Funny way for them to word it then lol

vestal ibex Apr 28, 2023, 9:57 PM

#

Probably the legal team that wrote that. If they called out Intel specifically they could get in trouble, so they made it a broad statement.

fleet basalt Apr 28, 2023, 9:58 PM

#

I wonder what their definition of “high performing GPUs with lower performing CPUs” is

vestal ibex Apr 28, 2023, 9:58 PM

#

Probably a 4080 with a 12100 or something

fleet basalt Apr 28, 2023, 9:59 PM

Since some of the problems were with 7800X3Ds and 4090s feelsweird

vestal ibex Apr 28, 2023, 9:59 PM

#

vestal ibex Probably a 4080 with a 12100 or something

Which is usually fine at higher resolutions unless the game is CPU heavy like this one sounds

Alright so I have to get an 11th gen CPU when I build newer peepoSadSip

fleet basalt Apr 28, 2023, 10:00 PM

#

I had bad performance with my build at like 40-50 frames, but I was GPU bottlenecked

#

Might just be silly optimization

Normal new game issues tbh

Has there been a single AAA game this year without some performance issues on launch?

#

so i got a new-to-me laptop today, its a significantly older msi laptop but i still love it, but for some reason it wont detect my headset microphone as mic input. i have audio coming to the headset fine, but the only microphone its using is the one built into the laptop itself

#

any reason why it wont work?

wraith timber Apr 30, 2023, 2:57 AM

#

Probably only got channels for stereo out

#

If it's old it probably has a dedicated microphone/audio in jack

#

So you'd have to split

#

You might already have a splitter?

wary mica Apr 30, 2023, 4:23 AM

#

wraith timber You might already have a splitter?

It does have two. I do not have a splitter. however, i just ordered a brand new steelseries arctis 1 headset, which should come with one, so i should be fine. Thank you.

#

I do have another question though - this laptops trackpad isnt the greatest and my main issue with it is that i cant use two fingers to scroll. I have to click and drag the scrollbar everytime. According to reviews on the laptop this guy had to re-enable it or something and i have absolutely no clue how, ive looked at control panel, regular settings, and nothing of the sort.

wraith timber Apr 30, 2023, 4:25 AM

#

Maybe it has the kind that has you sliding your finger up and down from the side of the trackpad?

#

Another option is using the arrow keys, which I'm fond of

#

That works doesn't it? monka

wary mica Apr 30, 2023, 4:27 AM

#

wraith timber Maybe it has the kind that has you sliding your finger up and down from the side...

nope

#

and arrow keys dont work for discord and im assuming other apps

#

there has to be a way to turn it back on

#

i mean the guy in the review did it lol

I also need more ram in this thing

I have 8gb which is plausible but I’d like more

wraith timber Apr 30, 2023, 4:57 AM

#

You need only a couple things, the SSD itself and a USB to SATA adapter

#

And you need a cloning software, namely macrium reflect

wary mica Apr 30, 2023, 4:59 AM

#

How much would that all cost

#

Ugh this is taking forever

#

Finally, jesus

wraith timber Apr 30, 2023, 5:02 AM

#

First step is defragmenting the hard drive just to get it squared away (idk if this is necessary, but that's what they all recommend)

Second step is plugging in the SSD over USB

Third step is cloning the drive using the software, making sure the drive partition from the original drive can fit in the new one (don't try it if you have ~900GB of data and a 500GB SSD)

And last step is opening the thing up to switch out the drives, after which you can keep the old drive around as a backup of that disk image or use as an external hard drive

#

Idunno what SSD prices are these days, but the USB adapter should be something like 9 dollars, and the software is free to use

wary mica Apr 30, 2023, 5:04 AM

sorry back to this question if I may:
I can always use the new SSD just for storage for now,
and create a new partition for when I wanna install an OS (whether single Windows/Linux, or multiboot) later,
storage partition won't be wiped right ?
(as long as configured correctly)

vestal ibex Apr 30, 2023, 3:48 PM

#

If you make the storage partition on the end of the drive and leave enough room at the front to install the OS you want, then that would work

near furnace Apr 30, 2023, 5:04 PM

#

gotcha thanks

#

so for now I can just copy all the games installs over to the new SSD without creating a new partition

#

then create a new partition at the beginning of the drive for when I'm ready to install an OS

#

wait actually, maybe I should just do that now

#

because ig if I don't, I'll have to move all that storage data towards the end of the drive,
before I can create a new partition, right ?

