Why is there no partition sda4 on this system?
This is my current monitor:
http://www.amazon.com/Dell-UltraSharp-1708FP-17-Inch-Monitor/dp/B001P510CQ
I've been looking at these two:
http://www.amazon.com/Dell-S2415H-24-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00M9B3XZW
http://www.amazon.com/Dell-E2414Hr-24-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00FE8MKTM
The latter's much cheaper, but I don't have enough experience with monitors to know if getting the more expensive one is better. The reviews make it sound incredible. Is it worth it?
What am I doing wrong?
I'm currently learning C++ from a book and I'm at chapter 11 "Exceptions". The program just stops working:
main
try
{
double fraction;
fraction = division(12.0, 5.0);
cout << fraction << endl;
fraction = division(12.0, 0); // Exception
cout << fraction << endl;
}
catch (invalid_argument& e)
{
cout << endl << e.what() << endl;
}
return 0;
division(double numerator, double denominator)
if (denominator = 0)
{
invalid_argument e("Error: Division by zero");
throw e;
}
return numerator / denominator;

Hello, /g/entlemen.
In the last two days I have been b& twice because I'm seen as an exit node/VPN. Of course I have neither. Any idea what could be going on? Recently xfinity wifi forces its way in and switches me from my home wifi to its wifi. Is this why? I switch it back as soon as I notice but am a little worried to say the least.
Thank you.

I have Debian machine without access to internet. Currently, my only way of downloading packages is using another machine to get the .deb files from the Debian repository site and then transfer them to the offline computer.
Thing is, having to download each dependency for each package at a time is an arduous process. I can't download the Debian DVD isos, can't buy them, and can't install any specialized software on the machine with online access.

Is 144Hz just a meme? Or is it actually worth the money? I guess the only game I'd be able to use it in, and the only game I'd want it to make a difference is CS:GO. Seems too much of an ask just to play one game. Is it worth buying for just normal desktop browsing and shitposting?
I also don't know whether I should get a 24" or 27" monitor. The jump up in price between the two is quite significant. Would you say a 27" gives an equally significant jump up in quality and satisfaction to justify the price? I'd like to watch films on it and play some games.

Stick with Windows 7 or install Windows 10?
I've got a bootable USB drive here with all versions of Windows ready to install, just waiting for my SSD to arrive tomorrow morning and my PC will be complete. Obviously it's torrented so I guess I could just give Windows 10 a try for a while, see how I feel, then reinstall windows 7 later.

I've never tried a 120 or 144 Hz monitor but I also play CS on my shitty 60 Hz and I would kill for a 144 Hz monitor. Just getting rid of the dancing tear lines would be worth it but even beyond that, 60 Hz is noticeable limiting in a game like CS. As far as 24 vs 27 inch goes they're both the same resolution and 24 is more than fine for gaming and overall desktop computing. Unless you like watching movies on it or play games from a distance (using a gamepad) I don't see the value in a 27 inch. If you're in demand for screen real estate because you're a coder/web designer/graphic artist, you're better off getting multiple monitors.

Most people consume caffeine in forms that are not very concentrated and thus have very low danger of many harmful side effects, also it's not really all that addictive long-term.

I've got a spare ssd and no second system to put it in, what do
So I bought a refurbished t420 off of ebay and I've had it for a few months. Everything has been all cool and fine except these past few weeks.
I noticed it when i plugged in my laptop to charge and the battery icon blinked 3 times, stopped, blinked 3 more times, and then it disappeared. I opened it up to make sure it was charging and it wasn't just the light being weird.
But, sadly, it wasn't the light and it wasn't charging.
So i looked up what was happening on google and it said it was most likely the battery.
Sooooo, i went on ebay and bought a 9-cell t420 battery and popped it in my thinkpad and plugged it in to charge. Low-and-behold the battery light was steady and it was charging.
Well all was fine until about an hour later and i noticed it wasn't charging. So then I thought it was because i was plugging in the charger on a power-strip that was full.
So i plugged it into a strip that wasnt full and it still isnt charging.
Anyone had the same problem? I dont want to keep spending money on other items that end up not helping. Do i need a new laptop? Or just an adapter?

For one of my upcoming classes I need access to a Linux system, so I wanted to dual boot Windows 10 and Ubuntu. Should I put both OS's on the SSD or just Windows? Any help is appreciated.

