Hey guys, I've got a new motherboard and processor in the mail. I tried to upgrade my PC with a new GPU, but everything else was so old that it wouldn't work. I've heard that after I hook up my new parts, my OS might not work. Is this true? How can I prevent this? I have Windows 7.

So, my mouse broke, and I'm think of getting either a SteelSeries Rival or a Razer Deathadder. What are the pros and cons of each?
I really like palm grip and preferentially large mouses. No, I don't actually care about gaymen since the only games I play nowadays are on the controller.
I have a 1tb hdd and just bought a 256gb ssd. My plan is to move my windows and arch installations over to the ssd and have the 1tb drive sat in the computer with files for both OSs to access. I also plan to back up the ssd installations and hdd files onto a single 3tb external drive.
Is this a good idea? Anything I should know before starting? I'm very paranoid about moving installations (esp windows), and having windows and Linux booting from the same drive

Since when? Since 10? Doesn't 10 still have DOS code in it.
>>51574071
Windows 7 might not like your new motherboard SATA/AHCI chipset, Win7 can be a bitch with that. That said, you can try booting in safe mode when you get your new hardware installed, or try recovery mode.
>>51574619
since windows xp 64bit edition.
DOS got ditched with windows NT.
>>51574692
>WinXP 64bit.
I have so bad memories from that
>ditched with Windows NT
But Windows 10 belongs to Windows NT family according to Wikipedia.
My point is to guestimate how ancient software is the base of WIndows 10.
>>51574487
Get an APU laptop then. Won't be half as fast as your desktop but at least it won't have intel hd graphic performance.
>>51573807
pls
>>51574716
yes, but NT only supported DOS through virtualization.
you can still run 32bit applications on a 64bit windows today because it ships with 32bit libraries aswell, see WoW64
>>51574743
NT itself is from the 1989.
So Windows 10 is based on 26 year old code.

I have a wordpress site up on a local server for development. Everything works fine on windows but on my Linux laptop (Debian) and on my phone (Android) the sites styles are missing?
I have tried to do some digging but all the answers I came up with are 8-10 years old and no long applicable
>>51575030
They are missing when hosting on linux, or when you look at it from a different computer when it's hosted on windows?
>>51575030
check the script for handles on different browsers. i.e. mobile requests, non-html5 compatible devices.
there should be a default style it reverts to, if not then the browser itself will revert to one
>>51575030
Fonts?
>>51575064
he means when he looks at them from a linux distro or android browser (im assuming chrome?)
phone browsers automatically send a handle for the site to load mobile view.

I bought a microfiber cloth to clean my computer, but do I need any kind of product to put on ?
Because when it's dry it doesn't clean shit on my screen.
>>51575068
>>51575105
is this a wordpress thing? never heard about mobile browsers sending "handles".
>>51575125
do you reference any stylesheets and put your absolute path into some config, like C:\Users\...etc?
>>51575125
not a clue. i just know enough to know whats happening when it happens from a user perspective.
>>51575146
depends what you stain it with. water is adequate for most things, maybe detergent for oils.
if you want a good clean wipe though, nothing beats 100% isopropyl alcohol, just gotta do it fast before it dries though.
>>51575159
look at any wikipedia page, once on your phone, once on your desktop. tell me the underlying script looks the same.
most pages just end up hosting a seperate domain for mobile access

How would you utilize polish notation in order to solve math problems in a program? I imagine that the first step is to create an arraylist for the factors and another for the operators. How can you get the compiler to interpret the expression correctly?
>>51575146
For a lcd screen you may want to look into a professional cleaning solution. If you don't have any try:
- dampening the cloth with isopropyl alcohol
- turn the monitor off and let it cool down
- Wipe the screen with the damp cloth (very slowly)
- Dry monitor with clean rag
- Wait for it to dry completely and then turn it back on
If that doesn't work then I suggest looking into a LCD cleaning solution but be careful

I have to make a random number generation circuit (currently attempting an implementation of a 4-bit LFSR) that will produce random number below a certain number, but those numbers need to correspond to an amount of time that will dictate when a decade counter setup starts and a light comes on. I really don't know where to start and I'm worried this isn't a proper implementation of the LFSR.

