How good is the Intel GMA4500 MHD IGPU?
>>55420122
That's the GPU in my laptop. It works as about all you can really say about it.
Hey, this is my first build after doing tons of research and stuff.
My budget is $800, and I plan to upgrade it in the future.
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/xPgj4C
Any tips? What GPU should I put in?
Thanks, I appreciate it.
>>55420155
Which laptop do you have? i assume a laptop with a G3 C2D.
Can you play 720p@60FPS videos on youtube and the like?
Are the voltage levels of an audio output on a typical computer on a line level?
>>55420157
Wrong motherboard for that CPU, get a Z170 or get a locked CPU, dont get a H110 for a unlocked CPU.
Get a WD Blue HDD or/and a 240GB 850 EVO.
Get a EVGA 650 GS or G2.
Cheaper case maybe?
A better HSF if you will overclock.
mid end motherboard or high end?
>>55420104
Got a new 4k monitor but I can't find a torrent client that supports it. All the buttons are tiny and overlap each other. What do you guys use?
/g/ I fucked up, I downloaded a 3D file converter (that looked legit, mind you) and got a chinese botnet antivirus. Now I am smart enough to delete anything and everything it got me (the fucker even replaced itself as the default antivirus). Now the only file that is left is kdhacker64.sys and this shit is resilient af.
First I have tried deleting it by windows, to no avail of course, then I have tried a force delete tool that deletes upon system restart, did not work. Then I used a tool that detects what blocks the file from deletion, it said nothing is preventing it and should I try to delete upon system restart, did not work. Also I have tried to delete it in admin CMD, access denied every time. Helm me g, It didn't do anything yet but I'm scared.
>>55420232
How much time do you have since this will take some time.
First do the basic scanning.
Adwcleaner>Malwarebytes>JRT
Once you are done with that report back.
>>55420248
Okay will do
>>55420232
use autoruns to see how its being loaded - likely as a driver. disable the autorun, restart, delete the file. if the dev is a crafty fucker, you might have to disable the autorun and immediately reset your pc so it doesn't have chance to reinstate itself. alternatively just boot into the recovery console.
Has anyone been to a coding bootcamp to get into coding?
Thinking about biting the bullet and going to The Iron Yard.
>>55420192
How about this?
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/G8FRGf
>mid end motherboard or high end?
it depends on the pricing
>>55420302
Autorun was the first thing I disabeled, thing is it's not even in the process, details or services.
On malwarebytes scan now.
>>55420318
>ASRock
That is beyond low end.
Get something like a GA-Z170XP-SLI if you want to save money and still get something good.
Get a EVGA 650W PSU.
First, you will overclock, second 550W may not be enough if you will upgrade later on.
>>55420322
if you definitely can't take ownership and delete the file then it's in use - confirm this with handle from sysinternals. depending on whether a single or multiple processes are using it (multiple would generally mean dll injection), you will then need to look harder for the autorun (trust me, it's there) or just force close the handle and delete the file.
as i said previously, booting into the recovery console is the easiest option if you're pleb.
>>55420337

I'm new to Linux and VMs/am fucking retarded and had a question about networking settings in Virtual Box.
I have Virtual Box installed and run two VMs in a Linux Host. The VMs are Windows 7 and Whonix if it matters.
Currently the network is set to the default NAT on both. If I have a VPN configured on the host OS how can I use that protection without configuring it in the guest machines? Does each VM "have it's own IP address have internet access" as per the wiki/sticky and do I need to change the networking settings or will I have to configure my VPN in the Guests?
I tried Virtual Box's website/guide but I'm still not sure
>>55420378
Recommendations help also :D
>>55420371
>I dont understand why I will overclock?
Because you got a Unlocked CPU?
You got a I5-6600k, which is unlocked and you are able to overclock it.
If you wont get a I5-6500 and a B150 motherboard.
Also the motherboard is listed in pcpartpicker:
http://pcpartpicker.com/product/8q38TW/gigabyte-motherboard-gaz170xpsli
How will I know when my computer's dying and what parts specifically?
I'm paranoid it'll fail to start one day (not that I ever turn it off) and I no idea how to troubleshoot to see what parts still work and what's dead.
>>55420378
Everything.
>AMD low end APU
>Low-Mid end videocard
>No SSD
You would need to rebuild everything to replace the motherboard.
Get a Skylake I5, a B150 or Z170 motherboard based on which CPU you got or your budget.
A decent or a cheap SSD.
Reuse the rest.

