Quick question for the technologically adept: I found my old monitor, I wanna use it. But it's so got damn old that it only has a VGA cable to display image. I'm about to buy an adapter (not a cable) to plug the VGA cord into, so I can then plug the male HDMI port into my computer to display the image. I am aware VGA does not transfer sound. All I want is the image. Do these adapters actually work? My mobo does not have a VGA port
vapid grove
Yes they work
balmy kiln
good. And that's an HDMI plugging into the computer, then the adapter being plugged into a male VGA head, which then goes into the monitor. That works? I need to make absolutely certain because I don't want to fry anything.

Changing major hardware like that might require a reinstall of the OS.

It'll get this job done. You could get a lot worse for 700. I atleast appreciate them getting a 1650 in there for that price. And others I've seen dont even get you 16 GB of ram too
Some of the other pre builds at 700 have been selling gtx 1030's
thinking on it now, this might be the best value by a bit
the CPU isn't anything special and that's really about the only thing you can count against it. But if you aren't doing much besides gaming? It's pretty fine for that.
Looking at the passmark on it. Its weak for most modern CPU. It's only a little behind like an i7-7700k ( which I have) and that handles everything I need it to do.

By that stage ya better off going DIY
or save up
balmy kiln
You shouldn't go with NZXT anyway imo. Their customer service is so slow it's basically non existent, they rarely ever help and replacements take forever. Especially regarding their major fuckup regarding the H1 NZXT case with their preinstalled riser cable being manufactured like shite and their best solution was to send out nylon screws without even having washers and being the wrong size . . . I'd go DIY
if you're curious about the riser cables, GN and J2C have some good videos that talk about it. GN described it and showed images and videos about the riser cable being manufactured that the hole to attach the riser cable to the chassis mounting bracket is too small so the screw strips out the PCB over use and screw cycles, causing an unprotected 12V plane to be exposed and make contect with the screw on the chassis, resulting in a 12V short to ground, which led to the computer catching fire. After something like that being rectified with a set of nylon screws that tended to break easily if overtightened . . . I'd seriously go with something else. In that, it's always fun to build your own PC.
woeful furnace
Yes. Building your own PC is so fun, just don't be stupid, watch some videos (Maybe use same parts as a budget build?) and do what they do, there are people with the same troubleshooting problems that have solutions, I would rather pay less and for it to take up my time then to pay extra knowing that i'm missing out on the best value i could get and possibly save money for future upgrades.

Nothing good. Best bet is to keep an eye on https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/ or look at local markets for a deal on something used.
3600 + 1660/2060 machines pop up pretty often in the $700 range.

Hmm, can I possibly find a 3600 nowadays?
vapid grove
They are available pretty often for ~$200. Don't see any on the major retailers right now though.
Ebay has some at a markup, ~$230.
If you aren't tied to AMD, intel CPUs tend to be more readily available at MSRP.
Amazon for example has both the 10400 and 11400 in stock rn
rapid lake
I'm ok with both but more leaning to AMD, if I'm going for an Intel I need to go back and check which MBs they go well with

Yep. Would probably just go intel if I were building right now.

Genymotion, which is paid (outside of using it for games) and at one point had malware, Nox, which is spyware (you can do some tweaking to fix that though), google's own in Android Studio, which is super slow for games but great for everything else, Andy, which dropped XMR mining software occasionally, all of the non-Google ones are just modified Virtualbox with malware or spying tossed in