>>51576486
>38khw
kilowatt-hours (kwh) is a measure of energy, not power.
>>51576536
I think he meant kWh/h
>>51576177
Looks like one of your inputs is off. Take a look at google schematics for 4 bit lfsr. Any reason you are using the shift register instead of just using flip flops with a clock signal? If you just use flip flops you can easily just copy a schematic from Google. It's a very well known circuit.
How do I pass a two-dimensional array into a function? C++
>>51576610
>38000 watt computer
No, I doubt that's what he meant
>>51576619
One of the particulars of the project was chip count, though we weren't given a hard and fast maximum. If the flip-flop level implementation would be better I'll just do that.
Now that I think of it, flip-flop chips are usually in packages of four, right? So that would be the ideal. I can also manipulate the latch behavior to how I'd like it that way as well.
I suppose my main question at this point is how does one take a 'random' 4-bit number and turn it into an amount of time for a circuit to wait before passing on signals?
>>51576642
>not having a 500 ~800W cluster
Alright pleb.
No, but seriously, I was just shitting around, I've never really been great with electrical units.

>>51577537
If you want the performance benefits you should connect it directly to a SATA port.
>>51577568
if you unplug the other side you'll find it's regular sata with a smaller power connector
you can get break-out cables that you can use to connect it to any desktop
>>51577568
Unplug the plastic bit from the back of the drive you retard

On a related note, I assume RAM sticks for laptops won't be compatible with a desktop mobo due to size and even if there are adapters it's not really worth it?
Also, and this is going beyond stupid, if the CPU on the desktop I'm gonna build dies for whatever reason, I can't put the laptop's i7-3612QM in there as a temporary replacement, right? Different sockets and shit?
Got an Asus VG248qe for my first PC but when I turn on the screen it says "DVI no signal" and the power light turns orange. The pins seem fine as does the rest of the computer. Is there a way to determine if my PC is working fine, and whether the DVI signal error is the fault of the PC or the monitor?
>>51574071
I've had good luck with imaging to accomplish a Mobo switch. The Windows key crap is easy to do, you just call into their automated phone system. You can also install HDD drivers during the image setup, so that should be fine. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
>>51577727
Adapters are like 10 bucks
Yes, is uses a different socket
>>51577727
there are indeed SO-DIMM (laptop ram) to DIMM (desktop ram) adapters as well
whether it's worth it depends on how much the adapters cost vs. equivalent desktop ram
not sure about the cpu

This can't possibly be cost effective...
Unless you're using it for testing or something.
>>51577893
they do have to be the same type (as in, DDR > DDR, DDR2 > DDR2, etc), but different speeds will work, all sticks will run at the lowest common speed
>>51577941

I was previously running in 1024x768, and my new monitor is 1920x1200.

Okay, so, >>51576177 here.
Made some developments while implementing the LFSR at the flip-flop level.
For one, I don't know how to properly seed it so it'll have an initial value. After that I need to figure out how to have it be compared to the max value and if it fails that I need the LFSR to be queried for information again.
I think the issue is stability, I don't know how to hold the values of a quickly clocked LSFR.
I also don't know how to take a 4-bit number and use it as a countdown until an LED is lit and a counter is started.

So I purchased a book through google play because it was far cheaper than getting a physical copy, and this type of book is not something that is common or easy to find.
I assumed I would be able to download it as a .pdf, even with DRM protection that google play has as I've bought other ebooks from them that allowed me to do just that, but this one for some reason is only viewable through a browser or through the google play books app.
Is there any way I can create a .pdf or extract the one that is displayed directly from my browser? I've already tried to figure out how to do this without any luck.

Ever since I installed my new cpu and mobo Steam has been freezing constantly. The weird thing is that the first time I install it it works perfectly fine and it only starts freezing after restarting my PC. I've tried solving this problem but I see no one else having it. What the hell is going on?
>>51578968

In my experience, electric tape falls off after a few weeks. Surprisingly, the best thing I've used so far is the sticky part of a postit note.
So. I've been using qBittorent for a few years now and I have some issues with it.
Firstly, when downloading big torrents the thing almost never gets downloaded 100% and I'm forced to spend a fuckload of time doing a forced recheck.
Secondly. Whenever I close the program without first disabling the torrent I have to do a full recheck of all the torrents I'm downloading.
Are these qBitt issues or more torrenting issues in general?

