Hey I've run into problems with my first pc build a couple days back but I haven't been able to solve it. My computer doesn't enter the bios/uefi when I turn it on. Instead it just turns off after a few seconds. pic related is what I've done so far? I have put in my gpu and network adapter cause of this.
What I've installed so far:
mobo- gigabyte z170xp-sli
cpu- i5 6400
ram- Crucial 16GB (2x8GB)
storage- kingston 60GB SSD, seagate baracuda 2TB HDD
If the guy with crappy MSI A68HI-AC still here,
Please try with a different stick of ram (different, not what you have) .
If no good,then get professional tech support.
>>53690403
Can you post a clearer picture of the motherboard all wired up? (ie shine a flashlight inside)
>>53690416
I don't have a flash light but I'll and get some better pictures.
>>53690403
Try disconnecting all sata drives.
Try with different slot of ram,check each stick independently.
Do a cmos reset.
Check monitor.
Can you tell us bios error beep if you have case speaker?
>>53690373
mob mentality at work guys liberate those cats from that box to the big cardboard box in the sky
>>53690403
Why is your case nazi colors?
Do touhou characters have numbers associated with them? Like one character is 20 and another is 21?
>>53690403
>My computer doesn't enter the bios/uefi when I turn it on
RMA the mainboard, it's probably ded rom/uefi.
I want kittens so bad.

Should I switch to linux? I am sick of Windows 10. But I have a file server also with tons of shares accessible to domain credentials. Not sure if linux would be able to authenticate to the shares.

Standoff for what?
Switching from Z77 to B75 Chipset, both Intel 1155 Socket boards. Will I need to reinstall/wipe my hdd?
>>53690589
Answer this - >>53690549
It looks like your motherboard isn't aligned with the standoffs. Did you remove them and place them in the proper spots in your case to match your motherboard form factor? Possible that you are grounding something?
>>53690620
Only need to reinstall windows.

Before I plugged in the power cables and stuff I installed my gpu, then took it out. Do you think I may have reset my bios because of that?
>>53690631
How would I go about only doing that? Just boot from a USB install it like normal?
>>53690601
these
>>53690645
Yeah.
Do you have a single partition for data and windows?
>>53690628
Ohh that. Yeah I screwed them in myself but I noticed one came a little lose (i think) so I tightened all them again. I'll turn off my pc from it's eternal automated restart and check again.

>>53690665
Sorry forgot pic.
>>53690672
Uh...your data gone nigga.
If you have a separate hdd then copy data on that,then reinstall. Else you gone nigga.
Remember, always make atleast two partition on windows drive
Sorry I didn't reply earlier but your comments didn't have the (you) on it so I missed it.
>>53690441
I try all that if I can't fix this wihtout taking things out. But yeah, I think I'll mostly likely have to try that.
>>53690468
It's cheapest I could get that would look good and match my gpu.
>>53690707
Beep codes help in these scenarios.
>>53690700
Whelp rip nigga
>>53690744
Yeah like I mentioned earlier I can't hear any beeping. I only hear the revving of fans/psu.
>>53690772
You have to install a case speaker to hear beep,also called piezo buzzer.
>>53690665
Yeah it's all in tight and good. The mobo isn't loose.
>>53690770
Don't you or any friend have a spare hdd?
How much important data on ssd?
>>53690785
Give me sec I might have gotten that with my case. I didn't know what that was for at first but I'll post pic.
>>53690801
You get one small speaker with most cases.
>>53690700
>>53690672
You could use a Linux USB to backup data you know.

>>53690801
>>53690785
Is pic related what you were talking about.
>>53690836
Yes!
It goes where you installed the power and reset connectors.
Through a series of fucked events I have to get a new motherboard, I'm using an fm2+ mini itx board should I just pay upgrade or just buy the same mobo I currently have
>>53690829
Where will he backup data if he has no spare hdd,and has to reinstall on ssd
>>53690863
I should have specified I plan on streaming and gaming so, is an i5 worth it over my 860K
>>53690863
No video display?
>>53690874
Create partition in gparted>save stuff there/use the partition to install windows.
>>53690861
Over here?
>>53690884
I give up man
>>53690879
Yes.
>>53690885
What if data is very large,he might not be able to copy all of it.

