Make sure everything is plugged in securely

[proven junco]

Yes they are

[polar fern]

And before you make sure things are plugged in securely unplug the thing from the wall

[proven junco]

I've already done that

Plus brushing the dust out with a small brush

[polar fern]

If it’s unplugged it from the wall then how is it turning on

[proven junco]

No I mean I made sure that everything is plugged in securely

[polar fern]

🤔

[proven junco]

Yeah

[polar fern]

Is the outlet grounded properly?

[proven junco]

Ye

I mean i'm just curious

Because the pc is fine, it doesn't crash, i just have to keep my finger on the case until it boots into window

[polar fern]

It honestly sounds like a cable isn’t connected or a connector isn’t soldered properly or something

There could also be some sort of vibration

[proven junco]

Still this is somewhat of a physical security measure i guess ?

[polar fern]

No it sounds like some sort of issue with something on one of the circuit boards

Could also be a bad power supply

[proven junco]

Because other people wouldn't know that they need to keep their hands on the case until the pc boots into window, they wouldn't know how to turn it on

[polar fern]

Yeah that sounds like some sort of electrical short or ground type thing

[proven junco]

It's been fine, just happened recently tho

Like 2 days ago

[polar fern]

Everything is fine until it’s not

I would say replace the power supply if you can

[proven junco]

Yeah, i'll probably have to unplug it from the wall and check if it's plugged in properly

[polar fern]

I would also check the outlet & the circuit it is connected to

[proven junco]

My pc power cable has 3 pins but i use this weird cube thing that has 2 pins that you can plug a 3 pin cable into

[polar fern]

Oh so it is a grounding issue

[proven junco]

And then you turn 3 pins into 2 pins

What can it do to my pc if this goes on for a long time ?

Perhaps i should buy a new cube thing ?

[polar fern]

If the electrical socket in the wall has a ground wire what you should do is get a two prong adapter that connects to the screw in the outlet cover plate. The screw connects into the outlet receptacle & therefore to the ground wire

[proven junco]

I have no idea what you just typed out

I am dumb af

[proven junco]

Ohhh

Wait so it's not getting enough power right ?

[polar fern]

If the receptacle (the little box that holds the outlets) has a ground wire I would change out the receptacle for one that has a ground pin hole

[proven junco]

What i would need to do is stick a screw into the cover and connect it to the adapter ?

[polar fern]

The cover should already have a screw which keeps it on

[proven junco]

Time to screw around with wires that have 220 Volts

[polar fern]

Um no.

You just unscrew the plate, and plug the adapter in with the plate on & put the plate screw back in

[proven junco]

Explaining to me pc stuff might get harder overtime

Ohhhhh

[wispy marsh]

They grey one looks terrified

[proven junco]

Also can i ask another question

[polar fern]

I know when I'm out of my league... Looking at buying a 3D printer. I am primarily buying it to introduce my 11 year old son to a wider world of tech, engineering and 3d modeling. There's a lot of information out there that seems more or less like sales pitches for a particular brand... I'm wondering if anyone has any sage advice or recommendations based on their experiences with their first 3d printer.

[hollow pulsar]

I don’t have one, but I know printers with filament are easier to work with material-wise, but they need a bit of maintenance over time.

[peak beacon]

Does anyone know a YouTuber/video that shows you how to get more comfortable using powershell and cmd

Network chuck recently made a nifty little video that has about 50 useful commands

[hollow pulsar]

I don’t know of any, but for me, I’m fairly comfortable with using both because I’ve created projects for myself. For example, creating a menu in CMD, or creating a function in powershell that gathers basic info about the computer, like serial number, name, etc… and outputs a custom object with that info.

ahh i dont have gpu drivers installed yet

[acoustic pond]

I havent seen missing dll issues since like early XP days...

I dont think GPU drivers would cause a missing .dll file?

[full fossil]

.dll i see daily as a .NET developer and student for software development

everything we make is just a .dll for a .exe hostprocess

VCRUNTIME140_1.dll > did you make this dll file?

i didnt even installed my IDEs on this laptop yet

its all a fresh install of steam discord firefox tor and co

it might also just be a windows issue

Ah well weird, hope it works out for you.

depends, GPUs can spin up with RGB but still be dead

Are you not getting any video output?

[full fossil]

explain more what happend we might can help

[acoustic pond]

you mean the slot?

oh ok, can you test it with a different cable if you have one or a different PSU?

[full fossil]

can you plug in display cable to mainboard only and try to get into bios?

[acoustic pond]

Or can you post from the onboard video slot?

