I'm just looking for the best bang for my buck large as hell HDD to store movies and crap on.

I wont have any games on it, so as far as I know speed isn't a big deal (right?). It will be nothing but PDFs, movies, and other non-active crap.

I'm currently trying to decide between it and a WD blue 6TB for $199 since it has much better reviews.

Open to suggestions though, I know just about nothing.

I am having some weird issues. I have a wifi modem setup. Internet is connected and when phones connect to the wifi they can get through fine.

However an ipad and a laptop (thinkpad with win10) are both unable to get internet. They will connect to the wifi but it just says "No Internet, secured."

Anybody know what could be going on? I am literally on the other side of the planet from these people and cannot speak the language the modem so it is a bit tricky trying to troubleshoot this.

guy with the German windows 7 here from the last thread, everything was going ok until I tried to install a certain driver to the computer.

after the restart my mouse no longer works and neither does my keyboard. they both have lights and neither turns on.

putting the computer in a certain safe mode, don't know which, its in german, allows me to use the mouse and keyboard again and I can use the mouse and keyboard just fine in bios as well

I tried a super simple usb mouse and it still wouldn't work

the mouse I was using before had a super faint flutter of light when I pressed down the left click key but still didn't didn't light up after

5820k is a solid chip but you were better off getting it before the 6700k launch/broadwell-e announcement which hiked the prices up

>>55125042
>Why is the www neeeded at all?

it's not needed at all but back in ye olden days a parent domain might have been pointing to a non-web service such as ftp and a browser lacking ftp support might not have done anything with the domain, ergo www. for web server, ftp. for ftp service etc

but if you're using the domain for multiple things www. pointing explicitly to a web server might be useful in some scenarios

>Whats the name of the part where you put the www?

Why the fuck is every motherboard manufacturer using realtek shit sound now?

Also have some issues with asmedia and intel sata controllers and kinda missing "AI NET" lan cable testing feature, I mean in the 4 months since I've been using new motherboard I had 3 cases where it would have been very useful. Maybe I should just repair my old space heater. /blog

+ "('"+emp.getNom()+"','"+emp.getPrenom()+"', '"+emp.getAdresse()+"', "

if(ConnexionMYSQL.getInstance().actionQuery(req1) == false)
return false;

String req2 = "SELECT MAX(Id) FROM employe;";
ResultSet resu = ConnexionMYSQL.getInstance().selectQuery(req2);
int dernId;

try {
resu.next();
dernId = resu.getInt("dernId");
} catch (SQLException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(DAOEmployeMYSQL.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
return false;
}

String req3 = "INSERT into email (Adresse, IdEmployé) VALUES ('"+emp.getEmail()+"', '"+dernId+"')";

return true;
}



I replace the actual query by SELECT MAX(Id) from employe;
>>
>>55129118
>selectQuery()
what does that do?
ConnexionMYSQL is a black box for me.

besides that, use parameters, don't concatenate queries like this.

if it really doesn't work use a transaction before you select max(id). otherwise you could get back the wrong id if something else inserts something at the same time.

I'm going to put some error message if something else is inserted.
And ConnexionMYSQL is the class that has the sql connectors methods in it. To be completly honest, I just pasted from a project we had to do in class since it had the same structure.
For the parameters, yeah I will eventuallY;

But should I keep my req2 query just like this ? It works but I still don't know why last_insert_id doesn't return anything.
And like I said, it's not a java class error since putting directly the query in phpMyAdmin does the exact same thing.

The Id field is PK and auto_incremented so it shoudn't have any problem.

so your mysql class thing uses a new connection every time.

you probably can also do just.
String req1 = "INSERT into employe (nom, prenom, adresse, idVille) VALUES "
+ "('"+emp.getNom()+"','"+emp.getPrenom()+"', '"+emp.getAdresse()+"', "
+ "(SELECT id FROM ville WHERE Commune='"+emp.getCommune()+"'));"
+ "SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID();";

ResultSet resu = ConnexionMYSQL.getInstance().selectQuery(req1);


so your insert and select get done in the same connection and returns the last id.

it's almost never the mobo when things go wrong, they are a well-tested component

50% of the time it's a PSU issue
25% of the time it's a microcode incompatibility
20% of the time it's poorly seated RAM/CPU/GPU
Other 5% of the time it's the mobo or some other problem like borked power button or bad grounding

Beep code says in the manual gpu not inserted properly, however gives me the same error with 2 different gpus, my old 6850 and my 970 which is.less than a year old. My mobo is a Gigabyte 970A-UD3, 4 y/o. My PSU is a HX650 just 2 y/o. I don't have another PSU to test but it seems fine with the paper clip test, it gets a HDD spinning just fine.

