#

also what is rufus

soft herald
#

^

small fern
#

Its an iso installer

orchid cliff
#

Rufus is a utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc.

small fern
#

I would skip the third party software and use the microsoft windows installer

soft herald
#

Just look up “download windows 10” and it’s like the dust thing

small fern
#

it is free from their website

soft herald
#

First

orchid cliff
#

i can't

small fern
#

why is that

orchid cliff
#

hard crash

soft herald
#

?

#

How

small fern
#

do you have another pc you could do it on

orchid cliff
#

no my old pc is a win xp

soft herald
#

How does the installer force a crash, is his flash drive no good

small fern
#

should still work

orchid cliff
#

won't even boot the program

#

i tried

soft herald
#

bruh

small fern
#

that's odd

soft herald
#

yea

#

Hmm

#

Might have to take it to someone else’s pc and do it there

#

Or micro center can fix it

#

They always do 🤣

small fern
#

Give me a few minutes to think

orchid cliff
#

like i said a already got win10 on usb, just my motherboard being stupid

small fern
#

I'm just trying to eliminate a variable that could ly in rufus

#

If you are sure its the mobo, reflash your bios

#

probably ur best bet

orchid cliff
#

yeah flashing my bio is what i was thinking

small fern
#

I would try other things first however because you may not have to do that

orchid cliff
#

but i heard my board need to remove all part to flash properly, so i need to keep only the PSU motherboard and maybe the cpu on

small fern
#

Try launching windows in safe mode, see if you get anywhere with that

orchid cliff
#

nope didn't do it i tried

#

i made a new user also, same thing, hard crash

small fern
#

are you using a usb port on the mobo?

orchid cliff
#

yes, i tried all my ports so far lol

small fern
#

all drivers updated?

orchid cliff
#

yes, beside the flash BIOS

small fern
#

I think there is a log somewhere where you can see what is causing the crashes

soft herald
#

@orchid cliff if things don’t get solved soon, then hard reset your pc, have things backed up if u need, and restart. That should flatten things out for ya

orchid cliff
#

it's a dll file from window

small fern
#

Look for that,

orchid cliff
#

i sohuld of took a photo

small fern
#

figure out what specifically is causing the crash

#

for all we know something else like an unstable oc/boost

orchid cliff
#

only thing i oc in my pc are my rams

small fern
#

still, that could certainly cause a crash

#

because the functioning of your cpu is very dependent on the stability of your ram

#

Go into your bios and turn off xmp or any other changes made to the ram

orchid cliff
#

👌

soft herald
#

Reset bios all together just in case

#

Make everything default

small fern
#

I was going to say that

soft herald
#

what’s your psu?

#

Cpu gpu too^

small fern
#

Let's just do one thing at a time, I also want him to check the crash logs

#

but once you reset bios settings and check crash logs, a spec list would be helpful

orchid cliff
#

this is what i get went i try to boot up mediacreationtool20H2 or Windows10Upgrade9252

small fern
#

From what I'm reading the most likely culprit is drivers

#

Your pc is crashing from errors 10111 and 10110 which typically come as a pair.

#

First things first go through your device manager and confirm that EVERY single driver is updated. Skip nothing.

#

I know this is tedious but it is a necessary troubleshooting step

orchid cliff
#

i see one outdated

small fern
#

Just verify and update them all

orchid cliff
#

👌

small fern
#

This usually takes me a sold 10 minutes but depending on internet connection and how many drivers you have, this could take more or less time

orchid cliff
#

alrighty, i'll go eat and be back later then

small fern
orchid cliff
#

I already updated the chipset 2 days ago, i figured the other driver weren't that useful for my problem, i'll get the sata/ audio and lan drivers

#

seem that everything else was already up to date

#

only drive that is not up to date is this one, seem it doesn't want to update also

📎 GV7Vh1.png
small fern
#

It just won't update?