[full fossil]

then use DDU to deinstall all drivers you still have on it then reinstall there

works most of the time if its a windows machine

[acoustic pond]

a lot of PC shops will offer to test GPUs for you for a small fee

Do you practice avoiding static when handling your hardware with a wrist strap to ground yourself. Static electricty is deadly....

[full fossil]

yes the best would be reinstalling windows entirely

[acoustic pond]

I would say just the GPU if the PSU powers everything else but it wouldent hurt.

[full fossil]

but if you can boot into save mode then first get old drivers out and backup all important data

then reinstall everything

of course whats up?

[acoustic pond]

I dont think its a driver issue

even if your computer didnt have GPU drivers it would still see the GPU and use it abit with regular default windows drivers

doubt it

well slow down now lol I would test your GPU first

Yea it might be time to RMA your GPU if its still under warranty

static electricity can do it....

[full fossil]

i doubt its a hardware problem actually

that could defently have killed it

static charge plus a small capacitor went poof or similar is easy to do

[acoustic pond]

yea you gotta make sure your always grounded when working with your hardware and its best to wear a anti static wrist strap on you to ensure you stay grounded. Another good tip is to touch the metal case before you touch the hardware

[muted relic]

I'm surprised LTT hasn't made a video of them putting an EGPU on the steam deck through the M.2 slot

maybe you can still send those parts back and rerequest them as of transportation dmg i think

Man 1 thing i like laptops for is their portability but the price to performance is soooooooo bad its practically stealing!

[sinful skiff]

Plug in the psu but don’t turn it on, and touch it

Yup

[sinful skiff]

Thank you, I actually never knew that

Invest in a Anti Static Wrist Strap Band a 7 dollar purchase to protect your hardware goes a long way

[charred sigil]

and i don't get why people are obsessed with thin af laptops like do you want paper?!

[sinful skiff]

Yeah

[full fossil]

cant open any browsers and edge takes ages

[acoustic pond]

depends on the use case

[full fossil]

freshly updated win 11

[sinful skiff]

Do you have a phone @full fossil

[full fossil]

yes but its not reachable for me i forgot it friday in my company

[acoustic pond]

the static fried the GPU and your lucky it didnt fire everything else in the PC like your motherboard

[full fossil]

discord works tho

[sinful skiff]

If discord works use google

[charred sigil]

Still i would trade the thiness for better cooling and better io any day

[full fossil]

cant use google as no browser starts

edge starts but cant load any pages

[sinful skiff]

Restart

[full fossil]

maybe ima try that ok

[acoustic pond]

Thats fair and I get that, but not everyone is a heavy PC user and just want something super light to throw in their light pc bag with a notepad or what not and just pull it out

[full fossil]

static charge fries the components as its not controlled energy like from the PSU

[full fossil]

how do i restart on windows 11? i dont find the icon

[acoustic pond]

@orchid swallow Linus did a video about this a year ago, check it out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXkgbmr3dRA

[full fossil]

only did it through updater yet

[charred sigil]

yeah...(those people better hit the gym lol) I wish there was more options other then expensive gaming laptops

[full fossil]

alt f4 it is

[acoustic pond]

My old work gave me a thinkpad X1 carbon and I loved it, amazing keyboard it was thin too, sure the IO was lacking but damn was it nice to just throw it in my LTT backpack and go since it was so light versus my beefy Alienware laptop thats a tank but with all the IO lol

lots of way, classic way is wearing socks on carpet or being a absolute savage and working on them directly on carpet

[charred sigil]

man too bad my PC died

CPU just stopped working for some reason

[full fossil]

depends static can kill on a load of ways even just wearing hair is enough to create static charge

[charred sigil]

No money to fix it unfortunately

better get a job lol

[queen tartan]

feels it would be appropiate to join this

[charred sigil]

(I'm underage btw)

[acoustic pond]

yea we all cant be linus and just drop a ton of money making a petabyte server lol

Welcome @queen tartan enjoy your stay

[full fossil]

if you are passionated do it like me i got my first contract as a software dev as freelancer when i was 11

[acoustic pond]

[queen tartan]

[acoustic pond]

be careful when flashing your bios, good way to brick it lol

[queen tartan]

alright then

[acoustic pond]

if you want to be sure, take your GPU to a PC shop and have it tested

[charred sigil]

@acoustic pond i think i meant mobo firmware

[acoustic pond]

yea if you mess up during the flash of the mobo firmware it will be bricked

[charred sigil]

yeah

[acoustic pond]

proceed with caution

[full fossil]

restarted now

VCRUNTIME140_.dll is still missing and not letting me do anything but all windows updates finished

[acoustic pond]

@full fossil what did you develop at 11, honestly curious

[charred sigil]

Before dying it was throwing a bunch of blue screens

[acoustic pond]

did you get the error message from the blue screen? @charred sigil

[charred sigil]

Yeah

[sinful skiff]

Pc specs?

