Stupid questions go here
Google them first
Read the sticky
etc
i did google this first but with windows 10 it seems like there is a lot of misinformation or abnormalities
so here goes
i currently have an i5 4690k and a matching board, windows 10
i have an i7 6700k and matching board on their way to my house via newegg.
presuming i drop in the new hardware, there will likely be some driver issues between boards but utilizing tools like driver sweeper and the like i don't forsee a problem there, but my question is, will windows deactivate? i have a legit upgrade from a previous 7 install/build
i'm not entirely sure how the 'free upgrade' program works in regards to whether i actually own the license or key.
please and thanks
>>55051741
The windows 10 key is tied to your motherboard
>>55051763
ok so how do i preserve it?
if i change my motherboard, i need my copy of windows to main legitimate, of course
>>55051823
Talk to Microsoft, see what they say, otherwise buy a new copy of Windows.
>>55051834
fuckin' pajeets. alright, thanks
Alright, /sqt/, so I've been getting these issues ever since I got a new GPU in my PC. On startup, my PC often crashes and requires several restarts to boot properly.
On certain occasions, applications become unstable, such as Google Chrome, or Steam, malfunctioning or simply not wanting to open.
Pic related, it's a blue screen I took a day or two ago, the blue screen error varies.
>>55051872
Does it still do it if you remove the new GPU?
Run memtest
>>55051905
It didn't happen before the new GPU
I actually couldn't hook up the new GPU with the cables that came with it, so instead, I unplugged the cables from my GTX 580, and into my new GPU.
>>55051927
Just because it didn't happen before the new GPU doesn't mean you didn't fuck something up installing it
>>55051952
What do you think I'm trying to figure out?
How does the game controller manage to power on the console when it's turned off? Is it always listening for some particular on signal even when "off" to accomplish this? Does it sip power to do so?
>>55051965
I dunno m8, but you're getting a memory error and problems generally not directly related to a GPU so I told you to test your memory and you seemed to ignore it.
Did the /g/ ftp server die?
>>55051980
Yes, it takes a small amount of power to wait for a turn on signal.
>>55051984
Like I said, the error varies.
Another error is PFN_LIST_CORRUPT
I put my new build in my newegg shopping cart last night, figured I'd think it over for a day.
Today I come back to buy but the refurb motherboard has sold out (msi 970). There are no other great motherboards for around that price ($60), and the new-in-box is $98.
which is retarded because at that price I'd just buy a board with the 990 chipset instead, which would be an upgrade
question is: do you think newegg will stock another refurb msi 970?
>>55052004
That can also be related to memory
>>55052026
Maybe so.
I have some extra fans laying around
would this layout work or is it dumb
>>55051842
W10 is free, you wont have a problem with it.
Otherwise just crack 7 and get your free W10 copy.
>>55052112
Both top fans should be exaust not intake.
Hot air goes up.
I'm recovering a lost NTFS hard drive with lots of files (music, image sets, etc.) using Testdisk (Debian live). When I tried undeleting the entire partition it seems to dump everything into one folder. Is that how it's supposed to work? Can I specify for the Testdisk undeletion to include the folder structure?
>>55051872
could be a problem with your hard drive (maybe your SSD is starting to go haywire)
the problem could be completely separate from your GPU and just be your hard drive, maybe ur PC is having trouble booting from that hard drive
i am just taking a wild guess, i have no idea
>>55051872
Run MEMTEST.
>>55052010
970 is da best, just pay the $99

Windows 10 is technically not free, its just a free upgrade. You have to pay for (legitimate) new licenses.