How's this for a PC build? My budget is £1200 but I need space for peripherals which I haven't thought about yet.
Also, I found a GTX 980 for £380 ($570), is it so cheap for a reason? Will it be really loud or is it an old model or something? Should I buy it or wait for cyber monday

You're only going with 250GB storage space, you know that right?

>>51581257
I suppose. I'm absolutely new to building PCs, so how do I make sure my os is on the ssd?
And a really stupid question, if I have 20GB left on both and want to download a 40GB file, will it still download fine or split it so it wouldn't work very well ?
>>51581302
If I remember right you just tell the install software to use your SSD.
And AFAIK you have to download the file to one drive or the other, so it wouldn't download at all.
>>51581329
OK cheers man, gonna add a HDD although not totally sure which.
Is the rest of the build OK? How about the GTX980 on >>51581200

>I've heard that if one drive crashes on a raid then you lose everything.
You've heard right, RAID0 is dangerous in that regard. It doesn't even have to be a drive crashing, even the RAID controller freaking out for whatever reason can have the same effect.
RAID0 has its uses with the theoretically doubled read/write speeds, but NEVER EVER keep ANYTHING important on a RAID0 array.
I've had my boot drive on a RAID0 array for the past 9 years, and I've seen my fair share of ups and downs. For instance, getting a new motherboard means losing all data on your RAID0 unless you're using a PCI-e controller, or you're going to a different motherboard with the exact same controller.
Rule of thumb is, if you're running RAID0, don't put anything you can't afford to lose on it. Aside from that, if you want faster read/write speeds, go nuts.
What the fuck those numbers are suppose to mean?
>>51581427
Don't think you will get that many problems.
I mean, Fallout 4 is a terribly made piece of shit held together with scotch tape so you are gonna get some slowdowns. It's inevitable when it comes to Bethesda games.
For reference, I run the game fine with only 4gb DDR3, GTX 760 and a i5-750.

>>51581509
Does it matters if one stick of ram is different than the other one in those numbers if I were to buy a new one? Like, will it be any problems or incompatible?
>>51581517
As long as it's DD3 you should be safe.
>>51581517
Generally you want identical sticks of ram because they'll have the same architecture/software. they must be ddr3 though.
>>51581517
There's a very, very small chance that you might run into compatibility problems when using different RAM sticks alongside each other.
But most of the time (like in 90%+ cases), the fastest RAM will just happily underclock itself to match the slowest sticks and everything will be fine.

Does anyone know what is causing this? It continues through out the video but switches around. Chrome, Chrome canary and Chromium all do this. My video card drivers are all up to date and both Firefox and Edge show the videos just fine. I'm on Windows 10, newish build. Steam for some reason also has this stuff in the trailer in the store place.
Guys...this kinda scares me.
What do? What's even happenings?

Have you tried forcing the video to either use flash or html5?
Could be one of those two fucking up.
In RAM, I understand it works as blocks of storage. Does each access location of a RAM only store 1/0's or the whole number.
For example, the number 23 is 10111. would that be stored across 5 cells or would the whole number be put into one cell?
The core issue people have with general threads are they have nothing to say. They are lazy thread-craft.
The basic rule should be the OP post must have something of value to it,even if that value is merely asking a question.
A general thread often has the exact same OP post over and over, and contributes nothing to discussion, and stimulates no further discussion. It simply says "here: talk about this thing. I give you nothing, but I want you to provide me with entertaining content".
The rules already touch on this:
>The quality of posts is extremely important to this community. Contributors are encouraged to provide high-quality images and informative comments.
A general thread OP does none of this.
All 4chan needs is better posts and mods who actually care about the concept. If a person posts a thread that's bereft of content it should be deleted, simple as that.

Is a 4x2TB RAID5 array safe? I'm not considering it my "final backup", but rather, people tell me terabyte-scale RAID5 arrays are bad ideas and almost certain to never work. I'm new to the whole RAIDing thing other than RAID10; but I need those extra 2TB. Is RAID5 worth it?

