I foolishly upgraded to El Crapitan 10.11 without a backup. Now my CCleaner doesn't work. Is there an equivalent free tool that will work on 10.11? Thank you.

If I do a surface scan with a program like EasUS Partition Master and it finds ALL sectors are readable and no unreadable errors is that enough to tell me my drive is still good? because I've been getting corrupted files over transfer and I'm starting to think the drive is getting bad sectors but if This thing shows my drive 3 GB is bad-sector free then it's not the drive right?
amd vs intel?

Hello. I have an asus X553M laptop and i was trying to install linux on it i have try ubuntu lubunt arch mint but every time it stacks but when i try to install windows he let me install it. What can be cost that ?
>>51963240
Intel it is, then.
>>51963240
I say AMD. This is coming from a person with not much money to throw away and also I don't game but to lots of multitasking so more cores helps me a lot more.

I've got Unbuffered ECC RAM which I'm trying to test with Memtest86+.
I let it run for a while, but when I came back now the server displayed the usual screen for after it has booted up normally, indicating that the test had been aborted at some point and the server rebooted.
How fucked am I?
I've started another test, btw, but I'm sitting in front of it now just in case something happens.
>>51963438
Could be a faulty power supply
>>51963455
Could that explain random (sometimes rare, sometimes a little more frequent) freezing without any logs at random times?
>>51963455
>>51963469
That is to say it freezes so bad that even watchdog (hardware) doesn't work, and sometimes it switches itself off despite the settings in BIOS being such that it should power on if the power cord is connected to a socket.
>>51963181
Anyone second this
Oh fuck, it just rebooted randomly!
>>51963438
>>51963455
Anyone knows what this icon is? It appeared in the top-right corner of my screen shortly after I opened my computer (running Windows 7), over other windows, and it doesn't appear on screenshots. I checked all users' processes in the task manager, the list of installed programs, did an antivirus scan with Malwarebytes, found nothing weird. When I removed some old program while doing this and got a UAC prompt it disappeared and came back right after, and it finally disappeared after I opened a Firefox window. I guess it might have something to do with Steam as it does weird overlay things, or GeForce Experience, or maybe the monitor itself (an Asus PB278Q) but really I have no idea.
>>51963552
I might be a moron. I'll try and disable watchdog. Might be the reason for the reboot (after I've tested to see if it is).
>>51963552
Normally, Memtest is able to handle errors in RAM without much issue. The issue could also be with your motherboard (power socket).
>>51963596

Sorry for low quality, it's supposed to look like two arrows and a red bar over it, something that could mean "updates are disabled" or something.
>>51963640
Can't see shit. Can't you take screenshot?
>>51963619
I would disable everything that isn't required for the system to boot and see if that fixes it and then re enable them one by one until I find what the issue is.
>>51963640
Sounds like something with your monitor
I can get a FX 8300 from AMDs website for $87
I can sell my FX-6300 on eBay for $90
Is it worth the trouble to buy the 8300?
>>51963677
Yeah, turns out I was a moron. Rebooted exactly when expected.
Samshit tablet with 4.4.2 here:
Chrome slows down to a crawl a few days after installation. Pressing a link takes 5+ seconds to start loading. Bandwidth monitor only shows a few hundred bytes of activity during the slow down. I get this with other browsers too sometimes. Reinstalling solves it for a few days.
Tried factory reset, different routers and configs, wifi security etc. All other devices are fast as fuck like they should be because 100mbit down line.
>>51963668
Like I said it doesn't appear on screenshots.
>>51963686
The weird thing is that it disappeared during the UAC prompt and when I opened a Firefox windows, so I'm not too sure about that.
I am an end user retard, What kills SSDs?
the actual raw volume of writes (e.g 75TB write life mixed large / small writes)
or
smaller write operations in general (IRC logs writing to disk once a second and other gay small shit)?
tl;dr
Are small writes still horrible for modern SSD's or does it all get put into RAM cache on the disk and written in larger blocks now?
>>51963888
no. modern ssd's last longer than hdd's no matter how you treat them.
Is there a way to know the original address for blogs on sites like wordpress or tumblr that are using a custom domain?
>>51963914
Most of the time you can view the page source and find it somewhere in there.
>>51963911
Thanks, I hover between 7-40gb writes a day and was just curious if moving logs off disk would help.
>>51963888
unless you're writing 24/7, it really doesn't matter. you'll replace them long before they break because of wear.
>>51963888
Pretty much how many times each cell gets written to as far as I know. Sooner or later cells start to fail.
I have a 4+ year old ssd with about 15tb writes and its still fine. Its, an old OZC, not exactly renowned for lots of writes.
Pic related, 25000 hours on time. This cost me about £130 back then and today you get 500gb ones for that price.
If you buy one now you will most likely upgrade or replace the ssd before it fails. You get decent warranty today too compared to 5 years ago.
Why usb sticks are always in FAT? Maybe NTFS has an overhead so big that on an -usually- small storage makes a significant percentage?
Also how can I know if an USB2.0 is enough for playing an high quality video? Should I see bit rate of video + audio (the one I'll hear in case of multiple stream)?
So my old Vaio Pro 13 has been replaced and I'm left wondering how I can get use of the PCIe SSD inside it...
The reason why I'm not selling it (the laptop) is because it's kinda half-broken.
>>51963949
That's interesting. Couldn't find much though.
Is it possible to do this?
Or with wifi?