those names are terrible wow, why are they not just the drive's model number like it would be on any other system
UEFI USB key goes first. Or if you have a gigabyte or MSI board, head over to the exit tab and just use the boot override option to go straight to the USB instead of having to change and save settings
If UEFI USB key fails, try the other USB one
brave field
I think your PC is cursed
if you put the USB in your laptop, are the files still on the USB? Just to check and make sure diskpart didn't somehow wipe the USB drive instead
fallow forge
my laptop doesnt even see the usb anymore
it does the sound
but its not in explorer
im getting about ready to break my fist on a wall about now
brave field
Relax, things will be fine
DISKPART somehow wiped the USB instead of the SSD. Open up Disk Management on your laptop and you'll get a window like this
brave field
right click, new simple volume
press next a few times and your USB should now be called "New Volume" and be roughly as large as the size it was advertised to be
you'll have to run the media creation tool again to make the USB have the installer on it, which unfortunately is slow 😦
fallow forge
ok its doing that now
But, diskpart wiped both the SSD and the usb?
because i cant boot from there anymore either
brave field
It absolutely should not wipe more than one drive when select disk 0 or whatever number is used
but I guess it either had a super rare bug or maybe the faulty other install had the actual boot info
brave field
You can boot multiple Windows installs with only one windows bootloader, so its probably more likely the bootloader was on one of the drives that are disconnected now
and the bootloader form that drive was linking to the faulty windows on this SSD
which is completely dumb and is why Grub2 is better
but with that SSD cleaned, things should be fine now
once the media tool makes the USB, you should be able to install with no errors or hiccups at all
fallow forge
i hope so
brave field
once the other drives are plugged in, just set the SSD's "Windows Boot Manager" entry to be the first priority and it should completely ignore any other bootloaders
fallow forge
somehow shit always goes wrong when i try to do things
i need to get a new case and mobo
somehow everything is blocked by my gpu
usb3 connectors, sata connectors
they are either blocked by my gpu, or by the cable holes in my case

when you try to remove it, are you using the clip on the mobo and making sure to uncrew the GPU from the case too?
and this Windows thing isn't you, Microsoft has made a huge mess and really should change it
fallow forge
yeah the clip on the mobo was stuck
i thought it was unclipped but it wasnt
i didnt even want to install the update, but i got a fucking popup every hour

brave field
if you want to extend that new postpone period they added, set your network as metered and it won't ever download updates until you change it back
rapid lake
Some use Pro/Enterprise/Edu licences to disable everything but security updates,...
That's quite embarrassing for Microsoft
brave field
I have this sorta sick and completely unrealistic idea part of it is intentional
send the terrible and flawed updates to power users and hope they forget how to disable the telemetry, gamebar, deleting all the bloat, and other nonsense when they reinstall
And the Media Creation Tool is nasty
why, WHY is it so SLOW vs downloading the iso directly and then using something like Rufus or UNetBootIn?
fallow forge
mid installation i get a prompt to format the drive?
brave field
on the media tool on your laptop, or on the PC?
brave field
Oh, its the media tool
fallow forge
the tool is still going
brave field
just press X, the tool is doing its job and that message box is behind
That message shows when something with unallocated space is connected, and the drive briefly has unallocated space because the media tool does the equivalent of diskpart's clean while making the drive bootable. Let the tool continue, close the extra explorer message saying to format it..
fallow forge

i dont think ive ever had a usb stick so stuck
its the one i never use on the laptop is barely use

brave field
oh, physically
brave field
hm
fallow forge
one MSR, one primary and 2 recovery
brave field
so the wrong number was selected last time which just cleaned off the USB, that or DISKPART messed up and was one number off
don't go back to cmd though
try using the format option in that window and see if the installer will finally just do its job correctly
brave field
back to diskpart
when using list disk be sure to read the size column and make sure its the SSD
Drive 0 in the installer should also link to disk 0 in diskpart, but just in case it does not
brave field
select disk x again, with x being replaced with the number of the disk you get from list disk
fallow forge
disk 0 is my sdd at 223gb
disk 1 is the usb at 14gb
disk 0 is now the selected disk
brave field
clean
fallow forge
diskpart has encountered an error: incorrect function
brave field
"clean" and pressing enter is failing?!
fallow forge
yes
brave field
and "clean" is not working?
fallow forge
diskpart has encountered an error: incorrect function
this comes up after i enter on clean

