Using a OnePlus 2 (810)
Some of the cores never turn on, even if I manually write a 1 to .../cpu5/online. I've made sure that it isn't just in a power save mode. If I set the governor to performance, they still won't turn on. There are also some strange things going on (1766mhz/0mhz on cores 6 & 7). Anyone ever had this problem? I've looked online and all I can find are people not knowing that they are in power saving mode.

Doubt it. The 801 on the OPO was much worse. I checked the cores a few days after I got it and it was working fine. They were all online. I changed some setting, probably max frequency or governor, changed it back, rebooted, and then I noticed issues.

Basically a way of using several drives as one. Usually it is done for reliability. There are different "levels" which control how the data is laid out over the drives. Which level you use depends on how many drives you have, how much redundancy you need, and performance requirements.
With RAID, you can lose 1 or more disks (depending on the level) and still have a complete copy of the data. You can then replace the failed disk(s) and "rebuild" the array which copies the missing data to the new drives.
There is also one special RAID level: RAID 0 which provides no redundancy. The drives are combined into one big drive. This increases size and speed (write to multiple drives at once), but it is basically like playing Russian roulette because if any of the drives fail, you usually lose all the data.
>>53612769
They are typically decent, but expect laptop like performance from that form factor.
Upgradability is out the window of course.

Hard to say with this information. Could be a GPU problem. The GPU has access to RAM so if it writing bad data that could cause it.
Check your PSU. Power problems can cause weird and hard to track down crashes. If the load of your GPU starting up could cause a voltage to dip. However, I think that would more likely cause the BSOD than an app crash.
Have you tried running a memory test? Boot this up: http://www.memtest.org/ and run it for 24 hours (or at least overnight). It is the standard memory test tool. It will work your RAM hard to identify any problems, even very rare transient problems.
Honestly, you could just have a motherboard that is defective in some small way that only crops up under the load of a game.
>>53613561
>Doctor, Doctor I have a pain somewhere in my body. What is my diagnosis?
Basically what you are asking.
>>53614072
GPU driver would crash, windows would probably report it.
PSU would probably reset entire computer, not just shut down a game.
Of course i can't be 100% sure, but gpu and psu are least possible answers in my book. Memtest is the best bet, it sounds like memory problem.
>>53613721
The programs crashes to desktop at random times with no error message. Have to check event logs to see when it crashed and what the error is and half the time it seems to be randomly related to a memory issue or a nvidea issue. Sometimes I can go hours and it won't crash, sometimes it happens right on start up. At least once a week the crash comes with a BSD. Tried running with onboard graphics to rule out my GPU and still got crashes. Running any of the games in safe mode spikes my CPU usage up to 97%+ and sometimes won't even open the program at all.
I'm planning on buying a new motherboard soon but I was hoping to rule anything else out

That's pretty much what I'm working with, too.

I've seen some really weird crashes in my time. If it was something obvious he would have probably stumbled upon it.
>GPU driver would crash, windows would probably report it.
Not necessarily. If the GPU miscalculated something and writes that data to the shared memory, it could cause the program reading that data to crash.
There are lots of ways a GPU can fail without causing a crash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGudilb2D2Y
Also the GPU driver runs as part of the kernel, so it can't crash separate from the kernel. You'd get a BSOD not a Windows error report thing.
>PSU would probably reset entire computer, not just shut down a game.
If the PSU totally drops out, yeah. But if just one of the voltages (say +1.5V) dips momentarily from the load of the GPU starting up then that could cause a glitch in the RAM. Since the program using RAM most heavily at the time would be the game, the glitch would probably happen there.
Again, none of these are super likely, but he's covered the likely bits.
>>53614169
>Running any of the games in safe mode spikes my CPU usage up to 97%+
In safe mode, Windows doesn't load the GPU subsystem so all the graphics try to run in software mode so your CPU can't keep up.
>>53614287