I'm having some very annoying problems that just came out of nowhere two days ago.
1. My Windows 10 was no longer activated and every time I try to put in an activation code I get "Error installing product key" and the error code being 0xc0000022 when trying to activate it through the System settings in Control Panel. I can't even click anything once I go to the activation section in the Windows 10 settings area either, I get the error code 0xC004F012 followed by:
>Error description: The Software Licensing Service reported that the call has failed because the value for the input key was not found
Absolutely nothing on the internet has helped whatsoever. Not to mention I'm stuck with the activation watermark.
2. Chrome won't open unless I run it as an administrator, but then all my settings are lost. I've tried wiping all the Chrome files after uninstalling it and I tried different versions of Chrome to no avail.
I did install some new RAM two days ago, but does that have anything to do with this?
>>55420378
>>55420394
I kind of in the same boat anon.
I think your processor is a bit underpowered for that GPU.
I have Intel i7-4690 with 16g DDR3 and nvidia gtx 745. I want a better card but it's a pre built and I'm not entirely sure what my motherboard can support.
Google your motherboard and see what processors/GPU it can take and go from there.
>>55420435
So only ram and hard drives typically go bad?
>>55420157
Get a motherboard that allows over-clocking or get a locked CPU and save. They 212 is a good budget cooler, but if you want to get into serious over-clocking look into some of Noctua's coolers. 212 should handle a basic over-clock fine though.
Everything else seems fine. For a GPU I'd say go RX 480. It's new but benchmarks are putting at or above the GTX 970 at a lower cost. Maybe wait for the 1060 and see how it does. The 480 looks like it will fit your budget perfectly though. Just don't get a reference version. After-market boards have better coolers and clock speeds because of it.
Basically get the build where you want it and then spend the rest getting the GPU with the best benchmarks you can find.
Also, lots opf people like a small SSD to boot their OS from and a HDD for storage. A 1 TB drive is plenty for most people and an SSD boot is fast and really nice, but going with a big HDD won't be a hindrance. Seagate is fine but Western Digital is considered better. Personally never has an issue with a Seagate but maybe see what you can do.
How good is the i7 6500u for everyday tasks ( notes, small projects, college type stuff) and for gaming?
>>55420371
Wel while I don't like Asrock they make decent motherboards these days, my favourite however is still Gigabyte.
Now you have to consider a few things,
Getting an unlocked CPU is worth it if you want to overclock, but if you wish to save some money buy a locked CPU, like an i5 6500 along with a cheaper cooler just for the silence, since you do not need the cooling power and a motherboard with a H110, H170 or B150 chipset.
Second, you only got one stick of RAM, while motherboards are in the vast majority dual-channel, which means you would be better off buying a dual stick ram combo.
Third, I would rather get a 240GB SSD than a 1TB HDD, but that's your choice.
Fourth, a quality 400W supply is enough to power all the parts and the graphics card (up to 150W that is). Go with a 500W PSU from a trusted manufactuer, such as Antec, EVGA, Seasonic, Superflower, be quiet!, etc...
I will do a build more suited for you and post it in a reply to you.
>>55420454
Usually.
Unless you are overclocking CPU and motherboard will last till you get bored of your computer.
>>55420442
>I7-4690
Dont you mean I5-4690?
Anyway if you replace your PSU you might be able to upgrade to whatever you want.
Or add a GTX 950 75w which can be powered from the motherboard and wont need a PCI power cable.
How can I fix my soundbar cutting out for a fraction of a second before playing sound? Really frustrating, when I start an episode of something on Netflix, or a Blu Ray, the intro won't play for that little bit of time for example.

>>55420442
GTX 745 ought to be just standard PCIE, no?
Any mainstream GPU ought to work. Just Google your motherboard model if you're worried.
>>55420465
Shouldn't be any problems with that CPU. I have seen some dual cores in laptops lately, although I don't see the point in a dual core i7.