Doesn't matter really.

Sometimes things slip through the cracks man.
Better to be safe than sorry.

The fans spinning can cause the motor that drives them to act as a generator, inducing a current and possibly damaging the fan/fan header.
>>51906695
TV, or monitor?
if you mean monitor, have you tried searching "displayport monitor" on amazon? there are tons. I prolly misunderstood your question tho cuz I find it too stupid.
>>51906727
Get 256 GB. I was really starting to run out of space on my 128 when I started dual booting.
>>51906762
Michaelsoft Security Essentials is good enough.
My PC can't recognize an android phone, which is a Galaxy Y Duos. The phone charges, but it won't show the USB connectivity icon. My computer can recognize my USB drives without any problems, so I guess it's on the smartphone's end? What can I do? Im on Win 7
>>51906689
it should work anyway even if they're different size.
and most mobos have raid functionality. it's not limited to raid cards or windows software.
>>51906692

>>51906727
on the SSD if you want it to boot and load programs fast.
get a 2TB HDD, they're almost the same price and you get double the storage.
also intel, samsung or sandisk brand on the SSD i hope.
>>51906787
yeah it's worth it. prices have dropped quite a bit and you quickly use up 120GB.
>>51906784

you should not have more than 1 active (real time) antivirus.
I was thinking of buying a 980ti. In my country these cost 1k should i wait? Apparently there is something to do with DX12 on the horizon soon?
>>51906787
>>51906747
Ubuntu would only get used whenever the class has a project, or just whenever I feel like messing with Linux. Given this, would it be more optimal to only have Windows on the SSD, and then set a partition on the HDD for Ubuntu?
Firefox switching to GTK3 made it very inconvenient to save images to my 20600+ image folder, the wait is just too long.
What are some download managers for Firefox (can be 4chan specific) that won't choke on my image folder?
Can you use an amd hraphics card with an intel processor?
>>51906828
you have to select the right mode on the phone when you plug it in
>>51906842
dx12 = win10
it's fucking retarded asking us if it's worth buying, especially when you live in a different fucking country and the exchange rates on money and your country's cost of living makes it fucking impossible for us to even guess.
>>51906843
If you don't plan on using Ubuntu all that much, just install in in a VM, such as VirtualBox. Make sure you install the guest additions so the mouse cursor is passed through and isn't shitty.
Is there an android app that I can download on my tablet to play songs. If the song has a music video downloaded with it, it plays the music video, otherwise equalizer? I want to mount my tablet in my car and make it look cool idk
>>51906883
I go in the "USB utilitary" options, and Connect memory to PC, and it gives me nothing. Says "USB connected, remove the cable" but its effect is like nothing, the phone is still charging yet I can't browse the smartphone's files and shit.
Also my PC keeps trying to recognize the USB device over and over and over
>>51906883
As a general principally the prices just scale. GPU's don't just become randomly priced because it's a different country. My question amounts to is a 980ti cost effective at the moment or not, since it made be replaced relatively soon. I have a 760 (2gb) but i'm noticing more games running on medium/high instead of high/ultra. God damn.
>>51906700
googled it and all i found is places to get it repaired for more than my laptop was worth.
Any other ideas?
>>51906870
Yes.
>>51906884
It will be used over the course of a semester, potentially more. For the upcoming semester for C++ programming. Would a virtual machine be sufficient for that?
>>51906843
it would be exactly the same except faster on the ssd.
>>51906870
why the fuck would you not be able to?
>>51906884
this is good idea
>>51906918
try a different cable
>>51906930
YOU have to decide if the price is worth it for the performance. read benchmark reviews.
>>51906938
add search term like HOW TO or GUIDE or TUTORIAL.
>>51906966
more than enough. it would be a lot easier and less hassle once you dont need it any more either since you wont have to mess with the boot loader.
Okay, I got a fast one.
I usually avoid YouTube video downloaders because they're either shit or they're malware.
But now, I find myself needing to take shit off to fuck with the video.
So I ask you a stupid and simple question- What is a decent YouTube downloader that won't rape my computer?
>>51906834
>4th fucking word you blind fuck.
I was asking because I know people who call their monitors "TV"
in that case, no. Stick with 60hz or enable the shitty fake smooth 144hz conversion feature available on the smart TV's. retard.