[charred sigil]

one sec

[acoustic pond]

What was it

[full fossil]

together with a friend and his dad we build small business solution like partical ERP system (enterprise resource planning) or order managment with C#

[full fossil]

lenovo ideapad gaming 3 82k101erge

[sinful skiff]

I said specs

[acoustic pond]

nice pretty impressive for 11, how much did your friends dad pay you?

[queen tartan]

i don't know one piece of info about pcs im just here because im Linus

[acoustic pond]

if you dont mind me asking that is

[acoustic pond]

Its ok im just here for Anthony Young

[queen tartan]

LMAOOO

[sinful skiff]

If I wanted to I could walk down to lmg

[full fossil]

we saved it all up and brought us pcs and servers which he had in his basement then

[charred sigil]

@acoustic pond IRQL_LESS_OR_NOT_EQUAL

[sinful skiff]

Hm

[acoustic pond]

thats normally a driver issue iirc

someone can correct me if they like and call me out for being a fraud

[charred sigil]

i reinstalled the drivers a whole lot

[sinful skiff]

I think I have the cheapest pc for gaming

[charred sigil]

Now it's dead

Good thing school gave me a Laptop

but it's baaaaaaaaad

2 core i3 8gb ram

got no other options soooo

That's the way it is

[acoustic pond]

one thing I would do if you can get back on it, run sfc /scannow in powershell as admin to check for corrupt system files so it can fix them

running DISM can help too, the command is normally DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

[dense violet]

should i trust the util on task manager

[charred sigil]

the reason I'm considering changing the Mobo Bios (it's a B450M PRO-VHD MAX) is because currently the CPU led on ez debug is turned on so it could be the Mobo not recognizing the CPU

[dense violet]

mf saying my new 3080 using 60% w nothing open

[acoustic pond]

well have you confirm it supports the CPU even if you update the bios? @charred sigil

[dense violet]

nvdia overlay saying 7%

[charred sigil]

it worked for a year so yes

[acoustic pond]

wait so it worked before?

[charred sigil]

yes

[acoustic pond]

so what happened when it stopped working, can retrace your steps on what you did?

[charred sigil]

i reset the cmos

reseated the cpu

unplugged everything

And plugged it back on

[acoustic pond]

I mean before troubleshooting

[full fossil]

Hey guys my wife's boyfriend gave me a box with some cool DVDs with old disney movies; in the box I found a disk with 3 deltaforce games but theyre all in .ace format, what do I do with them?

[charred sigil]

I turned it off normally

Wasnt doing much

[acoustic pond]

.ace is a old zip format like .zip

The program WinAce should be able to uncompress them

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACE_(compressed_file_format)

[full fossil]

Damn the latest version of winace is 2008

[acoustic pond]

yea its old af lmao

Even WinRar hasent supported ace since like 5.70

[charred sigil]

damn

[full fossil]

My dvd drive is making formula 1 sounds

I salvaged it from an old optiplex

[charred sigil]

lol

[acoustic pond]

nice, thats a keeper

[full fossil]

I think I downloaded the wrong thing

#tech-chat-1

[charred sigil]

so

what should I do

[full fossil]

I dont know if i should believe it's real

[acoustic pond]

what does task manager show that is running currently?

[full fossil]

WinAce Archiver v2.69 (32bit)

The app seems pretty legit

It's just the jokes that made it look suspicious

[acoustic pond]

it used to be used a lot to deliever malware

[full fossil]

Well it worked i extracted the game

Now im trying to figure out how to play it

Like how to open the thing

[acoustic pond]

nice good job

why?

what are you asking them

[quartz adder]

hi

[acoustic pond]

Maybe?

Why would PC repair shops be closed on Saturday? I could see why on a Sunday

[sinful skiff]

Do I use fidelity fx or fsr 2.2

[full fossil]

Anyone know of a free way to cast my PC screen to my phone to use as a vr headset

I have a vr headset you put ur phone in

[sinful skiff]

Don’t

Phones suck for vr

You need at least 90hz to get a smooth vr experience

[dense helm]

I’m leaving the server bye

[sinful skiff]

Bye

[full fossil]

It was a free gift from a friend and I want to get it working so they stop bugging me about it

I don't want them to feel bad lol

[sinful skiff]

Why not?

[full fossil]

Yeah my phone can do that

[sinful skiff]

What phone you got?

