What do laptop screens need to be connected to to run?
I took apart an old junk laptop thinking to turn it into a sort of all-in-one for the hell of it. So far it works fine when plugged into a monitor, but the screen doesn't work. The video wire is plugged into it, and I've checked thoroughly to make sure all the plugs are seated well, but the backlight doesn't turn on and nothing shows up on the screen.
Am I missing something stupid? Does it need to be grounded somehow?

My CPU has 16 PCIe lanes
My MoBo has 2 x PCIe 3.0 x16 Slots
I am using a GTX 970 in one of my 3.0 slots.
What would happen if I put a 950 in a PCIe adaptor and put it in the other 3.0 slot?
I'm also using a wifi card in one port, is that subtracting from my GPU performance since my CPU only supports 16 lanes? I didn't know what this specification really meant until recently and I still don't fully get it.
>>53725945
No.
You can increase range though.

>>53725720
That's a myth, it doesn't work
>>53726021
What CPU are you using? A 6700k for instance has 20 PCIe lanes for this situation, 16 for the GPU, 4 for everything else.
In your case, your WiFi card is using 1 lane, GPU 8 lanes, 950 whatever it would want.
If I remember correctly, graphics cards tend to only go by 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 lanes. They tend not to have settings for 12 or 10 or 14 lanes, although you may be able to set it yourself.
You can think of lanes as just a set amount of bandwidth.

My PC is in front of a window. Outside is my front lawn and the street. I was thinking of buying a small camera to put in the window somewhere so I can monitor the front my house without leaning over my desk and looking through the blinds all the time. Problem is in my neighborhood there is a rule that we can't put anything in the windows visible from outside except blinds, if you do then you get fined. And I want the camera to be hidden anyway.
I was looking at this small camera and maybe I'd paint it white and try to put in it the window sill so it can't be seen too well:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005E3U5X0/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=
I would connect it to my PC and be able to load up the camera feed and view it whenever, maybe use some motion alert software.
Anyone got any better ideas?
>>53726285
except that is entirely wrong and the pcie lanes the devices use will depend entirely on the pcie slots they're in.
The graphics card will use x16 or x8 if there is another device plugged into the other x16 pcie 3.0 slot.
The samsung 950 pro uses 4 pcie 3.0 lanes for full speed. Anything less will throttle it. The GPU will be fine at pcie 3.0x8.

>>53725699
have you tried renaming it to a name with only ascii characters? remember to rename the other file to match too
>>53726429
Well, I have an extension on your idea. Instead of painting it, just install it behind the blinds. It doesn't need to be that tiny and hidden, maybe even get a better quality one. Any old webcam will do. Just cut a tiny ass hole in the blind for the camera to sit behind, maybe find a way to tape the camera to the blind so it's always right behind that hole.
>>53726429
>in my neighborhood there is a rule that we can't put anything in the windows visible from outside except blinds
You're fucking kidding me. That has to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I say put it there anyway and tell anyone that bitches that they are a worthless waste of a human being.
Seriously, yeah, just fucking hide the damn thing. You sound like you have a good plan there.