I'm asking for recommendations you fucking autist. I, unlike you, can acknowledge there might be things I've overlooked or don't understand, so I'm asking for advice. Fucking SQTs always attract these vapid "answer as many questions without answering anything" pseudo intellectual tossers trying to stroke their own ego. Go make yourself feel important elsewhere.

I made a note for my linux machine, but I needed it for a windows machine.

some of these are already on by default (either through the program itself or through windows) so check that before you go around messing shit up.
also dont download a bunch of random fucking "system optimizing" or "maintenance" programs. they'll most likely fuck your shit up more than if you did nothing.

I've got a 128 gig ADATA SX900 Solid State Drive hooked up to my laptop doing a backup right now.
A few hours ago it was pulling about 50 mb/s, now it's doing 8.8. It's really hot too.

Hey, anyone know what the hell is fsavailux.exe is or does? Goes thst ahit is killing my performance.
how do i change the color of the blue panel highlight using xfce?
>>51907699
forgot image
>>51907600
no
>>51907665
>>51907748
I did. The answer are thst it is a exe from the windows system and that I should download their program to do a registry check. This is repeated in 10 websites, and the one windows thread about it does say what it is or what is it doing.
Tl;dr: already searched google, otherwise I wouldn't be here.
>>51907795
how 'bout you try what they say?
>>51907868
Trying what they say does fuck all about my question about what the fuck is it and what does it do.
I don't want a fix, I want information regarding the nature of it. If you don't fucking know, please stop ordering me to do shit anyone with half a brain would do.
>>51907921
>fsavailux.exe
I fucking googled it for you. It's one of those numerous autometed shit that windows has. It says it's a disc check utility. You can try turning it off from your task scheduler. But from my experience with Windows, especially 10, no amount of disabling or registry hacking will stop Windows from running automated shit. Ditch your botnet and use another OS.
>>51907921
But why do you want to know what it does?
Just fix it, and it won't bother you anymore
Got some MySQL for you /g/
When I run this script:
USE music;
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS addHours;
DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE addHours
(
IN album_id_param INT,
IN hrs_added_param DECIMAL (65, 1)
)
BEGIN

WHILE hours_listened < hrs_listened_param + hrs_added_param DO
UPDATE albums
SET hours_listened = hours_listened + 1.0;
END WHILE;
END //
CALL addHours(5, 50.0);
I get an error code 1054 saying it doesn't know what "hours_listened" is in the field list, even though I know it's spelled right and I know it's in the albums table. Pic very related, album table and all it's columns is in bottom right corner.
I just installed arch and I was fucking around with some simple c++ code. For some reason, g++ cant compile it, citing a linking error. Strange thing is it's correct syntax wise and all files are located in the same folder. Any suggestions?

Sounds like grub didnt detect your kernel when it was installed. Use your install disc/usb to boot from, chroot over to your hdd linux install, run grub-mkconfig and make sure it detects your install.
>>51908208
Sorry but I'm a Mint user and don't understand any of that command line stuff. Is there a .exe or a .deb that I can download to do that for me?
>>51908112
>use the code tag...
I did smart one.
You know what? I already figured it out. I'm gonna post the solution to my own question that no one helped me with:

Boot up some random linux livecd and do a update-grub
I decided to stream some Black Desert closed beta for my friends earlier, and realized that my CPU (i7-4790k overclocked to 4.7) was hitting 86 degrees. I'm not sure how long it was up there, but my stream only lasted 20 minutes, so it was 20 minutes max. Was it long enough to do damage to the chip? I know the max was supposedly 92, but I'm uncomfortable with the thought of it even getting past 80

Yeah, my liquid cooler should be here soon. Thanks for the reply. I was worried I had toasted it. I'm still fairly new to the overclocking scene, and had never seen it hit that high, even in benchmarks.
Looking for help with my video cards.
Here's my build - http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nyF9FT
I've had the 7950's for about a year and a half now, and they're giving me nothing but problems. Constant overheating with idle temps at 65C, and crossfiring & overclocking are iffy at best. It's a struggle to run games like Far Cry 4, Just Cause 3, Fallout 4, etc. And the drivers, holy shit the drivers. Crimson has done nothing but screw up my system even more, with crimson causing artifacting and other issues, and the UI is just terrible. I love waiting 4 months for new drivers, only to find out they still suck.
I've got a 144hz monitor, but only really give a shit about 144hz in CSGO, so all I'm looking for is a video card that can support 60+fps / 1080p (1440p in a year or so) , and can handle dual monitors, but gaming only on one of them.
My budget is ~$375, but can go higher / lower depending on what's out there. I've mainly been looking at the 970's, but is the 970 4GB, better than my current cards, even with all their problems? I'm not picky on Radeon or Nvidia, just looking for the best bang for my buck at the moment. I'm sure I'm excluding / missing some important details, so if I do, just let me know if I am.
If need be I can post Speccy / GPUZ / anything else if more info is required.
Thanks -