#

that's odd

#

that driver isn't important right now however so we can move on to updating the bios

orchid cliff
#

oh jeez the hard part then, since i got to unplug everything i got has a cheap flash usb somewhere for that

#

guess i'll do the clean up and install my new PSU at the same time too

small fern
#

Before you do this

#

send a spec list of your pc

#

cpu, gpu(s), mobo, psu, ram, ssd(s), hdd(s)

orchid cliff
#

new psu will be a 650w bronze 80 plus from cooler master

small fern
#

What is the current one

orchid cliff
#

an extremely old 750 watt from 9 years ago

small fern
#

yikes

#

that could be the problem alone

orchid cliff
#

I rant out of money xD

small fern
#

go swap that in and see if anything changes

#

don't update bios yet bc an unstable psu can do ANYTHING

orchid cliff
#

got it

#

welp i'll be back in a hour or so

small fern
#

ok, just @ me when you are back so I see it, I will be in class

orchid cliff

My early tests of store me have been promising DOOM Eternal took 20 secs the first launch off hdd then 8 seconds for the second launch then 5 on the third

soft herald
#

Ik I was helping earlier

#

But now I need help

#

Windows screwed my pc

#

Can anyone help me?

small fern
#

what happened

soft herald
#

I updates to windows 20h2 last night, from 1906, and today my pc after 5 mins of use lags everywhere, my mouse, headset volume, in game. Everything lags. And I restarted after and I got an infinite restarting screen then I bsod. Then it got a little better, where I went an hour before it happened again. Then I restored windows back to version 2004 and it’s still happening. Idk what to do

#

My pc is hardly usable when it’s lagging like it is

small fern
#

I read about this when I was reading about the error codes broodlapin got

#

Go look at your crash logs

soft herald
#

How do I do that?

small fern
#

I can help later but im in class rn

#

ask him how

#

srry

soft herald
#

I will once I boot back up

#

It’s ok I’ll look it up real quick

#

@small fern im in my crash logs rn

small fern
#

I can't help rn, busy in pre-calc

#

srry

soft herald
#

oh youre good

#

have funKEKW

lapis sluice
#

might be a dumb question but how do i move windows from my harddrive to my ssd

strong coyote
lapis sluice
#

do u know any other ways?

strong coyote
#

Think you can create a restore point, fresh install windows on you SSD and restore using the previously created restore point. I never tried it though, see if you can find any articles you can follow.

Need help with raid 0 please. Followed video tutorial have raid all setup in my BIOS, bios recognizes them as being in raid mode, when I go to install windows I downloaded the raid drivers from AMD into windows and windows still does not recognize them as being a raid drive. It has a message at bottom about this disk has a MBR partition table, and windows can only be installed to GPT disks

runic geyser
#

you reformat the disk as gpt then

#

@fluid solstice

fluid solstice
#

@runic geyser what is the best way to do that if I may ask? From bios? Or?? Windows has a format button there during setup but it won't let me click on it

runic geyser
#

windows installer has the ability to format disks

fluid solstice
#

I sent you a pic @runic geyser it won't let me click on the format button for either drive

#

Won't let me post a pic in here

runic geyser
#

u gotta click delete

#

then once its unallocated

#

just install

#

:))

#

you say you did raid 0?

#

2 512gb drives?

fluid solstice
#

Thank you so much @runic geyser yes raid zero 2 samsung 980 pros brand new,

#

500gbs

#

Each

runic geyser
#

ok so if thats the case

#

we did something wrong setting it up in bios

#

super quick warning abt raid 0 as well: it is fast, but it means you also have twice the failure rate in your case. One drive fails, both go out. Be sure to back up your system if it has anything important on it

#

or if you plan to put anything important on it

fluid solstice
#

I followed a tutorial and did everything he did in asus BIOS, and bios shows them as a 1tb raid drive

runic geyser
#

can i see what you did in bios?

fluid solstice
#

Yes I'll send you some pics

runic geyser
#

might take me a little bit to understand, not used to working with consumer bios lol theyre so fancy

#

kk

#

most of my experience with raid is on dell cards lmao

minor sequoia
#

anyone have any idea what to do about windows audio device graph isolation taking up like 50% cpu randomly

