My computer hard resets whenever I play any video game
sometimes the game will just crash, sound will loop, i will hear an error noise, and the monitor will turn on and off saying no input detected. it is impossible to alt tab or ctrl alt delete, i have to hard reset in this situation.
It didn't crash during a FurMark stress test
I've tried fully reinstalling the drivers with DDU multiple times

I have 1 128GB and 3 identical 1 TB HDDs labeled C: to F: respectively. I now need to replace drive E: with a 4TB I just aquired.
What's the easiest way for me to know which physical drives the labels correspond to so I can replace it in 1 shot without fumbling around serial numbers etc
I have subscribed to Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus using my university email address which gives you Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, Word,. Given that I will graduate in 2 weeks, the license will expire (I'm certain). Is there any way to keep Microsoft Word/PowerPoint etc.? Maybe if I add them to the firewall or is it hardcoded (which should be patchable -- something I'm sure someone much smarter than me in this regard has already done)?
>>54178784
Serial is a pretty good bet. Use crystaldiskmark to get the serial real fast. It'll be on the HDD.
Easiest way is to have them memorized.
i have a 55" 4k tv that i play my ps4 on, as well as my gaming pc

Will I notice a difference going from a SATA SSD to an NVMe SSD?
Google isn't cooperating, so here I am. I just finished my build and...
1. Front USB ports on the Corsair 200R don't work in Windows. They work just fine when I'm in the BIOS.
2. Speaking of which, even the rear USB 3.0 ports don't work for some reason. The 2.0 ones do.
3. Do I have to do anything in particular to make the SSD go as fast as proclaimed? I expected the Windows flag to not form upon rebooting.
4. How do I go about blocking the updates that try to mandate Windows 10? So far updates overall are turned off.
Motherboard is M5A99FX PRO R2.0. I have no optical drive.

You haven't installed all the needed drivers. Go to device manager and post a pic.
>>54178993
>>54179024
Hmm, so I have to switch on Windows Update. Good thing I got that old PCI network card working. Yes, just PCI. No e. I'll get a new one if this one doesn't pan out. I somehow forgot that the motherboard came with a support disc. Moving the contents of that to a USB drive to see if that helps.
Or I can use Windows Update.
>>54179042
Checked the Device Manager and those teletele exclamation points are there.
PS: Holy shit the TV I'm using isn't fit for PCs. Then again, the damn thing is 720p dating back to 2007 whereas the GPU is 1080p. I was hoping I didn't have to invest in a monitor. Good thing my birthday's in a few weeks.

Oh so the disks aren't visible? Not sure if your bios has the featurs but they may list what disk is attached to what sata port. Sata port #s are listed in the manual and list the model and some other identifying information aboutthe drive. You can get the same information from crystaldisk. You can maybe disable the drive in question via device manager and see which one spinned down and stopped working. Etc
How do I make my android phone look like the stuff in this thread?: >>54174592

You mind elaborating on that? Toggle the tabs on the BIOS? Because it says the front panels are indeed enabled. Windows is the problem. Unfortunately, it's taking its sweet time checking for updates.

was asked on a cs exam about matrix transformation. the matrix was [math]\begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \\ 1 \end{bmatrix}[/math], which was a representation of (x, y). we were suppose to give the 3x3 matrix that would give the transformation to (x + 2, 3y). i think i answered [math]\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 3 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}[/math], but pretty sure that was wrong.. anyone know how to solve this? pretty sure its for image processing
Guys, help.
I tried to install http://daz8activator.com/ to get rid of the "activate windows! Go to PC settings to activate Windows" watermark and halfway through installation I realized I fucked but it was too late. It installed some horrible horrible software that I don't need and I'm pretty sure it's going to fuck my computer up. It's already done quite a number by disconnecting me from the internet for minutes on end and installing shit add-ons to chrome.
How would I go about dealing with this? Will draw whatever the anon that helps me out with this wants.