#

orrr alternatively,
I can just keep the new SSD as storage-only

#

and use the newly freed up space on current drive for multibooting

#

so current TLC for OSes only, and QLC for storage only

#

So the question then becomes:

If u had a 2TB TLC, and a 2TB QLC
U wanna multi-boot Windows and Linux distros
u wanna have storage for games and other media

How would u manage it ?

Hello all. I am back here again with another issue on my MSI laptop.

Whenever I put the computer to sleep. Like ever. Even just closing the laptop, like laptops do, when I turn it back on the screen goes absolutely crazy and doesn’t work. The only way to fix it is by force restarting it with the power button. It’s done this to my sister, who gave it to me, for awhile. I have no clue if this is a software or hardware problem but I thought I’d ask here.

Will this be a clean install of windows and i lose all my data/files/apps?

#

Or will i be able to keep those

#

If not, its fine, i dont mind reinstalling everything

#

it just takes awhile

vestal ibex Apr 30, 2023, 7:24 PM

#

You can do it either way

#

It can do an "upgrade" install that will keep your personal data (some programs may need to be reinstalled but data intact)

wary mica Apr 30, 2023, 7:25 PM

That's awesome

And this will run perfectly fine on my laptop?

Background: I have used chrome for a while. All of a sudden the browser stopped playing sound. It doesn't show up in my audio mixer at all but the tabs say they are playing sound. Switched to Firefox and that worked for a bit until the same issue happened. Then I swapped to Opera GX and that worked for a week until the same issue occurred. No applications have exclusive use over my audio device. I have tried to update audio drivers to the newest versions, perform system updates, clean uninstall and reinstall the browsers, nothing has worked. I can hear sound for every other application (including Edge browser) except for the above mentioned browsers which no longer show up in my audio mixer/volume settings. Not sure what to do from here. Any help/advice is appreciated. Thanks (just @ me)

It's fairly simple to copy with the program though. Select the drive to copy, click copy, tell it where to copy, and wait.

Personally, I'd delete the stuff you don't want before cloning the drive. That way the useless stuff isn't making the cloning process longer and once it's been done, you are set.

vestal ibex May 21, 2023, 12:28 AM

Then the whole drive will be unallocated, select the unallocated space and hit next

the unallocated space should the the bottom one right

because if it is it dosent let me select it for use

vestal ibex May 21, 2023, 12:31 AM

could the cpu be the issue as well

#

or that has nothing to do with it

vestal ibex May 21, 2023, 12:44 AM

It's possible if it's an AM4 ryzen CPU and there's a bent pin

vestal ibex May 21, 2023, 12:46 AM

Is it an AM4 CPU?

#

If so it's easy to check for bent pins, look at them straight on from the side and they should line up perfectly

Anything else modern would have the pins on the motherboard, which are much smaller and more fragile, while also being harder to tell if damaged

Since you're not installing windows on the raid volume you don't need the driver during the install, but you do need the driver if you're doing hardware (assisted) raid from the Intel chipset to use it in windows.

Is there a link to download windows 10 media tool for usb for new pc?

#

Also do u need to install bios on a seperate usb as well?

#

Or do u just need one usb for windows and update bios

graceful bramble May 27, 2023, 10:45 PM

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

#

After you install Windows 10 you can format the USB drive or use another one to update your motherboard's BIOS.

zinc oak May 27, 2023, 10:48 PM

#

So after windows 10 took is installed onto the usb

#

I just plug the usb into one of the ports in the back of the case?

#

And spam delete key?

#

I don’t need to install anything else on a diff usb to load up and update bios correct?

#

Just the windows 10 on usb

graceful bramble May 27, 2023, 10:54 PM

#

Correct, you don't even need Windows 10 to update the BIOS.

zinc oak May 27, 2023, 11:13 PM

#

No

#

Like

#

To install windows basically

#

Brand new pc

#

I just now found out

#

I don’t need a second usb

#

Bios already comes with motherboard

#

Just plug in usb with windows 10

#

Spam delete key

#

Then update bios THEN setup windows 10

#

Done

#

#

Which port do I plug the usb in?

graceful bramble May 27, 2023, 11:55 PM

#

Read the motherboard's manual.

#

The port should be labeled BIOS or flashback.