Stupid questions are one thing, asking us to do your work for you is another one. I pointed out where all the general information can be found, you need to do the basic research first.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/gXNr23
I've been working on this build for a few days revising it and I think I've gotten it down, I'd like some input on it though. I'm buying the parts through amazon to get the prime free two day shipping, so some of my parts where based on if amazon had them or not.
I'm trying to stay under ~1000
hello /sqt/, I want to build (or buy) a PC:
- small (I'm gonna lug it around by plane)
- fast processor (my work currently maxes out the i7 2630QM in my laptop)
- no gfx card (I give zero fucks)
- as cheap as possible with these constraints
I mix audio and my ideapad can't handle complex tracks (processor gets too hot and audio ends up stuttering). Anyways, I don't think a laptop is appropriate considering the processing power I need.
I haven't custom built a PC in 10y and I know nothing about smaller form factors. What should I get? Any suggestions appreciated.
>>53726371
Try find a second hand Haswell i5 or i7 and socket 1150 motherboard, try to low ball people down to about $200 for them both. People are selling things off pretty cheap now that Skylake and DDR4 are out. Pay more if it comes with RAM. You'll probably need a newer PSU. No point skimping on a PSU only to toast your other components. Keep the grapchics card, case etc.
>>53726667
The only benefit this will give you is accessing things faster on your LAN such as a fileserver. Is this what you are trying to do?
>>53726714
If money is an issue you can get a FX 8350 with a custom cooler and then overclock it. That way you can get the performance you need. Otherwise you can get an i7 4th or 6th generation.
Just pour the money on a good processor and overclocking mobo and you'll be fine.
>>53726702
Umm I wasn't the guy who asked the original question.
>>53726708
I have almost the same Pc as you. The only difference is that I don't have an SSD. However, you might want to get an smaller SSD if you've already got a hdd in order to get a better gpu. A r9 290 or something like that. Also, try to get a K processor. Otherwise it's useless to get an aftermarket cooler if you're not going to overclock it.
>>53726232
I would save and get a I5-6400.
Also save more and get a better GPU.
You dont need a 750W PSU, get a 500W or 650W.
is there any way to truly turn off all the botnet features on windows 10?
>>53726714
Budget?
Since apparently in whatever you work you use multiple threads/cores you should get something of the 2011 socket (I7-5820k).
But since you dont want to spend on a GPU you should get a I7-6700K so you have a IGPU.
>>53726285
2700k, I don't see the need to upgrade yet. When having 32+ PCI lanes is something I need I'll make a new build.
Guys I know I'm asking a pretty stupid question but I guess that's what this thread is for. I was told by another anon that I could use the OS from these links in this web: http://pastebin.com/raw/CaWSgByZ
I just wanted to know how I would go about installing the OS. Because I'm going to be asked for an activation code. Would I have to then use Dazloader cracking software? And if that works will >>53725720 happen to me?
>>53726701
Ok, so in short don't update the bios and drivers? If I were to do that, atleast with respect to the drivers, wouldn't that mean that my components won't be running at there most efficient?

>>53726980
I don't know about the cracking, but you can avoid that problem by making sure your bios is completely up to date before you begin the process. Bios updates aren't that common
>>53726760
Interesting. I've heard many of the plugins I use have performance problems on AMD processors, but I'll see if it's more than just rumors.
>>53726874
Well I have shekels but I'm just trying to save. Below 1k would be nice. Yes, my work is embarrassingly parallel, mixing large audio projects is a matter of running dozens of plugins in realtime. So I'll look at mobos with the 2011 socket then. I guess the smallest I can go for is mini ITX?

Give me a in bro, I'll check this out.
>>53727026
Ok, I'm using a gigabyte z170xp mobo and the manual says I can update the bios version using the windows update feature. So would that be a problem? I'm asking cause flashing my bios seems scary cause I have a history of making weird mistakes.

This site should help you to select parts:
http://www.logicalincrements.com/
Just ignore the GPU part since you wont need a good one.
Take in mind, 2011 CPUs dont have a IGPU so you need a GPU.
If you select a 1151(Skylake) CPU you will be able to use a IGPU and wont have to invest more.
I7-6700K is a good alternative to the I7-5820K.

Then I downloaded the iso. And now I'm asking on how do I go about installing this without having to buy an activation code.
>>53726754
I'm trying to take greater advantage of a gigabit internet connection on a PC that I can't run physical cable to, plus make use of a stack of obsolete wrt54g routers.

Oh, i thought you were asking if the link was safe.
Do you have a USB ready?

Cool, I can make a bootable USB. Iwas thnking of the software that windows had uploaded on their page I'll have to find the link first though. So after that boot my pc from the usb, do I just use Daz loader? And also will I be able to update my OS to win10 and not have problems like this anon >>53725720 ? And if updating is an issue will I have to do this >>53726701 ?
Recently my PC has been crashing when I play games, the drivers crash and I have to reboot go get signal on my monitor, occasionally my PC will require several Boot ups before the monitor will display a signal. I have tried swapping several components so I know they're all good as well as the fact that I can hear Windows booting up.
>>53727495
Just finish installing windows and use daz loader.
Then update till you get the W10 notification.
I would advice against it but if you want W10 is up to you.
Also that is a rare problem related to updating your motherboard bios, you wont experience unless you update them.

