Just closing the browser and starting it again works but that's being a hassle. Anyone know what's wrong with my browser?
It's been two years that I have my computer and I didn't had this issue before.
Whenever I start my computer it take a lot of time to show me the bios screen (it can take a few minutes to one hour)
Once the bios screen appears, it boot normally.
I tried to unplug most devices of the computer, it still is slow to show me the bios screen.
What can be the issue ? Once it boots, everything works and run normally
I posted this the other day and while I got some help I couldn't fix it. Now I'm by my computer so it might be easier. I'm a total noob tho so pls no bully
I bought a slightly used 980 ti and a 1440p 144hz monitor but everything caps at 60 frames per second. The nvidia control panel won't let me change it to 144hz. I'm using a new hdmi cable and for some reason displayport isn't working with my 980ti.
Any suggestions?
>>55029334
hdmi can't do 1440p at 144hz, 60 is the maximum.
>>55029334
Try DVI?
Is the monitor connected to the card and not the motherboard?
Didn't saw the new thread. Can I delete this? I don't care about not being able to uninstall the service pack.
>>55029364
Is it? I just boot up witcher 3 and it says I'm getting 65-70 frames now so...
>>55029372
It's connected to the gpu I'm not that much of a noob
Can you make games without learning how to program? Is Unity a way for this?
if I must learn only one program (if possible) to create games, which one would it be? Java?
>>55029334
Option A: Figure out why displayport isnt working and fix it
Option B: Give up
Why does anime and technology go hand and hand?
>>55029394
Depends on what type of game
>>55029393
the amount of frames you can render doesn't mean they can be displayed on the monitor.
if the monitor refreshes at 60hz and you get 1000 frames per second means you can see 60 of these 1000 frames per second.
Make sure your monitor and cable support HDMI2.0, otherwise it can't go above 60hz.
Use displayport instead.
I got a GPS module that has a USB connection. It created a virtual COM port on the computer. Inside the module there are the usual COM connections, Vcc Rx Tx and all that. I connected them to a USB-serial adapter but there's no data going over them and these connections went straight to the USB cable, so were these Rx and Tx points really just USB data + and - points?
>>55029251
Uninstall or disable each of your extensions and see if it still breaks. If it doesnt work still, try installing a clean version of chrome. If that works, add your extensions again, checking if it breaks chrome or not.
>>55029394
the unreal engine has blueprints where you don't have to write a single line of code and just connect lines with each other.
https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/Blueprints/
you can make games with that, but if you want to make anything more complex blueprints will not suffice.
>>55029420
because it doesn't
I'm about to actually sort out all the IPs in my home network and just need to know some basic things.
What I'm planning to do is set the DHCP range from 192.168.0.11 and up. Then I'll assign a few static IPs like computers and server between 192.168.0.3-10,. 1 and 2 being reserved for router and wifi extender upstairs.
Does this sound about right?
Firefox takes this much memory says my task manager, is this normal ? it seems that it is waaaaay too much. How come ? what can i do ?

sounds right. but i think u should take more reserved ips

Thanks.
Actually I draw, and make music, so I tought I could avoid learning code/programming and start making games (more likely to be 2D but who knows, Unity does 3D too, so...).
To answer the first question, I'll probably keep it relatively simple (like platformers for a certain time)
>but if you want to make anything more complex What do you see as complex?
Actually all I need is to be able to create games that will have their own look and not look like they all come out from the same mold.
Not sure how Unity does that. Any good "pro" Unity games examples by the way?
>>55029394
Game Maker, it even has modules to export to IOS and Android and shit
It introduces programming in easy ways.
Here's the deal:
I'm running Kodi on my Windows desktop in my bedroom. Works great.
I also spend a lot of time in the garage working on stuff, often times loud stuff. I usually listen to podcasts on my Android phone. This way I can wear ear muffs for loud work and still hear just fine.
Here's what I'd like to be able to do: play videos on my laptop in the garage, while 'casting' the sound via my Android phone. Ideally, it would pick up wherever I left off in Kodi on my desktop.
So... Maybe 'cast' the video to the laptop, and 'cast' the audio separately to the Android? Play the videos directly on the laptop and 'cast' the sound to the Android?
Any suggestions?
>>55029498
sure, but are you going to have 243 devices connected that your DHCP range need to be this large?
I'd probably make it 10-20 depending if your family uses it too or only you and keep the rest unused.
>>55029209
Whats a good laptop for $250 or less
just regular browsing
>>55029558
Oh, looks like some pretty decent games have been made with it, like Hotline Miami...this answers my previous question.
What would you say is the difference between Unity and Game Maker?
>>55029581
get a tablet
>>55029581
Not even pretending to code/write/create? Get a tablet.
I would like to move my entire Steam folder to another hard drive, because as you can see in this picture it's taking up too much space on this storage drive. What is the best way to move everything without breaking anything?
>>55029599
Unity is a software framework, GM is a program that you can use to make games. Completely different ballgame. I've used Game Maker in the past, and you can make some halfway fun stuff pretty easily.
>>55029616
>>55029606
I am sorry but getting a tablet makes no sense.
>>55029651
Why? At the very least you could use the tablet to research what laptop you wanted.
>>55029651
More battery life and can use it in more positions. A laptop makes no sense if you're a potato.
>>55029616
>Not even pretending to code/write/create?
What do you mean? I might use it to code a bit and fuck around on linux, but that's it.
>>55029533

