Iconic profile pictures.

My only source of profile images was this topic, and seeing some old images was only possible if someone quoted someone,
because such Q posts 1.5+ years ago kept old images even though the user changed his avatar,
later discourse corrected a bug in newer versions of the forum, and then in that ānew timeā you started writing here,
so unfortunately I couldnāt find your old one, as well as images from many others.
So it was not intended to leave out or favor only certain members.

(Fun fact I actually entered that address into my browser and webroot blocked it thank the Lord)
Fun.
(This is from replit sites I made that I donāt maintain anymore, but I feel like the login system might be a bit vulnerable, but probably not enough for them to do it without having an actual person try to break in)
Also, sometimes when holding my computer with one hand (the right side, where the gpu is located) the screen will go black, or just recently I got the green squares or bars and after readjusting my hand it froze. Both times I have to restart and the PC says it was shut down unexpectedly. What is happening? Am I squeezing the gpu in some way? But wouldnāt it just break for good?
Also, why green and why bars? Does the GPU process data in large cubic chunks?

Probably the LCD cable loses contact when you squeeze a certain place
Does it happen if you move the lid too?
It is also possible that the GPU contacts (that whole area around) are no longer ideal due to overheating.
because it is probably only one of the wires that carry certain information for the horizontal ones
depending on the model, the cable looks like this
and often loses contact in these places
or the pins have no good contact or a bad ācrazyā contact (2 pins connected to each other instead of isolated)
Is your laptop under warranty? repair service?
until some more valuable component was burned due to wild contacts.
Of course, remove the SSD before you give it to them so they donāt dig into your files

I am fine @Oxy thank you for asking 
I just came by to check on the BETA SSL certificate installation, Iām renewing my certificate and when I saw that message I had to check into it. Appears that is for Cloudflare users, Iām just fine doing the manual install and keeping things how they are.
And yes, Iām still alive 
I have been shooting a lot of pool recently, itās become my new hobby, Iāve had a table since 2002 and didnāt play on it very much, but since retiring last year I play on it every day. You would be surprised to hear that once a person retires they just donāt have the time to do things, lol. I will try and come around a bit more often, it wonāt be long and the weather will be getting cold so there wonāt be much outside activity.
Nice chatting with you, and again thank you for noticing I was on the site and sending a message, you are very considerate

Of course we havenāt forgotten you
Iām glad youāre having fun 
I think auto (beta) installation is for all certificate types
we just didnāt edit the other FAQ/KB articles, but I only edited the one about CF(full)
with new images that include AUTO
Because Iām actually waiting for us to get out of beta and then make screenshots without beta texts in them

Yeah, I should probably check how the thing has been behaving. There having been astonishingly little posts about it (I expected it to be quite fragile). So Iāll make some time soon to go through the logs and see if there is anything Iāve missed. But based on what weāve seen so far I think itās safe to remove the label.

I was wondering if it was the LCD, but I donāt think so. Moving the screen does nothing.
It was under 1 year warranty which expired now, so uhā¦ yeh not fun.
My GPU heats up quite a bit, but I donāt think that it would be that it melted (the NVIDIA 3060ās I have heard can easily take 85 C, which is what Iāve maxed it out on). If I take it in for ārepairā it will either a) melt again (if that is the case) or b) cost a lot of money for something that will probably go wrong again (Alienware laptops, as I have seen, at least mine, are not really for carrying around).
I assume maybe that by applying pressure I am somehow either shorting the contacts or, possibly like you said losing that touch for some of them causing a system hang and reset.
I do squeeze it in a backpack with other stuff, but it should be able to handle it.
The SSD that contains the OS will be fine if I remove it (after having it shut down, of course), right? I do think that it would be that wayā¦
Most likely is the display cable which @Oxy had said.
Just order the replacement part and follow Youtube tutorial to carry out the repair
Ahā¦the beauty of warranty. Laptop manufacturers really know how to time it so that they can make $$$$ā¦

LOL meant that, sorry.
Yeh, it actually might be that (the GPU is on the other side, but I got it mixed up because my POV switches when I turn it upside down).
I mean, it happens if I hold it with one hand (so Iām basically squeezing hard). I donāt think a 5 pound laptop is meant to take that, so it could just be my bad (works fine otherwise, and only occasionally happens).
If it starts to happen a lot, then maybe Iāll think about it (Iām just fretting that because it even happens, I think it should have been broken by now, but maybe it was just a squeezing or something that prevented the signal from going through, IDK).
Plus, I canāt find the part on their website and I donāt dare replace it because itās so darn packed (I have to take literally everything off just to clean out the fans, which I will have to do sometime).
