In this article, we explain where things might have gone wrong and how you’re able to fix the charging issue....

Intel has added four new device IDs with the Battlemage codename in a new Linux Mesa graphics driver update.Lasse Kärkkäinen on Xshared the discovery, highlighting four new Battlemage PCI IDs that are conveniently missing any GPU die model nomenclature, suggesting one of the IDs could be the Battlemage B770 GPU. The four IDs that were added are 0xe220, 0xe221, 0xe222, and 0x223, with all four sporting a vague “BMG” nomenclature, merely pointing out that these GPUs run off of Intel’s Battlemage architecture....

The “HDMI No signal” error on your ASUS monitor indicates that it is not receiving any display input signals from the computer through its HDMI port. This error prevents the monitor from displaying any contents, leaving just the error message on the screen. There isn’t one specific reason for this problem, but the primary cause for the “ HDMI No Signal” seems to be the display connections. Some misconfigured display settings and outdated firmware/drivers also can generate similar problems on the ASUS monitor....

Yes, static electricitycankillyour PC. If not, manufacturers wouldn’t have packed motherboards in anti-static bags. Nor would anyone make anti-static gloves and wrist straps. Sounds compelling, right? But what if I told you these are just forpreventing potentialdamageby ESD? In practice,static electricity killing PCs is very rare. This is because it takes repeated long-term exposure for static discharge to significantly damage the components. Let me explain. Static Electricity Does not Kill Your PC Instantly There were days when static electricity could easily kill PC components....

According to a report byMyDrivers, Many Chinese startups working in the AI space are reportedly preferring theRTX 4090, one of thebest graphics cards, over the China-focused Nvidia H20 AI GPUs. It’s been said that the sanctions-compliant NvidiaHGX H20is just too expensive for many small and medium-sized companies, primarily because it does not deliver the performance levels you can find in the original A100 and H100 AI GPUs.

In a surprising turn of events, Chinese DRAM maker Changxin Memory (CXMT) is considering hiking the prices of its DDR4 memory after demand and supply stabilized, according toDigiTimes. According toTrendForcethat has, CXMT is not the only company to increased DRAM pricing in recent months. Keep in mind that the information is unofficial, though. In a bid to gain market share away from primary memory suppliers, just about six months ago CXMT and another Chinese memory maker Fujian Jinhua offeredtheir DDR4 SDRAM chips with a 50% discount, which made them cheaper than reballed (recycled/re-used) memory ICs, which intensified price competition amid oversupply of DDR4....

Chinese vendor Xianyu appears to be selling engineering samples of Intel Arrow Lake-S CPUs for just $14 online. A Sohu post citing the Arrow Lake-S CPU listing was spotted byYuuki_AnS on X (Twitter). It looks like Xianyu managed to get a hold of “old” engineering samples Intel dumped in the trash, and is now flipping them online. An image of the alleged engineering sample Xianyu is selling shows that, like other Intel samples, the ES chip does not state the model name — it merely says that it’s a confidential chip meant for testing purposes only....