Why do you need a PC if you're just going to use it as a web terminal?
I want to stream old console games on twitch and stuff.
I want 720p 60FPS
I am going to build the lowest budget PC I can.
From what I am reading, streaming performance has everything to do with how strong your CPU is.
on craigslist the only thing I can get an i3-3240 for 60$
motherboard for another 20$
Not sure how good it is though.
Is this going to be too weak to process the stream?
I tried my old LGA775 quad core running 720p@60FPS. It can only put out about 10-12 FPS.
What other cheap, bang for buck CPU for power is there?
>>55029651
Tablets are good mang. For general browsing and shitposting it's great. Mine gets 8+ hours screen on time and has a really good screen.
>tfw quietly laughing at dank memes while gf asleep
It's a good feel.
>>55029715
what do you have?
>>55029706
An i3 isn't going to cut it
An AMD octo core might work well enough but it depends on the game.
>>55029706
for h264 use a faster compression, then CPU load will be lower and you get higher frames.
otherwise get a capture card to stream from, then you don't have to worry to overload the computer.
>>55029209

Under Database Development, i added a postgresql driver, did a ping to my database and it worked.
But when i write a test program to see if i can connect to postgresql with JDBC it says Error: "org.Postgresql.Driver", which means it doesn't find the driver.
Why.

Any one of your internal hardware components could be bad. Or you don't have Fast Boot turned on (whatever it is that skips extra hardware checks) in the BIOS.

you have your "reader" column inside the "gaming" column, move the div out of it.
also your maximum width is 600px, increase it so it can fit another column.
all in all this is an absolute terrible setup and a big red flag on how not to do it.
wherever you got that from don't ever go back there.
>>55029980
With your price limit, youll be passing on every laptop that isnt a chromebook or a tablet then.
How hot is safe for a CPU? I just bought Battlefield 4 and found it it shoots my CPU up to 84 degrees, which is the hottest I've ever seen it go.
>>55029944
Have you been working on glossy monitors and/or with direct lighting? It helps a bit to not have any in your field of view. Only light reflected from matte surfaces. Because harsh wavelengths don't reflect.

Looks pretty good. My normie brother doesn't bother with a laptop anymore because he has a tablet.
I have a PC that is a couple of years old that has an APU and no discrete graphics card. I don't have my specs available, posting from my phone, but would a budget graphics card be an improvement?
I can currently run older games like Skyrim on High, but Fallout 4 is no go. What price range would I likely be looking at to see much of an improvement?

it's hard to see because of your nonexisting indenting.
your gaming section includes the reader section, move it outside.

I guess I'll be the only one to say that I usually hate tablets. The only time I've ever wanted one is when I'm on a train or plane.
The thinkpad t420 is a good choice, and it has a dank model number. I personally don't love the general way it feels, and use a 2009 unibody macbook with windows 7 installed. Both can be had in good condition on ebay for less than $250.