#

ittl be fine for a long tume then BAM its eating up my cpu

#

restarting seems to fix it but i need something long term. ive tried updating drivers and disabling enhancments but no luck

bright sleet
#

So i recently built my pc around 2 weeks ago and I've been having constant trouble with it. We managed to fix one BSOD but there's one that keeps popping recently (Irql not less or equal) I have no idea what to do anymore and I've given up at this point. This is the first time I've built one and i'm new to this sort of stuff, if anybody can help

small fern

Anyone know how to fix dpc watchdog violation? I try many solution, but litually no luck...I'm thinking if its my WD red not being build that way, thats why it causing this issue. anyone able to help me out?

#

oh yea the issue only comes up when downloading somethin

hoary nacelle
#

lol nice

#

@cinder mauve i got 2 questions real quick if u have a minute

#

it hasnt been a huge issue since i dont use it that much

#

but

#

lol good timing

#

when i boot straight to bspwm it doesnt connect to the internet, ive been just going to gnome first and then logging out and going back to bspwm

#

i tried iwctl in terminal... but it just stals at "waiting for iwd to start"

#

yeah

#

i figured it was taking over and not allowing iwd to start

#

like it has priority over it or something

#

oh

#

duh

#

god i feel dumb

#

LOL

#

yeah, idk why it doesnt auto start when i run "iwctl"

#

it would be nice if it asked "iwd is not started, would you like to start?"

#

o

#

ah

#

yeah

#

can i set iwd to start at boot?

#

oooohhhhhhh

#

ok

#

that makes sense

#

alright lol... last question

#

arch uses my motherboard wifi, i want it to use my dedicated wifi card (this might not work because i know linux is picky with compatible network adapters)

#

ah

#

makes sense

#

hold on gimme a second

#

im in windows right now lol

#

when i do iwctl get-devices (or something i forgot) it only lists wlan0 iirc

#

but ill double check

#

welp, now im stuck here

#

:)

#

i havent even touched linux why is it broken

#

ugh

#

hold on i had a meme for this lol

#

something about arch users breaking wayland 3x a day

#

yup

#

its the display manager

#

im logged in with virtual terminal

#

its active

#

oh yeah

#

session never registered

#

im logged in as root right now

#

might as well pacman -syu while i wait

#

lol

#

(ill look it up too)

#

hold on i gotta connect to the internet first

#

i know how to do this now thanks to you lol

#

but yeah

#

only station that shows is wlan0

#

nope

#

broadcom

#

i think

#

because the other one would be intel

#

welp

#

its broadcom

#

LOL

#

yeah

#

i have intel wifi on my motherboard

#

but moving the antennas around is a pain

#

also my dedicated wifi card is just faster

#

like

#

a lot faster

#

im talking 30mbps vs 200

#

yeah

#

mostly because motherboard included antennas are trash

#

should i try brcm80211 or b43 do you think

#

alright

#

the packaging my wifi card came in looked like it could be from 2007

#

aghh the arch wiki is confusing me

#

makes sense

#

i did dmesg | grep b43, and there is output

#

but it says error u supported phy

#

yeah

#

i think im missing the aur package

#

im gonna start there

#

brb

#

@cinder mauve iwd refuses to connect me to internet 😐

#

i even checked the password on my router

#

uhh

#

idk

#

when i do station wlan0 scan it says "operation not supported"

#

im gonna restart iwd

#

yeah

#

god its annoying me

#

i restarted iwd it works now

#

as in

#

i can scan

#

but it wont connect still

#

i can get to the part where it asks for password

#

and nothing works

#

it says operation failed

#

no matter what

#

its active

#

oh

#

i think its because the gnome thing is running

#

i probably should have checked that

#

ok @cinder mauve, i disabled NetworkManager (the gnome one) and now it connects

#

but ping google.com says temporary failure in name resolution

#

aaaaaaa

#

ill install it

#

aaaand now i cant use pacman -S dhcpcd because i dont have dhcpcd

#

wooooo

#

oh lol i was just gonna use networkmanager to connect and install dhcpcd and then switch back to iwd

#

IT WORKS!