Is desktop compositing/aero responsible for input lag in borderless fullscreen games?
If so, is there some sort of hack/forceful way to disable compositing in Win8/10? I know they removed the option by default.
>>54178862
Yes. Only drops to 30hz with 4k content. And also only if the game is running at 60fps, as most games do 30.

Is there any particular reason that that Intel "U" processors (ultramobile) have such inconsistent performance?
I've owned two U chips now, one i5-3317U and one i3-4030U, and both seemed to have very inconsistent performance.
This is in contrast to the standard "M" CPUs and desktop CPUs.
>>54180558
They're low voltage. They're designed to rarely run at high clockrates.

How do I safely upgrade ~300 managed centos servers?
I'm at a loss for even how to get started. So many things will break.
>>54180687
Because we don't know if distance is quantized yet. We are currently assuming that distances are continuous, so field calculations use integration over continuous distances.
Are Toshiba's HDDs any good? My Seagate just died and I'm looking to replace it with a DT01ACA100.

If space is quantized, then it is below plank length. If it is below plank length, it is impossible to measure.
Generally, we talk about quantized energy states instead, since that is what is measurable and usable.

You are mixing and matching ideas like crazy.
Quantized energy levels are solutions to schrodingers equation for given boundary conditions. Wave functions are generally continuous, and particles in electromagnetic fields tend to have a continuous transition of states.

How do I mount my vfat microSD card with write permissions on Arch?
>>54180875
This reminds me of a book I read about how to lie with statistics (ISBN-13: 978-0393310726). After reading that book, I came to the conclusion that I should automatically ignore any entity which provides
"statistics", unless said entity is working for me--because it's probably highly doctored BS otherwise.
I didn't hire the entity who made this chart, and I certainly didn't come up with the numbers myself, so I call BS on this chart. 1st off, they're throwing really generic numbers. There's no definition of a "failure". It's too simple to get a realistic understanding of what this chart is supposed to portray. This really seems like something to support the creator's bias, IMO. In my personal experience, I've observed the inverse of failure rates of Hitichi and WD drives. I have a WD drive that's pushing 15 years total operating time and still works fine--very outdated, but still fully operational. I also had a WD drive that hardly worked 100 hours, and failed. Although that is the only WD drive of mine that actually died, all of my many other WD drives worked fine after many years of operation before I stopped using them due to being outdated. I've had my share of Hitachi drives, and I don't actually own any of them any more, because they all failed in about a year of similar use as my WDs, so I disposed of them. ...Even my 1 and only Hitachi optical drive failed in about 6 months of very lite use. When I say fail, I mean it's unusable, as in I can't even install an OS on to it or read the optical media for installing software.
The only Hitachi hard drive I had that lasted longer than about a year was the one that came with my PS3. I had that for about 3 years before I replaced it for a bigger drive. But I don't play games much so the drive spent most of those 3 years powered-off, so maybe that's why it lasted so long.

FINALLY managed to figure it out, posting here for archival purposes in case someone has the same issue down the line.
Basically what I had to do is go to device manager, and I found "Broadcom Bluetooth 3.0 device" or something like that under Universal Serial Bus devices. Now what you have to do is right click it, go to update driver, then pick from a list of drivers. Generic Bluetooth Adapter should be one of the ones there, after picking that it reinstalled the Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator and everything was good again.
Why is it when I use windows xp is a virtual box it just "feels" slow? Liek clicking and stuff. i have the computer to run it well so its not my pc, was windows xp really that meh?
>>54181842
Most virtual machines include tools to install in the virtual host to make it run better. Without those tools, any OS will have a slow and clunky feel.
>>54181969
This. Before adding the paravirtualization layer, a lot of the hardware components have to be completely emulated, as opposed to just converting instructions to something the host understands.
which filesystem should I use for a 2Tb Ext drive?

predominant type of files: .txt, .doc, .pdf, .mobi, .crb, .epub
>>54182095
ntfs
>>54182095
You using it as the HDD for installing the OSes to? If so, I think you meant to ask "Which partition scheme should I use?", and that's GUID.
>>54182118
Otherwise, if you're using it as storage (OSes installed on some other HDD), and want both to be able to read and write, use exfat.

