like thats not leaving any room in case anything takes a bit more power
silent shuttle
power supply is not enough
cinder mauve
well it does not blue screen during games it dos it randomly
silent shuttle
power supply
rocky cedar
random thing can suddenly pull more power than it can supply
its prob like OCP doing its job
rocky cedar

I have a g3 which has bad ocp
but like
I'm not that close to reaching that point

Your bsods are video scheduler and gpu related. OS is losing the video device..... Either you have a bad gpu or your power supply is too small. Power supply is too small......
opal kernel
installed a 750W 80+ gold today
problem still persists
gpu is completely new and nothing to do with it
rocky cedar
what problem
opal kernel
video scheduler internal error
also the fact that my RTX 2060 is running this on idle
i have been able to do nothing for a whole week due to this issue with video scheduler internal error BSOD
the best i can do is youtube
and even then my pc likes to just die
strong surge
What is the exact BSOD STOP code?
opal kernel
the stop code on the screen when it goes BSOD is just as i said no code at all
strong surge
Check Event Viewer?
opal kernel
the usual error in the critical ward is error 41 kurnal power
strong surge
Well, that just means a reboot without cleanly shutting down
There has to be something else in there that causes the error
opal kernel
well the only other warnings are from
strong surge
DDu the nVidia drivers and install cleanly again

Is jt possible to update my windows 10 i i did not bought a key but it is registered
strong surge
Activated you mean?
fallen jewel
Yeah
strong surge
SHould be able to update if it's activated
fallen jewel
I did not bought a key
Its weird to explain
I have all the options of an activated os but i never actually activated it but it says actovated
Do you guys understand what im saying
fringe shard
Are you on a fresh install of Windows?
fallen jewel
What does that mean? @fringe shard
fringe shard
Meaning you just recently installed Windows.
fringe shard
Did you use an activator of some sort, if you didn't buy a key?
fallen jewel
I just typed in google windows 10 pro activation key and there were some random codes and it worked
fringe shard
Oh alright. Yeah as long as Windows shows it's activated, you can update it.
strong surge
no
fringe shard
1909 is the latest
strong surge
should be 1909
fallen jewel
So where can i update it
fallen jewel
Ok thank you guys
fringe shard
No problem

hey
who can help me with the update in a private voice chat
i need to know how can i check my windows version

the yellow color only identifies that i am willing to answer questions
it does nothing in terms of granting powers or anything like that
peak moss
i figured lol
silent shuttle
i think it makes people think they should listen to us sometimes
because that has happened
it also means people think your opinion is good which is hilarious with me, ms. terrible cable management
i'm good at telling people stuff i've seen people smarter than me say
smoky pagoda
just means your a boneified techie
peak moss
iunno people tend to listen to me but i usually try to point people towards bekora when i can cause hes been the most helpful person to me so far
silent shuttle
Bekora has a lot of good info
peak moss
true. i tend to trust techies more than regulars
smoky pagoda
anyone can be a techie, we have people who catch our attention
it's not just knowing everything tech, it's also how they communicate.
silent shuttle
i basically leave the VRM discussion to other people because it is a huge amount of information to have and it's not all in my brain yet
peak moss
ok so what does a mod have over mod trainee
silent shuttle
except GET THE TOMAHAWK B450 MAX IT'S A GOOD BOARD
peak moss
honestly ive learned a ton more than i did in the last week being on here lol
smoky pagoda
only thing mod trainees can do is delete messages, and kick.
peak moss
so i love this group so far
silent shuttle
or GET THE ASUS PRIME P ITS CHEAP AND GOOD
smoky pagoda
that's great deafkid π
smoky pagoda
pretty much what we are striving for.
silent shuttle
because it's stuff i wouldn't have thought about before
peak moss
ive never been an intel fanboy but im glad amd is becoming more powerful per buck lol
smoky pagoda
I've always been amd bond because price
peak moss
exactly.
smoky pagoda
always wanted intel, but was always out of my price range
so now the roles are almost flipped, and it's glorious
peak moss
only time i go intel is in prebuilt machines
silent shuttle
like I know my board right now has π© VRMs and that's probably why my CPU is getting so hot when OCing
peak moss
idk what a VRM is tho
smoky pagoda
probably airflow, and cooling with that Anni
silent shuttle
VRMs are voltage regulators that regulate the voltage
peak moss
ah
silent shuttle
they get hot
peak moss
so why do you overclock your cpu then
you have a 2700, i have a 2600, it handles everything fine at stock, theoretically yours should be better stock, why oc
silent shuttle
also box it's probably the fact that my stupid fan won't orient itself in a straight line with my case fans
it only goes vertical, i need horizontal and for the fan to suck up the cool air coming in from the frontal fans
another frontal fan may help
peak moss
do you have top fan mounts?
smoky pagoda
yeah you have that weird cooler, and small case.
silent shuttle
yes, but i'm reserving those for an eventual AIO
smoky pagoda
time to upgrade π
silent shuttle
nonsense i just bought this stuff
peak moss
well put an exhaust fan there for now
smoky pagoda
lol π
peak moss
when you get an AIO you wont need that cooler anymore lol
silent shuttle
i think i just want to save it for the AIO, the overclocking that is
can get one with a 240mm rad and it should be good
smoky pagoda
no need for it
peak moss
is it rbg
smoky pagoda
its extra pretty much, and no
peak moss
i wanna get an rgb aio lol
silent shuttle
i have a friend who uses a 120mm AIO to cool his phenom II X6 because he's in the dark ages
peak moss
but im not ocing at all most likely. if i do it will be barely any
smoky pagoda
it gets super cold
silent shuttle
8520?
peak moss
dont wanna destroy my cpu
peak moss
my ear is itchy and i cant scratch it D:<
silent shuttle
yeah that makes more sense
smoky pagoda
sorry I always forget what it is lol
silent shuttle
8320 is an actual thing
smoky pagoda
it might be that one