#

finally

#

now i can start installing broadcom stuff

#

btw does yum just handle all the stuff for me

#

instead of doing git clone stuff

#

how does it work

#

yum -S package-name?

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

i have been too lol

#

i have an assignment due in 20 minutes but i just did pacman -Syu

#

so now we wait

#

Needed help guys
My pc goes into automatic repair when booted and then it says stopcode error:bad config info
Also when I try to troubleshoot from command prompt it can't find the files in my registry backup folder

#

Nope

#

Ya😅

vivid temple
#

they most likely disabled it

#

I ended up buying an OEM product key

quasi timber
#

I mean at this point I'm considering buying another drive and installing windows on that
And using this as a slave

#

Just so j get my data

#

I'm 16 btw

#

No actually

#

There was a restore point

#

But it just ended up in an error

#

When I tried using it

#

And I tried like 6 times

#

So I assumed it was a dud

vivid temple
#

so, which other parts of what you have said "yes" to, are also wrong?

quasi timber
vivid temple
#

its a question. About accuracy

quasi timber
#

It's not really that important actually but I would prefer to keep it

#

How do I do that

#

Apart from the corrupted one?

#

Ya ya

#

Ohkk

#

I didn't think of that

#

Ya should be

#

Linux?

#

Mac os?

#

Okay??

#

But ik how command prompt works

#

In window

#

So that shouldn't be a problem

#

Ya

#

Thanks man

#

But help

#

big*

#

Thanks 👍

hoary nacelle
#

^

#

the windows install usb can get you access to a command prompt

#

also @cinder mauve i did a full system update... still getting the error with gdm

#

😩

#

i gotta do some homework real quick but ill get back to it in a bit

#

also sorry i keep pinging you lol

hoary nacelle
#

@cinder mauve so when i run startx it tells me no displays found

#

however when i run lspci | grep VGA it outputs my gpu correctly

hoary nacelle
#

I FIXED IT WOOOOO

#

i literally just ran the nvidia install driver script again

#

and it worked 😐

hoary nacelle
#

also b43 will not work with my wifi card.

hoary nacelle
#

yeah, im trying the kernel module right now

#

speaking of which, brb gotta restart

#

it worked

#

kernel modules

#

wait... it says theyre both connected

#

should i disconnect the intel one?

#

i did station wlan0 disconnect

#

aaaaaand no wifi

#

even though wlan1 still connected

#

hmmm

tepid silo
hoary nacelle
#

msi put intel virtualization and VT-d under overclocking settings

#

thanks, msi

#

@cinder mauve any idea why virt-manager is saying QEMU/KVM not connected?

#

nvm, fixed it

#

the solution i found wasnt the top result on google. how dare they.

hoary nacelle
#

yea

#

i just went to my bios to re enable my igpu

#

so i can pass it through to qemu

#

however it does not work

#

its complaining how i cant pass through host devices

#

oh god

#

you have any idea where i can get started 😅

#

if it works well, my ideal setup would be igpu for arch, 1070 for windows guest

#

and if all works well with the VM (including VR) it might be possible for me to switch to arch fulltime

#

oh so i bet oculus would be even harder 🙂

#

oh

#

well

#

uh

#

that would complicate things yes

#

LOL

#

vr within linux within qemu/kvm virtual machine

#

i wouldnt expect there to be many guides lol

hoary nacelle
#

@cinder mauve alright so i followed the entire tutorial

#

and the vm runs

#

well

#

i didnt finish lol

#

i assume since its using my igpu i plug in my monitor to the motherboard?

#

it outputs nothing

#

:(

#

that sounds like an easy and quick solution and im going to try it

#

brb

#

yea

#

i dont think it works

#

it does say graphical console not configured for guest, i assume thats normal

#

to the best of my knowledge there was only one

#

SOG?

#

oh

#

i think so?

