Fuck me /g/, it happened again, my fourth power supply died on me and I still don't know what's causing it, I replaced the mobo after my last PSU died because I was at least reasonably confident that it was the cause of the problem, turns out it wasn't.
My EVGA Supernova Bronze 750W just shat itself and I have no idea why, it won't boot (though sometimes it stays on longer than others, up to 5 seconds before shutting off.) There's a slight but audible click when I try and turn on my computer coming from what I think is the power supply, so static might be an issue. PSU is only a month old to boot.
Before that was a Seasonic G550 for about a year that started shutting off under load and eventually died completely (turning on for a second or so before going off again).
Before that was a FSP Raider 750W Silver that died after a month or so when I was playing Metro Last Light.
Before that was a Seasonic G550 that had severe coil whine from day 0 and was replaced after 6 months.
Computer is only 2 and a half years old yet I've managed to chew through 4 power supplies and 2 motherboards. What the fuck is going on.
I need advice because I'm totally lost as to what it could be other than my GPU.
Specs are:
4670K
EVGA GTX 760
MSI H97M-G43 M-ATX
EVGA Supernova Bronze 750W
Samsaung 850 EVO M.2 SSD
WD Green 2TB

Is your case metal? Are parts of your comp making a circuit inside of it?
Have you been using the same power cable from wall to PSU each time?
Are you flicking the switch on the back of the PSU alot?
Are you particularly dusty or have animal fur that gets in the PSU?
Have you ever measured power load of all your components running?
>>54147639
>Is your case metal? Are parts of your comp making a circuit inside of it?
Case is full aluminium, though I don't think it's make a circuit because I'm not getting any static discharge from touching the case at all, even when it's separated completely from the ground (with the exception of the power cable.)
>Have you been using the same power cable from wall to PSU each time?
Nope, intentionally switched just in case it was.
>Are you flicking the switch on the back of the PSU alot?
2 or 3 times a week.
>Are you particularly dusty or have animal fur that gets in the PSU?
Nope, no dust. Wouldn't account for my latest power supply failing after just a month anyway.
>Have you ever measured power load of all your components running?
Not yet, might find myself a meter of some sort to do that. If it's to do with exceeding the power draw on my computer I don't see how a 4670K and a GTX 760 could exceed the power limitations of a 750W PSU when it was running fine on a 550W for over a year.
If it helps I move between houses twice or so a week, but am very careful every time I do, though it wouldn't account for my 3rd PSU dying under load because that occurred before I began moving between houses.
What's the conventional wisdom on buying a manufacturer refurbished mouse? Or to get to the root of the matter, what products should be avoided whenever possible when "manufacturer refurbished" comes up?
>>54147639
>>54147836
I shorted the PSU with a paper clip and got it to boot and stay on, after that I plugged in all my peripherals and the computer turned on. Leads me to think it's a static problem. What do now?
Pic is how I shorted it.
>>54147910
I generally tend to stay away from manufacturer refurbished stuff unless it comes from a reputable manufacturer with a rock solid returns policy, as much as /g/ spergs out about Apple their refurbished macbooks are top notch and they accept returns and full warranties on them.
Bottom line is that if it's a good company it might be worth getting refurbished.

Hey guys. About to spend ~600 ish on a new TV.
I'd like to get a 4k because while media isn't quite all there yet, it will be soon. I'm going into college so I won't be buying a new TV for at least the next 5-6 years because grad school right after.

I was thinking the Xeon because it's essentially an i7 without overclocking + iGPU which sounds great for the price.

Well if you can get a Xeon for cheap sure.
Otherwise get a cheap i5 like i5-4460/4590 or the i5-6500 because sounds like you don't have a z97 or z170 motherboard.
>>54151131

I'm about to embark on a large PC upgrade, where a motherboard, a CPU, a graphics card and quite possibly a PSU will get replaced. I currently have a working 500W PSU. I'm trying to understand if I could keep it for the upgraded build, with the new GPU and all.
The graphics card in question is one recommended to me by one of you, which is Gigabyte's GV-R939WF2-8GD. I looked up its wattage, and Gigabyte "recommends" a 600W PSU. Every other site just copy-pasted the recommendation. I also tried calculating the power consumption on a PSU calculator and it gave me less than 500.

Yeah I've been regretting it ever since however the issue with SLI is that nvidia mandates that a GPU have at least an x8 slot in terms of speed for SLI to work.

If I by a Skylake CPU, will at idle at stock speed or will it throttle itself to save power? Is this OS-defined? I want a high clock rate chip but also want power efficiency.
>>54154096
if you keep speedstep on it'll downclock when not used.
Is this board suitable for overclocking an i5 6600k to around 4.5 ghz? This board seems to have what I need but I'm not sure if it can OC well.

I have a 100 megabit router and was interested in buying a gigabit switch so that I can transfer data between two computers on my network faster (putting them on the same switch and then another cable going to the router so that they can go on the internet).
Is installation of such a setup as simple as just plugging everything in and Windows/Linux will handle the networking automatically? Or is there a manual process I have to work through? Tell me about it.

I'm going camping kinda soon, and I need to be able to power my electronic air mattress pump without using an outlet
So what kinds of battery powered extension cord/surge protector-like things are out there? Even if it's just a battery that I need to plug into a surge protector I already have, idc. I just need something that I can use without an outlet for a bit.
Thanks.

no, you just plug it in, that's it.