My cpu is a Phenom II 960T, never had problems with it or even overclocked it. Before I couldn't boot anymore, temps of cpu and gpu were normal under load, ~53°c and ~61°c respectively.

your GPU could be receiving insufficient power

you may need to update your BIOS

first step: reset BIOS using clear_cmos jumper + HOLD POWER BUTTON WHILE YOU DO THIS...hold jumper and power button for at least 30 seconds, then try to boot

second step is to remove all non-critical components (all but one stick of RAM, USB, drives, etc)...your only goal now should be to get to BIOS

try booting without gpu inserted and seeing what error codes it gives you

then insert GPU and see if the error code has changed

Hi there

I posted the other day about ordering new parts and they came in today

The problem I'm having is that I've got everything set up like it's supposed to but for some reason my monitor isnt responding to my GPU HDMI connection

I never had this problem before and have tried different cords and even checking to see if I didn't plug something in but as far as I can tell it is working normally

>GPU is receiving power
>Machine turns on normally
>All fans are going

I've even tried plugging the cord into my new MOBOs native HDMI port but still no response from my monitor, except when I unplug it it says "No HDMI signal detected" but it also says that when I plug it in too

My mobo is a Gigabyte AM3+ AMD DDR3 1333 760G HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Motherboard GA-78LMT-USB3

GPU is a MSI GTX 970 4GB

Not a question for a problem, but just for my own knowledge of what the fuck happened -

I just had a hard drive that had failed months ago come back on its own. During some Maintence on my home server my machine was power cycling before POSTing, got it back and didn't think much of it other than this particular hard drive was RAW. No data recovery options worked, I didn't expect them to.

Last night during a storm I suppose my power was interrupted as the machine was off this morning. Lo and behold, the drive was working again, at full transfer speeds no less.

What the fuck just happened and why am I so happy about it.

I want to buy a mini/compact refrigerator to place in my room (USA). I have a moderate-heavy PC with 2 graphics cards which is on most of the time. I also have a PS3 and Xbox360 which I play on occasion while also having my PC on, and then some minor things like a phone charger and a clock.

If I understand correctly, my PC would probably be drawing no more than 5~7 amps, my fridge 1 amp (says on back) with occasional spikes for the compressor (I assume), and then my other things, up to 2 amps at a time max, so 10 amps + a little more for the compressor for a short time, and if I have my info correct, a typical American house has 15A circuits.

So will plugging all these things into the same circuit be OK, or am I missing something here? I just need confirmation because I don't know anything about electricity, and what I do know I just googled.

I have an old Galaxy S3 that I wanted to use as a low-investment media player, but the screen cuts out. When I hit the power button, the screen displays for a split second to 2 seconds before going black. The buttons vibrate when pressed, and the volume rocker beeps, so the phone is working otherwise. When the screen is on, it is washed out and green tinted.

If I smack the phone on my knee a few times, I can get it to work fine, but any small impact to the bottom half of the phone (front or back) causes the screen to turn off again.

I've pulled the back off (down to the motherboard) and reseated all the push-connectors, but it is all still the same.

Not logitech speakers. With most powered speakers 30~50% of the money goes to brand name and the fact that they're powered. Get a decent amp, a cheap DAC, and good speakers. This gives you the FREEDOM to use a much, much wider variety of good speakers rather than the tiny handful of decent powered ones.

A cheap and decent amp like a Lepai LP-2020A+ will be enough to power pretty much any stereo setup. Consider a different amp if you plan to add a sub.

(optional) A cheap DAC like a behringer UCA DAC is good enough. Just avoid the ultra cheap DIY stuff. Good for headphones, or if you just want a DAC. The reason I say this is good for headphones is many amps do not have 3.5mm audio jack outputs, and you'll want some way to control the volume easily. You could opt for a more costly amp that does have a jack, but might as well just get a DAC.

Now you have $150~$180 left for good bookshelf speakers that aren't over the counter best buy powered speakers.

Used is just fine, just like with headphones.

Look for these used but might go over budget
>Polk Audio RTI A1
>Audioengine P4

Within budget for sure
>Polk Audio Tsi100
>Yamaha NS-6490
>Klipsch R-15M

Low budget but good
>Polk Audio T15
>Pioneer sp-bs22
>Micca MB42X

I really just want standalone powered speakers and nothing else
>Audioengine A2+
These are actually good. Usually $250 but maybe you can find used ones for $200, and you'd have your entire budget since no amp, but less versatile if you wanna add a sub

It's an AOC monitor.

This is a long shot, but look at your GPU's driver software (like Nvidia control panel). There's a section on monitors/placement. See if there is any option there that might help you.

Nevermind, I'm just retarded and didn't play with the vertical position option from the physical buttons on the monitor itself.

I read around that if 3 passes get you no errors, the memory is probably not the problem, is that true?

Here's my situation: I get the PC to boot with a single stick of RAM in slot 1, but putting the other one of the kit in slot 2 gives me problems and I can't boot. The memory is not even a year old, it's a kit of 2x4GB g skill sniper DDR3, I just checked I bought it in august of 2015, so I'm not sure if it's the memory. Slot 4 also works with a single stick, but only my old memory fits because of the hyper 212 cooler. RAM in slots 3 & 4 also will not start.

Is it possible that the RAM slots died or something?