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 12:02 AM

#

Figured it out

#

But bro

#

Pc not turning on

#

Spamming delete key

#

Bios isn’t appearing

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 1:58 AM

#

zinc oak Bios isn’t appearing

What motherboard and CPU?

#

You might need to update bios to support a newer CPU. The port right next to the button, with the white box around it. You'll take your USB with the renamed bios file, plug into that port, and press and hold the flashback button. It'll take several minutes to flash.

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 2:12 AM

#

vestal ibex What motherboard and CPU?

ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2 Micro ATX AM5

AMD ryzen7 7800x

Does anyone know how I can configure my wifi 6 network card to run wifi 6 instead of 3?

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 2:13 AM

#

vestal ibex What motherboard and CPU?

I plugged the windows usb into that port with the white box

#

Am I supposed to plug it into the one next to it?

#

Is that the issue?

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 2:18 AM

vestal ibex You might need to update bios to support a newer CPU. The port right next to the...

I obviously have to update bios no matter what lmao that’s what im tryna figure out but the monitor WONT turn on and bios is not appearing after I spam both delete and f2 different times

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 2:23 AM

#

zinc oak AMD ryzen7 7800x

Hmm that should be supported out of the box. It's still worth updating because that'll clear the CMOS in the process.

#

My board says it supports wifi 6

balmy grove May 28, 2023, 2:24 AM

#

That's device list

#

Not wifi standard

#

Don't worry about it, it's simply a name windows chose to give it

violet gate May 28, 2023, 2:25 AM

#

That's the only wifi I have on my PC...

#

Ok

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 2:25 AM

#

Yeah and my Ethernet is currently on Ethernet 8

#

It's just a name

violet gate May 28, 2023, 2:25 AM

#

Then why does my board say wifi 6 capable? Just curious

balmy grove May 28, 2023, 2:26 AM

#

It's a name

#

Wifi 6 is a standard, aka AX wifi

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 2:26 AM

#

If you go into connection properties it'll tell you what protocol it's using

balmy grove May 28, 2023, 2:26 AM

#

^

violet gate May 28, 2023, 2:26 AM

#

It says wifi 4 (802.11n)

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 2:27 AM

#

It's running at a reduced speed then, probably because either the router doesn't support WiFi 6 or the signal is too bad

balmy grove May 28, 2023, 2:27 AM

#

That sounds like router is too old

violet gate May 28, 2023, 2:28 AM

#

It's atleast 5....

#

I was still a sophomore in high school

#

Sophomore or junior

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 2:28 AM

#

5 as in 5 years old router?

violet gate May 28, 2023, 2:28 AM

#

Mhmm

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 2:28 AM

#

Because that's too old

violet gate May 28, 2023, 2:28 AM

#

I knew it 😅😅

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 2:29 AM

#

WiFi 6 launched 2-3 Years ago

violet gate May 28, 2023, 2:29 AM

#

My mother(the one in charge of finances) has been saying it's fine because it was top of the time when we bought it

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 2:29 AM

#

It is fine

#

It's not suddenly slower because new stuff came out

violet gate May 28, 2023, 2:30 AM

#

No, but when my download speeds hit 1Kbps....

#

With a rare max of 1 Mbps when I'm in the same room...

#

All of our systems are like that

#

She just doesn't notice because she's on Facebook or reddit...

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 2:31 AM

#

There's a separate issue for that then, it's probably too close to something metal or something is blocking it

#

Or interference from the microwave

violet gate May 28, 2023, 2:31 AM

#

I'm between the router and microwave

#

And there's multiple walls between me and the microwave

#

And probably 3 ft between me and the router

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 2:32 AM

vestal ibex Hmm that should be supported out of the box. It's still worth updating because t...

Do I need to put the usb into the port next to the one it’s plugged in?

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 2:34 AM

#

No the one you circled is correct

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 2:35 AM

#

Oh

#

So it’s already plugged into that

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 2:35 AM

#

I was about to find the update you need and tell you what to rename the file to but my power went out

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 2:35 AM

#

Tried turning on pc so many times build still doesn’t appear

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 2:35 AM

#

vestal ibex I was about to find the update you need and tell you what to rename the file to ...