brave field
Unless the drive itself is dying or something none of these issues should ever be happening
I guess we can try deleting the volumes manually
with list volume, select volume x and delete volume
fallow forge
thank you for the help so far btw
brave field
anytime friend
fallow forge
cant delete the volume either
cannot delete a protected partition without the force protected parameter set
brave field
protected partition, right!
This came after an update, so that defective version of Windows was trying to protect it so it could finish up when it restarted
list disk and select the disk again
multiple sites are saying the next thing should be attributes disk clear readonly
Even with Read-only set to no as stated by the detail disk screenshot there, the attributes thing should remove the "Current Read-only state" above it that is set to yes
brave field
Stumped really. There are a few things about current read-only not matching the normal read-only but unless your SSD has a physical write protect switch that got moved earlier, it seems the best solution is to use something that doesn't respect read-only states like a Linux live USB, but then that a whole different process
Plug all your drives back in, boot into the USB, and try the automatic repair option, I guess. The USB's automatic repairer might be able to do more than the one in the currently inaccessible Windows install.
Everything about it is just abnormal. Having two Windows 10 installs sharing the same bootloader, a windows update severing something to make it unbootable, the troubleshooting parts requiring a password for one install and being useless for the other, and then the installer and DISKPART from a USB not even being enough to clean out the old Windows install to just replace the broken Windows install... it makes no sense
@arctic yarrow @cold elbow Sorry to ping, you know what this might be? An update destroyed Windows and DISKPART/the installer can't even wipe the drive clean for a reinstall
brave field
Make sure the drives that were plugged back in are in fully. Nothing we've tried in software is able to stop your board from POSTing.
fallow forge
<@!123878733248462860> <@!274833120308756481> Sorry to ping, you know what this ...
Also, my pc worked fine all day, randomly my game crashed, didnt launch anymore
Then i rebooted and got bsod with the update
brave field
If its still not POSTing I'm guessing its a hardware issue or something then. Nothing software-side should be able to stop DISKPART from cleaning a drive, and nothing software-side should affect POSTing either.
fallow forge
might have had someting pluged in wrong, im on the windows setup screen again
brave field
Oh, great!
Try the repair or system restore options in the USB again, maybe it was just not working that one time
fallow forge
statup repair couldnt repair your pc
brave field
Shut it down, remove USB, try all the different boot options, and maybe with luck the mid-update one will load right and just work as its supposed to
Or maybe the password screen will let you do something if you just press enter again? I should've worked the first time too, though, hm
Since nothing so far has worked in the slightest, everything should be in the exact same condition it was right after your first BSOD
fallow forge
i cant boot on anything
brave field
everything about this is defective
None of the commands have worked, so nothing has changed from when this started to now, and yet its not booting to the defective windows
fervent granite
Time for Linux to come to the rescue maybe?
fallow forge
multiple sites are saying the next thing should be `attributes disk clear readon...
this command worked
it cleared attributes
but it didnt remove the read only
brave field
the only attribute that command can clear when typed like this is readonly, which was already set to no normally and yes for current read-only
it set a value to the same thing it already was
fallow forge
what if i just install on a different drive, and ritually burn the problematic disk
brave field
That's an option
That or what John said
Linux Live USB time
Linux doesn't respect read-only, or much of anything, for that matter
fallow forge
i have no clue how to work with linux or anything to do with it
cant it just be the disk thats broken?
brave field
Most distros are near identical to Windows when it comes to doing basic tasks
fervent granite
It’s not that hard tbh, gparted is a fantastic tool for this sort of thing that’s included in most Linux distros
brave field
it also could be that SSD, yes
fallow forge
well, if you have the time and patience to guide me trough the process, ill give hat linux tool a try
brave field
Alright
one minute, I'm checking which distros come with what partition program
I recently found Xubuntu doesn't come with a GUI one at all and would like to avoid using dd, not really comfortable with it
fallow forge
honestly, i could just try formatting my 500gb ssd
put windows on there and guy a 1tb m.2 ssd to replace the 250gb one
brave field
That is an option, yes. The thing bothering me is if the Windows installer sees that other SSD has a boot manager on it. sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. But if it does, it'll make your new install depend on that old SSD being plugged in
or, maybe it can't even write the boot manager entry there, since nothing can write to it, hm
If that doesn't work though, grab BionicPup64 here https://puppylinux.com/, get Rufus, and use Rufus to put the BionicPup ISO on the USB drive
fervent granite
So, the problem we've got is windows can't install because a drive is in read-only mode?
brave field
Hopefully this is all accurate and leaves nothing out:
He had a game crash and it was strangely not be able to be reopened. Then Windows update did the thing it likes to do when not disabled, blow itself up. Then there was a BSOD at the reboot the update did, and the options were to boot to the normal windows install or an install "on volume 4." The normal requires a password to do repair stuff, he has no password set and it wasn't accepting blank nor the Microsoft account one. The other install lets one access CMD and the repair tools but they're useless because update has made the drive read-only. The windows installer USB also can't do anything because the drive can't be accessed.
So right now there is a Windows install that has a drive captive and another one... somewhere that has the boot manager /efi partition and all that has been booting the other, and it works, but can't fix the other install
fervent granite
bootrec didn't work?
fallow forge
all the options in the normal version required a password, but i was able to boot on a different OS, which was the volume 4 one
the normal was volume 8 iirc
fervent granite
bios password or a windows password?
fallow forge
windows account
But i never set a password on the pc, and my microsoft password didnt work
im gonna try the linux thing
fervent granite
yeah was about to say, that seems like the only solution at this point
fallow forge
everything has 3 day shipping here and i cant go outside cuz i have covid
so cant order a new disk either
fervent granite
with it you'll be able to backup any files you want to keep and wipe the drives, after which the windows installer shouldn't have any problems
fallow forge
If that doesn't work though, grab BionicPup64 here <https://puppylinux.com/>, ge...
which one do i download from this link?
i dont see rufus
brave field
This link is just for the Linux OS iso, chhoose Ubuntu Bionic 64
Really they all should come with gparted, but I know for sure bionic does because I have a VM open with it
For rufus, you need to get it from its official site
fervent granite
fallow forge
omg my shit ass wifi
see yall in 20 minutes when its done downloading
yep thats gonna take forever to download
ffs
fervent granite
At least it’s puppy linux so it’s lightweight
brave field
The biggest loss will be having to use the media creation tool again
fallow forge
that didnt take as long as this download will
brave field
So it can download 6 gb of stuff, make a 4.2gb ISO, and let you install an OS that can be installed from a 2gb file
o? Interesting
Is the mirror link any faster?
fallow forge
the tool only took around 15-20 minutes
oh yeah the mirror is much faster
for some reason the site didnt work at all
i had to open the download links in a new tab for them to do anything
brave field