At ~$100, the R7 370 would be a substantial improvement. Just be aware it's a twice-rebranded 7850. You can pick up used 7850's and 7870's in the $80 range.
If you have a craptacular OEM PSU and don't want to swap it out, a 750Ti is what you'd want. It could handle Fallout 4 on Medium.
1. Do I have to overclock to play games in 4k?
2. What is the deal with processors, why can't the bigger the 'k' mean the better processor. I think I watched a video where they said a i5 5900k something rather is better than a i7 6700k.
3. I also read that the processors cores and threads make a difference with the 'better' processor. So can I just go off that instead of the ####k?
4. Cases. I've seen mid and full towers. Are full cases just used for airflow, space, and looks?
5. Is there any difference when it comes to the 1080 brands, e.g. msi, gigabyte, asus?
6. What companies make the most reputable components to the computer, e.g. cpu, gpu, ram, ssd, case, power supply, monitor, cooling?
7. I've seen different ssd's everywhere. Majority have a read and write speed of 550mb. Is this the only spec I should look at for gaming?
8. The kingston ssd has a read/write spec of 1400mb, where as Samsung, and Intel have ssd's with 550mb. What is the better ssd?
9. I have an i7 4770k, should I upgrade it to a 6700 or 6700k or is mine fine to play games like the Witcher?
10. How do viruses slow your internet speed?
11. What is the best way to clean a computer, including dusty fans?
12. Should I go to a computer store for speakers?
13. What are the best speakers that don't include surround-sound?
14. The sabertooth z170 motherboard has its own sound chip. Is there a benefit to putting in a separate $60 sound card?
15. If gaming is headed for Windows 10, should I swap to Linux, Mac, or stay with 07?
16. Do I really need a cpu cooler? Can't I just install 6 140mm fans on my case and call it a day?
17. Can overclocking really set your computer on fire?
18. Watercooling, how does it work.? Do you put water in it every day?
Say you've just set it up, and you're giving it a test run. It leaks and spills onto your gpu, ssd, and power supply. How fucked are you?

Legit retard question coming through: what is a Smart TV and what sets it apart from whatever else is there on the TV market nowadays.
I haven't watched TV for more than 8 years nor owned any consoles so I'm quite out of the loop and want to buy one now.

I guess its resolution is good enough for that. My phone has more ;)

basically a tv with internet access and youtube/netflix/whatever preinstalled

>>55030337
For Netflix and chill? Please don't buy one to use alone. And expect a ton of input lag with anything current.
>>55030362
I'm assuming the fact that those programs come preinstalled is just a comfortability feature so the user doesn't have to plug to a computer through HDMI all the time?

I know nothing about that tablet.
I have a nexus 7 from 2012, and it still browses the web, plays most games, and does videos and shit perfectly fine. Doesnt feel old or slow.
In terms of tablets, just get something with a good screen and enough storage. All of the new speced tablets should work perfectly fine for that.
Hello /g/
I'm having a strange issue where Firefox hesitates for ~3 seconds when loading a webpage (it says firefox is "looking up" the page during this time). The only time this does not happen is if I load a page less than X seconds after previously loading that page, where X varies by website, e.g. around 10 seconds for startpage, and a couple minutes for all other pages. It doesn't seem to matter what extensions I have enabled. It also only happens on this computer, which should rule out the router/network.
Any ideas as to what's going on? I'd appreciate any help.
>>55030323
1. your CPU? no, your GPU? Maybe, depends which and how much power it got.
2. 3. https://www-ssl.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/processor-numbers.html
4. yes, more space, better cable management, other fancy extras
5. the reference cards no, the non reference cards come with custom PCBs and coolers, which may allow higher overclocks depending on manufacturer.
6. look at logicalincrements.com
7. might want to look at size too, since games take up quite a lot of space nowadays.
8. look at the specs. if it writes/reads with 1400MB/s you can be sure it'll cost at least double of an SSD that reads/writes 500MB/s
9. It's fine, games aren't CPU heavy. Your i7 is already overkill for probably all of them.
10. They might keep your connection open to download more malware or spread it.
11. some canned air or if you're on a budget a pedal powered bicycle wheel pump will do.
14. no, onboard sound on all motherboards in the recent years are sufficient for normal users.
15. stay with windows if you want to play games for now.
16. you don't have a cooler right now? yes, you really really want to cool it.
17. no, but it can kill your CPU if you overvolt it without care.
>>55030434