What would you recommend assuming I have 300 dollars and an itx board with wifi is a requirement
Hey guys. Android noob question here.
Should I flash CM13 or AOKP on my Galaxy S5 International? Anyone have any experience with these on their S5?
Thanks.

Right bottom corner,F panel.
>>53690913
MSI Z97 PC Mate and I5-4460/4590.
Want a M2 Slot? GA-Z97X-UD3H.
Built in Wifi is really bad, get an ASUS WIFI adapter for $15.
>>53690913
You already have wifi,just remove the m.2 wifi card from your msi mobo and put in new mobo.
>>53690929
With the power switch, reset switch etc right?
>>53690946
Yeah, read the manual page for front panel,it should list the pins for speaker.
>>53690942
My wifi on my msi Board was fantastic much better than any adapter I've used
>>53690945
What about module for the antennas
>>53690919
Why not try both?
>>53690956
Gigabyte got bracket thing which has the labels and shit on it. It makes connecting cables very easy. I connected the speaker in. Should I now turn on the computer to check what the problem is?
>>53690959
Remove the whole wifi module with antenna screw.
You should have got professional help on msi mobo before buying new one.
>>53690982
Yeah.
You SHOULD hear atleast one beep.If not reinstall speaker in reverse order on f panel.
>>53690990
I haven't bought anything yet. It just seems like I'd be putting in more money into it than is worth you know
>>53690942
These would great if they were available in itx
>>53690982
Yes, and if it beeps tell us how many beeps
>>53691007
Ok I'll try it now. btw I disconnected my SSD and HDD.
>>53691008
Just get it checked and ask them how much would it cost to fix,before fixing.
Also demand to know what exactly was wrong.
>>53691028
It does not matter if they are disconnected.
We concentrate on display currently.
>>53691045
Unfortunately I living in a shit city in the Midwest so there's not really any speciality places to be honest I think /g/ and myself are doing as good a job as any local place here
>>53691011
>>53691007
It has 5 long (I think it's long, atleast it sounds like it, I'll google to see how long it's supposed to be) beeps before the computer turns off by itself.
>>53691062
Man can't you buy a small case speaker/buzzer?
Its very cheap,can be bought at any electronic store,also called piezoelectric buzzer.
It will tell you exactly what's wrong.
>>53691075
Yup it's long beep. 5 long beeps. Wiki says my cpu is fucked. Is that true?
>>53691075
Your mobo manual should have the page for beep codes.
>>53691115
Not always true.
Can you check with a different cpu,maybe by taking your case to a store,or cpu of friend?
>>53691123
Cool let me check.
>>53691142
I don't have a spare cpu and after my parents might not want me to tinker with the pc. I'll take it to a repair man and ask him for a qoute and get him to tell me detailed issue so that I can get it repaired by warranty.
But first I'll do this>>53691123
>>53691112
But the system is booting into Windows, would there still be post code beeps saying somethings wrong even if it successfully boots?
>>53691163
Yes, it happens, you might not believe, but it does.
I just got Thinkpad T400. I bought an HDD for it. When I run the disk checking utility in the BIOS, I get "Error Code: 0000 Read Verification Failed". I decided to install Windows 7 and it installed and seems to work fine, but I still get the error. I ran chkdsk from the CD after installing and it doesn't find any problems.
So, what's going on here? Should I return the HDD or what?
>>53691189
I'll look around for a case speaker, I'm surprised mobo or case didn't come with one
>>53691195
What do you mean "disk checking utility in bios "
Did you reset bios?

>>53691254
>>53691142
>>53691123
From whatever I've found from my research I can see that it related to the cpu. I think the mobo pins maybe bent. Should I contact gigabyte or newegg or should I go to a repariman to get an assurance of what's going on?
>>53691316
I'll also note that sometimes it gets past this screen and ends up at pic related doing nothing.