I'm going to be using win 10 just for simplicity, because I won't have to get another OS for another ~10 years. I get the bad feeling that win 7 will stop being supported in a couple of years so to avoid all the hassle I might as well just update now.
>Also that is a rare problem related to updating your motherboard bios, you wont experience unless you update them.
So is it a good idea to update my bios?

I've swapped gpu's and used the mobo using dvi -d and HDMI cables and can confirm its not the GPU, occasionally the PC will work and will allow me to restart it and it will boot up just fine. If I turn the monitor off and on it just continues to say no signal I also tried my roommates monitor

That's really impossible to say. However, IIRC recent stress-testing showed that SSDs can survive several hundred Terabytes of data writes. Possibly even 1-2 Petabytes (1000 TB). So unless you were formatting your 500GB SSD every single day, you'd probably never come close to actually killing it.

My CPU temperature is around 80C whenever i'm doing basic tasks like browsing the internet. Is that too hot? How do I fix this? I've noticed slow performance today, could it be the CPU?
>>53728285
Yes that is too hot. If you're using a regular PC, buy some thermal compound and apply it as soon as possible.
>>53728285
That's definitely on the warm side for idling, but as long as you're not overheating it should be fine.
>How do I fix this?
Clean any dust that has accumulated on the heatsink, make sure that the fans are operating correctly (e.g. there's nothing stopping them from spinning), make sure that there's nothing blocking the air intake or exhaust. If you're using a desktop, you could replace the cooler or use some thermal paste, but don't try that if it's a laptop or all in one.
>I've noticed slow performance today, could it be the CPU?
If the CPU is showing itself as being maxed out, then yes, otherwise, probably not.

Built a new computer in October. I've had random freezes and resets since i put it together. Oddly enough it never ever happens if I have a video game running. It happens most often when the HDD does a large write.
I've tried updating and fixing every piece of software, including drivers. I ran a diagnostic on the HDD that came up clean. All the hardware is plugged in properly. Virus scans negative tThe only things i can think of now are ram failure, mobo failure, or power supply fail. Wtf do i do?
I'm not a bright guy when it comes to internet shit and connections, I barely understand most terms, so hopefully someone can help me with this.
For a while now I've been using FrootVPN to pirate shit, since it was previously free and even afterwards it was pretty cheap, but now it's been bumped up a couple more dollars and I thought I'd look for other VPNs in hopes of spending a few more dollars to get a VPN connection faster than 1/4 of my normal connection.
I found AirVPN and thought it sounded good so I got the three-day trial/plan and got it all installed and connected, only to find my download speed to be completely miserable, not even coming close to a single MB/s. I'm talking like fucking a few B/s.
My normal speed is between 40-50 Mbps, and with Froot it's around 10-ish. Anyone know why AirVPN is doing this?
tl;dr = Tried a new VPN and my speed is shit with them and I don't know why. What are the possible causes?

Someone else may know a better option, as I haven't used windows in years, but at the very least you can do this:
- get an external hard drive large enough to store the entire windows partition, and a USB thumb drive large enough to run a live linux distro (really any will do)
- install a linux distro to a USB
- boot off the live USB into whatever distro you chose (e.g. ubuntu), and start up the terminal
- run "lsblk" and figure out which drive is storing your windows partition, and which is the external hard drive
- rundd if=/dev/sdX1 of=/dev/sdY1
where you replace X1 and Y1 with whatever letters and numbers you got from the previous step, X1 being the Windows partition, Y1 being the external drive partition
- do whatever on the computer
- once you're ready to write your windows install back, run the same command, only switching the "if" target with whatever the external is called when you plugged it in this time, and the "of" with whatever partition you want to write your windows install to
what's going on: "dd" is just the linux command to write raw binary to/from block devices, like disks. Don't fuck it up (e.g. mix up which is your windows drive and which is your external), or you will lose everything.
I keep hearing that I should get a higher wattage PSU for longevity or something. Would that be true for this build or is that just a meme?

I guess it puts less stress on it and allows more upgrades down the road like if you want to do sli when you have the cash, on your build you might want to up the psu since your going to overclock the cpu. If it's too big it will be less efficient overall do to how hard it is to be efficient at lower loads.