I recently got an update for my 1st gen moto g which is a prepaid Verizon (xt1028 I think)
It was just a security update for 5.1
So someone here said:
>Yes, it's safe, why aren't you using stock 6.0 ported from the xt1033?
How can I do this?
Is it even possible without rooting since I don't think you can root that prepaid verizon
So I downloaded and wrote the new Ubuntu 16.04 on my flash drive to boot on my laptop.
I try to boot it on startup and it is not recognized or located.
I tried on my desktop and the boot option was available.
What's wrong with my laptop? It can receive the flash drive when booted normally, just not prior to boot.
>>54154450
Thank you. One more question. These switches that I'm looking don't specifically say switch port should connect to a router. Does that matter at all? Is there some kinda rule where I should always connect Port1 on the Switch to my Router or does it not matter at all?
>>54154513
it doesn't matter, that's why it's a switch, it'll figure it out.

So on occasion on start up my screen just shows white static that moves and changes dimensions, like going from full screen save a black 500x300 corner in the top right to a 900x900 square in the center surrounded by black space. Restarting my pc fixes the issue, and it doesnt pop up often, but like once every 5-7 days. I can rule out the monitor/cable at least.
Is it something I should worry about, and if so, what sort of implication does it mean for my system?
>>54154953
They dont need an iphone at that age. Get them a tracphone so they can call in emergencies and text with friends/family

I have 0 work exp in front end development and no technical background etc, literally worked so many and different jobs for the last 5 years, but nothing even close to CS or programming or anything.
But I have the abilities and skills for at least a junior front end developer, and I found few companies that are hiring and their requirements are lower than my skill set etc. so I could fit in.
However I struggle writing my CV, coz following the norm I should list previous exp in the field etc, and/or degrees, but I never had any of those that are related to the job position or even the tech world.
What am I supposed to do ? What to write in it ? Can I completelly skip those parts and just write down my skills and link few sites that I have made ? (that are also for no clients, just sample sites, but include a lot of frameworks and demonstrating different skills)

Talk about your passion for it in your cover letter, mention your personal experience / projects there as well (you're talking about why you'd be a good fit and want to work there).
Also make sure your hobbies / other interest on your resume show that you're interested in the subject matter outside of work.
Be ready to talk about it at length in an interview.

Question to the Sysadmins.
You get a job at a company without any sensible IT infrastructure, how do you start turning it into a modern 21st century company IT wise? ("I quit" is not an option here)
It's about 25 workstations with everything locally on a mix of Windows from XP to 10, no domain, no backups, no fileservers.
A single unmanaged switch with all stuff (16 IP Cams and 25 Workstations) going through a SOHO router, along with a on-site PBX box and phones from 1990.
I started out by throwing out all the shitty phones and on-site PBX and moving to Yealink VoIP phones with cloud PBX. Replaced the TP-Link router with a Ubiquiti 8-Port Edgerouter and moved Workstations, VoIP and IP Cams each to their own switches and respective router ports along with configuring QoS for VoIP>all. I also firewalled public access to the NVR and set up a VPN for that instead.
Next, i want to upgrade our 2006 Wifi solution to Ubiquiti UAP-LRs and get a machine with a fuckton of RAM to act as main VM Host to set up Active Directory (lol i know fuck all about this), a Fileserver for shared resources, internal Application server for something i'm working on, and a ERP in the future.
Am i going in the right direction? How do i handle Email? What do i do with printers scattered around? Can i use a cheap consumer-grade i5 machine as backup VM host?
Someone tell me literally anything, since i obviously don't know anything about this shit.

Guess I'm gonna have to stay unactivated forever then. Will something terrible happen? I can live without a desktop wallpaper, as long as the computer's performance stays the same and windows keeps working
So my dad managed to lock himself out of his computer. Hell if I know how, I regret not making a repair disc back when I still lived with him. So I sent him a Windows 7 installation disc and currently getting him to reinstall Windows.
So it sounded like the installation was going normally, but at the point where the computer restarts to make you finish the installation (where you create your user account, set a password, etc) he's telling me that it's just taking him to the old login screen.
What the hell might have happened? Did he manage to make two separate Windows installations instead of overwriting the old one? He isn't being very descriptive so I have to guess here. I got him to use the upgrade option so he won't lose his files, but I'm pretty sure I've used that option before myself and it didn't make any sort of dual booting shit happen. Is there a way for him to access the rest of the installation process? If I'm remembering things correctly, there's a way to choose which operating system you want to boot from when you're turning the computer on, right? I can't find anything about this though. Maybe I'm searching for the wrong phrases or something.
If he has to format the drive in order to actually get this to install, is there a way for him to back up all of his files to a USB drive without logging in?

>>54156177
There's no way in hell he would be able to use Linux and copy the sam file over. It took him all day yesterday to change the boot order around, even after I repeated the same thing to him like 50 times. It's so weird how middle aged and older people suddenly lose the ability to read when it comes to computer shit.
Besides, the motherboard should be able to boot from USB but it refuses to. We ran into some problems back a few years ago and I tried to do that but it simply didn't work.

>>54156508
I"m not sure what happened, can't you use a vm and screen recorder to make a walkthrough video for him then put it on youtube or something, or does he not have access to any other computers?

He doesn't have access to any other computers at home. I guess I could make a recording and he could watch it at the library, but I don't know if he would be able to remember it.
What would cause notepadqq to stop using stock keybinds
Whenever I compile, test, debug, terminate my game in Unreal it drives up the memory usage up from 200-300 MB to 5.0 GB in a matter of hours (usually bringing me to 99% memory usage from the usual 30% load).
Having to close it down every few hours or so is kind of annoying so I'm considering buying more ram. Just wanted to ask a quick obvious question:
Is there any point? Will these kind of programs hit 100% within the same time frame or am I actually a few more hours with it.
My ram stick is DDR3 1333 with a timing of 11-11-11-30. Do I have to get specifically a DDR3 1333 11-11-11-30?
Or can I get sticks with different Mhz and timing etc... Or will one or the other just not work if I get say a DDR4.