What do you think about this?
and >>55420473 I would absolutely love if you did that, but only if you want to
>>55420378
The GPU is kinda entry level/mainstream, 8GB of RAM is fine for gaming. Your CPU looks like a bottleneck. Save and do a new build or upgrade your CPU to the best your socket can hold and rebuild even later. An FX 8350 would probably do much better if they're the same socket, just check your wattage and make sure your PSU can handle it.
>>55420506
This looks better but get a I5-6500 and save a bit more.
Add a 850 EVO if you can afford it.
Get a Sapphire RX 480 or wait for aftermarket GTX 1070.
>>55420503
The computers I'm looking at would have either a 940mx or a 950m, not really high end but hopefully enough to game at 1080p.
I will not look at the i5 u's because dual core, but I'm hoping the hyperthreading will help slightly with multitasking, at least on light loads
>>55420483
Sorry, i7-4790.
What do you guys do with your old GPUs? I got 2 770 and no need for them anymore.
>>55420490
Yea I believe it's a standard pcie.
Shittiest part of having a pre built is the limitations for upgrades. It was in my budget and it plays all the games I want it to, have only really struggled with far cry 4.
>>55420571
I don't have any, still running a gt 610
>>55420571
Sell them?
Or put it in another PC for a friend or something.
>>55420506
Here you go.
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/fnnbjc
The CPU is good enough for any game you throw at it, the cooler for it is nothing special but is very silent, the motherboard has everything you can possibly need, 8GB of DDR4 is enough for a few years to come and I have replaced the HDD with a 240GB SSD. Also I have swapped your case with a bit better one, the best case for new builders and looks very nice, the PSU is nothing special but will get the job done.
Now for the GPU I went with an RX 480, however I highly recommend waiting for aftermarket versions, or maybe waiting for the 1060 if it won't be a paper launch.
>>55420506
Better, PSU seems a little overkill but EVGA makes good ones. Not a bad build. New CPU fits the MoBo better since it's now locked.
Cases I honestly go cheap because all it needs to do is hold my motherboard, have a front panel with a power button and USB 3.0 and mic/headphone slots (duh, standard shit), have the internal and external drive bays I need, be able to manage cables (also basic/standard) and have spots for fans for airflow. It sits under my desk and doesn't have to be super cool looking. Minimalism with functionality is fine.
Your case seems good, but maybe you can save a little and put it elsewhere. Maybe look it over again once your hardware is decided.
And for a GPU I think something in the neighborhood of 200 would be good for you. Look into the RX 480
>>55420593
Get a better HSF, the 212 EVO was fine and works great.
PNY SSDs are shit, get an Sandisk SSD (Plus or Ultra), get a 850 EVO over anything and a SP550 if you are really short on cash but want a decent SSD.
Sell them, scrape together a Home Theater PC if it suits you? Give it to a friend looking to do a build maybe?
>>55420573
Well does your PSU have a cable for extra power to a GPU or does it get all its power from the motherboard?
So today my desktop wouldn't turn on. Like, I'd hit the power button multiple times, but nothing happened.
I unplugged it from the wall and plugged it back in and now it works again.
I'm worried, is this a signal of something dying?
My PSU is pretty new (10 months old), but my mobo and CPU are "already" from 2011.
>>55420593
Your build is near perfect for me, but my problem is that it (albiet according to pcpartpicker) it cant hold an optical drive.
I also rather an HDD over an SDD because ill need the space for cheap.
What sounds should a normal HDD be making? I've lived with flash storage for 4 years so I forgot. From my WD Blue drive, I hear barely audible clicks when its idle.
>>55420642
Does it atleast POST?
Does the PSU fan turn on.
Got a PSU starter?
>>55420687
No sound at all.
A worn one would make grinding noises but nothing to be worried about.
Clicking is a bad noise, post SMART data.(Speccy>Storage>SMART for a quick way to read it).
Can someone here please tell me how to connect my led cable (bottom book) to my mobo (top book)?
>>55420697

Literally nothing happened, no fan, nothing on the screen, not even the little LED around the case.
>Got a PSU starter?
Idk what that is so probably not.