Just google how to open the fucker and get that shit out of it?
>>51964185
Stop being a tsundere
>>51964167
>Is it possible to do this?
Yes. You just need to share the computer's internet connection by allowing other devices to connect through its unused NIC.
>Or with wifi?
Depends on the wireless card, some support broadcast mode and can pretend to be a router, others don't.
Assuming Windows and wired solution, you just go to Network and Sharing Center -> Change adapter settings -> right-click on the adapter connected to the internet -> Properties -> Sharing -> Enable sharing and pick the adapter you want to share.
For wireless it's a little different since you need to set up an SSID first, look up "windows as a hotspot" or something
I have a Razer Blade laptop. I left it in the cold car by accident overnight. Temps were to the point where the windows and rest of the car were frosting up. I took inside and it was forming condensation for 5 or so mins but after that it stopped. Works fine. Dont see any problems. Would there be any problems caused by this.
can I put a whole milk package into the microwave to heat it up instead of doing that mug by mug?
or would it explode?
Not plastic bottle, but those partial paper and plastic thing packages.
>>51964074
>Why usb sticks are always in FAT?
My guess is compatibility. NTFS is fine too, barely any difference for the average user.
>Also how can I know if an USB2.0 is enough for playing an high quality video?
Define high quality. I doubt they will exceed 30mbyte/s but if it does you'll run into stuttering obviously. So yes, look at bitrate.
>>51964236
Not if you let it dry before turning it on again.