Question:
My university email is expiring in a week and I need something equivalently "professional" for job applications, etc.
Are there any good email providers for this sort of thing, or would I be better off renting a webserver and setting up my own domain? If the latter, how difficult would it be for someone uninitiated, because I have no experience as a sysadmin.
>>54182289
gmail for work or something similar would be less hassle than the diy route
>>54182289
use zoho or gmail. if you want to set up your own email server be prepared to spend dozens of hours setting it up and still getting rejected by most email providers.
Stupid question. I'm not all that knowledgable with builds, I mean I know enough to build my own but beyond that very little. The question is I'm trying to build a server to host Terraria (that's really it) and was interested if could give me some pointers in how to do this as cheaply as possible.
Thanks guys.
>>54182319
True, but I have a very common name ("John Smith" level of abundance) so it's impossible to get a reasonable address name without appending a bunch of random characters.

Is there a difference between using a monitor and a TV?
>>54182428
refresh rate, resolution and input lag.
Monitors tend to have both better panels and true color panels where as tvs try to look "warm" for movies and stuff
>>54182343
Terraria server doesn't multithread well, so most of the old, cheap server hardware isn't good for it.
I'd go with a Pentium G3258, the cheapest shit you can find to go with it, and at least 4GB of RAM.
You would do well to get a second hand PC with DDR3 memory and at least a 300W PSU, and just replace the motherboard, cpu, and add a small, fast SSD to run the world from.

same reason EU has the special N version because they aren't even allowed to ship their own browser/media player
>>54182867
Port scanning (usually) only tells you something is listening on some port, not what. nmap tells you the service because a lot of applications listen on standard ports (e.g., http server on port 80, ssh on port 22 and so on).
>>54182884

>>54182596
Please help.
>>54183010
Yes. It could be either your PSU or GPU (less probable). Try replacing your PSU with a spare and do a stress test.
>>54183025
I don't have a spare one, I'd have to buy one new. I don't think the GPU has anything to do with it though.
Especially because when I OCd my CPU a few months ago and increased the voltage I started hearing weird sounds from my PSU a few weeks later and reverted the CPU OC just to be safe.
Temps are still very low, 30-45 for the CPU and 30-55 for the GPU depending on the load.

So, I dragged home a HP Proliant DL380 G4 server.
It's an old machine, DDR2, Dual Pentium 4 3.2GHz Xeons, but I'd like to play around with it before using the Power supplies and fans for other projects.
Wat do?
What should i get? in performance wise.

I was cleaning old computer and I found that one of the mobo capacitors is leaking. There's some dried up electrolyte on top of it (not too much though).
The computer itself works just fine. What's the worst thing that could happen?
>>54183901
Thank you.
>>54183981
The capacitor would fuck the other components by passing to them the wrong current, or it could short-circuit and catch fire.

I haven't been paying attention to components for a few years. So buying a gtx 970 or above (or equivalent amd) is a meme?
https://seasonic.com/product/g-650/
Is this PSU enough for a 6700k + GTX970?
What about OCs or two cards in SLi?
>>54184285
Why would you 1)get a 970 and 2) get two in sli?
It should be enough for one, maybe two. Keep in mind the components degrade over time and you also wont be at 640 all the time.
Yes
Maybe (if it were me I would want a bigger one)
>>54184321
I'm not getting a 970. Same with the CPU.
I have to replace my current PSU and plan on upgrading my entire rig eventually so I want to keep the PSU in the new build.

I cant remove any of them, though, only favorite. Any idea if the issue is fixed, or is it some sort of an 'app' that is causing this?
Fucking hell, how do people even use this garbage website.
>>54184359
so why ask about those components?
>>54184321
Is getting a 970 not good?
>>54184386
Because they're kind of the standard of a gaming rig right now. If the PSU can hold those it probably can hold most builds.
>>54184285
nah
850w is enough for no overclock skylake cpu and gpu
1000w if you plan to oc the gpu and cpu

I'm pretty sure there are no issues with compatibility between the US and Japan aside from a few 3 prong things that require an adapter and maybe some analog clocks.
I'm getting a raise, but I have a feeling I'm probably spending that raise on just rebuying overpriced Japanese replacements. At least for the first year.