Ethernet cord in theory, but if you knew enough about networking to get that setup, you wouldn't need to ask. You probably want to plug them both into a router so you don't need to do custom networking setup.
After that, you can just do the "Right Click -> Share Folder" thing.
Is it all right to use the cpu fan that came with my Intel i7, or should I not trust it and get a different one?
>>53614453
stress test it and find out. usually it's safe, but it's always better to get some quieter, more efficient cooler - especially with expensive i7 build where additional $30 means nothing.
>>53614386
Not to bust your balls or anything, but did you even try fixing it (anything from actual repairs to just trying to turn it on again after drying it out completely)? Did you at least get your data (off/gone)? or take it to the apple store (they have diagnostic equipment / tests)?
I have an asus 7870.
lately my graphics drivers have been crashing randomly and constantly (not necessarily when under load) in 8.1 64 bit. Updated to latest beta drivers, fixed nothing. Anyone else have this happen or know a fix?
>>53614453
Those are perfectly fine unless you plan to overclock.
The only other reasons to get a 3rd party cooler are if you need some super slim cooler to fit in your case, you want to get a big fanless cooler so it is quieter, or something like that.

I can't dual boot Windows7 and Linux. I've tried Mint, Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Elementary and more - but no matter what distro I use it always breaks the Windows partition. I formatted the HDD with a fresh installation of W7, then tried installing Linux to dual boot, but after installation when I try going into the W7 partition I need a W7 CD to fix it.
Any ideas why this is happening? Is this a hardware incompatibility issue (i.e Linux not being compatible with this processor)?

I don't know what's there to rust, unless you meant that as an expression. What exactly was wrong with it though, was it just generally blown components from shortcircuit? (I'm curious)

According to him he tipped a glass of water on it, it turned off. The fucking idiot put it in rice instead of telling me for three days. Tried to turn it on and nothing.
Obviously rice won't do shit for a laptop. I took it to the apple technician and he told me it was drenched. Since waters touched it, it will start rusting right?
>>53615045
>Since waters touched it, it will start rusting right?
Rust is iron oxide, there has to be iron (iron ,steel) present for there to be rust. The body is solid aluminium, the solder is tin | lead, traces and connectors are copper / gold.

Nobody has ever been arrested or had serious problems from running a relay. I doubt you would ever have any trouble with background checks.
The tor project has a guide for running a relay with minimal issues: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tips-running-exit-node-minimal-harassment
Most of it has to do with your ISP and handling abuse complaints rather than any actual legal issues. While I don't think it has ever been tested by the courts, it is commonly believed that the safe haven provision of the Communications Decency Act would protect a relay operator from any real legal issues.
>>53615151
That's not going to stop them from kicking your door in and taking all of your shit. Nor will it stop them from looking for something else to get you on to save face. There are so many minimal effort things (partially outlined in that tor blog link) that you can do to prevent it getting that far though.

True, you can't totally prevent the FBI from raiding you, but honestly you are being paranoid because that's not worth their time. It won't help them find whomever they are looking for. The FBI understands what Tor is and how it works.

Every board has integrated graphics right? Right. So when a CPU has integrated graphics, the motherboard basically switches from its own integrated graphics to the CPU graphics right? So does the motherboard graphics card remain completely idle? And for CPUs that don't have integrated graphics and no GPU, why isn't the on-board graphics (pic related) equipped with a cooler? What's with the design? Looks odd.
DVDISASTER: I installed the program, Windows version. It checks for disc errors (CD/DVD), if you don't know. But one of the essential configurations is "image size". "Image size"??

Probably motherboard, especially if it's old. But you can try replacing the PSU for a new one, as it's cheap. And remove the HD and test it on another computer, as it is free.
>>53616956
the program is designed to either
- generate augment images with additional ECC

>>53616954
Older motherboards had a separate integrated graphics chip under a heatsink (like in your pic) or as part of the chipset (usually Intel)
Newer motherboards have the integrated graphics as part of the processor itself.

Is there any advantage to stripping a SSD?
I recently bought a 480GB SSD, only to find it went on sale and that I could buy another one, the total price of both drives coming out roughly the same price as one 960GB drive.