Do I need third party software for the wifi?
It seems that all of the 'tutorials' use some random crap for it.
>>51964333
I remember windows not making it particularly easy but it should be possible without 3rd party software.
>>51964333
No, but you need a wireless card/adapter that supports broadcast mode.
Use this guide: http://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-WiFi-Hotspot-Using-the-Command-Prompt
Bit of a long winded post here, because im just going to paste it from the toms hardware post i just made, but im trying to be as thorough as possible in the OP.
So I recently just built a new rig and installed Windows 7 on it. Everything appeared to be working fine for about 3 days, when I awoke this morning I found my monitor was blank. I restarted the computer and got to the windows log in screen where as soon as I logged in, the screen blanked out and I received "DVI No Signal". I immediately went into troubleshooting mode, first trying to use my mobo gpu with the DVI, and received similar results(it appears to be random, though, sometimes it will disconnect after the post screen, sometimes right as i log in, and sometimes after ive been logged in and using applications(browsing and such) for about 10 minutes). 10-15 minutes appears to be the longest time i've been able to be on before it suddenly disconnects.
I have tried 2 different monitors(BenQGW2450 and Asus VE248), all of the input combinations available(dvi/vga/hdmi) and all combinations of the 2 monitors and the onboard gpu and my dedicated gpu(GeForce gtx580). All combinations provide relatively similar results, albeit all random as mentioned in the above paragraph.
This leads me to believe that the issue either lies within the bios, or within the OS itself. As I was writing this post I attempted to leave the PC at the Windows log in screen to see if it would sit idle there, and within about 10 minutes it was randomly disconnected again. I have made NO changes to the BIOS or any changes to display settings within Windows since it was installed, and have the newest drivers from nvidia for my GTX 580.
SPECS:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64b SP1
Gigabyte z97x Gaming 7
Intel I7-4790k
GeForce GTX 580
Samsung EVO 850
XFX 750w PRO
Any ideas? I'm pretty stumped at the moment.
>>51964436
Try reinstalling windows?
Your troubleshooting doesn't leave much left other than motherboard/CPU/ram. CPU and ram being the unlikely culprit in my eyes.
Got a different CPU? Tried different ram or removing one of you have two? Got the latest BIOS?
>>51964278
Can you not just google the machine spec's? If you know where it's supposed to be it don't matter what size the fucker is
>>51964436
Forgot to say, check the event viewer.
>>51964436
Try booting a live Linux distribution. If it's stable its most likely windows being a prick.
What's the maximum temp for an HDD? Pic related shows my external getting upwards of 51C while copying ~109gb of files. Should I be worried? What are the best ways to get the temps cooler? Point a fan at it?
>>51964397
>>51964363
Ok, great, thanks.
Got the wifi working,
How do I change the security on it from wpa2 to wpa/whatever?
And sharing with the NIC automatically allows them to connect with the cable? Haven't tested it yet.
>>51964502
It's supposed to be in a mini PCIe slot, which is a slot which exists in the half-broken laptop I got it from, but there are no such desktop slots.
I did find a mPCIe to USB 3.0 adapter on Ebay, but I have no idea if any of that will work.
>>51964508
Ah yeah, forgot to check that
>>51964516
That was my next logical step, I've got somewhere to be in about 30m though so figured I'd go ahead and post and see if there was something i wasn't seeing before I had to delve into all that shit later in the day.
>>51964491
Thanks for the info, i DO have another cpu i could test, that'll take some time though. I guess I'll try a linux live CD first and see if i just need to reinstal windows.
Not sure if it's bad form to ask this here, but can anyone direct me to the best W7 ultimate 64b iso? Don't need a direct link, but some direction would be nice. I used the July 2015 SP1 magnet from TPB, the uploader appeared to be respectable enough, but you never know with OS iso's. I've ran into a few janky ones in the past and thought i'd finally found a good one, but i guess that's to be decided. Unfortunately I am not a part of any private tracker and I know typically thats the best place for OS's an Applications.
Also update, since i started writing this post I reset cmos and it booted right up no issues and im sitting in windows now for i'd say about 10 minutes. Let's see what happens. I plan on leaving it up when I go so hopefully it wont be disconnected when i get back after a few hours. If this thread is still up i'll report back.
>>51964173
I can't see anything but can access the source page, how can I download the image of the day? I can retrieve https://www.bing.com/az/hprichbg/rb/BraunschweigXmasMarket_EN-US10194812048_1920x1080.jpg but this is the low quality image (if you go on the bottom right you usually see 'Download image' on the info for the full image). I already tried a vanilla browser.
I have Ubuntu Mate on a Raspberry Pi, anyone know how to graphic disable because i fucked up and have it only available for guest only i just wanna get back to the console and fix what i fucked up
>>51964589
Yeah, looks like I'm right. Seeing a lot of this in the adapters description:
"The product only support mSATA Mini PCIE SSD, it dose not support SATA Mini PCIE SSD and PATA Mini PCIE SSD"
How annoyingly complicated.
>>51964565
>How do I change the security on it from wpa2 to wpa/whatever?
Dunno, sorry.
>And sharing with the NIC automatically allows them to connect with the cable?
You can only share one NIC with one other NIC or bridge.
I actually used pic related for my main router for a couple of years, though I don't think you can bridge a wired connection with a wireless connection.
>>51964696
I have Minibian on mine. So I can't help.
>>51964436
If you can ever get a Speccy screenshot, that would be helpful. Otherwise this is more of a Windows/driver issue. If you can get into Windows, wipe the current GPU driver with
http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html
And install a much older version. Also prevent Windows update from updating it.