Okay nevermind. It seems to be extracting to subfolders, just surprised by a bunch of stuff I found on the root
I was being a retard today and fucking around inside my case while my computer was on. I accidentally shorted something. PC turned off when I booted it back up it gave me a CMOS error and bumped me to my UEFI bios. I closed that without making any changes and then it booted up and has been running normally all day. What should my trouble shooting process be? Somebody recommended resetting my bios but I don't want to set up my boot order and all that if there are other options that might be an easier fix.
>>55052235

The fuck is happening? Second time this has happened now.
For some reason, my computer has been freezing and then turning off automatically starting today. When it powers off, it tries to turn itself back on. Strangely, it powers up, turns on the fans, but then powers down before the POST beep until it eventually gets it.
I doubt it's the graphics card, as games run smoothly at max settings with 120 FPS with no artifacting or anything abnormal. It's probably not RAM related since those problems don't tend to cause immediate crashes that lead into a restart without some sort of log. Device Manager and Event Viewer don't show anything that lead to software issues.
It MIGHT be the PSU, but I'd figure a PSU problem would involve shit just turning off completely. Sometimes, my computer hangs with looped audio forever until I forcefully turn it off. It MIGHT be an overheating issue, but I don't know why it'd start today. My temps tend to hang around 50C and don't get anywhere near the auto-shutoff point unless speedfan is lying to me.
I know /g/ isn't techsupport, but advice to where and how I can diagnose this issue would be neat.
>>55052319
>it booted up and has been running normally all day
So the problem is resolved is what you are saying here, right?
>What should my trouble shooting process be?
Uhm, I dont get it. It boots up and runs normally, what is there to troubleshoot exactly?
>>55052380
I was doing redoing cable management after I cleaned out my case and one of my SATA cables popped loose and hit my 980 and the computer shut off.
>>55052453
It's still giving me a CMOS error every time I boot up but there doesn't seem to be anything affected after I exit the BIOS.
>>55052442
Sounds terribly mobo related. Check all the standoffs and mount points to make sure you aren't shorting out.
If it's clear, then you can replace one component at a time to see what resolves it. Hopefully you have some recent builds with similar enough components.
Don't rule out the RAM quite yet, that shit can be, how do you say - irrational- to diagnose at times.
>>55052474
>It's still giving me a CMOS error every time I boot up
Try doing a cmos reset jumper or switch once, but otherwise you might want to reseat EVERYTHING and run through ALL the bios settings once
>>55052497
I suppose it's not impossible for it to be the RAM. I'll run Memtest overnight, which should tackle quite a few problems. If my PC randomly turns off during Memtest, that'll narrow things down a bit. And then I'll open the case and cleans shit out.
>>55052515
Alright I'll do that tomorrow, thanks for your time.
Does Moore's law apply to price as well as performance? ie: every 18 months something new with equivalent performance to something 18 months old would cost half as much?

I'm trying to partition my drive to install Linux onto my windows desktop. Using the disk management utility, I partitioned my C:/ drive to give me 200GB for Linux. However, when I try to format the unallocated space, I'm told I've reached the number of possible partitions. Knowing that's bullshit, I tried to convert it into a dynamic disk, but I'm told I "Don't have enough space," What the hell is this fuckery, /g/? Pic related.

Hi /g/
I'm looking for an alternative to google maps GPS for android.
Is waze a good one? Why does it needs so much permissions?
What's the name of this song?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uWr56ZzpQA&feature=youtu.be
>>55053666
Waze is owned by Google ya dingus. It would be nice to have one that does waypoints. Does this exist? I need it before I return to Yurop.
I have a .SLM file from work. It is a store POS Menu. It is password protected, and prompts for password after it is executed to open.
How can I crack it? Corporate doesn't want us editing it ourselves, but I have too.
Please help.
>>55053766
Why do you need to edit it?
>>55051689
Are there any ffmpeg wizards here? I require your help. I want to embed a set of subtitles from one video file into another one. I've searched for a GUI to do this but none of them can complete this simple task, so I assume that I must do this using CLI now. What runes would I input to get the output I desire?
>>55053770
they changed the panel layout and let a third party design it. I also like to add my own coupons and specials. I use it every day, i feel like i have a better sense of what it should look like and how it should flow.

>>55053720
Thanks for the info.