#

what step was that

#

i watched the entire video

#

oh are you talking about the part where you enable VT-d in bios?

hoary nacelle
hoary nacelle
#

yeah, i heard about that

hoary nacelle
#

i wish i could give all my teachers a quick google docs tutorial

#

i have

#

0 clue

#

how they did this without a table and still managed to have it light up perfectly

📎 unknown.png
#

but all they have to do to make it 10x easier for students to type in is make a table

#

with boxes

#

it makes it easier for them to format the document too

#

god i wonder how many times teachers just mash their spacebars to space things out like this

weary vigil
#

Okay so, my motherboard just says "selected file is not a proper Bios!" when i try to update the bios, even though it is indeed from the manufacturer's website. What should i do?

Msi afterburner osd I cant get to display on cyberpunk 2077 anyone else have issues or fixes? I have same setup for it on mass effect andromeda which didnt work at 1st and works

Same here lol

hoary nacelle
#

i can sort of understand the whole aux cable thing, my teachers are used to having docking stations for their laptops that theyre probably told connects everything when they put it in it

#

but as for google docs

#

its a word processor

#

😐

#

you would think by now with how many worksheets and assignments they have to make for all their years of teaching

#

to begin with all his chrome extensions are showing

#

and yes

#

thats the main point

#

because we are online because covid, and the school issued chromebooks, we have to work with the bare minimum to make sure all students can work with it

#

so its not completely his fault

#

but still

#

the web ide is SLOW

#

and you can tell he tried to zoom in to make it more visible on screenshare

#

but look how much screen real estate he lost

#

no :/

#

i should tell him

#

the actual working space is like half of the screen

#

if only those consoles closed unless he was running something

#

never heard of schoology

#

we use google classroom

#

oh god

#

that sounds horrible

#

we have that too

#

i do all my school work in incognito tabs because one of my friends logged into chrome with their google acc on their personal laptop and theyve had the school filters on it since

#

probably an easy fix

#

but

#

i dont wanna risk having the school see EVERYTHING i look up

#

mostly because im too lazy to check what google acc im logged into

#

vm would be too inconvenient for me

#

since i often use photoshop, word, and acrobat for my assignments

vivid temple
#

seperate account is a thing (at the OS level) @hoary nacelle

hoary nacelle
#

yea we woulda fixed it

is funmark good for cpu burning?

rocky cedar
#

no

#

Furmark is for GPU

gaunt spade
#

@cinder mauve actually, when you download it from geeks.com you get a cpu burner as well

#

and some software to know your exact specs

tepid silo
#

Technically the gpu stress test is also a cpu burner if the whole pc catches fire

cinder mauve
#

So if I launch 10 cpus burners I can burn my cpu?

oh lmao

am i gonna get permabanned for asking? XD

runic geyser
#

lmao i think its just discouraged here

shell heron
#

lol you can say ebay

#

@hard rock you can get them for around $8-15 just pick a seller with good ratings

#

also if you find someone with an old windows 7 pc/laptop they dont need grab the key you can use it

runic geyser
#

lmao kk

#

didnt want to go to newegg jail

i believe i used to ask about the grey market in this server and never got banned

#

Any body can help?

gaunt spade
#

cloud jolt
#

when i buy my pc do i need to buy that 140$ windows 10 pro or is there a way of getting it cheaper ?

plucky ocean
#

Yeah, just buy a used key.

gaunt spade
#

@cloud jolt there are ways to do it for free

#

newegg officially hates mac users

#

it wont work on safari

gaunt spade
#

all of it

#

to be fair I am on old safari

#

it works for a sec but just goes white

#

eeh IDK I just thought it was a funny

#

probably because I am on an old mac

#

2009

#

no i am on high searra

#

it works on chrome

hoary nacelle
#

high sierra isnt too old

#

last version of macos that nvidia had drivers for

#

it is also the version i have set up for hackintosh on my computer

#

@cinder mauve how can u use a tabless browser wtf

vivid temple
#

@runic geyser you are showing your age :)

#

browser without tabs is not that long ago :)

runic geyser
#

@vivid temple i know but why go back

vivid temple
#

because sometimes keeping it simple is the sane thing to do.

runic geyser
#

i guess so lol

#

id at least want ublock support tho

vivid temple
#

i would HAPPILY give up tabbed browser if i could get the internet from back then, in regards to things like ads

runic geyser
#

oh 100000%

#

but that isnt happening

#

so id prefer a more functional browser

vivid temple
#

you generally dont "get" anything from that functionality

last gorge
#

would stop me from getting off track and continuously opening youtube just to close it again without watching anything

vivid temple
#

oh, woopti doo, your browser can mow the lawn!