@fervent granite @brave field so i got windows installed on my other drive now

detail disk any different?
Wouldn't think so but its worth a shot I guess
Can also check for hardware something with crystaldiskinfo
fallow forge
nope same thing
current read only state is still yes
good thing im at home now anyway
got a whole day of reinstalling shit ahead of me tomorrow
brave field
If you plan to make this a permanent setup, do try to install all your programs to a separate partition, or I guess separate drive in case this happened again
The more you can disconnect things from Windows' own partition, the better
fallow forge
thats what i did on the drive that fucked up now
So if it happens the disk is fucked regardless of the partition
and yeah ill probably order a 1tb m.2 to replace the cursed disk
fervent granite
Seems really strange to me, I had an issue myself where a disk committed suicide from bad sectors but I was still able to write to it
fallow forge
i cant do anything on it
brave field
CrystalDiskInfo have anything to say?
fallow forge
didnt check that yet
all the files on there are untouchable
i can copy them, but not delete them
ehm

its health status is bad
i got no clue what else to see in the program though

yeha
its a corsair force mp500 240gb

brave field
2016
Extremely short time for its health to be like that
Did you register it to get the 5/10 year warranty most components have?
They might be able to either unlock or replace it for you
fallow forge
nope
i cant really be bothered
its only a 240gb drive anyway
Anyway, thanks again for the help, even though we failed in defeating the cursed disk of satan

how do i disable the updates?
brave field
the least intrusive way is to set your main network connection to metered
The one already downloaded will still happen, but this stops future ones
to set to metered, go to Network and Internet->status->connection properties, and it should be the second option
You can delay the current one in Windows Update's settings if you have Pro or above
brave field
not anymore
They stopped letting you do that in 1903 I believe
It resets itself. Same with the group policy edit and the registry edit
It might work for a week or a month, but it always resets eventually.
fervent granite
seems like such a basic feature to have
brave field
Would be nice if instead of removing things, they just made it less accessible
I get that they don't want just anyone disabling it, especially if they don't know what it does, but its really annoying when you DO know and you don't want the updates
Hide it like the developer options in Android, make people click some text 7 times but then at least have the option be usable and not revert itself
also UpdateOrchestrator should be disable-able with a normal admin account, not everyone wants their PC or laptop to turn itself on at 1AM
fervent granite
didn't even know windows could do that
brave field
Not sure if it works from a Windows "shutdown" but it always happens with locking or using sleep
fervent granite
yeah that makes more sense
I thought group policy would for sure work since that's the kind of thing its designed for
brave field
Windows does have the capability to start a PC from a "shutdown"/hibernate state though, if you didn't disable waketimers.
Group Policy can only manage users, not Microsoft's weird decisions, sadly. You can change the settings in gpedit but disabling it entirely is ignored
