A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Once upon a time I read that this can happen when your CPU isn’t correctly seated but that always sounded weird to me so idk

What's weird about it? CPU seated wrong means that some pins may not be making proper electrical contact inside the socket. Pins not making proper contact means that they can't energize the electrical traces that connect to those pins, or only do so intermittently, so whatever part of your system they control won't work right either.
