Many but not all of my applications are no longer working - they do not open once double clicked. There does not seem to be a pattern to what works and what doesn't. Steam, blizzard launcher and adobe Photoshop are some which do not work. Furthermore, windows update in the settings is also stuck on checking.

graphics card problems

Hi,

Your computer makes a noise or beeps from your internal speaker because it failed to detect the graphics card. What we can suggest is for you to try cleaning your graphics card with a pencil eraser. Here are the steps below:

• Turn your computer off.
• Pull out your video/graphics card.
• Rubbed the cold contacts with soft pencil eraser.
• Connect your video/graphics card back to the computer.

Kindly note that this is just a temporary fix. If the case still continues, I suggest that you contact your graphics card's manufacturer.

Let us know how it goes.