Ah

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 2:35 AM

#

So yeah if someone else could look that up 😅

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 2:35 AM

#

All I’ve installed so far is windows 10 media key on that specific usb

#

Since I heard bios alr came with my motherboard I didn’t need to download anything related to that on another usb

#

Just windows on one usb and plug it in

#

Which I did and turned on pc multiple times, spammed either delete key or f2

#

No results of bios appearing on monitor

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 2:44 AM

#

It's a good idea to update the bios anyway, since that solves the problem of the motherboard and CPU destroying each other

#

Literally, not figuratively

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 2:47 AM

#

No that’s what I’m tryna do lmao

#

I’m literally trying to get bios to appear on monitor

#

This is why I’m here lolol

#

I’m saying how ppl told me I don’t need to install anything bios related on another usb

#

And how I just need windows media on one usb and plug it in

#

Done all of that

#

Now when I turn on the pc

#

Bios doesn’t appear on monitor

#

I need it to appear and show up so that I can see it with my two eyeballs in order to update it lmao

#

But nothing is working

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 2:59 AM

#

No that's what flashback is for, you don't need to turn it on to update

#

My power just came back online so I'll get the update and instructions in a second

#

#

https://www.asrock.com/support/QA/FlashbackSOP.pdf

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 3:12 AM

#

Don’t ppl turn their pc on

#

Then bios appears on their monitor

#

Then they update it

#

Then windows gets setup

#

Then they use it

#

I don’t get it lmao

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 3:12 AM

#

Read the flashback SOP I linked

#

You don't need to turn it on at all

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 3:12 AM

#

Literally every video I’ve ever watched displayed ppl updating bios on monitor

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 3:13 AM

#

That's an entirely different method, you'll be using flashback

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 3:15 AM

#

Why don’t I need to plug the usb in the port and just do it on monitor

#

Like almost everyone else

#

It’s it because my motherboard is different

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 3:15 AM

#

Your motherboard has the extra feature of flashback

#

It's an external programmer that writes directly to your bios chip without turning on the system

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 3:16 AM

#

So is that an option

#

Or is that mandatory that use flashback

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 3:16 AM

#

That's what needs to be done in this case

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 3:16 AM

#

Bruh

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 3:16 AM

#

Because you're not getting it to post

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 3:17 AM

#

So doing it on the monitor is not possible as of now

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 3:17 AM

#

Correct

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 3:17 AM

#

Omg

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 3:17 AM

#

Because there's no display

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 3:17 AM

So when everything is done from those instructions and I turn on the pc the monitor will appear?

balmy grove May 28, 2023, 4:07 AM

#

Should be

#

If the process didn't get interrupted

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 4:08 AM

#

If it doesn't there's another issue, like a power cable isn't connected properly

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 4:58 AM

Everything is connected where it’s supposed to be connected and is tightly connected

#

So it should turn on if everything is done

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 4:59 AM

I’ll do it tmrw

Need a stress free night

Welp

Tough

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 5:07 AM

But there is that small issue of the CPUs literally exploding

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 5:09 AM

#

Idk abt that chief

#

Ppl so far said pc SHOULDNT explode

#

that’s why I have it placed on top of my desk instead of under

#

I would need more fans to do that lmao

#

Also dust and particles not Great for it

#

Just a better move in general

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 5:10 AM

#

It shouldn't you're right, it takes a bit of time for the damage to get that far

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 5:11 AM

#

Plus it’s noted that if it does even get near that point

#

The parts will literally shut down instead of blowing up

#

So the pc would just turn dead instead of exploding

#

Atleast I make it out alive 👍

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 5:13 AM

#

Well that was the issue. They should have shut down instead of blowing up, but they didn't.

#

Newer bios versions fix that at least

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 5:21 AM

#

No clue dawg

#

That’s what I’ve been told

#

Just don’t mf burn and blow up while I play games lmao that’s all I ask

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 3:36 PM

#

@vestal ibex so I plug in the usb with bios first?

#

Then after mb updates bios

#

I plug in the usb with windows and boot up the pc?

#

Wtf

#

Can’t rename it to its motherboard name

#

Says it’s too long

#

Tf

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 6:43 PM

#

zinc oak Can’t rename it to its motherboard name

It's supposed to be renamed to CREATIVE.ROM, capitals and all

#

And you can use the same USB drive for both windows and bios if you want

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 6:50 PM

#

Well damn

#

Messed it all up gotta use another usb

#

Do you rename the file or the application?

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 7:03 PM

#

The update file

#

After you extract it from the zip

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 7:04 PM

#

The zip is the file that appears when u download bios?