[full fossil]

Also I lock to entertain the idea of playing some opc games in VR

If you got a recent samsung i dont see why it wouldnt work you have 120hz

[sinful skiff]

Or an iphone 14

[full fossil]

It's an android I forget exactly but I remember looking it up and it was somewhere between 90-120

You can check in settings

It's a moto Z4

Thats 60hz refresh rate

Nvm

You can set it to 120

[vital gyro]

when is portal rtx releasing 😭

[full fossil]

How do I do that

I'm trying to find that setting

Nvm

It's 60hz

120hz is the touch sampling rate

Okay, I still want to try it

What app do we need

I*

Idk why it said we lol

Are you sure you want to go this way, using a pc to display on your phone?

Isnt there a specific phone app that's paired for that headset you got

No

It is just fancy plastic and lenzes

No hardware at all

I'm trying to figure out how to use it

I still dont understand what you need the pc for then

Game

Which game

Play game on PC but displayed to phone in the VR set

[full fossil]

Whatever game is on my PC

[outer pollen]

[full fossil]

Ah so you just want it projected

Yes

I thought you wanted to use 360 view or something

No

Just download airdroid cast

Does it have a vr setting ?

I dont think so

Oh I need the display to be VR friendly

It might work it might need to split the screen and duplicate

Wait no I want computer screen casted to my phone

Not phone to PC

Yes

[acoustic pond]

take this as a lesson, static electricity is no joke

[full fossil]

Downliad airdroid cast

The main image thing saids controll phone from computer that's backwards lol

It mirrors your pc screen to your phone

Okay

[olive stream]

LMAO, a fly just flew into my pc fan.

[arctic quiver]

Did you attract it with RGB?

[olive stream]

I did, yes.

The only fan that it could fly into was the back fan

Out of all the 6 fans it flew into that one

[arctic quiver]

RIP fly, your family will miss you

[olive stream]

The fly took the tornado down the toilet

[arctic quiver]

I just checked my computer has no fly's in it, but my 5 fans are RGB. That fly must have been sad

[fossil frost]

that fly is now a smudge on your fan and the inside of your case

[arctic quiver]

One with the case

[olive stream]

My case is now 0.5% fly

[arctic quiver]

What is your case the size of a matchbox?

[olive stream]

Pizza box

[arctic quiver]

10" for one

[full fossil]

I’m the creeper

Catch me if you can

[tawdry rapids]

i have given into the RGB

i need MORE

[north wraith]

So is Elon trying to destroy twitter on purpose?

[fossil frost]

seems like it

[north wraith]

Huh, well if that’s true I respect it

[fossil frost]

if you assault your female coworkers at your other places of business.. and those female coworkers take to twitter to detail said assault, and the nature of the assault... it might be worth you trying to silence them if you can, especially since you are using other peoples money to buy twitter, and never actually risk anything of your own money, and in fact, made quite a lot of money out of the other peoples money

[north wraith]

Ohh that’s a big brain move

[fossil frost]

its what happens when you are a sociopathic billionare who made their money from dead slaves in their dads opal mine

[north wraith]

Kind of like getting rid of a companies pr team

(I am pretty sure Tesla dose not have a pr team anymore)

[fossil frost]

you start to think you are untouchable, and can buy your way out of anything... problem is... the wealthy investors he conned money out of to buy twitter... were promised a very quick payday from twitter for their trust... and their money is now practically worthless.... and now elon and twitter are about to get sued into the ground

[north wraith]

Eh I think he’s going to be ok but will see

[minor sandal]

Folks, I need some mega chads to help me right now. #virtual-reality My grandma needs help, no kidding

[north wraith]

Pretty sure quest is still the best bang for your buck if you don’t mind sharing data

[fossil frost]

of course he will be, he has powerful friends who he has personally helped get very great positions of power... whats the point of being a billionare if you cant buy power from corrupt politicians

[full fossil]

I just bought a 13600K and a motherboard 👀

[arctic quiver]

You're still missing a few components

[north wraith]

Nah if memory serves biggiecheese had the rest already

[arctic quiver]

Nice, time to build!

[north wraith]

Nice this is to replace that one that got fried right?

Couple weeks ago or something?

[arctic quiver]

Fried, what the heck happened?

[north wraith]

I forgot the details I was hanging out here working on my own tech issues (ended up have for reformat my laptop all good now)

[sonic barn]

why isnt the mac video on mac address

[full fossil]

Yep

[arctic quiver]

How did it happen?

[leaden gale]

Because Horst didn't make it

[north wraith]

Must have gotten lost in the DNS

[full fossil]

Bad power supply

[north wraith]

That’s right

[full fossil]

Bad power supply

[arctic quiver]

Ouch

[north wraith]

You got a new one of those too right?