#

but it is being used for facebook browsing

#

so .. yeah :)

#

and no, its not anything personally against you @runic geyser :)

runic geyser
#

lmao naed

vivid temple
#

i am just not a fan of "features for the sake of features" design

runic geyser
#

just stuff like adblock, blocking trackers, tab containers, and an alright download manager

#

just "sane" features

#

not like that opera garbage

#

true lmao

#

but

#

havent found a single thing that beats ublock

#

so ill take bloat in order to get it

vivid temple
#

a tight enough hosts file

#

is that inconvenient to maintain? very much so

#

is it VERY efficient? very much so

#

aye

runic geyser
#

@vivid temple doesnt fix up the formatting though

#

just leaves weird empty boxes where the ads used to be

#

i use nosript

#

cut it also breaks some sites

#

i like knowing ublock doesnt break anything

#

tru

#

bromite here

#

📠

#

lmao days?

#

lol

#

now i wanna throw a compile at one of my babies

#

nyoom

#

time to gentoo compile on my 1gb ram 1 core vm

#

rgb software is so inconsistent

#

sry for interrupting, just wanted to point that out lol

#

honestly thats the move

runic geyser
#

driverless rgb is where its at

#

and @cinder mauve no, ill check on it in a month

#

see how its doin

#

i have the uptime

#

i had 2 year uptime on all my babies before i moved

#

now theyre all on a few days

#

cause i rebooted and cleaned and replaced some ram

#

lmao

#

ups?

#

theyre not bad price wise

#

like $100 or so

#

wdym lol

#

h u h

last gorge
#

sad my pc only running for ~70days

runic geyser
#

any oc?

#

yeah ghosty to be fair i dont run desktops

#

my desktops reboot at 7 am every day

#

hmmmm

#

lol maybe bad cpu?

#

or some random bios issue

#

id go yell at amd and see if theyll replace

#

weird

last gorge
#

my desktop i shut down whenever there is problem so like once a week or so, i have mac that i just let sit and run and that running 70days now, earlier this year made me nervous we had power go out and back on 7 times in 30 minutes and the mac kept turning itself back on when power came back because it set it to lol

runic geyser
#

lmfao

#

poor mac

#

honestly i love macs so much

last gorge
#

i tried to remote it to shut off completely but the power kept going out too fast for me to login

discord smh

#

ive often had discord just stop working when open in background on my mac, and completely crash my desktop pc. fun times

runic geyser
#

its not even a specialized application lol its just an electron wrapper

#

lmao

last gorge
#

remember when discord advertised as lightweight

vivid temple
last gorge
#

ye it is, even has reduced motion sometimes, tbh im not sure what the problem is, but it definitely goes away when i close window to tray

runic geyser
#

remember when they were advertised as private

#

lmao

#

"we have no way to make money that isnt just mining and selling your data"

#

"but no man we arent doing that"

runic geyser
#

true

#

rocketchat/riot/matrix/whatever ftw

#

yeah theyve changed names like 4 times

vivid temple
#

"fun" detail, people said the same thing about Teamspeak

runic geyser
#

true

vivid temple
#

and ICQ

#

and winamp

runic geyser
#

but discord is HUGE

vivid temple
#

and a bunch of other things

#

no, teamspeak is NOT centralized

runic geyser
#

yeah so discord has to pay google cloud's (pretty large) hosting fees for every user, and every bit of bandwidth that is used