#

It appears as winrar

#

I extracted that winrar file

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 7:04 PM

#

Yes

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 7:04 PM

#

So after I extracted the file into the usb

#

Do I rename the file or the application

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 7:05 PM

#

Rename the B65HDV_1.24.AS02.ROM file to CREATIVE.ROM

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 7:05 PM

#

Doesn’t exist

#

Only shows RX7900XTX_24GB_Default_OC

#

The file is named that

#

When I click on it

#

The application is also named that

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 7:06 PM

#

What application are you talking about

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 7:06 PM

#

Ok so

#

I downloaded the lastest bios update from the motherboard website

#

Then a winrar file appeared

#

I extracted that winrar file into the usb file

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 7:07 PM

vestal ibex https://download.asrock.com/BIOS/AM5/B650M-HDVM.2(1.24.AS02)ROM.zip

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 7:11 PM

#

Yes

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 7:12 PM

#

Ok

#

Now the motherboard file is in the usb file

#

Now I rename that mb file to CREATIVE.ROM?

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 7:12 PM

#

Yes

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 7:13 PM

#

Done

#

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 7:14 PM

#

Ok, now you put the USB into the port we talked about on the motherboard before, do NOT turn on the PC, and press the BIOS_FLBK button next to the USB port. Hold the button until the light starts flashing, it'll flash for a few minutes.

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 7:15 PM

#

Hold it for 3-5 sec?

#

Then wait until light flash turns off

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 7:15 PM

#

Around there yeah

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 7:15 PM

#

Then boot pc up?

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 7:15 PM

#

Yes

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 7:15 PM

#

and then I don’t need to spam delete or f2

#

On keyboard

#

Because bios alr setup

#

Right?

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 7:16 PM

#

Correct, the bios will have default settings that are fine

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 7:16 PM

#

Ok

#

Can I download windows 10 media tool on this same exact usb file as well

#

Like u said earlier it can hold both bios update and windows

#

So after I boot it up it should take me straight to windows setup

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 7:16 PM

#

Yes

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 7:16 PM

#

Perfect

#

Now let’s try and SEE if it actually works lmao

#

#

This is what it finally looks like

#

Now I take usb out and plug it into pc?

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 7:18 PM

#

That looks wrong actually

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 7:18 PM

#

And do the thing

#

.

#

oh f

#

What now

#

I literally installed windows media tool from the site

#

And moved the file into usb

#

Idk how to extract windows

#

So I just dragged it in

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 7:19 PM

#

Run the media creation tool and it walks you through making the USB drive

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 7:19 PM

#

O

#

So I drag it back?

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 7:20 PM

#

Yes drag that back to your downloads or desktop

#

Then run it

#

Tell it you want to make installation media and point it to that USB drive

#

Then it downloads and copies the install data, and makes the USB drive bootable

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 7:22 PM

#

goodneess

#

So it’s just finishing up progress rn

#

But any more steps after that?

#

Besides plugging it in?

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 7:31 PM

#

It looked like the update file didn't get copied correctly so you'll copy this file to the USB drive

📎 CREATIVE.ROM

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 7:43 PM

#

Bro what

#

It just got done setting up lmao

#

Now do I move the same windows media file over to usb?

#

Or do I need to do more extracting

#

Now it shows this

#

#

Tf

#

Do I just drag windows 10 into it now

graceful bramble May 28, 2023, 8:06 PM

#

The USB drive is not bootable and you need to boot to it on the computer you would like to install Windows on.

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 8:10 PM

#

what

#

I just put the bios file into the usb file

#

That’s what they told me to do

#

So do I need to drag the windows media file into the usb or no?

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 8:58 PM

#

zinc oak So do I need to drag the windows media file into the usb or no?

No you're done with the tool, now you plug into the computer and update bios, then when it's done and you turn it on it should go straight to the USB to install windows

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 8:59 PM

#

vestal ibex No you're done with the tool, now you plug into the computer and update bios, th...

Wait

#

So

#

#

This is what it looks like rn

#

Is that what it’s supposed to be like?

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 9:00 PM

#

Did you copy the CREATIVE.ROM file because it's not in that picture

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 9:00 PM

#

.

#

I already had that file

#

In the usb

#

After I setup the windows thing

#

It turned into that

#

The entire usb file turned into what that image is

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 9:00 PM

#

Yes and the windows USB setup erased the drive during the process

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 9:01 PM

#

oh

#

So

#

What now

Is that supposed to happen?