How do I get all the function buttons on my keyboard to work? The sound keys seem to work if I hold down Fn, but I haven't found a way to get the music keys (prev, next, play, pause) to work. Is there some program I should be using?
Keyboard is Rosewill RK-9000V2. OS is Windows 10.
>>55030564
did the keyboard come with drivers? for specific special function keys I believe you need more than just a generic keyboard driver
>>55030564
depends on the music player.
if they don't listen to those keys nothing will happen.
>>55030584
keyboard did not come with drivers
>>55030606
you might check the rosewill site and see if drivers are available for that specific keyboard, alternately lot's of music players these days give you the option to bind keys
>>55030564
Try with foobar2k or mpc-hc. If those don't work, see if the keyboard is sending something non-standard when they're pressed. And maybe set up AutoHotKey to have them just werk universally.
19. Instead of having someone build me a custom pc, should I just buy a general $3000 gaming computer that twitch streamers advertise?
20. Do ssd's make a difference when looking at porn?
21. My current pc sometimes freezes for 5 seconds, but my audio is fine. What could be the problem?
22. DirectX, how can I benefit from it?
I remember installing it, but do I have to run it, or does it just do its thing in the background?
23. Where can I save money when building a pc, everyone says don't bitch out on the power, so what doesn't matter?
24. When looking at power supply, there is a corsair 750w gold for $200, but then a corsair 750w plat for $220. Which one is worth more?
25. I am making a huge jump in gpu's. My current is a geforce 430 GT (2013). Should I wait for the amd 480, nvidia 1080, 1070, 1060, or something less OP?
26. I seen people talk about ram, saying how all games max out at 2400-2600ghz. But there's the corsair vengeance 3200ghz going for the same price as every other 2600ghz ram. Is there something I'm missing?
27. Speaking of ram, is it better to have x4 sticks, or x2 sticks of ram?
Like does it reduce heat, run better, look sexier?
28. Are there any Do's and DONT's to overclocking?
I'll probably come back later today with more. Thank you.
>>55030532
Thanks a million.
Got a couple more if you don't mind answering.
Is it fine to uninstall the intel stuff that came with this computer? Dell Update opening itself bothers me.
>>55030564
If they only work with Fn, then they are hardware switches, and there is nothing you can do.
If they are generic media buttons, they should be picked up with the genric hid drivers, if not, donwload the latest drivers for that keyboard.If they still d not work, use autohotkey if you're on windows, or xbindkeys if you're on linux
I keep getting retarded random BSOD about my network and some shit from the mobo drivers but I already have the latest shit on the gigabyte site, how can I fix/update all my fucking drivers in a proper way?
>>55030460
>9. It's fine, games aren't CPU heavy. Your i7 is already overkill for probably all of them

19. they are generally more expensive and have less good hardware. You don't need 3000$ for a really good computer.
20. no
21. could be a lot of things, do you have an SSD? is the GPU okay? is the CPU at 100% when it does hang?
22. It's the runtime that most games are written in. A program can talk to the GPU through it, it does not run in the background. There are a lot of versions and programs written in a specific version need that specific runtime, that's why every game keeps installing it.
23. You don't need "gamer" branded motherboards or anything special. check parts in details on what you want and don't let flashy LEDs fool you.
24. check the differences, does one have modular cables? I personally run a bronze modular 650W PSU, which is enough for a 980ti and an overclocked 3570k.
25. The 480 seems to be a good midrange GPU, the 1080 and 1070 are more highend. Figure out what you want to do, you don't need a 1080 on a 1080p screen. Something cheaper will suffice.
26. RAM speed only matters for benchmarking, you can't feel any difference.
27. Both are fine, with 2x sticks you can upgrade later and add 2 more, where as with 4 smaller ones you'd have to replace 2 of them.
28. go in small steps, don't increase voltage/clock too fast. Test for stability after every increment. Also grab a notepad and write down the settings you used. You might need to reset the bios and start from beginning again.

Those are the efficiency ratings, platinum is more efficient on power than gold is. Just get a Bronze power supply
>25

>26
Everything else will bottleneck before your ram will
>27
2 sticks in dual channel is better than 1 stick
4 sticks would be 2 sets of dual channel. So get 2 big sticks, and leave the 2 extra slots for expansion later
>28
Nigger you cant even build your own PC but you want to overclock it?
Walk before you can run, keep it at stock speeds for now.
Most of your questions are just vague shit that vary depending on a lot of stuff. Start researching shit, me giving you snippets wont actually teach you anything
>>55030743
Depends on the game I guess. My 980ti is bottlenecking most games for me on a i5-3570k, with the exception of a terrible optimized MMO which lets the GPU idle at 50% with the CPU at 100%.
>>55030680
You can delete bloatware perfectly fine.
Just understand what is bloatware and what is not.
Intel stuff sounds like its drivers for your WLAN or LAN and what not. Makes sense that Dell software would update your drivers for you. Just disable that Dell garbage
Shift + 4 (not on numpad) isn't working, but when using the other numbers is working perfectly, I don't know why. Key 4 isn't stuck either, shift and 4 are working normal, but I can't even type the usd symbol.