I'm fairly confused about bottlenecking.
So my current build is this:
Motherboard: MSI H81M-E33
CPU: i5 4460
GPU: ASUS r9 280x
RAM: 8gb of DDR3 1600mhz
Let's say that I cheaped out on the motherboard, reason being I had to replace mine not long ago because of some stupid tinkering with flashing BIOSes. It wasn't much better to be honest.
In any case, I need to know, how bad could a cheap motherboard affect performance when it comes to having a CPU or GPU that aren't complete trash? I have heard that it would be more important if you used integrated graphics but otherwise it was fine.

Two things. 1, anyone know a good resource for learning C++? I've recently become interested in learning a programming language and would like an idea of where to start.
2, my PC shits itself when I put it in suspend mode. I'm running Windows 8 and Linux Mint in dual boot. Thing is, when I put the computer the sleep, it restarts upon powering back on (In Linux Mint) and then proceeds immediately power off when in grubloader (when selecting Linux Mint), if it doesn't shut off a few moments after being powered on. It will sometimes refuse to power on for more than a few seconds. Don't know why, and I can't always reproduce the problem.
I've read of Linux Mint having problems with sleep mode, but nothing quite like this. Any ideas as to what's going on? When it runs normally, it runs fine, but if I put it in sleep mode, all hell breaks loose. Also, loading into Windows usually goes fine. Haven't noticed any issues there.
I initially thought it was a BIOS problem, but, like I said, I can't really reproduce the problem. I figured if it were a BIOS problem, then loading things back to default would result in normal operations. That, and this is a pretty recent problem. I just don't know.
Not really a question but anyone know how to fix painfully slow w10 after update. Quick things like opening the start button takes 10 second to open each time

this could be your psu, an interegrated gpu taking over or a specific game. Or possibly a driver issue

yeah, it will probs. If not just put the gpu on bot and the wifi card above it

Also with the monitor consider the fact that you can run them at max but have the resolution at 1080. It 1)futureproofs and 2)lets you watch videos and stuff at 4k when it becomes the norm.
Gpu should be fine then

When I run games at a lower resolution on my (plebbian) 1366x768 gpu, they look scrunched up and weird. I woudlnt want that to happen, would rather play at max settings on 1080. I put a ton of research into this, so I feel pretty confident in it.

uhh, not really. Theyre going to look exactly the same at 1080p on a 1080p monitor and a 4k monitor assuming the size is the same.
Dolphin will run fine on most i5s btw
Does this mean my PSU is dead?
>>54187206
You're problaly going to have to take it apart and see if you can hook it up and restore the data that way
>>54187580
If it was dead it would not be turning on
>>54187206
replace screen or take out memory and hoko up elsewhere
Better HDD?
Western Digital Black or HGST?

Sorry I should have worded that better. Does this mean its failing? I am >>54178735
I don't have spare parts to swap things and test so I've been trying to figure out what I can

like shouldn't the 12V rail be putting out around 12 and not 8?
>>54178735
I have a similar issue that got escalated today. I've had capacitors whine for months now and in the last few weeks my computer felt just a tiny bit more sluggish than usual. Today I got multiple shutdowns during CPU intensive tasks. I suspect it's the PSU just because when I tried to OC my CPU once it started making a weird nose which went away when I reverted to stock.

That could just be a software error. Try going into BIOS and look at the value under the HW monitor. If your 12v line would really be at 8 your computer would most likely not even boot.
I thought that uTorrent and bit torrent were different.
Am I wrong?
>>54187875
They're basically the same shit nowadays. Avoid at all costs.

We have an existing Java Applet and need to integrate it into a third-party application, which requires an ActiveX Object. Is there any way to wrap a Java Applet (.class) as an ActiveX Object (.ocx or .dll)?