Do you have another CPU around?
Yours might be dead.
>>53691453
5 long beeps.
Question, you only have 1 RAM stick?
>>53691460
Nah this is the only I got. Some places say it's the cpu, others say it's the mobo cpu pins and others say my ram isn't inserted properly. Dude I don't know even know wtf to do. gigabyte hasn't even published anything about this shit.
>>53691481
2 rams. 2x8GB ram, I think it was 2133Hz. It's lowest speed available on a DDR4.
>>53691487

>>53691564
Ohh. I do remember shitting myself and messing up one of my ram. I took of the warranty sticker and when I found out I pulled it out from the mobo straight away. I'm not sure if I unlocked that pin/or whatever it's called.

I've got have dinner right now so I'll check after probably (I'm sweating pretty heavily so not sure). But I checked one of my ram and i didn't get any beeps but no bios also, so I'll hcek=ck that again. Thanks for all the help so far though, I think I should be fine now that I know what exactly is the problem.

FX-8350 for a file server.
Is this a good idea?
(Intel is not an option because botnet.)
>>53692757
Bad idea because it uses a lot of energy for something that doesn't do anything CPU intensive. You could spend less
>>53692780
didn't mean to post yet fak u captcha
>>53692757
I'd use an AMD 5350 AM1 cpu, for the incredibly low tdp. an 8350 is way more power than you'll need for a file server and uses way too much power at the same time.
I'm probably going to purchase the BenQ XL2411Z, tied for the cheapest 144Hz monitor. All parts but this and a GPU have been ordered. Is there anything I need to worry about, like the specs on the GPU, to ensure this thing actually displays at 144Hz. I've noticed that the specs on most budget GPU's only rate their DVI/Displayport at 60Hz (although at res higher than 1920x1080). Is there anything I need to look out for? Should I connect with DVI or Displayport?

So I'm going to be dual booting into Windows, only purpose being basically games. Is there any way it can be tweaked as to reduce time spent trying to boot into Windows and play pretty much anything?
Or, let's say, since it's going to be using Steam anyways, should it just basically boot into big picture mode straight? I basically want to use that Windows installation as SteamOS with better compatibility.
How capable is an integrated graphics unit? Say, Intel HD 530. Is it good enough to render 1080p video smoothly? What else?

I'm using a Celeron G1840T and can play 4k 60fps h264 videos just fine.
1080p60 VP9/h265 decoding doesn't work smoothly because it's not gpu accelerated.

Have you had experience with Windows 7 and Skylake processors? I heard that Microsoft announced an issue with USB input devices on Skylake machines. I need this matter cleared before I go out and buy new hardware, because there's no way I'm installing Windows 8 or 10 on my desktop.
Dear /sqt/.
What is the latest safe driver version for Nvidia GTX 660?
I remember that I had to stop at one version with 460 before, since newer ones were dangerous enough to cause bluescreens and even physical damage.
I still use version provided on CD with the card itself.
>>53694980
So it would depend if my carrier has email gateways?
>>53695038
Why do you need Skylake. get a cheaper Haswell i5
>>53695038
You can still install Windows 7 normally if you have a SATA dvd drive and a PS/2 keyboard.
If you really need to use a USB drive or keyboard then ASSrock has a tool to modify a Windows 7 iso to give it the right drivers that it still works.
Linux + Windows 10 or Linux + Windows 7?
I'm not concerned about the spying, I'm concerned about performance on a slightly recent computer.
>>53695186
I considered this, but getting a CPU from 2 "generations" ago means compatible replacements would be more difficult to find when the time comes. I'd get a Broadwell, but I don't see any being sold in my country. Only Haswell and Skylake. So I'd rather have the latter.
>>53695228
I see. I forgot that a USB installation would have issues as well. Is ASRock's solution limited to their own motherboards, or is it a global solution?
>>53695298
just go with linux + win10, and use classic shell to get that seven feel, because if you use seven it's a security issue because you have to disable automagic updates to avoid being forcibly upgraded to win10