Just installed new Crimson AMD Driver and was playing with VSR
My native resolution is 1080p,with VSR i can change it to 1440p but the problem is when I change it to 1440 everything just gets blurred
Is there a way i can sharp my display up? or is it normal
>>51964719
Damn, thats one of the Raspbian variants isnt it? How do you like it compared to Linux?
>>51964760
>Is there a way i can sharp my display up?
Yeah, by not downscaling from 1440. It's normal, go back to native resolution.
If you want to use VSR for anti-aliasing, you should do 4k and nothing less.
>>51964760
>My native resolution is 1080p,with VSR i can change it to 1440p but the problem is when I change it to 1440 everything just gets blurred

51C is heavy use hot, but not unsafe hot.
I'm having trouble making my headphones and speakers play the same audio stream simultaneously.
Speakers are plugged into the back panel, and headphones in the front panel. I want them to play the same audio stream at them same time. I got this to work before, but now no matter what I do it just refuses to play the same stream at once, I either have to keep plugging and unplugging the headphones to switch it, or manually change the default playback devices to switch it.
How do I do this?
>>51964799
well yeah but it seems like there is no reason to use VSR?
why would one use it then?
>>51964711
>though I don't think you can bridge a wired connection with a wireless connection.
It's fine, it shows as wired anyway.
Crap, how do I even... I don't know what I'm doing, apparently.

>>51964843
Anti-aliasing is the intended use, read >>51964796
>If you want to use VSR for anti-aliasing, you should do 4k and nothing less.
>>51964843
I think it's more for virtualization of what could be 1440p, or for recording 1440p videos without a quad HD monitor.
It's not for general use, though. As the other anon said if you're trying for some sort of AA in games you should use 4k, because it is a multiple of 1080p. It would reduce blurring. But also note 4k is extremely resource consuming

Checked the event veiwer, Went back to last night around 2 am when I went to bed and everything was dandy, and to about 10:30 this morning which is around the time I woke up. That's where I start seeing me shutting the PC down manually and such so I get critical warnings and such. For the period in between 2:00-10:30 am, The only system errors im seeing is :
The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device WpdBusEnumRoot\UMB\2&37c186b&0&STORAGE#VOLUME#_??_USBSTOR#DISK&VEN_&PROD_&REV_PMAP#070B529459828971&0#.
And the only application error im seeing between that time frame is :
TargetInstance ISA "Win32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.
I don't think those are at all related though, could be wrong but the it just doesn't seem display related at all.
Update: It's been about 25ish minutes now, browsing away, loading up apps n shit to see what happens. Everything looks pretty good so far, nothing recent or current in event logs either.
>>51964751
Thanks alot for the link bud much appreciated. I'll make sure to set windows to not update the graphics drivers, and if it happens again i'll go ahead and wipe and install older drivers. Think ill let it ride for now and see how she acts.

muxed files only go up to 720p
I see, But then doesn't muxing the end result decrease the quality?
>there's some guides on the wiki for converting gifs to webm.
I figured it out.
4chan allow vp8 only.
ffmpeg uses vp9 by default now.
anyway the wiki says that I shoud set audio codec to libvorbis.
Also what about decent bitrate? I've set it to 1M but I end up with a file several times bigger than the original.
>>51965131
I see. My only concern was that im experiencing it on my igpu as well. But i guess if i just remove the driver off the os that would take care of it full stop anyways. Im an idiot.

muxing just copies audio and video stream together, nothing gets converted.
for 1M bitrate you get 1Megabit per second.
based on your file length set it to something that does not exceed the upload limit.

Alright I am a windows baby and retarded.
What is a good program (with a retard friendly GUI) that allows me to select a billion folders as inputs, click a button and it will make a back up? I am literally just dragging individual folders in explorer right now like a retard.
These features would be nice:
- incremental backup
- compression
>>51964185
Stop using png for screenshots.
PNG for accurate lossless images.
JPG for 99% compressed pictures that don't need high resolution.

then control c to copy or control x to cut
then control v to paste (wherever you wanna paste)
I now have three computers in three different locations, 20km apart from eachother and syncing files is becoming problematic. Whats the easiest way to fix this?