You can disable saving passwords, why not automatically save passwords? :c
What would be the best way to do this?
>>55420571
that's a shame because they'll have minimal resale value. you could use one of them to build a ridiculously overpowered emby server or htpc and keep the second as a spare.
>>55420699
it definitely doesn't connect to a usb header. you need the front panel header layout, but it's probably printed on the board.
>>55420713
A black block that usually comes with PSUs to turn them on.
>>55420699
Is this for the front panel of the case? Usually your motherboard has a little array of pins and next to them they've got what each set does.
Like so: http://m.gigabyte.us/WebPage/141/images/step7-1.jpg
Iin your case your power button needs to be on the side with 2 pins. Does the power button work? Then I'd assume it's either the ones next to the power button or the next over? It's just an LED. test it and see if it turns on when it should. Technically you don't even need it I don't think. One is your power button which you need. One set lights up the power button, the other lights up an LED for when the HDD is going, and then there's a reset button (or you just use the OS option or hit the power button twice.)
Aside from power and reset the others are just little LED indicators.

It depends really on the CPU. I have a 1-Core Celeron (1.3GHz), supposedly its certified for BluRay 1080p decoding. However it struggles at 1080p, plays fine but everything else slows down trying to get the video to play. So if a Celeron a can barely handle it, surely much higher end C2D should do fine

If you're getting connection timed out that means packets aren't getting through or there's something else not properly set up.
Problems started adding the router into the picture so it's even more indicative that it's a problem with port forwarding or something with your router.
Go on your router settings and check your firewall settings or disable it.
If that does nothing look up your router model on portforwarding.com and check out how to set up a static IP and how to forward ports to that static IP.
>>55422329
Also you could just set up a DMZ just to see if that fixes anything. If it does you'd wanna port forward like I said cause leaving a DMZ isn't exactly safe.
>>55422329
Oh, it's definitely the problem. When I remove it, things work just fine. I need to use the router though.
Port is forwarded and the firewall is disabled. No change.

How future-proof is GTX970 compared to 1070?

>>55422576

>>55422464
1070 is overkill for 1080p60
>>55422464
Futureproofing is stupid.
If you don't play demanding games and you want to save yourself the difference, the 970 is fine. The 1070 is quite a big step-up and if you play modern titles it's an easy choice. If you sit somewhere in the middle I'd say go with the 1070 since it's arguably better value for "future-proofing"
Assuming you don't use heavily threaded applications i7 is something you could do without and spend on something like an SSD or compromise with the 1070 with. Personally for games and whatnot I'd take a an i5/1070 instead of a i7/970 build any day.

I'm just wondering if 970 is still a relevant card to buy even though it'll be 2 years old soon. At the moment I'm looking to play some of last year's AAA titles and maybe a few more coming this year.
Another question: is i5 enough for streaming purposes?

I have Dell Ultrasharp U2312HM 1080p atm and I don't get much tearing. If it does happen forcing triple buffering from Nvidia control panel solves it.

I've got U2412M. I'll see if I can do that. I just assumed it was a defect. I've had it for like 2-3 years now. I gave up on playing some games like The Witcher because it was too distracting. I've got AMD R290 Tri-X, but I believe I can do something similar.

Does anyone know about DIY PC brand tower cases? I have my eyes on pic related, and it comes with 6 (six) installed fans, which seems too good for a <$60 case, so I'm worried about stepping into a trap.
Anything decent for labeling cables? I want to label them in our cabinet at work, but not self adhesive.
Basically like a tag I can just take on and off when I want.
if i upgrade my haswell i5 to a haswell i7 (same socket, same tdp of 84 watts) can i still use the heatsink from the i5? i saw a good deal on the chip i wanted on superbiiz but it says oem and weight 0.07 lbs so presumably it's nothing but the chip.
thanks

Need someone network savy (just router shit) to help me real quick.
Want to set up Quality of Service on my router. The connection to the house is 1.2MB at best, on average probably 0.90MB. Apparently the exchange our ISP feeds us through is having some congestion problems leaving us with a much slower connection and fucking things up a little bit.
Used to be that the connection could handle me playing an online game and two other people streaming however, with the lessened connection some shit has changed. As soon as someone watches any type of video (or similar bandwidth hogging) my ping blasts off to about 1000ms - 2000ms.
Is there any way of ensuring I get priority using QoS? Or better yet capping select devices (via mac address) to a certain amount of the connection?
There's at most two other people on the net whilst I am so if I cap them at say 0.4MB each it means that when they both are on I have 0.2 - 0.4MB to work with (should be fine for gayms). And if only one of them is on I get like 0.6 - 0.8MB.
Router is D-Link DSL-2750B, found the QoS options but they seem to be really customisable and there's a shit load of things that I have no idea what they mean.

