Maybe not worry, and its still possible this issue has nothing to do with your PSU, but if you're paranoid, a new one won't hurt
7 years is fine for a good unit, but.....

I remember someone mentioned to me once that windows doesn't boot well on a hard drive. I've found that my computer takes ass ever to turn itself on and I often have to wait six to ten minutes after the boot screen for the computer's local profile sign-on screen to appear. How can/do I get Windows to boot on a M.2 / SSD when I pick one up eventually? Will it change the atrocious wait time since my disc often runs on 100% usage for about 5 minutes after startup?

they'll just show up as regular drives, so it's no different form using a hard disk

#

that is of course if your pc can use m2/nvme drives, a regular ssd shouldn't be a problem but you'll be surprised how big of a difference it makes

#

you could also try to minimise what windows is loads up on startup

balmy kiln Mar 9, 2021, 7:54 AM

#

I have two M.2 slots on my mobo and four ssd slots on the back of the case

#

I just wanna figure out how to cut the 100% disc usage because it slows my computer to a near halt upon loading, and I didn't pay $2600 and spend since October building this thing just to wait fifteen minutes for it to actually work

#

then again, I have one 2TB seagate HDD, and it has over 1.5TB of games and other files on it

#

Will purchasing more storage make a difference?

fervent granite Mar 9, 2021, 7:57 AM

sad. I really gotta figure out the issue then. I also have to figure out why half the time my 9pin usb header doesn't work

#

half the time I turn on my computer with my corsair lighting node plugged into the mobo, the post screen tells me I've got a usb over current status, then it shuts itself off. Only way to use the PC is to jiggle the sata cables, let them hang loose, then hope it turns on next time

For recording, you should be able to get better without having to mess with bitrate or any other settings just by swapping your current encoder for your GPU's HEVC encoder, or the AV1 one if you have an RTX GPU

might also say h265

x264

I am using the nvidia one

brave field Mar 9, 2021, 3:29 PM

wow, that's strange. Update OBS if you can, there should be more options, and the missing HEVC one should be MUCH better than the h.264 option that's there.

try 20000 or 25000 for your recording bitrate then, and see if that looks better.

i got a 3080 for 700 before tax

planning on buying one selling it than building a custom loop

i kinda want a strix with an ekwb waterblock

#

i would sell the new card

#

deal with crappy graphics for a while but make a decent profit

could probably sell to a miner for 2x price lol

i can list my 3080 founders for 2 grand and i guarantee it will sell

you can sell that for 500-600\

i would do that and live on an igpu til neew cards release

why is there DRM on top of the DRM

Use random company that suddenly is loved by everyone and is profitable and risk it getting compromised
Use your own solution and have no redundancy

I've been thinking of rigging up my house with whole home ethernet, utilizing the existing coax entries for it. I have everything figured out except where to place the main switch. Should I place the switch inside the room where my cable modem is located, or should I do an outside PoE solution? The modem is located in the far corner basement of the house.

#

To clarify, I'd be running the ethernet down the same paths as the coax, and hooking it up to a combo coax-ethernet wall plate like this:

So basically, im able to use my wifi just fine but overtime my wifi just dies and my pc automatically disconnects from the internet itself and decides to not want to connect.
My PC keeps saying it cant connect to my wifi but it recognises that it's there.
At this point, I'm thinking it's my wifi card itself that's the issue but its able to connect to my hotspot just fine so I dont really know what to.
I've moved the wifi card to another slot, flushed out my dns, resetted my network etc but it doesnt want to seem to work

#

This issue kind of happened after a windows update so I dont know if the update itself has fucked it or it's another issue but I dont really know. All I know is that my card doesnt want to let my wifi through

brave field Mar 12, 2021, 1:43 AM

#

Windows update includes driver updates if the setting isn't manually turned off, its possible they gave you a trash version. Try updating it through device manager, and then the manufacturer's own website.