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 9:01 PM

So you need to copy the file again, I have it here for convenience

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 9:01 PM

#

So

#

Basically just drag the file into the usb?

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 9:02 PM

#

Yes

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 9:02 PM

#

I don’t need to drag the windows file to the usb?

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 9:02 PM

#

For convenience I already extracted and renamed the file

#

No need for the setup file any more

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 9:03 PM

#

So I just click on that file u sent?

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 9:03 PM

#

You'll drag that file to the USB

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 9:03 PM

#

Well I can’t physically drag it

#

Until it’s downloaded

#

On my pc

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 9:04 PM

#

Right

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 9:04 PM

#

Then I go in my files and drag it

#

Ok

#

Done

#

#

Now is that what it’s supposed to look like?

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 9:05 PM

#

Perfect

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 9:05 PM

#

It now has it in there

#

Ok

#

Now I just plug it in

#

Press that button thing

#

And wait how many mins?

#

Or do I wait until light turns off

vestal ibex May 28, 2023, 9:05 PM

#

Until the light stops flashing

zinc oak May 28, 2023, 9:05 PM

#

It should be in the GPU.
Make sure the monitor is on the correct input as well.

android question because i don't use android. I have a samsung tablet that "only prints to samsung printers" I need to print a sensitive email and screenshots will not work. There is also no save to pdf option. Is there any app I can get to add printing functionality? From the looks of it this tablet hasn't been opened in 9 years so maybe an older app

#

I also cannot forward the email because the account is shut down

vestal ibex May 31, 2023, 1:21 AM

#

Dang that would have been my first suggestion, HP printers let you send an email to your printer to print files lol.

#

@last gorge You can't install the printer apps from the play store?

last gorge May 31, 2023, 1:24 AM

#

After 2 days I finally figured out a way to do it. Downloading apps wouldn't work because although the search works the connection would fail everytime you try to download anything not to mention there were no apps for hp, brother or xerox. What I ended up doing was saving each email as a .eml then emailing it from a different email on the device and then opening it in outlook on mac to print

vestal ibex May 31, 2023, 1:27 AM

The play store probably needed an update before it would work right

Weird the apps weren't on the store too, maybe the android version was too old

Is the motherboard still under warranty? If so you wouldn't be wasting any money claiming that warranty.
If it's not in warranty then I'd say it's the motherboard with 99.9% certainty. CPU failure is incredibly uncommon.

vestal ibex Is the motherboard still under warranty? If so you wouldn't be wasting any money...

nope, he told me the same thing, i bought it in 2020 i tried contacting the page but they charge and cnt replace it cause warranty's gone, he also told me the same about CPU failure

Today I moved my home server from the 2nd router to the 1st one, connected via ethernet, but there's an issue: the pc connects fine if it has an automatic assigned IP but if I try to set it to static (network and internet>ethernet>properties>ipv4 config) i input it's previous IP (192.168.1.78), subnet mask (255.255.255.0) and default gateway (192.168.1.254) like this it disconnects from the internet, takes about 2 minutes to show "connected" but there's actually no internet connection. How do I solve this? I've already tried uninstalling the device but apparently didn't work

#

Btw does "uninstalling" the device (the ethernet adapter) restore it's config settings to the default ones?

idle dragon Jun 2, 2023, 9:10 PM

#

Because I changed them when it was connected to the other router to optimise the connection, I used most of the settings show in the video < https://youtu.be/6KVuhK0lkFc
Maybe there something I've changed that doesn't make it work properly

How are the two routers connected? Is the first one connected to (or a combo with) the modem, and then the second router set to wireless bridge mode with the DHCP server disabled?

idle dragon Jun 2, 2023, 9:22 PM

#

2nd router is connected to the 1st one via ethernet

vestal ibex Jun 2, 2023, 9:23 PM

#

Ok, is it in bridge mode?

idle dragon Jun 2, 2023, 9:23 PM

#

It's two separate networks

#

What do you mean by bridge mode?

vestal ibex Jun 2, 2023, 9:23 PM

#

It would bridge the two networks together and the primary one would handle everything related to addressing

#

If you've got two different networks with the same local IP subnet then there's your problem

idle dragon Jun 2, 2023, 9:25 PM

#

Uhmm I still don't get it

#

I know it worked like 2 months ago when I didn't set up the second router

#

But now that I put it back to the 1st one doesn't work anymore

vestal ibex Jun 2, 2023, 9:28 PM

#

Ok. Let's say you've got 2 networks with the same 192.168.1.0-255 local address. A device plugged into router 2 asks "where is 192.168.1.100?" And router 2 responds "I don't know, I'll ask the Internet" which means the request gets sent to router 1. Router 1 says "192.168.1.100 is here, I have it." And sends that info back to router 2 and the requesting device. It appears to function normally.