What do?
Recently I pirated a steam game, and I feel like every since I installed it, my computer has gone to shit. I uninstalled it the same night, but the problems didn't stop.
First off, programs randomly seem to be getting fucked up, for example, when I try to start OBS, it gives me an error message when I click "start stream" until I reinstall it. It never did this before. Also, when trying to load up a certain game on steam, I can play it the first time, then next time I try to load it before turning off my computer, I get an error message that a file is missing until I restart my computer.
Next, my CPU (or something else?) seems to have completely gone to shit. It is lagging like it has never done before, and it gets to the point where my speakers start to making crackling noises for some reason.
And the last noticeable problem is that whenever I click "shut down", my computer doesn't shut down most of the time. It just sits like it was before, except I can no longer access control panel or a few other things, everything else works fine, I end up having to shut it down with the power button and potentially losing things I had up.
This is probably too lengthy for a thread like this, but I have run out of ideas, I've scanned for viruses with MSE and MalwareBytes and neither could find the problem. Do I just reformat and hope for the best, or is this a hardware issue that is unrelated to the pirated game that was probably a virus

Is there any real reason not to Seasonic power cables with a Corsair power supply? Eg to hard drives, video card, etc
They all say "use cords for this power supply only" etc but I don't see the difference if it's all just identical copper wire.

>>51583062
Dude, I've been having the EXACT problems recently and I can't for the life of me figure out what started it. Buzzing noise over sound, occasionally lag, occasional CPU spikes, Foobar and other programs wiping settings like foobar library locations.

Are there any good cracks for Lightroom 6 that won't install fucking malware on my PC?
I had the chingliu Lightroom 5, but only LR 6 has HDR stacking built in (in LR 5 you have to use Photoshop as well, I'd like to only have one installed)
>inb4 use a free as in freedom alternative
I do that for Photoshop already and it's fine but almost every free RAW editor alternative either doesn't have batch, doesn't have HDR bracketing (forcing me to use a separate tool that produces meh results), or is OK but is extremely tedious with no batch whatsoever (what I've been using, ChasysDraw). I used the Lightroom CC trial and it's been perfect.

Question about home internet:
Right now I have my main PC connected to my router through ethernet (cord runs under my house, was a bitch to set up). I'm trying to add a second computer in my room and need it to have an ethernet connection as well but I really dont want to run another cable. I have an old linksys WRT45G router lying around and was wondering if I turned that into a hub (or repeater or whatever) would I be able to have both comps run through the router with ethernet. Basically, can I just make the router into a hub and have 2 computers suck internet out of it without losing speed from speed from either computer.
>>51584513
nevermind. Solved it. Plugged the ethernet from original router into port 1 on new router and then plugged in an ethernet from port 4 into my comp.

I have a 144Hz monitor. I updated my GPU drivers, and I tried messing around with the settings (pic related).

Would a 250 dollar pair of floorstanding speakers or bookshelf speakers be better?
Not sure if there's a price where bookshelf are better for the money soundwise.

Anyone have recommendations? Thanks

HELP SAVE MY SSD /g/
I have a 2009 OCZ Vertex Series (Indilinx controller)
I had to do a hard reset on my PC because it crashed, and this caused my SSD to no longer be recognized in my PC's BIOS. I tested the SSD in other PCs and in an external SATA enclosure as well and none of these could detect the drive either so it's definitely the SSD.
I've read that my SSD has gone into a "panicked, sleep mode" due to the power interruption. I know that it's not bricked because when I put the jumper in the SSD to enable engineering mode, it then shows up in the BIOS, but I can't access my files in this mode.
When in normal mode (without the jumper), it cannot be detected but the HDD indicator LED on my PC is a solid blue and stays that way.
Do you guys know how I can at least access a read-only mode so I can save some files that are on the drive? I know there are some tricks that can wake up the SSD and make it stop panicking like a bitch.

Your laptop probably has a 3.5mm TRS socket. I'd need to know more to guess what the "big thick connector" is.
>>51585626
I was using that driver sweeper that gets rid of unwanted drivers or old drivers from your computer. Drivers from your graphics card
>>51585661
That sounds like a great way to break things. Can't you just uninstall the unnecessary drivers?
>It did its restart and then my display went black. I can't see nothing. My computer is fine cause I hear the audio and everything like before but I just can't see anything.
Reboot into safe mode, install a new graphics driver.