#

since its not decentralized

#

the ceo of discord already made a messaging app

#

that got shut down because it was selling user data keeeek

#

this is attempt 2

#

dont mine user data and let people find out

vivid temple
#

well

runic geyser
#

such as?

vivid temple
#

dont let the convenience become so light that the selling of the user data becomes heavier

runic geyser
#

thinking of making the switch

vivid temple
#

that is what google does after all

runic geyser
#

havent used it much

vivid temple
#

seems to work out just fine for them

runic geyser
#

i use the hell out of google services

#

just hope my enterprise acc means theyre selling less keeeek

#

which they do

#

Google does not collect, scan or use data in Google Workspace Core Services for advertising purposes. Customer administrators can restrict access to Non-Core Services from the Google Workspace Admin console. Google indexes customer data to provide beneficial services, such as spam filtering, virus detection, spellcheck and the ability to search for emails and files within an individual account.

#

so im fie

#

fine

#

id be using it mostly for 1:1 calling and screenshare

#

i guess i could spin up a screego instance

#

yep

vivid temple
runic geyser
#

i mean considering that they have hospitals on the same plan, as well as some gov stuff

#

if they violate those policies they could get in a lot of hot water

vivid temple
#

its just curated data

#

its still being sold

#

the fact that you know that they use it = data being sold

#

(might not be in the way you originally meant it, but .. yeah)

runic geyser
#

this is for core services

#

basically im paying them to not sell it to others lol

#

so just docs, drive, gmail

#

everything else is fair game according to them

Hey just built my first pc with a rysen 7 3700x all's working well I'm on the the screen before the BIOS setup everything is connected but it won't recognise me pressing enter or F1 can anyone help with first setup

last gorge
#

try different usb port in rear io, or maybe different keyboard if you can. ive had some keebs not work for bios in past. tho most pc auto boot to bios if there isnt a drive to boot

hoary nacelle
#

usually on desktops you have to press the "del" key to get to bios, maybe thats why @frosty sage

#

but otherwise, ghost is correct motherboard will go to bios if no bootable drive is connected

soft herald

I thought it was f2 or delete

#

I never seen someone use f1

So, made a big mistake and installed another operating system (Win Server 2016) along windows 10 on a separate drive. If I removed the drive I recently installed win server 2016 on and boot to my drive with windows 10 on it, it goes to a boot menu saying "windows failed to start" "A required device isn't connected" pressing enter for os selection brings me to a menu saying "choose an os" the only os listed is win server 2016 not my main win10 install. Going into the win server 2016 os shows that my windows 10 files are still on my main drive. Idk what to do now.

Got it sorted bios all setup just have to boot windows 10 tomorrow via flash drive all's good 👍 my key command to enter bios was the FN button with F1 held together so that took a while to figure out 🤣

when i turn on my pre built pc, why does it send me to my bios and not windows?

eager flare
#

But of course, I can't even send links of messages within the same discord.

#

I was trying to send a message about removing a package on Ubuntu, but I realized that apt-get update probably wasn't failing overall.

vivid temple
#

@eager flare its the anti-spam bot in action, until you are lvl 3, you cannot post links/images

#

send me the picture and ill post it for you

eager flare
#

It's fine. It wasn't even an image. It was a log output from my console and the bot thought I was "duplicating text".

#

I sent my issue in two other discords and I think that specific issue is resolved for now.

#

Though, I will say, I've never seen such insane spam prevention. It seems overkill.

vivid temple
#

its because of the size and the target audience @eager flare

#

sometimes when the bot is down, it gets a wee bit bonkers

#

so its a tradeoff

eager flare
#

Wow. I feel so dumb. All I needed to do was sudo apt autoremove.

vivid temple
#

:)

#

hey, at least you fixed it :)

eager flare
#

Yeah, lol. And the best part is that it failing to update those packages wasn't even a blocker. I was actually able to get Torch to compile after doing some step that I can't even remember.