autohotkey or anything running that could intercept it?
does it not work everywhere or only in specific applications?
can you try a new user and see if it still doesn't work. if it still doesn't try to plug it to a different computer.
if it then still doesn't work it might be the keyboard.
Has anyone ever heard/used the Kolink brand for power supplies?
The only things I can find online are people from 5+years ago saying it's shit cuz they haven't heard of it.
They seem to have some kind of partnership with overclockers UK and noctua, so obviously they're not completely trash.. Right?
I can't see why overclockers would put it as a non-changeable PSU in a PC build if it was destined to fail, they give 3 year warranty and 2 year on PSU alone..
Must be legit, right?
>>55030899
Just did a malwarebytes scan a few hours ago, 0 threats. Even ran the rkill thing from /techsupport/ that suppously scans for malware processes and services.
>>55030947
It doesn't works everywhere, and it also messes up with other function keys. For example, it all started when I played gta 4 with the native trainer. I pressed the f12, and ctrl+1 and 2 was supposed to do something in the game but now it does something else, like ctrl or shift has been changed.
I think I would just reinstall the whole OS, it's been awhile since I reinstalled it.
>>55030827
Alright, cool. Thank you.
I'll leave the intel stuff then. I got rid of some shit like the dell shop and help center and all that. Left the Support Assist thing since it tells me when my warranty's up.

Depends on the CPU, but generally, if you're over 60C for a long time you're gonna fuck it. Some can reach 100C with no damage for a brief period of time, but there's no reason why it should reach 60C to begin with. Your cooling is shit.

>I would like to move my entire Steam folder to another hard drive, because as you can see in this picture it's taking up too much space on this storage drive. What is the best way to move everything without breaking anything?
Here's what I do, since I have a primary SSD and a secondary HDD:
1) Move C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common to D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common
2) Run CMD as administrator
3) Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps
4) type
>mklink /j common "D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common"
If you have particular games that you want to run faster, move them back to the C: drive and make individual junction points back to them.
>>55029648
>>55032343
Hard links is a horrible idea.
Dont do this
Install steam, set where you want your library to be.Exit steam, put your games/saves etc in this new folder.
Start up steam,it will do a library scan, and verify everything is there.Some games you will need to "reinstall" them,but it is just going to verify your new library
Done without fucking up your system

SSDs are way faster than regular HDDs. My advice is get a 120 gb SSD for the system and such and a big HDD
>>55032638
SSD(~550mb/s+) is flash memory, it will load way faster then HDD,as the HDD has physical equipment it needs to move,where as an SSD is basically the old SD cards(cameras) on steroids,with no moving parts just electricity

I want to stream high quality media over a somewhat slow and unreliable internet connection. I have full control over the sender and receiver setups.
I'm currently using rsync to copy the file, and playing it with mpv while it downloads. This works but I know there's overhead in the form of the SSH tunnel. Which protocol should I use instead?
* Low overhead is important
* Does need to be TCP since Matroska isn't built for unreliable streams
* Needs to be able to resume broken downloads and do checksums on both sides block-by-block and sync the different/missing parts if needed. rsync does this well
* Security is not needed or wanted
Basically rsync without encryption. Does this exist?

>Not gunna happen.
It mostly works, actually. But it's marginal and I therefore am looking for ways to improve the margin.
I think you slightly got the wrong idea about my setup. I may have been misleading when I said "stream".
1) Start torrent of a reasonably high quality video (2-4GiB/hour) on my remote server. This takes a couple minutes, can be ignored.
2) Start an rsync of that file over the internet to my local machine.
3) After a few minutes, open the incomplete file with mpv.
Generally, the rsync can keep up, but only just. I can compare the remaining length of the video with the rsync estimate to get an idea of whether it's likely to run out of buffer. I'd like to improve my chances of watching without interruptions by using a lower-overhead protocol if possible.
HTPCs, streaming frontends, port forwarding, etc etc are all out of scope for this.

>streaming performance has everything to do with how strong your CPU is.
that's true
you don't need a supercomputer to encode 720p video at 60fps
HOWEVER
there is a speed/quality tradeoff, and you have your internet upload bandwidth to consider
the faster the encoding settings, the lower the quality will be at a given bitrate
so you can compensate for low upload speed by using a faster cpu to make a more efficient encode
or you can compensate for a slow cpu by making a low efficiency encode that uses lots of upload bandwidth
