discord account a few minutes after and change password and also change password of all my emails

I thought this was over but today, literally 8 days after that I got an email that said that someone enter into my X (twitter) account like an hour and half ago I also change password and clicked the "it wasn't me" option in the Gmail so the account is like blocked

I don't know if this has something to do with the malware cause I actually don't use never, not even once Twitter in my laptop

Is from my email?

Anyway I don't care about that X account is my secondary and I don't have nothing I wanna have it back to delete it, but most importantly I wanna know what I can do to be safe, I already reset my laptop Friday day when it happened I have a lot in mi emails and one is from the school

I feel so bad cause I can't tell my parents, I don't know If my laptop is still infected, and I don't know nothing of this, what can I do?

HP Laptop won’t open

Hoping someone can help me. I have a pretty new HP Laptop. I had only used it a couple of times, but had no issues each time. The next time I used it, it turned on but it wouldn’t open up. It looks like the screen wants to scroll up and open, but it doesn’t. It just stays on blue screen. Any ideas on what might be the problem?

Bios is stuck, is it over for me?

I wanted to enable multi monitor capabilities in my bios, which is something that previously was enabled as I used to have a 3 monitor setup with one hooked into my motherboard and the others into my gpu. It was like that for years, I dropped down to 2 monitors about 6 months ago, I have no clue how it got turned off. I wanted to temporarily hook up a 3rd display so I went into bios and enabled the setting and when I pressed save changes and reboot it froze on the bios screen and I can’t do anything. I don’t want to power down in fear it’ll brick my PC. What do I do?

I went on a trip for 5 days and my pc won’t turn on

Okay so, I left for a trip on Sunday and I shut down my pc before leaving. I came back last night and my pc won’t turn on. So far, I’ve tried plugging my pc directly into the wall outlet, disconnected all peripherals, did a PSU paperclip test (PSU turned on along with the LED on the motherboard and case), and tried removing the CMOS battery for a few minutes and put it back in. Does this mean my motherboard is faulty?

does double nat with 2 routers cause any issues with online multiplayer games like cs2?

currently planning to buy a router with openwrt support, but my isp router lacks a bridge mode, for which i have to get in touch with the isp customer support....will it cause any issues for multiplayer games in general?...

my connection is already under cgnat, so i guess it will be triple nat instead....getting a static ip is not possible since they only allow it for business connections....

Xbox can connect to Sceptre monitor, but PC can't

I have my HDMI cables connected properly, I turn on my computer just to see it doesn't show on the monitor. But when I do the same with my Xbox, it somehow works. I tried changing the hdmi inputs through the menu but it just won't change, it stays stuck at whatever the Xbox's hdmi cable is connected to.