@normal citrus remind me what you gifted box jr
for the 10th times
(this happens a lot)
I need to sticky note it haha
but it get stupid cold, like 8c
silent shuttle
i had an FX-8350 and FX-6350
smoky pagoda
yeah I had the 6100, and the phenom2 x6
ended up gifting them to someone who probably didn't deserve it
silent shuttle
it's when you get into the big bad FX-8350/FX-8370 that you end up finally overtaking the phenoms
peak moss
are you still talking about cpus
silent shuttle
yes CPUs are fun
peak moss
idk cpus that well xD i used to know intel better and now i know the ryzens and thats about it ._.
silent shuttle
R7 2700 is a fun CPU, it makes my games run better than they did before
peak moss
well i went from an a8-6600k to a r5 2600 and holy balls does that make a huge diff
like i went from 20gb of ram, down to 8, r5 2600, gained a ton of fps lol
but now i need a new gpu xD

that's a bit much, he's only 5 lol
silent shuttle
i thought it was a pet project of sorts
smoky pagoda
oh nah lol
silent shuttle
i was wrong i guess, lol

when i install windows will i be able to see my m.2 from the windows installer
cinder mauve
if i see it in the bios it should install to the drive
but i will find out after thursday
tepid silo
You might not see it in bios(uefi) before the drivers load from your installation image. Win10 in-house NVME drivers usually work without trouble.
cinder mauve
im going to use the m.2 as a boot drive
tepid silo
Good choice.
peak moss
@distant stratus ok so just to be clear, you're using the network adapter built into the mobo, and dont have any other network adapters installed correct?
distant stratus
Correct all I've done so far to connect to internet is use ethernet to connect router to my pc
peak moss
and that worked before but just randomly stopped?
didnt do anything fancy to cause it?
distant stratus
Yeah randomly stopped working yesterday and never before had a problem
peak moss
alright in the network settings (last box you were in) go down to network reset and follow that
distant stratus
What the hell I swear it just started working again
peak moss
...
distant stratus
I hit disable and enable but it didnt turn right back on
peak moss
we did it 
distant stratus
U deserve a salary lol
peak moss
woo
tell newegg that ill take a job doing this
i mean i didnt really do anything yet but ill still take it xD
peak moss
lol i find computers fun
distant stratus
I do too it's just so much I gotta learn
peak moss
frustrating as all heck, but fun.
distant stratus
Trueee
peak moss
tbf i didnt know nearly as much 2 weeks ago when i joined.
like i was competent but not knowledgable
this group is great for learning
also ive had a hell of a lot of problems that ive learned a lot of basic troubleshooting skills
distant stratus
Yeah I'm gonna keep my eye on these chats and keep picking up tips lol
peak moss
but for me it usually involves having other pc components to replace and test which a lot of people dont have. so like i cant test for a dead cpu or mobo without having another of the same cpu or mobo socket lol
i have no idea how to do that
i can narrow down an issue to between those and psu tho xD
distant stratus
Yeah I'm building my gf a pc getting parts at a time so soon I'll have spare
peak moss
so iunno what went wrong but id try to update your network drivers while you have internet just in case
it sounds like a driver had a weird issue
distant stratus
Ok in in there
peak moss
when you open network adapter
first of all is there a new driver that wasnt there before
tepid silo
I like to recommend running a userbenchmark and posting the link as the first troubleshooting go-to step - often easy to narrow down issues fomr there
peak moss
ok all you do is right click, go to properties, then driver, update driver, search automatically for new driver
but for each of the things
which can be tedious
tepid silo
No - just the realtek
distant stratus
Says best drivers are already installed
tepid silo
Even then, I'd instead just search realtek's site for the most recent version
peak moss
yeah i just skipped over the controller lol
i thought it just wasnt there and was like huh. weird
distant stratus
So the realtek option is my lan driver?
peak moss
yeh
tepid silo
Have you linked your parts list?
peak moss
the ethernet controller
distant stratus
How do I do that @tepid silo
tepid silo
Userbenchmark will do it in about 3 mins
distant stratus
Ok I'll download real quick
tepid silo
