Lately get message no signal and also screen shows colours flicking and I have to turn off and reload. Is it time to get a new computer?
Just had a look at Dell (bought all my computers from there) Looking for an all-in-one. They have one on offer at the moment, which looks to me very cheap. Next step up is nearly £1000.00
Copied from Dell8th Generation Intel® Core™ i3-8145U Processor (4MB Cache, up to 3.9 GHz)
Windows 10 Home 64bit Multi-Language, English, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Spanish
Intel® UHD Graphics 620 with shared graphics memory
8 GB, 1 x 8 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz
1TB 5400 rpm 2.5" SATA Hard Drive
Ports & Slots
These figures do not mean anything to me.
I only use computer for normal activities and some card games.
I have got a portable camera and printer.
For any advise I would be grateful. Thank you