#

Your hotspot is stable, but your home connection is not. Is there a large difference in how the PC connects to each, maybe the hotspot being 2.4ghz wifi and the home one being 5ghz, or both with the same SSID?

trail totem Mar 12, 2021, 1:45 AM

Just an android device

Download a Xubuntu (better compatibility) or Puppy linux (much smaller) iso and RUFUS, and transfer both to your PC using a USB cable if its still not working, then load up the ISO in RUFUS, make a bootable USB, and then boot into the USB when you next restart your PC and choose "Try Xubuntu/puppy"

#

Testing in another OS can be useful for finding if the issue is the card coincidentally deciding to die around the same time as that update, or if the issue really is just Windows or a driver

#

Not really sure what else to try if things work on other devices and work on other networks. Unless your modem/router's control panel have something set specifically for your PC that's messing with things, it can only really be the driver or the windows update

#

You can look into a driver here, but this site, despite being Microsoft's own, still doesn't look particularly great http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=AR9287

#

If all else fails, try rolling back the windows update. Its the least safe option, though.

isn't there a way to insall linux within windows?

brave field Mar 12, 2021, 2:21 AM

WSL/2, yeah, but you're still running Windows. WSL1 is more a compatibility layer than anything, WSL2 might be able to do something, but I've got no idea where you'd even start getting WSL2 to handle the driver for the whole OS

fervent granite Mar 12, 2021, 2:22 AM

pretty sure that'd be a huge security hole if you could access windows drivers from wsl

brave field Mar 12, 2021, 2:23 AM

Nvidia and AMD should both cut all their telemetry, attempt to make ALL relevant APIs more performant, and just have things work well

AMD GPUs are terrible at Opengl and DX9/10, a bit slow in DX11, with 0 decent compute stack
Nvidia GPUs are a bit subpar at DX12/VK, and terrible for Metal

strange, adding a drive should never cause a display issue unless there's an OS with no graphics driver on that drive

#

brave field Mar 14, 2021, 3:29 AM

er, you have more than one SATA data cable, yes?

#

fully connect the drive that works and turn the PC on, and wait for your OS to load and all
leave SATA power in the new drive

#

When your OS is loaded, steal the SATA data from the disc drive

#

or you can remove it from the disc one beforehand, either

#

just make sure you're connecting the data one to the new drive after things have loaded up as normal

#

that'll avoid any chance of it booting into an OS on the new drive and will let you wipe it clean

#

For power, always. SATA data, the smaller one, however, can be plugged and unplugged while a PC is running, just like USB

#

if you're just testing and this isn't a permanent arrangement, you don't really need to mount the drive

#

Then you're waiting until your OS loads and all, and THEN swapping the sata data in the disc drive with the drive that does not work, which should make that drive be recognized by the OS, which will not show this error because its already loaded, yes?

Revert to a fully working state, move sata power (large one) from disc drive to new hard drive, remove the sata data from the disc drive and let it just hang, disconnected, turn the PC on, let windows or whatever you use load.
Then connect the loose end of the sata data cable to the new drive with the PC still on, and you should get some sort of notification or something if your OS is able to detect the drive. If you're using windows, open up disk management if you don't get the notification and see if a new drive is there

#

oh uh, you have them in? yeah

#

you can use multiple drives, you just have to be sure it boots to the working one and not the one that isn't working well

You can deduce which drive you want to wipe by comparing the disk sizes

I think diskpart would've been easier, it would've listed the disks rather than the partitions, then you can just select the entire disk to clean

#

Plenty of games load quickly on a regular 7200RPM though, you may not really need a full 1tb SSD initially

#

No game that benefits hugely from an SSD runs well on the HD 4600

#

If you're mainly looking to play games, you need a GPU ASAP

#

What about that 970 you mentioned yesterday?

#

I thought yours was the full-size Pavilion hpe?

#

o

#

Low-profile only is sorta a death sentence for games unless you're on AM4. Best you can get is a 1650 iirc, and that model happens to cost almost twice as much as a normal 1650 when not in a silicon and production shortage

#

2gb of what?

#

Giving your HD 4600 2gb of VRAM through UMA?

#

If you already own it, its faster than your HD 4600, but don't spend any money on it

#

Mayyyybe I'd spend money if it was $15 or less

#

model?

#

Could be used for something

#

maybe VM passthrough if you want to try that

#

worse than the 4600 for games though, yes. Looks like an ATi card

#

$150 MSRP, should be cheaper since the card is generally a letdown already and used options before the shortage were much better at $50 less

go for it