Speccy , hwinfo64, aida64 all work - but userbench is easy click click paste
distant stratus
Not something to download?
tepid silo
The previous 3 are tricky to share non-sensitive user info with.
peak moss
isnt speccy bad or is that just for temps
distant stratus
Ohh ok
tepid silo
I never recommend speccy, hwmonitor, or any mothreborad software
distant stratus
It's running rn
tepid silo
I use coretemp for lightweight client use case - bench OC, hwbot etc - hwinfo64 for a full readout, aida64 for both kinda
peak moss
okay
thanks for chiming in btw cause i was just gunna have him update all the things lol
btw is there a tool that just auto checks for updates on all drivers
distant stratus
Do u guys know much about cpus? I'm not sure to upgrade to ryzen 7 2700x or ryzen 5 3600
tepid silo
I would not recommend such a tool - tbh - "make sure your drivers are all updated" is more of a recommendation when something isn't working as is
Or security patches, performance optimization etc -
strong surge
- Extra $10 is worth it
distant stratus
peak moss
i mean the only time i update drivers is when something doesnt work properly but when i do i tend to update all my drivers just in case lol
distant stratus
So 7nm is better than 2 extra cores?
That test says my ram is running at 2.9ghz and its rated at 3200
tepid silo
TL;DR -
site:reddit.com intel lan driver - add &tbs=qdr:m to the end of the url
peak moss
huh
tepid silo
So, quick TL;DR - I like userbench because it shows me every component, the bios revision, what driver each is running at,
From experience I can make a decent guess to the cause of an underperformer -
e.g. - high single core score but meh multi core cpu can mean throttling, either temp or rarely power
strong surge
The 3600, despite having less cores, has better IPC which gives it the edge
tepid silo
I can see if they're running 2 sticks single channel, xmp on, off, other - great diagnostic tool that gets undeserved hate imo
3600 ryzen 5 is a beast - get that
If on a budget, snag a 2700x for 140 on sale
peak moss
well now i feel bad for getting the 2600 lol
distant stratus
yeah i have 2600 atm but want to upgrade for more stable fps while streaming
peak moss
i bought it like 3 weeks ago π
tepid silo
And that was all constructive criticism/input
peak moss
but i also got it for 90 bucks
distant stratus
and im running dual channel but i was mistaken i actually have 3000 sticks
tepid silo
That's a good deal tbh - far from overpriced
peak moss
correct me if im wrong, but it says his ram is currently clocked at 1400mhzish
distant stratus
yeah i bought my 2600 in april and paid 180 with tax included
peak moss
so he could clock it higher in the bios right
distant stratus
everything i bought is 40 to 50 dollars cheapers beside my mobo
peak moss
cause mine was running at 1400 and i clocked it to 3200
distant stratus
yeah wont see much performance improvement
tepid silo
Could just be xmp profile 1 vs 2, regardless - the histogram tells all
I love seeing the bi-modal curves where the left crowd is XMP off
distant stratus
i try and stay out my bios as much as possible lol
peak moss
whiitey you're using stock cooler right
distant stratus
yea stock
peak moss
spatula said something about your cpu running poorlyish possibly due to temps, and iir updating the bios fixes or helps that right @tepid silo ? or am i wrong
as long as you dont oc the stock cooler should be more than sufficient as far as im aware
tepid silo
I was just giving an example of a symptom / cause, not about your usserbench
distant stratus
what is the base clock for the 2600?
im running 3850
its 3.4hz and it only supports up to 2933 mhz thats why my ram is slightly under
anyways ty guys
tepid silo
peak moss
yes i to can understand the context of that page fellow technical person
also i dont see the 2600 on there lol
wait i now have absolutely no idea what that is. statistics for CPUs we are no longer binning?
tepid silo
Read the test conditions - small fft, p95 etc, with aio ish cooler, I just like that they're consistent
SL gets a lot of unwarranted criticism
But not for their fingerpainted-like TIM replacement work
strong surge
Yeah, that must have been before the microcode updates though
tepid silo
The AGESA revisions? eh, idk
strong surge
It made a difference
tepid silo
edit:fixed
I tried most of the early agesa's, power plans etc, it went up and down , much trouble was due to user error
wow I posted the wrong links lol

