Hardware bugs thread?
>I have an original mx518 that emits a coil whine when I hold the left mouse button
>had a Dell notebook that disabled the keyboard every time it was plugged in
>had a copy of Intel 12400 (with iGPU) that crashed the moment you tried to install any GPU drivers. Ran fine on iGPU
Do you have any stories about weird/broken hardware?
>>
no

i keep thinking this mouse has dents in it

>inspiron 5567
>constant ACPI issues on sleep or shutdown, would take 7 business days to power off after the screen goes dark
>xps 2720 that wouldn't enter the uefi setup on f2 unless a USB drive was plugged in
>latitude 5300 with the same ACPI bug and a flicker on startup that just wouldn't fuck off unless cmos reset
I should stop buying Dells huh

Yesterday my desktop didn't turn on. I mean, it does for about 5 seconds and then it always shuts down.
I don't feel like diagnosing. Removed all external storage and still does the same. Just plugged the laptop and moved on.

>xps
I bought a used XPS from ebay a couple of users ago. It had a constant high pitched coil whine when it was on. Thank God the seller was cooperative and accepted the return as soon as I filed the request.
>>
>>108670418
oh that reminds me of the ASUS motherboard that just went seppuku one day and never POSTed properly after
still seething that was gonna be my proxmox box
>>108670475
>coil whine from intel CPUs
that's eternal, I think it comes from how they do c-states. Happens more if you set the CPU to always run at high frequency probably cause it's going in and out of idle faster
>>
>>108670502
>that's eternal
You mean for Dell exclusively? Or just Intel in general?
I've had more than a dozen of ThinkPads with Intel CPUs (old and new gens) and never had any coil whine whatsoever.
>>
>>108670641
it might be with Dell's VRMs but I've never had an Intel laptop that isn't a Dell shitbox
everything from 8th gen to 11th gen whined like an annoying dog doe

This was by far the best mouse I ever had, rip!

My amd gpu has a lot of bugs. But im not sure if it's driver bugs or if the hardware is cooked
>>
>>108670805
They're pretty easy to repair. Aliexpress still sells cases, cables and switches for it.
>>
>>108670823
already trashed it :(
>>
>>108670819
I had an Asus laptop with amd ryzen 5500u or something like that, I don't remember the model exactly. It would freeze randomly for a couple of seconds every once in a while. I couldn't figure out what was causing it because it wasn't dependant on what was running at the time.
>>
>>108670192
I had an Asus AM3 motherboard that one day just decided to start freezing after a few minutes. I think it was a part overheating since it'd happen faster once the machine had been on for a bit. I never figured out what the issue was.
>>
>>108670276
that was the intention
>>
>>108670840
why
>>
>>108670192
I bought a fan for my desktop that sounded like a buzzsaw when spinning
>>
>>108670805

Miss it desu,mine lasted 14 years.
>>
>>108670819
RDNA1 and RDNA3 are notoriously buggy
anything else and it's probably the driver
>>
>>108671713
I have a RDNA3 correct :(
>>
I have a G305 with an incredibly sensitive right click.
I also have an MX anywhere that is super choppy in Counter Strike for some reason and the mouse wheel still detect micro movements in ratchet mode. So it sometimes scrolls in the opposite direction when I stop scrolling.
They're both pretty nice otherwise but I have to switch between them for certain tasks.
>>
>>108670805
Mine still works. Somehow logitech managed to build switches with infinite durability. They won't make that mistake again
>>
>>108671742
downclocking the card (by like 10-20%) might help
or you could try to RMA
as for why AMD thinks it's fine to sell buggy half-baked silicon when they have <10% discrete GPU market share, well, that's a separate discussion
>>
>>108671689
I got mine in the early 2000s, lasted me till ~2 years ago. I just replaced it with a 20€ noname mouse because of this >>108671760