Alright here's my full review
-you absolutely don't need the noobkiller ultra vengeance pro gamer striker motherboard for this build. SOOO many expansion slots for such a bare bones system
-like >>55424776 said, drop the unlocked processor and the 212 evo, locked ones come with a fan.
-spend the money you save on a cheaper mobo/cpu on more storage >>55424776
-cd/dvd drive?
i'd probably go with a micro atx board if i were you, 2 dimm slots for your ram, 2-4 sata, and one pci-e for the rx-480. Means you might also be able to get a smaller case, just make sure the GPU fits in it.
Good luck.

>>55425161
Not that guy, but yes. A dual setup,120 gb SSD for the OS and other programs you need to load quickly, with a 1TB HDD for long-term file storage, is a fine setup, though by fixing your build you can easily budget for a 256gb SSD and 1TB HDD
I have a dual monitor setup with my TV hooked up to my computer via HDMI. My old TV died so I bought a new one and hooked it up. My problem is, the old TV wouldn't be shown at start-up as a third monitor but on the new TV it is. So if I decide to watch Netflix, Amazon Prime, Youtube, porn, whatever the fuck I watch when I fall asleep, the next time I turn my computer on the firefox window will be on the third monitor, or my TV.
It's become an annoyance because I have to turn on my TV and then drag the window over and then turn the TV off every single day. How do I get my computer to NOT recognize my TV unless the TV is turned on?
>>55426336
Also, the same question applies to my sound. Whenever I hop in bed and watch shows/movies on my computer on the TV, I have to set the sound to go through the TV. Every single day that I get back on my computer, I have to swap the sound back around even when the TV is off.
>>55426336
There's probably a setting in the television to disable that feature.

For I have seen, the RX 480 doesn't beat the 390. I don't really know what I should do. The difference in price isn't big in the end. What's the point of the RX 480 ? power efficiency ? I thought it was meant to replace the R9 380 which costed 200€

you have to understand amd if you're going for one of their cards, theirs are an investment. their performance increases the longer you have it essentially, this has always been the case as driver support improves. if the rx 480 can beat the 390 now in many titles and only lose in a few, you can be sure it will be much better later
Also, way more performance/watt.

1. rx480 does beat 390 comfortably in 90% of the reviews
2. 390 power consumption is nearing 300W, rx480 is around 160W
what you should do is wait for 7th july for gtx1060 to be announced
week after that sales should commence
at 22th july non reference versions of rx480 should be available

Today I got an upgrade in internet speed and the people from the ISP came over to change the modem for a newer one, which has wireless built-in, effectively killing the need for a router.
The guy configuring it asked me what to call the network and the password for wifi. The password was so simple I thought he couldn't fuck it up so I didn't bother to try it, but then after they left I go and reconfigure my devices only to find out he didn't set it as I told him and I can't connect jack shit.
So I try going into the router settings, look up the ip needed to access it (192.168.0.1), but it can't connect to it, gets stuck loading for minutes and times out. Next I try using my own default gateway ip, which does connect, but it asks for username and password.
Everything on the web tells me it's a combination of "admin" on both, on one or the other or both blank, but none of them work.
After getting fed up I factory reset the modem to start from zero, and not one of those things work anyway.
Now the network shows up on my phone with the default name but the button to connect is grayed out so I can't even try that.
What the hell am I doing wrong?

I just bought a new headset today - Logitech H600 wireless - and I followed the instructions by charging the headset and then plugging in the wireless adapter. I turned on the headset, and my computer acted as if it was not connected. I tried to pair the headset and the wireless adapter twice, I have restarted my computer twice, and I'm not sure what I can do to fix this. Is there any solution? If you read this whole thing, thank you for at least trying to help a guy out.