#

Now flip it. The requesting device is on router 1.

#

"Where is 192.168.1.100?"
Router 1 responds "I don't know, and neither does the Internet. Connection not possible." Even though 192.168.1.100 is attached to router 2.

#

It's also possible to double assign an address like this causing further problems.

#

"Where is 192.168.1.100?"
"It's local, I have it. Here they are."
Device responds "wtf is this I wasn't expecting that connection" and kills the process.

idle dragon Jun 2, 2023, 9:33 PM

#

Okey I kind of got that, but then why do all the other devices work fine, doesn't matter if they're connected to router 1 or 2

vestal ibex Jun 2, 2023, 9:35 PM

#

Without seeing a network map including devices and their assigned DHCP and static addresses I couldn't tell you specifically why. It would be a bad idea sharing that too lol.

#

Setting router 2 to wireless bridge mode will probably fix everything.

idle dragon Jun 2, 2023, 9:35 PM

#

As far as I don't share my public IP it should be fine

idle dragon Jun 2, 2023, 9:38 PM

#

vestal ibex Setting router 2 to wireless bridge mode will probably fix everything.

I had already tried that when I set it up but my main one doesn't support this function + they don't work too well together because they're complete different routers

vestal ibex Jun 2, 2023, 9:38 PM

#

Alternatively if you can't set bridge mode for whatever reason, make the routers different network subnets. E.G. 192.168.1.0 /24 and 192.168.2.0 /24

#

That'll avoid the routers getting confused. And disable the firewall on router 2.

idle dragon Jun 2, 2023, 9:39 PM

#

How do I do those two things? :)

vestal ibex Jun 2, 2023, 9:40 PM

What model is router 2

idle dragon Jun 2, 2023, 9:40 PM

Fritzbox 7530

#

If I remember correctly

#

Tomorrow I'll try to solve some other way first because I know they used to work no problem when I moved the pc from one router to the other

#

Then if I can't get it to work I'll just do what you said

#

My first router-modem allows me to set up some stuff relative to DHCP, should I check it out?

I find it hilarious that this thing advertises 300Mb DSL, which doesn't exist

idle dragon Jun 2, 2023, 9:51 PM

I could also go with a dynamic io because all of my devices never get a new one assigned

idle dragon Jun 2, 2023, 9:52 PM

#

vestal ibex I find it hilarious that this thing advertises 300Mb DSL, which doesn't exist

I think it does exist
Or maybe I'm wrong

vestal ibex Jun 2, 2023, 9:53 PM

#

It might exist technically speaking but it requires you to rewire all the telephone lines in the house and the poles to the ISP

#

If you don't do that you're probably limited to 3Mb or 6Mb

#

It's also very short range

#

You need to be within 1KM of the terminal to get 100Mb

idle dragon Jun 2, 2023, 9:55 PM

#

Oh
But I guess it could be limited to 300mbps on the dsl port, the rest goes up to 1gbps (like when you hook it up to another router)

vestal ibex Jun 2, 2023, 9:56 PM

#

Yeah it can "technically" do 300 on the phone modem DSL port but only when connected short range to other devices that also support it

#

Gigabit ports for ethernet would be how most people use it

vestal ibex Jun 3, 2023, 10:18 PM

I know in my case that was the fault of the very nature of wireless connections. I used the t-mobile home internet and I couldn't keep a stable connection because once in a while ping would spike so high I would disconnect.

Ethernet cable is fine tho

Perfectly working condition and plugged into the right area

Router also fine

#

Everything outside of the pc is fine

#

It’s the pc itself disconnecting from the internet randomly while I’m running games or applications

Then I have to either troubleshoot it to fix it or it makes me do a full reboot to reconnect again

And yk when u in the middle of a game that’s a major issue

It's one of 3 things then probably. The cable, the ports (both pc and router), or a bad ethernet adapter entirely which you usually have to get a new motherboard to fix, with a warranty replacement, or exchange where you bought it if you're within 30 days of purchase.