if i was going to use an antivirus i'd use kaspersky
in my experience it doesn't pop up for things that are typically false positives and that's enough for me
shadow jay
i do have that before seems nice
but i find eset more reliable after 3 years of using kaspersky
cinder mauve
does anyones store live tile work
silent shuttle
i want to disable the windows one but i want a better substitute in its place
it's too bad eset has gone to the monthly or yearly model
i remember in the days of their NOD32 product they were different, you bought it and it was yours
it was also the simplest and most unobtrusive antivirus there was at the time
devout delta
I still use eset myself
silent shuttle
any feedback on false positives?
(i.e. when my windows 10 retail version stopped activating because i changed too much, i wanted to use AutoKMS, because I already bought windows)
devout delta
I haven't really had any issues but I also don't download a lot of stuff outside of video games and programs from official sites. Occasionally it complains about a gleam giveaway referral link being suspicious
silent shuttle
gleam giveaway links are suspicious though
devout delta
some of them definitely are

silent shuttle

shadow jay
yup
vivid temple
(i.e. when my windows 10 retail version stopped activating because i changed too much, i wanted to use AutoKMS, because I already bought windows) @silent shuttle , IF you have an actual retail version and not a oem version. then there is no limit
silent shuttle
maybe microsoft gave me an OEM version instead? the initial upgrade version worked on a number of boards for me before it petered out
so it doesn't seem like OEM, because that's supposed to fail after one motherboard
i've got an OEM key i won from a small contest at this point
win10pro , and i suspect it should be fine with hardware changes provided i don't change out the motherboard
which i don't intend to for some time
maybe @smoky pagoda is here to answer if I can put the site for that contest in #links-and-selfpromotion
the whole thing is you win by guessing the numbers, trying it, and having it work (there are two numbers missing)
shadow jay
hmm
whenever u install keys bind it to your microsoft
it supposed to say "Digital License Linked to your microsoft"
vivid temple
@silent shuttle have you tried calling them about the key that doesnt activate?
shadow jay
and that you can unli reinstall asson as you login again.. a hardware change warning popups and click continue
then this popup next

i did but they just told me i couldn't activate it anymore basically

Because most games run on windows

typically games are made to run on Windows

wraith timber
you could dual boot, or run it on a secondary machine
since you have to buy a Windows license to have a licensed copy of Windows for each computer