Yes, unity is a desktop environment used by default on ubuntu. There's also a proprietary game engine called unity
why are there so many TV shows with titles like "The _____"
>>51908506
You don't need a video card, most CPUs come with an integrated GPU these days

Computer shuts off randomly. Used to be very infrequent, now it's become a problem. Checking out my ram, I'm noticing one stick now won't stay in. Seems to be the slot, the lite bits that secure it in don't seem to fit around it. Why might this be?
>>51908542
>integrated GPU
I miss a memo?
When was it acceptable to recommend an integrated GPU?
Can I squeeze anymore out of my GPU for the upcoming newer games at better-than-low settings are is it time for an upgrade?
>>51908567
You mean those little latchy things on either side that secure the RAM in place? I dunno, check with a flashlight for any obstructions in the slot that might be preventing it from going in. See if a different stick will fit in the slot, maybe that stick is broken or deformed somehow. All else fails jsut try running the computer without a stick in that slot at all and see if things seem more stable, likely the slot is busted.
Though random shutdowns can be other things too, a bad PSU for example.
>>51908506
970 is head-over-heels better than your current config. Should take you to 60fps/1080p for the next few years or so, but probably not on high/ultra settings. Might also wanna look into 290x, more vram (970 only has access to 3.5gb), but some people say it's slightly slower.
>>51908542
He needs a vid card if he wants to play video games.

A few minutes ago one of my hard drives suddenly dissapeared for no reason on W7. Shat my pants since its where I have all my important shit and I have no backup. Turned it off (it took 5 mins to turn off, I didnt want to fuck it further), and then on again and its back, other than a corrupt vm that was running everything seems fine.
Any idea what could have caused it?
Anything I should look for in the event viewer?
Other than chkdsk what can I do to ensure integrity?
This is a good question but bear with me a bit long.
Had video file .mkv that was corrupt on ext hdd. Kept restarting at a certain point. Got the md5. Redownloaded from same exact link. New download has different md5. I delete corrupt one off external drive and copy new one over to external drive. Now new copy has same EXACT md5 of old shit .mkv.
I am certain I recopied the brand new download. Old .mkv is gone.
Anyone ever experienced this? Even if it was bad ram or bad hdd would what is the likeliness the md5 ends up the same? Somewhere in the copy the same bits are being changed. Can it possibly be explorer?
>>51908692
Is it external?
How many times has this happened?
>>51908597
I'm becoming worried it may be the psu after some cursory Google searches as well.
I did check a while ago with ago light to search for obstructions, and there are none. Maybe in the joints of the fasteners on the slot. Hmm.
I've been noticing in the task manager that the percentage of physical memory usage is very high, pretty much double what it should be for my four (lol) gigs of ram. Computer only seems to shut down when doing something memory intensive. Gonna clean out all my dust thoroughly tomorrow, hopefully that will help. I've had dust problems before.
I have a laptop running off vgasave as the graphics card died, no integrated graphics. Is there any way to allocate system RAM to act as a crutch or is it kill?
>>51908692
>Any idea what could have caused it?
normal wear and tear. low temp.
>Other than chkdsk what can I do to ensure integrity?

>>51908694
you fucked up and removed the wrong file.
there is no way it can get the same MD5 as the old corrupt file.

why would you want to see more penises? just because you CAN do something doesn't make it desirable
>>51908786
>You mean high?
no. temp below 40 can actually cause more damage.
>>51908795
the only way you can get the same md5 is if your system somehow managed to put it on the exact same place on the drive that has a damaged sector.
and the odds for that are astronomical. you fucking up however is very likely.