What do you mean by "using my own default gateway ip", and what does it say at the top when prompting you for your username and password. Are you able to acess this prompt and internet from a wired pc. Also you have looked at all the shit on the bottom of your modem, right?

let me rephrase that, i already have this server running. it runs ubuntu server and i use it as a plex server, file server, seed box, and whatever else i need in the future. it has a core2duo e8400 which gets maxed out if something needs to be transcoded and i doubt it'd be able to handle 2 streams that need transcoding (although i haven't tested that yet).
i saw the core2 extreme QX6850 on ebay for only 50 bucks and it has twice the passmark score but i wasn't sure if there was something better
So, what's the best replacement for the horrid Windows default image viewer?

Many results talked about using cmd to test your modem's ip address in case the default one didn't work. So typing ipconfig in a command window spits your ip.
It says this. Nothing too fancy but no default password seems to work. And from what I can tell this is entirely different to the page 192.168.0.1 should send me to.
I am on my PC right now. The wired internet itself is working fine, but I can't change the wireless password because the config page times out.
Well fuck me, apparently on its bottom there's a sticker. Apparently it's a TC7300.d1E model, if that makes any difference. And what do you know, it also has an SSID and a password. Too bad no combination of them work.

Didn't research. Didn't realize that Google hates freedom and doesn't want me to install something else on it.
It's the Asus C300; I've already removed the write-protect screw and put it in dev mode. I've got the script up now and it's asking me to choose between RW_LEGACY and BOOT_STUB.

>>55427631
When I asked about your default gateway ip, I was trying to make sure you hadn't messed with your ipv4 settings under local connection (which should all be blank).
For administration you should definitely be trying to reach 192.168.0.1, even if your browser is trying to redirect you. Have you tried password 4135279? If that doesn't work, I would try a 30-30-30 reset, where you hold the reset button on your modem down for 30 seconds, unplug the power for 30 seconds while still holding it down, then plug it back in for 30 seconds before finally releasing the reset button
>>55427946
if it's supports a custom bios there shouldn't be any issues
>>55427952
That's the thing, it's not even trying to redirect me. It just tries to connect for several minutes until it eventually times out. It should take me to this page. It doesn't.
192.168.1.254 takes me to previous pic.
192.168.0.1 should take me to this pic, but doesn't ever connect.
If you mean just trying that password without a username, then it doesn't work. Otherwise I don't know what to pair it with.
At this point I'm about to call back my ISP and just take the shame. It's technically my fault for not testing the password before the guy left, but c'mon it was an easy fuckin password. I didn't think it could possibly go wrong.

Username admin, password 4135279. The 30-30-30 would remove any weird setting somebody might have put on your modem. But there's nothing wrong with calling the company. Maybe they put some kind of custom firmware on there, and maybe you'll learn something
>>55428309
That's how I got where I am; although most of the Ubuntu ones I saw were for a psuedo-installation (ChromeOS still there, whereas I'm trying to get rid of the damn thing).

Call me a pussy but I'd rather not try 30-30-30. It looked like the modem came new in the box anyway so I think I can scratch out shady tampering of it.
Also, I saw the guy used mainly a tablet and calling another guy to set it up. It could potentially be related. It didn't occur to me on the spot to ask how to change the password later if I happened to need to. Guess this is what I get for being retarded.

>>55428454
It's not some vodoo that's gonna do crazy ass shit to your modem. It's just a good way to make sure you're actually doing a hard reset, which is just a simple settings wipe and a cache reload. Worst case it removes some login password that the company put on it, and your call to them ends up lasting an extra 30 seconds. And even that is unlikely since you're not using DSL
>>55428311
Power off the device.
Next hold and press Volume Up + Volume Down + Power button until you see menu.
In this menu choose option Recovery using Volume Down to navigate, and Volume Up.
* If Volume Up doesn't work, then use Power button to select.
Now you will see yellow triangle and Android logo.
Then press Volume Down + Volume Up to see menu.
Please use Volume buttons to browse option "wipe data / factory reset", and confirm that using Power button.
Select option "Yes -- delete all user data".
After that accept "reboot system now".
