  1. Pc acting weird after power outage


    So , i was on my Pc during a thunder storm in my city and the electricity went out. Ever since it looks like it has problems with processing stuff in games. No matter the load , big or small ,the games are just not smooth as before. To describe the issue it is just one freeze ranging from very few frames to being so visible that i m thinking my pc is crashing. It seems to me that the pc is just having problems with proccessing information cuz it can run Apex legends on 165fps nonstop without having to be 100% utilized but the freezes are there and i honestly didnt notice any major FPS drops ,

    :)

    Hello,

    There are few factors that can contribute to the issue you are encountering. Power outages can result in data loss, corruption of folders/files, and programs not functioning.

    To assist you further, kindly provide more details by answering the following questions:

    • Which browser are you using to check the passwords and favorites section? Provide the list of browsers where you encountered the concern.
    • Have you tried using another account to verify if the programs are still missing on your program list?

    There is a possibility that the drive index has been corrupted. We highly suggest that you check your hard drive and scan for errors by following these steps:

    • Open This PC on File Explorer and locate your hard drive.
    • Right-click and choose Properties.
    • Under Tools tab, click on Check Now button.

    After scanning the hard drive, hidden files and folders, as well as lost data can be restored.

    Additionally, we advise running the System File Checker as another way for us to check or scan for data corruptions in Windows system files that can be affected by the power outage. To do so, follow the steps on this article:

    Using System File Checker in Windows 10.


    Let us know of any details pertaining to your concern.

    Hi there, I just had a power outage and i'm worried that my windows installation will be damaged. I have an SSD. Should there be any steps I should do now? What should I check?

    Pc acting weird after power outage

    PC acting weird

    Pc acting weird

    Most of the time my pc works flawless but without any warning it start to act super weird and always the same things.

    Mousewheel stops working

    Some buttons don’t work - W or D for example

    Chrome tries to open a new window instead of the normal process or just a tab

    Mouse tries to highlight everything

    When I turn it off/restart it shows the blue Window Screen with

    Choose option

    After restarting it acts normal or does the weird stuff again after some seconds/minutes.

    Things I tried:

    Restarting

    Virus/Malware Scan

    Unplugging Keyboard/Mouse etc…

    I’m kind of a pc noob ans don’t know what to do here.

    First I thought ita the Wootility program - belongs to the wooting60he a keyboard but after shutting it down nothing changed.

    What can I do? I really don’t want to reset everything especially since most of the time he acts normally.

    Help please.