Is Yurop a good one?
>>55053791
You want to take the subs from one video and put them into another video? Is that right? Not subs that are separate from the video?
I know how to do the latter, and I know how you could split the subs from the original video that contains subs. There is definitely some way of getting the subs out but I cannot be fucked trying to work it out.
You would end up with something like this except somehow stripping the audio and video from the file that contains the subs.
ffmpeg -threads 2 -i %1 -i %2 -vcodec copy -acodec copy "%~n1.mkv"
>>55053814
Yeah, Europe is a pretty good continent.

>>55053817
>Is that right?
Yeah. I have one low-quality video with good subs and another high-quality video with no subs. I seek to solve this problem.
And in searching around more, I just found FFQueue, which actually seems to be exactly what I want. Probably not complex enough to do the really cool stuff with ffmpeg, but it's good enough for me.
Thanks for the help, though.

I want to create a VM with Windows 7 on Linux host for non-resource-intensive games that don't work in Wine (mostly VNs).
I am unable to do GPU passthrough because of hardware reasons.

Do I use QEMU or Virtualbox? I heard that QEMU overall works better, but Virtualbox has some limited support for non-passthrough GPU acceleration.

If I have some .7z files that I want to try to brute force, what's my best option as far as program to use??

I have one file that I'm pretty sure is my old buttcoin wallet with a couple in it, and I have a couple that I'm pretty sure are pictures I'm definitely not supposed to see.
All the passwords are simple enough that it's viable, over the course of a few weeks to months.

>>55054230

That would be faster than something GPU accelerated? But the problem is that I'm pretty sure the passwords are not going to be ones commonly found in the dictionary, like in-jokes or nonsense words and such. But yeah, I have Linux.

you can easily go for 4.3 - 4.5 OC without any problems.

nah this wasn't job related. I had problems with my mouse and the customer support told me that might be the reason.

FreeNAS is not intented to be anything but a NAS. Everything is way more complicated on BSD.

You're probably not dealing with enough files to see much benefit from ZFS anyway.
And you shouldn't host your email on a lone server on a residential connection because it's too unreliable for something people expect to have 100% uptime. Find somewhere else to point your domain.

>>55055666
If there's no settings for than in Premiere, ffmpeg can do it. It's best to set it to high compression on the first encode instead of doing it twice. You lose disproportionately more quality for the same size reduction if doing it with more than one operation.
Why Premiere Pro and not Sony Vegas Pro?

Debian Sid is a good balance between bleeding edge and being able to use your computer as a tool. But you don't miss out on much with a point release like Ubuntu. Debian has a bit less pre-configured and worky-worky, and you'll end up making most of it nearly the same as Ubuntu's defaults.

Fedora looks nice, also Ubuntu Mate looks good enough. What should I install?
>>55055773
Mate is a fork of GNOME 2 for baby ducks who can't adapt to any change, and wastes a ton of vertical space. Unity really is the best interface if your computer is powerful enough for it to not stutter. On systems that can't, like my Chromebook/Crouton, I like XFCE as my terminal launcher.
Fedora is really annoying to use because its official repositories are tiny so you have to add a bunch of third party shit. But it can be good practice if you're a Hufflepuff destined for system administration and will be dealing with RHEL/CentOS.

New here and been lurkin' but I have a few.
I'm thinking of upgrading my PC to be fitted with the new NVIDIA 1070.
I also want a new CPU, what do I need to know if I want one that's compatible with my current set up?
Can someone explain SSD better than the Wikipedia page? Why are they being sold with an additional HDD while having a smaller amount of memory (~250GB)
Can I change my motherboard and still keep all my data?
Suggest a gaming mouse?
I'm using ver.41 of Chromium. Am I safe from that voice recording thingie? It was supposedly only from ver.43, right?
>>55056641
>I also want a new CPU, what do I need to know if I want one that's compatible with my current set up?
Motherboard type needs to support CPU type, example LGA 1151 supports LGA 1151, which is skylake 6600, 6700 and future ones
>Can someone explain SSD better than the Wikipedia page? Why are they being sold with an additional HDD while having a smaller amount of memory (~250GB)
SSD is just a HDD which has no moving parts, so it can load really fast, usually 2/3x the speed of a normal HDD, but expensive in comparison. Most people use them for installing the operating system on 120gb drives
>Can I change my motherboard and still keep all my data?
Idk what you even mean by this, you mean plug your current HDD/SSD into a new motherboard? Then yes. You might have to get a new copy of windows though 'cuz when you change a huge amount of things windows might deactivate
>Suggest a gaming mouse?
All steelseries products I've owned have lasted forever and been good, all logitech i've owned have died fast and razer have been good so far. Take your pick I guess..

