For some reason when I wake my Mac from sleep the screen is black and none of the buttons work. Eventually, I get to the "your computer has restarted because of a problem" then I press any key to resume startup. Does anybody know why this might be happening? I have a link to the log here...

For some reason, my Macbook Air is throttling and not running at full performance when the battery level is under 40 ish percent. I have iStats Menu and it seems like the CPU is peaking around 140 degrees compared to the 180-190 that I normally get when I use my computer at full load at battery...

I figured it out. Turns out it was my aftermarket batteries. When using some of them, they would throttle the computer down to 0.98Ghz and with some other batteries, they would run at 2.16Ghz sustained. Even though the battery that throttled down to 0.98Ghz lasted longer, it's not an indication...

I checked all settings in bios and I don't have any dell applications installed.

I got a new battery so that shouldn't be a problem.

For some reason, my computer runs slow and won't turn on the fans when I am using my Dell Latitude D620 laptop unplugged. When it is not plugged in, it throttles down to 1ghz with 40 percent CPU utilization and everything runs slower. But the moment I plug in the charger, it jumps back up to...

Recently got a Lenovo ThinkPad S431 and the right click on the top mouse buttons don't seem to work for some reason but the bottom right click does. When I turn it on in the settings it doesn't do anything and when I use the latest driver version on the Lenovo website it causes two finger...

Yea that's a mistake on my part I assumed 840 and 840 EVO were the same thing.

Card has no bluetooth and Wi-Fi works so looks like I'll stick with this. Other posts seem to show other color combinations though.

I bought my Samsung 840 SSD on eBay and for some reason, it is writing much slower than I thought it should. The read speeds are at 400-500mb/s but the write is lower than I thought. CrystalDiskInfo says the drive health is at 89 so does anybody have any ideas on why it's running slower?

I am using an Atheros AR5BXB72 Wi-Fi card that I pulled out of a MacBook Pro so I can use my Dell E6430 to get 5Ghz Wi-Fi. When hooking up the antennas, I noticed that the card itself didn't have any color coding and had numbers on it. My laptop color-coded the antenna cables. I was wondering if...

The battery is about maybe 4 years old. In the bios the battery health still says good but it dies early. Any way to make the battery percentages more accurate?

For some reason, my D620 randomly shuts down at 90 percent. I have tried to calibrate the battery but it dies too early. How can I make the battery gauge more accurate. Also it is an aftermarket battery.