How do I make a 2560x1080 resolution work on Mint? I found a guide that told my to type these in the terminal
xrandr --newmode "2560x1080_60.00" 230.00 2560 2720 2992 3424 1080 1083 1093 1120 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode HDMI-0 "2560x1080_60.00"
This gives me the option, but it just smushes the wider resolution into a 16:9 space
>>53617733
just try it
if you can read the disc error-free, then there's no problem, consider closing things if you get read errors
i imagine the instructions on their site are pretty outdated though, and are written with old machines in mind, which might have not have been fast enough to avoid buffer underruns while running other software at the same time
>>53617813
BUT I WILL GET ERRORS
I WANT TO TEST DISC
BECAUSE OF THE ERRORS
>>53617802
it's your monitor doing that, modelines don't define pixel/display aspect ratio
>>53617797
also recapha seems to sporadically stop working.
>>53617819
if you know there will be errors, why do you want to test the disc?
>>53617797
are you deleting your cookies?
>>53617864
no.
>>53617862
To see the extent of the errors. Measure the heatlh (%) of the disc. This way I can know if there is a way to recover something or everything is damaged.

I have not learned yet how to create the images. Just scan the disc.

What is the easiest way of going about extracting the files from this Windows 7 Backup?
The plan is installing Linux on the laptop, so I backed up the info with Win7's inbuilt backup option. I just want the peace of mind that it's gonna be as easy as dragging and dropping the files when it's done.

I have here a non-original "Ubuntu 12.04" 32-bit CD. Should I keep it, or throw it away?
For pure speed, is it worth enforcing upload slot/upload rate/total connection limits in my torrent client? I read a Deluge speed guide which said I should limit the total connections to 150 for my internet speed (4Mbit) and limit upload slots per torrent to 5. Should I or should I just set everything to unlimited? I don't really care about the effect it has on the rest of my traffic, I just want the best possible torrent speeds.
OK, I got a "Nokia 2280" cellphone that is broken. My uncle, the previous owner, had anger of not being able to see well information on it's screen (he doesn't uses proper glasses) and threw it many times in many directions. As a result, the SIM card reader is missing, and the battery connector is loose, among other problems.
Should I pay to fix this cellphone?

Disk goes 100% usage when launching large programs or games. Sometime even multiple tabs / youtube. what do I upgrade in this case? CPU for more precessing powers? RAM for more access memory or HDD cause this is a sign of HDD failure? I have 40% free disk space left so it shouldn't be for the lack of storage. I have also done all the cleanups and refrag but still gets this.

Why isnt the whole 8gigs usable?
For some reason I have gotten a ton of interference on all the 3.5mm microphone jacks on my last 2 computers. Different cases, different GPU brands, different PSUs, both Gigabyte motherboards with Realtek audio.
The only difference is I have one of the outputs on my GPU going to an HDMI switch so I can swap between shit on my main monitor. It works great, the switch outputs separate audio so I can just plug it into the microphone jack of my PC and still have all my PC sounds going along with whatever the switch is getting, and I can control the volume. The problem is there is the microphone jack on my PC still has a ton of interference not found in the headphone jacks AND whenever something is happening on either screen it now picks it up. Listen:
http://www116.zippyshare.com/v/vg9OOOg2/file.html
The high pitched sound is the sound of me moving my mouse. There is no interference what so over if I plug my headphones directly into the switch itself. Different cables and everything leads me to believe it's just my computer having trash audio. This happens on both front panel and back panel connectors.
Is there any general idea on how to stop this? Would a USB sound card or whatever work to stop this?
>>53618969
Whoops, here's my Speccy. It isn't showing the Realtek drivers for some reason.
1) For any programmers here, what do you look for when you're getting a laptop or those tablet/laptop hybrids like pic related?
2) Let's say I'm planning on building a PC in the near future. Are there any brands that should be avoided?

Been on the iphone train since IPhone OS 2.0, want to make the switch to Android for this upcoming phone, but i'm having a difficult time with all these choices.
Money isn't an issue, what are the best android phones out now? Will they be supported for years or do manufacturers fuck them over every 6 months?

>>53620636
quite often those free ddl sites won't allow resuming, if the server doesn't allow it, you can't 'force' it, resuming is something the server needs to provide support for