Linux really is better than windows in every way except for one thing

Does anyone here know if theres a way to install windows 10 without having to pay for it and then getting a activation code
I'm almost done with my pc build and need a cheap way to get windows 10 installed
Without having to pay $140 for a USB Operating system
kind lily
use a usb drive that is at least 8 gb space on it and go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 and select download tool now
then you can get the activation key when you can find one or afford one

ones on ebay are not always good but they do have them try going to gvgmall.com for them they are decent place to buy them at

yeah but you have a higher chance of getting a oem key that will expire

tbh a key isnt really needed to buy
i usually put the drive in one of those old workstations where the key is already installed in the mobo
(workstation needs to be win7 or higher)
and install windows
put original drive back in normal rig
and boom windows activated

So if you already have a device with Windows installed and activated you donβt need to buy a key for another PC ?

are you aware of the doom9 forum?
they are a dedicated encoder/decoder sound/video forum

because when i have had trouble akin to what you are having, (and it hasnt been fixed by a wipe of everything codec related), that is where i go and start poking about

you will most likely have to go in and search for haali or subtitle specific problems

Its kind of late where I am so I didn't want to @ skull lady, but usually when something like that happens its either a windows problem, or the graphics card driver crashed. Force quitting a game can cause amd drivers to freak out sometimes.

its not failing hardware usually, its just the driver crashes without any notifications.

@storm vault I crashed quite frequently when on the new 2020 drivers

ya they are pretty buggy ngl
when I bought my rx 5700 xt it took about a month to get stable drivers

Iβm on the latest 2019 drivers rn. Iβve had far less issues with them. Still crash from time to time but itβs far less. Shame tho cus I really liked the new UI and the features of adrenaline 2020
Iβve only had my 5700XT since December but I love it
Iβm willing to just suck it up and wait for stable drivers

The truth is that the rx 5700 xt is just one of the best midrange graphics cards out there

If I'm looking for Windows OS to put on my computer as cheaply as possible, I believe both of these options would be free for me, but I just want to hear someone else's advise: Should I install the Educational Version of Windows 10? Or should I install the Windows Insider Windows 10?

i dont think insider is free
and educational requires a different kind of license

so I finally built the PC lol. my last question is when I turned it on, it lights up properly and the fans run, but nothing is outputted to the screen, i have tried both the hdmi on the graphics card and the case (since i dont have a displayport yet). any idea if its because Im using HDMI?
vivid temple
check the input selector on the monitor @rough basalt
rough basalt
i think my monitor doesnt like the hdmi to vga adapter, and my tv isnt pickibg it up either. but I am assuming that I shouldnt use these things on initial setup? @vivid temple

the simpler you can make things (when testing if something works) the less of a headache you are likely to end up with

I'm building my MIL a new pc and I'm wondering if her Pentium 4 system would be worth repurposing for anything. I though about just a storage server but I don't thinkg the FSB of that platform will make it even worth the time. Considering raspberry pi's have more computing power than this one does I don't have any good Ideas that this system would serve a purpose. If any of you have any ideas please dm me.

Retro gaming machine with windows xp maybe. I have some games that just dont work on modern OS's and keep an old core 2 quad system for the occasion that I want to play them. otherwise its pretty useless. I still have a socket 775 pentium because I horde computer parts but I honestly don't think that system has been turned on in at least 7 or 8 years. They use too much power to use for anything that would be running 24/7. after a few years of running it would have cost you more in power than if you had just bought a rpi setup or even a cheap NAS to use as a server.

There's like a register online thing
To register with your Microsoft acc
Then choose the activate later while installing
And after logging into Microsoft acc, there should be a way to activate it through the acc
dry pollen
So what happens when you log into your Microsoft account ?
summer bough
logging in through your microsoft account will link your pcs and windows will try and sync all the one drive stuff, any microsoft store apps you have purchased and contacts.
also you can sync background images so all your pc's have the same background