calm down anon
it was just a hypothetical question but still qurious of peoples opinion on here. dioes it have to be virus_undercover.pdf.exe or can just .pdf work ? is the reader itself the vulnerability?
>>53695378
I'm worried about just one thing: Forced updates overwriting the bootloader somehow. Would that happen? I just don't want to find out I cannot boot into linux anymore because Windows 10 was too comfortable.
Also my only purpose for W10 is games so I don't really care much about the menus or anything like that. I just want to fire up steam or whatever and then reboot when needed.
if I'm looking at getting a power bank, what brands are generally considered good?
Also what kind of things should I be looking for in a powerbank?
>>53695513
that shouldn't be an issue, but if it happens just boot a livelinux and use grub rescue or something like that, or in windows go into msconfig and there's an option for how long to wait to choose what os to boot(I don't know whether or not it recognizes and can boot linux though)
What's a good site for paid apks?
I have a windows iso i want to install on my pc, but i don't have a cd-rom, how can i make a boot of it? problem is i know how to use the windows tool but i just have ubuntu installed and i don't know any programs to do the same

I intend to overclock but i dont know which pieces to get and if someone could help me with pcpartpicker id be really glad. I only intend to play on 1080p and to run games like ds3,sf5,gta etc.

My disk is constantly on 100% activity. Opening up a file explorer or any other file takes a long time. The HDD Health tool however says the disk is in perfect condition. I even reinstalled the OS.
What is the cause? What else can I do?
>>53696150
check in resource manager what keeps writing to it.
are you running out of RAM?
I have an opportunity to change my used 4s to a brand new 5s, however the screen is a bit yellowish for some reason. I've read that it's because it's new and goes away in time but others say it's a myth because apple sources its screen for various entities and this one is yellowish
>>53696169
No the RAM is at 10-30%. The thing is the most write/read is done by system (svchost).
I even checked if updates are being downloaded but it's not the case.
>>53695691
You can build a rig that will last you 3-5 years for 900$
Use the remaining 500$ for a good monitor, mouse and keyboard
>>53696192
svchost is a service host, so a service is keeping the disk busy.
try process explorer to find the correct process behind that service.
if I plug an aux cable into the mic in on my computer, is there a way to record the audio off of whatever's on the other side (presumably audio out)?

Yesterday my Ubuntu MATE installation blew up and I was stuck on tty1 until I could wipe and fresh install 16.04. It happened as I switched from Marco to Compiz on my Thinkpad T420s. I understand Compiz is GPU accelerated so do I need a discrete card to use it? I allowed proprietary drivers for the integrated intel graphics as well and it didnt help. Any input would be much appreciated
is this stupid? Am I doing this all wrong?
I feel like this is needlessly stupidly formatted.#!/bin/bash

Hello /g/, I'm in need of a laptop thats not complete shit, is somewhat durable, and can run at least some gaymens. Budget 800€

Look at the older alienware laptops. I think the premium prices for them have mostly been diluted due to current-gen alternatives.
>>53696533
Haha, no problem, I forgot to remove the picture before posting. I'm running a home server and that's how I solved it, it's not very efficient but it works™.
If it doesn't though, you can always try downloading the movie to your phone, re-encoding or setting up a media server like MediaTomb, UMS, Plex, etc.
Also, here's my dilemma:
I have this computer (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/q4g63C) which I built when I was in need of a computer and no money.
I was thinking of getting a new mobo (the current one has overheating problems) and maybe a GPU.
Or just build a new one from scratch, this time using an Intel CPU, since I'm not happy at all with my current AMD one.
The thing is, I don't know if it's a good time to do either of both. Might as well bear with my current build and wait for the new technologies (Zen, Skylake) to come out or whatever.
What do you guys recommend?