Yeah, I know.
But they are in billions places like:
C:\users

etc.
Would be nice to build an input list of directories and files once and just hit a button, have it transfer everything in one operation, compress it, and create and incremental back up.

I don't care, I posted that as proof.
He didn't even have to open it.
I'm trying to download the /h/ image archive from archive.moe's image dump, because for some reason I feel that I want 89GB of hentai.
The dump is in the form of 10 ~10GB tars of images. The tars are named
h-images.tar.aa
h-images.tar.ab
h-images.tar.ac
etc.
I assumed that the .aa, .ab., .ac, ect was just used to alphabetize the archives, but now I'm wondering if it's a way of tying them all together like people used to do with multiple RARs. I'm wondering this because whenever I try to unarchive one I get an "unexpected end of archive" error. By the time I get this error, many images have been unarchived, but I'm guessing the process hasn't been completed, as there are lots of empty folders in the end.
Also, if anybody know the naming scheme they used for the folders in the archive (seems to be four digit numbers for folders, maybe last 4 digits of OP?) or if there's a single torrent for the whole /h/ dump (the only torrent on the site is 20GB, less than a fourth of the total dump.

When was the turnover from fast, responsive, no-bullshit; to bloated, bully, bullcrap?

I've downloaded the most recent ESR version, but haven't tried it out yet. Version 38 I remember was slow as fuck, so most likely I won't be using ESR either. I'm on OS X if it makes a difference.
How in the fuck do you disable Windows automatic disk encryption or whatever the fuck it is? I just spent the last several hours moving from Windows 10 to 8.1 to 7, checking the event viewer, and googling problems. Apparently even if you do a PSID revert to disable the encryption on an SSD Windows, starting with 8/8.1, has it's own bullshit that's enabled automatically even if you have bitlocker turned off. It keeps causing errors and I don't know what the fuck to do. There's even a registry key to disable it but it didn't work.
After building myself quite the decent desktop I decided to install Windows on it because I hadn't used it in a long time and I figured I'd play some games.
Problem is I forgot to take the HDD out before installing it on my SSD and Windows had the great idea of installing the bootloader on the one empty drive I decided not to install the OS on.
I tried to get it on the SSD but to no avail, the whole despite being marked as active, bootable in the Windows disk manager doesn't let me actually partition and install the bootloader in it.
Also, after using it for a few weeks I've noticed how much I need Linux for productivity and I'm thinking of shrinking the SSD partition and installing something light in there.
Anyway, here comes the retarded question. Would GRUB be able to completely replace the Windows booting partition that's currently parked in my other drive?
>>51963240
budget?
I'd get a 5820 if I were you.
>>51966493

>>51966406
It's not enabled by default, your version of Windows is corrupted probably by Malware.
>>51966460
>Would GRUB be able to completely replace the Windows booting partition that's currently parked in my other drive?
Could it? Yes. Should you? No. The minute you realize you no longer need Linux you can't remove Linux without destroying GRUB and your Windows partition. You could use a disk clone utility and clone the boot partition onto an empty partition you create beforehand on the SSD. I doubt that will work, you will probably have to reinstall Windows.
>>51966541
They're so similar you wouldn't see a difference. I like the Gigabyte one more, though
How much can i get for a 6 month used gtx 750ti if i were to sell it now?
>>51966739
I'm not sure. I verified the hash with the MSDN Downloads and it checked out. Not to mention that it was also happening on a clean install with an official Windows 10. From what I've found on Google it's just a common problem on Crucial SSDs. Someone suggested changing the registry value before I get to the disk partition manager during the Windows installation but I don't know how to do it. Every time I tried it just showed that it "couldn't find the path specified" when I tried to edit the registry key.
>>51966538
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/bTzQmG
>>51966858
Did you try disabling it in PC settings? If you're willing to re install disable secure boot. That should prevent Windows from being able to do any encryption
I read the sticky and I know this isn't a troubleshooting board, but I figured this thread was the appropriate venue to channel all the retards like me. I've tried googling it but all the results tell me the same thing and that thing doesn't work.
My system time in the bottom right reads the correct time. However almost every other program reads the wrong time. Steam timestamps half the posts 3 hours earlier than it is, chrome seems to have a similar issue with timestamping (websites will tell me a post that just happened happened "three hours ago"), my screen dimmer triggers 3 hours early, etc.
I'm fucking stumped. I've tried resetting my system time but it didn't do anything. I reformatted my PC a few weeks ago so I seriously can't think of what it could be. Googling it just gives me people troubleshooting for their windows clock being wrong.
>>51966780
>They're so similar you wouldn't see a difference. I like the Gigabyte one more, though
I don't fucking understand this shit though, when I installed W10 I had both the HDD and the SSD formatted and plugged in and I chose the SSD for everything but it still decided my boot partition had to be on the HDD for some diabolic reason and I've been trying to generate another on the SSD but to no avail.
>>51966921
I disabled secure boot. I've tried everything. This is absolute bullshit and it's driving me insane.