When you build something, you first decide a budget and the purpose of it. Then the steps are :
>pick a CPU
>pick a mobo compatible with the CPU (look at the socket)
>Make sure the mobo have everything you want (usb 3.0, M.2 port for some kind of SSD, number of fans (even if that's not the most important), capable of SLI or crossfire if you want to use two GPU, and if you want to OC you should pick it carefuly but if you're a noob you should play with that and care of it).
>pick a GPU
>pick a HDD (avoid seagate)
>pick the RAM
>pick a PSU from a good brand (evga, be quiet, corsair...). And take one certified 80+, bronze, silver or gold. To know which power you need use a calculator like the one be quiet provide.
SSD are flash memory compared to the HDD which are mechanical. They are less prone to failure technically and are faster than the HDD. But it's a more recent technology so they cost more. That's the reason people buy 250GB SSD, they only cost 70€ compared to the 1TB SSD that are too expansive
>Can I change my motherboard and still keep all my data?
your data are on your HDD or SSD so yes you can.
>Suggest a gaming mouse?
>>>/v/
But you should just go to logical increment, read, and pick a build directly there and adjust it to your needs.
>Got a MSI 970 Gaming mobo
>Shitty Phenom II x4 955 CPU

Get intel for gaming, way better performance.
Gaming on an AMD CPU is horrible honestly, you get CPU bottlenecked all the time because most games won't use half your cores.
So many games require good single core performance and AMD sucks at that.
I have one of those korean PLS 1440p monitors. It wants a dual-link DVI signal.
Is there anything I can buy to get this to work with non-PC, hdmi devices like game consoles? An HDMI cable does not (I think) provide that dual-link signal, it doesn't use all the pins, so I get no picture.

Your address won't have wordpress in it, but it the wordpress page may redirect to one that does. You can point your domain to anything, even if it's not yours. It's how a popular Twitch stream became known as Hot Gay Dads.
>>55056820
Wait at least four generations because you're too busy winning at real life to play much video games and you're primarily using the GPU for better stuff.
>>55056825
That's the CPU fan, judging by how dirty your desk it's not a surprise.

On Windows 10 I open command prompt by pressing the windows key and typing "cmd" and then enter. But sometimes it omits the "c", and it finds Windows Memory Diagnostic instead, which is one extra enter away from restarting my PC.

Looking a bit into web design because somebody asked if I could create a site for them. HTML & CSS are easy enough, but what else do I need to learn to be able to: 1. there should be a member's list of 200 people that are allowed to sign up for the site and 2. there's 25-30 dates that a certain number of members should be able to rsvp to which creates a list for the admin

every 5 seconds windows says USB device is not recognized
I can't get the messages to stop
I hear the sound when I close my eyes
it's my keyboard I think, but there's nothing I can really do to replace it. will connecting it to a USB hub work?
Just plugged in two fans to my computer. They're both three pin connectors but my motherboard has only four pins. I read somewhere that those are incompatible but my friend says it would work.
Anyway, the one fan that is visible has a very very low rpm, like it tries to have an rpm of 1 but it fails so it just bounces back and forth.
In speedfan i see Fan1 and fan2 which i figure is CPU fan and another one with 4 pin. So i guess none of my fans work and that is because connector mismatch.
Am i right here?