Windows 7 is so old that it doesn't have the drivers for your drives. Consider installing an OS from this decade.

try adding the chipset or sata drivers to the installation.
z170 is far too new for windows 7, there's 6 years between them so it just doesn't know.
>>53730711

>>53730740
Now I get it. Do I just do what I did with flashing my bios? Also I thought we had to have the OS installed to update the sata drivers
>>53730781
no anon.
you put the sata drivers onto the USB and then select it during installation like you showed in >>53730434
just create a new folder and put the driver files there.
windows 7 cannot talk to the disks because it doesn't know how, so it cannot install itself.
now you need to tell it how to do that.
the driver
>Intel SATA Preinstall driver
>(For AHCI / RAID Mode)
>Note: Windows setup to read from USB thumb drive.
looks promising.

Cool. /i'll try that and report back.
Looking for free resources, legal or illegal, on the following:
Linux command line
PHP
HTML
Javascript
Pretty much anything else for beginners, I want to consume.
Will also accept suggestions for books as long as they're no more than $0.01 per page (anything over that is ridiculously overpriced).
Suggest anything and everything. I'm looking to read thousands of pages worth of stuff.
Pic semi-related. Per page this only costs $0.0048, which means it would have to cost less than this to print. That would mean anything over $0.01 per page would mean copyright owners are getting much more than the cost to print, probably at least twice as much as it costs to print, in pure profits. This doesn't seem right.
So everything but the storage on this shitty amalgamation of bargain parts reaches upwards of 70C if I try to play or do anything graphically intensive.
I've been dusting it bi weekly, cleaned the heatsinks, and replaced the thermal compound, but still have this issue. It noticeably impacts whatever it is I'm doing within an hour of getting that hot.
Is it worth looking into cooling parts, or at this point should I just replace the whole thing?

I normally just browse /g/ and saw a thread a few years back about 144hz monitor.
I personally don't play much fps due to "motion sickness" symptoms after playing fps for too long, but what I really bought into is how quite a number of people here backed it, saying it changes even how you feel about web browsing if you just use 144hz monitor.

wondering this too
if I install the bitnami wikimedia installer into /opt/ is it enough to save the wikimedia folder to backup my data? Same question for XAMPP.
>>53731273
sorry I meant native as in native chrome extension of 4chanx.
the greasemonkey version stores it in 4chan_x.db in gm_scripts.
it's a sqlite database, you can add your post by editing the json data in "4chan X.yourPosts"
the chrome extension might use localstorage, not sure.
What is the best backup solution if you operate with a lot of files? (several gigabytes)
Stuff like git and svn is good for tracking small changes, but you have to store a copy of the file for reference, so it uses double the amount of storage needed.
Things like syncthing uses too much cpu because it constantly has to find the server and makes it unusable for mobile use.
Owncloud doesn't track changes and thus any change causes the file to be reuploaded rather than apply the changes.
I want the server-client model. I want something self hosted.
And I want something that is easy enough so I can recommend it to other people.
Is that possible?

On a debian server i have the OS on a seperate drive and my files/media on other bigger HDD's, if my OS drive crashes, will there be any problem with my media files being corrupt, or can i just buy a new drive, install the OS from backup and be good to go?
I have only used Windows before
>>53731332
yes, it doesn't magically overwrite everything when it crashes.
>>53725947
The simplest answer is:
So you don't have to write as much code.
Instead of writing (or copying) a block of code 5 times you write it once and call it when you need it.
Its less work and your code is also shorter and easier to read.

You would likely end up with 8 lanes for the 970, 1 for your wifi like the other annon says(presumably in one of your pciex4 slots?), and 4 lanes for the 950.

Pciex4 is plenty if the 950 just powers the desktop or youtube.

Oh the HDD works fine, its just the CPU cooling block pulled a standoff through the motherboard at some point and got toasted.

Why does the Python installer for Windows default to the 32bit version if I'm on a 64bit OS? Am I supposed to use the 32bit version on Windows?
>>53732475
I think there is better library support with the 32bit version or something stupid like that.
You should almost definitely be fine using the 64bit version though, I don't think I've ever had issues with it.
>>53732229
RAMdisk it is.
Any recommended software for windows 7?
I see ImDisk is FOSS. Is it good?
>>53732475
Just a guess here:
But for the installer to be able to run on 32bit systems it needs to be 32bit and has no means to check if you're on 64bit then, hence it defaults to 32bit.