>>51908975
Yes, it was using it since it was running on the drive that disapeared (I have ssd for os and programs and mechanical for everything else). I dont know if it was the vm that disconnected it, how can I know?
>>51908904
>wingsofredemption
almost as big of a sperg as cvpi
>>51909028
Is the vm os installed sonewhere on the drive? Or is it simply storig some files there like a shared drive?
Next time the drive dissappears check disk management to see f it's still ptesent and windows sees it but like it's missig a drive letter or something. If the vm is installed on the drive and th drive dissappears but the os doesn't crash then he vm still has access to the drive.
Malwatebytes is pretty much the best solution still.
If a monitor is supposedly factory calibrated does that included stuff like gamma/brightness/contrast or just the colors?

weird, my ES File Explorer encrypts and decrypts folders just fine.

Asking again:
I just bought an Asus H170 board for my locked i5 processor. A mistake? Should I have gotten a Z170 instead?
Asking because you can overclock locked CPUs now, using certain boards.
Can anyone give me a brief rundown of why I arbitrarily get low framerates sometimes? For example, I was playing the game Vindictus and my GPU never reached past 40% usage and my CPU was around 20%, but the framerate was still was fluctuating a ton and the highest I got was around 45.
I can play MGSV at a solid 60fps, why wouldn't I be able to play a much worse looking game like that as well?

Throwing a hail mary here...
I just recently decided to move from an ATX mid tower to a mini ITX build. I bought a GA-Z97N-WIFI and a Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX. PSU is a Seasonic X-850, CPU is an i5-4690k, GPU is a Sapphire Tri-X R9 290. All parts except the motherboard and case are old, they worked together in a previous build. However, after putting it all together, it doesn't work. No fans spinning, no lights, no sounds, nothing. I've tested voltages on the case switch pins and the PSU on and power ok pins on the ATX 24 pin connector, everything looks good, I pulled the board out with everything connected to see if it was shorting with the case, it still didn't work. Normally I would assume this was a DOA motherboard, but I just sent back a different board for the same reason and I've never had a problem with Gigabyte. Does anyone have any insights that might help?

nah. Z-mobo would be useless anyway since the cpu is locked.
you should have gotten an i5-K (unlocked) and a Z170 motherboard.
>Asking because you can overclock locked CPUs now, using certain boards.
you have always been able to do that, but you also have to OC the mobo and ram.
>>51909523
screenshot game video settings would help, but vsync comes to mind.

Hi /g/,
Last week my computer kept getting blue screens. Each one, after I restarted, was a 1033 error, which I've associated with GPU drivers. I updated my GPU drivers and hoped the issue would be fixed, however the computer again blue screened. It did this several times that day and the following days. Each error, when one was presented, had to do with drivers when I looked them up online. They were things like SYSTEM_MEMROY_FAULT and a few others that I can't recall. In addition to that, the computer would just randomly restart (with a brief flash of bluescreen) and then want to be booted in safe mode.
However, after rebooting, it would sometimes not find my OS (windows 7) at all and just hang on a black screen after the BIOS screen popped up. So I'd restart, and it would work fine for a time. I managed to back up all of my important files and figured if it was a driver issue, a clean format -> reinstall would fix it. It didn't. The issues appeared almost immediately again after reinstallation. So I figured it must have been a GPU issue, and I replaced my GPU with an older one. The computer didn't last 5 minutes on the new one before it froze again.
So, I restarted one more time, and it froze after the bios screen. Restarted again and my computer automatically went into the bios setup screen and hung there too.
What is going on? Is my motherboard busted? First, I thought it was GPU issue, it wasn't. I then thought it was a hard drive issue, because the drive would just stop reading and freeze. Now I think it's a motherboard issue, becaus my computer has begun to hang even on the BIOS screen. How do I tell which component is giving the issue? I've run a memtest and it returned all results fine. Is it time to just call it quits and buy new parts?

Is there a camera app for Android that's comparable to the lumia camera app? Manual focus, shutter speed, etc.
Google camera actually makes my pictures look worse.

So after trying that kind anon's advice, I'm still no closer to installing windows. Does anyone else have any advice?

I'm on GPT and EFI senpai, pretty sure fixmbr won't do shit. It looks likebootrec /rebuildbcdis what I'm looking for, among some other potential commands.
I'll try doing this whole thing once my backup is finished.