Is there any possible way to use a laptop screen as a monitor for game consoles/other computers? I was thinking about buying a monitor for my consoles, but if I could just use my laptops screen I could save some cash.
>>51966945
Windows does it for autistic reasons. You can't create a new one on the SSD. The only one you have is on the HDD, besides moving it over, there is nothing you can do
>>51965783

How come 2 980 ti's have trouble running games at 1080p
>>51966972
I'm not exactly sure what it is yet. I believe it's something called Microsoft eDrive that's causing the problem and it's related to bitlocker but has some sort of different implementation starting with Windows 8. I'm on a copy of 7 Ultimate right now with bitlocker and those same Auth/Write errors aren't appearing in the event viewer right now. I'm about to try a standard 8.1 installation with no bitlocker right now though.

SLI via PCIe wasn't a thing then. not until at least 2004.
>>51967064
You can just plug it in later. Just make sure you go to "Disk Management" and initialize it though so it shows up under Windows Explorer.
So I'm using chromium on loonix and after a while it hangs, well not really hang but slows down to the point it not longer renders pages.
It seems to happen more often when my laptop has gone to sleep, but just having it running also does the same thing, no memory leak or high cpu, just slows the fuck down for no reason.
any clues? btw this is a X120e
>>51966999
Can I even move it? The new one I tried to make I can't set bootable since I already have an active partition on the SSD which is the C volume but I can't that mark as unactive because it tells me it's not a fixed MBR device or something.
How would I go to move it over? Gparted? DD? Some other Windows incredible piece of software? A ballpoint pen?
I mean I'm pretty sure that even if I did copy Windows wouldn't let me set that as the bootable partition as it doesn't with the one I'm trying to make, no?
I get paid to administrate systems, I'm a computer engineer and I can't get my consumer OS to do the simplest thing I want it to do, such joy.
And thanks anyway buddy.

I'm a network admin and Windows baffles me everyday. You could try a program like EaseUS (paid) or Minitool partition wizard (free) and try cloning the partition like I suggested before. It won't work with GPT disks though. and I don't have a lot of faith it will work desu
I'm not 100% sure what you should clone based on your picture. I understand you have tried to recreate it but obviously it still resides somewhere on the HDD. It may be that second 100MB partition, and possible the bootmgr file on the main HDD partition
>>51967250
The 100MB Healthy Efi System Partition in Disk 0 is the one I'm booting from at the moment, D: is my attempt on recreating it but failing miserably. I think I'll just leave it like this and use a VM for productivity since I have a really beefy machine, I don't really want to get angry at a machine.

Touch your case every now and then.
Don't build over carpet or rub yourself against fuzzy things.
Do not force your CPU, it should 'land' there.
Spend time doing cable management.
Keep your mobo manual at hand, don't plug things you're not sure about it. Avoiding mistakes is easier than troubleshooting.
All in all it's pretty easy and there's a very very low chance that you fuck up provided you don't have some kind of upper body motor impairment.