Does anybody know what the fuck I did to my taskbar?
I was fooling with some settings in the advanced section of the Windows customization appearances and after I thought the only thing i adjusted was the Windows border padding. Now my icons are fucking stupidly small.
To make matters worse, after a reboot, my taskbar now includes the whole damn start orb.
Anybody know what the fug I did?
Been trying to setup GRUB to boot my newly installed distro, but it fails to start no matter what I try.
The disk is dev/sdc/ when booted, and my BIOS is in AHCI mode.
My stupid question is, am I installing the bootloader to the wrong drive? Does it have to be the very first one in this case?
Disclaimer, the language i'm programming is java as that's what we're being taught in school, no bitching about it please.
Question:
I'm trying to make a board(2d array) and i'd like individual instances of this board in a new class called Tile, you could imagine a chess board I suppose.
Then after having a tile i'd place an object on it or I wouldn't also i'd decide if it's walkable/accessible by the player or not.
What would be the best way to do this?
I'm not sure if my thought process is right or wrong but I think I can manage if someone could tell me how to pass a single position(From Board with 2d array) to the constructor of Tile(which has params x and y)?
>>53696742
>I'm not sure if my thought process is right or wrong but I think I can manage if someone could tell me how to pass a single position(From Board with 2d array) to the constructor of Tile(which has params x and y)?
For better clarification, Tile requires a single x or y out of the array.
I think that means I need to loop a third time because it's a 2d array?
Is there any way to get images from 4chins to save to their posted filenames instead of the usual number filename like '1457646475861"?

>>53696795
If it's 2D you only need 2 loops to get every single element. But I don't get what you're trying to do, go ask the /dpt/ guys.
So I remember hearing that you used to be able to overclock Xeons, at least back in the Nehalem days. Can you still do that with current chips? Or is Xeon overclocking no longer a thing?
>>53696682
Cache.
>>53696866
I understand that but i'm trying to pass a single element to the constructor of the other class and i'm not sure how to go about to do that. Also I will thanks.

What's a good alternative to buying canned air?
I have a mechanical keyboard with one button that makes a crunching noise when it is pressed and sort of gets stuck. How can I fix it?
>>53697115
Take it out
>>53697089
there isn't one. There's little battery-powered things (that are usually vacuums and not blowers, for some reason), they're weaker than just blowing through a straw and don't do anything.
or you could always just use positive pressure and good filters. It does pretty much eliminate the need for dusting if you plan it well and clean the filters regularly, which you can do without buying canned air.
>>53697115
on most mechanical boards you can remove switches individually and replace them. /mkg/ can probably help you, though they'll want to know what specific board and switch type it is.
>>53697115
you can buy a replacement switch
>>53696255
Thanks

>they're weaker than just blowing through a straw and don't do anything
you've obviously never used the datavac. in addition to obliterating dust from my computer and keyboard, i use it to fill air mattresses
canned air is literally a scam

Electrical blowers.

>>53697204
$58 on Newegg right now. Not as bad as I thought it'd be, though it'd still probably take a year or two to pay itself off, unless you do an awful lot of dusting

For simply taking notes there is a programm called "basket"
Where you can group categorize notes and different things like pictures and what not.

I would love to get this, but can't find it in Europe. Would any hand-held vacuum cleaner with blowing function do?
>>53693363
ASUS VG248QE is cheaper and better.
Avoid BenQ monitors.
Exact Audio Copy (EAC) says something, in the "test" featue, like "peak value". What does that mean?
Also, it says there is no error, even when there is sync problems... This does not makes sense to me. Sync problem isn't an error?

Can you have AHCI and RAID on the same OS if they're running on different controllers?
>>53696909
yup,
CPU and Harddrive cache things they recently used.
So if they happen to need access again they load it from the cache.
CPU has their dedicated cache.
Hardrives also Have dedicated cache but most systems also use RAM to save information that was recently accessed.

Also those cafe usually have DeepFreeze installed if that makes a difference.

I know there are risk of keyloogers, but I can evade it with either prepared text file or use on screen keyboard.