Hi guys, I'm trying to get a 3rd party PS4 controller to work on my pc using Inputmapper but it wont detect it. Then I noticed these error messages
Is my controller bad?
fleet basalt
Probably
real skiff
Too bad. It got such great reviews all over the web and on amazon where I got it. Only cost $18. Guess I have to rma
The construction feels just as high quality as an PS4 controller. I was really impressed when I first picked it up and played with the buttons. The only differences I notice are no mic and audio jack.
fleet basalt
@real skiff if you have a ps4 try to use it on that
real skiff
I don't have one. I've just only used the real ones when I a family member let me borrow their PS4 for a while.
I just game on pc now @fleet basalt
shadow jay
maybe you need to install drivers
or find one tut on youtube about that error
or maybe software fault
dry pollen
A Usb to controller cable should do the job
Doesnβt that work with your controller ?
real skiff
It is a wired controller
And there are no drivers. I checked. The seller, and YouTube videos I've watched said all I need is Inputmapper. Someone mentioned using an Xbox controller driver to trick Windows into thinking it was an xbox controller in one video but that didn't work either
Cause in Inputmapper you have to enable Xbox emulation to get it to work

I bought a 16gb optane drive on newegg a few weeks ago for $16. I think I am going to stick it in my computer as a VM drive for sandbox use. Only thing I could think of to do with it other than maybe using it as a pagefile drive in my one pc that only has 8gb of ram.
should be enough for linux

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, so redirect me if I'm wrong. I want to look into possibly switching to Linux. However, I'm not sure how difficult it'll be to keep gaming on that OS. Does anyone here game on Linux? And if so, how difficult is it?
fleet basalt
I dont @candid juniper, but it has reduced support for games and even keyboards and mice
summer bough
Steam has reasonable compatibility with some games, but not all.
candid juniper
I keep hearing that, and I have games on multiple stores.
candid juniper
I will do that.
vivid temple
@candid juniper https://www.protondb.com/ <- this is what i would highly recommend you start reading up about. because that is currently the easiest way to go about it
candid juniper
@vivid temple thank you.
vivid temple
@candid juniper you are very welcome. Something to keep in mind. (and this is not to scare you away from linux): When you have a problem, 7 out of 10 times, you will be on your own.
candid juniper
I realize that. It's not a definite switch. I'm just contemplating it and searching out opinions on other's experiences.
candid juniper
I've been thinking about embracing the FOSS as much as possible lately.
vivid temple
the challenge (from my pov) is that people have a hard time admitting that they dont understand how much "stuff" windows actually does for them.
the linux switch can be a very rude awakening for them in that regard
and this is not talking about "right/wrong/etc etc"
it is just me looking at the end result (and amount) of people yelling
candid juniper
I'm well aware. My first step will most likely be loading a USB up with a distro and giving it a test drive.
vivid temple
you got a spare ssd?
candid juniper
I have a spare HDD.
vivid temple
hdd is horrible on both windows and linux
candid juniper
7200 rpm
vivid temple
see above :)
candid juniper
Lol. It really makes more of a difference, in my opinion, when loading large chunks of info.
vivid temple
i think you are reading things wrong?
vivid temple
i never said that a HDD was good for anything
and it sounds like, in your response, that you think i did?
candid juniper
That may be my misunderstanding.
vivid temple
just trying to make certain we are looking at it from equal grounds :)
candid juniper
HDD is always going to be inferior to an SSD, but they're not unbearable.
vivid temple
that is only until you start hitting the HDD with more than a few requests at a time
it is very easy to bring a hdd to its knees
candid juniper
This is true. The os itself is on an 500 GB SSD.
vivid temple
yes, meaning that everything the OS does is not touching a hdd, meaning, you will be skewing your comparison when you load linux on a hdd
candid juniper
How much would I need to partition?
vivid temple
i would not recommend you do it on the same drive :)
(for the lurkers, yes, it is "fairly simple", but that is a choice the user has to research on their own, and decide about on their own)
candid juniper
You're right I will have to do some more research.
vivid temple
and please do yourself the favour of asking twice whenever you are in doubt @candid juniper
(gah!, i really need to fix that paste macro)
candid juniper
I will not leap into this blindly. I will do some thorough research of the pluses and minuses to make the right decision for me. Thank you for the input @vivid temple, I really appreciate it.
vivid temple
you are very welcome @candid juniper :)
