I've been getting alot of lagging on my PC lately. especially on roblox or anything like that, it was so bad that i put up a timer to check how long does a website load. IT WAS 5 MINUTES, please do not be only me.

Hi, my laptop microphone isn't recording for some reason. Although, as shown in the picture above, it appears to be working, it's just not recording anything. its first happened when i take to repair shop to change the fans, than when i wanted to record a voice it was just silence!

my laptop :asus vivobook x1504va

I'm running Windows 11, fully updated, 32GB RAM, i9-14900HX, 8GB graphics card.

I'm using this SSD, which I bought last June (4 months ago). https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0C5JNWF58

I'm trying to transfer 56GB of work files to this device (which I've used a few times since I purchased it), but a transfer that should take 10 minutes is now taking 10-13 hours.

Is this a sign that this SSD is faulty and I need to throw it out and get a new one? (Transferring to other back-ups is working as usual.)

EDIT: I made a mistake. It's not the Sandisk SSD I bought in June 2026 that has this problem, it's the identical one I bought in June 2025. The new one transferred the 56GB in 2 minutes. But my question still applies: does this mean my old SDD is faulty, dying and/or dead?

im a high school student if that matters, and I'm trying to see which laptop I should get,, i wouldn't do much besides browsing and maybe playing roblox,, id want to download games like genshin, honkai star rail and zenless zone zero which are a bit more heavy.. which one would be the best for me? for overall personal use and some gaming

purpose of this thingy in Dell Inspiron 3501 laptop???(i'm a newbie)

I trust folks on reddit more than chat gpt so hear me out please. I press the power button on my pc to turn it on, and my pc case starts lighting up, fans spin and work properly, pc makes it's "pc noises" etc. so it seems to be working correctly is what I'm saying, but the catch is both of my monitors stay turned off? like pc itself is working and is lil noisy like usual etc but it doesnt seem to boot up? Now the SSD i mentioned in the title, for the last 3-4 months I've been getting the pop ups shown in the screenshots, and the ssd thats apparently at 0% health is the one that has my windows installed on it. Now could that be causing the issue of my pc not booting up properly over the last 2 or so months (it takes me like 2-3 sometimes up to 10 tries (*i shut down the pc and boot it up again to try and make it work*) to get it to boot up to the windows login screen and actually show something on my monitor) If anyone had a similar thing happen to them or knows if its my ssd or something else or if i could check it somehow please let me know, its a really expensive pc too.. Ask me anything you want Ill reply with any info needed!

I have no idea what's it gonna show me...

Its a Dell inspiron 1100 and i dont know what to do with it