[full fossil]

Ye

[sonic barn]

also they mentioned "yiffing" on the new techlinked episode

[full fossil]

Now I owe my dad 430$ (I’m making 300$ soon so only 130$)

[graceful burrow]

I'm surprised that word isn't banned

[leaden gale]

What the fuck

[sonic barn]

same

[north wraith]

Nice bank of dad is way nicer then credit cards

[sonic barn]

credit cards are debt cards

promotes consumer spending though

[north wraith]

At first I thought you said debit

[acoustic pond]

not always, just the card owner needs to have to watch their spending and dont let it snowball out of control, remember the golden rule, keep your credit cards under 30 percent utilization, even lower is better. A nice hack is open a bunch of credit cards with no annual fee and just keep them open and use them once in a while so they dont go inactive from lack of use

[full fossil]

I spend 20 minutes explaining why I can’t use a 9700f with a b660

[acoustic pond]

same lol

[sonic barn]

that's a bad idea

[acoustic pond]

keep your utilization under 30 percent?

[sonic barn]

you don't want to have many credit cards because if you lose one it'll domino onto other cards and credit score.

[acoustic pond]

What do you mean lose one?

Like close it?

[sonic barn]

stolen or lost

[acoustic pond]

Most major credit cards offer protection from stolen or lost cards and you can freeze the old card and get a new one

[sonic barn]

still affects credit score

but for fraud it depends on the case

sometimes they can't cover

like if it was wired to another bank

[arctic quiver]

I have three credits. One for monthly subscriptions, one for everyday spending and the last is a use once in a while. Went up 100 points in the last 6 months. After I royally screwed it when I was 18-22

[sonic barn]

and taken out

[acoustic pond]

Thats not bad at all

[sonic barn]

I have 0 credit cards and 2 bank cards

debit/master/visa

I don't usually buy things

[acoustic pond]

You still need good credit history though, no credit history is almost as bad as bad credit history

[sonic barn]

however I technically have 3 since I got one with ibkr through their plan

[sonic barn]

I'd rather get a bank loan than a credit loan

[acoustic pond]

The biggest killer of credit scores in my expirence is really bad payment history cause that shit sticks for 7 years and maxed out credit cards

[sonic barn]

bank loans have fixed rates for contracts and can be tied to stocks you own or assets but never beyond a certain point. Also can have a decade to pay it off if mortgage or something

[acoustic pond]

Or you can just get a credit card and pay it off at the end of the month lmao

[sonic barn]

yeah but imo credit cards just promote consumerism

reflected in the rates

[acoustic pond]

Well it drives the economy...

[sonic barn]

bank loans are lower and longer

[sonic barn]

economy is trash

[acoustic pond]

Its a cycle it will get better

stock market has been trash since beginning of this year

Nvida stock alone has lost 45 percent of its value YTD

actually might be a good time to get back in, assuming its bottomed out

same with Apple stocks

[full fossil]

finally almost finished setting up my laptop for use

thanks everyone for the help

[acoustic pond]

congrats man

[full fossil]

only things missing are my IDEs which are almost done

only CLion and Rider missing from all products pack

[vapid smelt]

most likely shit

[fossil frost]

prediction for the future of computing... X86 chips with ARM coprocessors/cores, where more and more of the work is moved to the ARM coprocessor/ARM core on the x86 chip... and we will gradually get fewer x86 cores and more ARM cores... where windows/linux/other OS's will run more and more on the ARM cores, to a point where ARM becomes the dominant part of the chip and x86 cores are left for hardware accelerated backwards compatibility for older apps on those OS's... until we get to a time where x86 is dropped entirely (replace ARM with RISC-V in that prediction, unsure which it will be, but will be one of them)

[arctic quiver]

It's probly eating all the dead flys that yeeted themselves into your case fans

[sage steeple]

[pliant karma]

I have no flies in my room ever if they do they always go out

[sage steeple]

no wonder you have flies in your room

[pliant karma]

I do get mosquitos once in while so spiders are a welcome creature here

[pliant karma]

does it help that I clean office pcs that haven't been cleaned in years in my room, window open, hepa filter on. I can do it outside but I am lazy to move the systems outside once in my shelf

[arctic quiver]

I might of done that once or twice, maybe four

[pliant karma]

lol I deal with many depending on how many devices are sent to scrap at my mom's work location.

usually batches of 10 or 8 just depends when she returns the 2x weekly trip north

most have been given to an independent IT friend for his clients, I keep a few as props for films set if needed on my college campus studio

[sage steeple]

window open sounds like the reason

personally i just choke on the dust

also toshiba is done im gonna auction them off eventually due to the fact that i do not want them in my office anymore