#

All I know is that compiling c programs that include lua and python is a nightmare.

vivid temple
#

:)

eager flare
#

And here we go, with yet another WSL issue that seems unfixable. I swear, everything got exponentially worse once I upgraded to WSL 2.

on a related note: if you have about 100 machines, expect a weekly meltdown of at least one machine

#

that gives you an idea about things Zach

hoary nacelle
#

nah im not referencing people with 100 machines lol

vivid temple
#

no no

hoary nacelle
#

oh i missed the "on a related note"

vivid temple
#

i mean, rough statistic for breakdowns

hoary nacelle
#

ah

#

all the people ive had to help with issues have all had AMD.

vivid temple
#

its the smallest sample i have

#

you mean software issues here right?

hoary nacelle
#

usually, yes

#

not hardware

vivid temple
#

because hardware issues can be "anything"

hoary nacelle
#

yeah yeah

vivid temple
#

and software is normally caused by the user that "totally did not do anything weird!"

hoary nacelle
#

my friend with his 570, weve updated his bios, windows, graphics drivers, everything under the sun and his pc is still broken

#

any time he runs a game it just bugs and lags out

#

resulting in 2fps

#

and then a game crash

vivid temple
#

that just sounds like faulty hardware

#

no matter what you do, you wont ever fix that

hoary nacelle
#

but the computer acts fine otherwise, when not running a 3d game

vivid temple
#

so, faulty gpu

#

have you by chance tried giving the gpu some more voltage?

#

not a lot, just a bit?

hoary nacelle
#

no

vivid temple
#

try

hoary nacelle
#

that would be in bios, i assume?

vivid temple
#

no. GPU

hoary nacelle
#

oh

#

how much should we turn it up?

vivid temple
#

default is something like 0,720 or so

#

maybe ,725

#

so, bump it up to 735 or something

#

nothing bonkers as such, but IF you have a die that is a bit thirsty, it might fix it

#

so my dads friend has the windows 10 on a flash drive, but do I still need to buy a key to activate it?

hoary nacelle
#

you can use windows unactivated, some features will be locked (mostly cosmetic) and youll have a watermark in the bottom right

#

but you can activate it later

#

keys on ebay are $5-$6 but you didnt hear that from me (:

near breach
#

how activate?

hoary nacelle
vivid temple
#

anytime zach :)

hoary nacelle
# near breach how activate?

if you activate it during setup it will prompt you for the key during setup, otherwise if you do it after you install you can find it in settings

vivid temple
#

that area in "system" @near breach

near breach
#

Oh ok then, I’ll just do it like a month or so after I build a pc

#

If I want it activated I’ll try to get a key, but if it doesn’t bother me, I’ll save the money

then, if it doesnt work, you can immediately send a picture to the seller that the key doesnt work

99% of the time they will just send a new one, no questions asked

but, ebay takes these listings down constantly, so if you sit on the key and it doesnt work, you're out $5

I got a weird issue if anybody might know how to solve it. When installing the latest redists for Windows Visual C++ an error occurred and now I have 2 different versions installed. I seem to be unable to install either one of them because "a reboot is required" even after several reboots

hoary nacelle
#

you can go the easy route with ubuntu or something like that

#

or you can go down the arch rabbit hole

#

which really opens the door for customization

#

there are free alternatives to mentioned applications, btw

#

such as libreoffice and gimp

#

also games are starting to run better on linux now anyways

#

if you have an AMD gpu, linux will work well with it

runic geyser
#

imo windows runs everything linux does in wsl

#

linux does not run everything windows can

#

therefore windows is the superior daily driver os

#

lmao true

but im talking abt the people here

@vivid temple So I found out what my issue was. Microsoft Update KB4592438 was causing my extensively long boot times. I unistalled it after seeing across multiple platforms that the update was causing BSOD on other machines. After Uninstalling it last night I started my PC today and it is back to working the correct way.

strong surge
#

@prime mango Yes. Easiest to make a Microsoft account and tie the OS to that. WHen yuo install on a new machine, sign in with your MS account and activate it

i got a question , if i want to sync all the rgb ( a lot ) i need a controller or something ?

livid bluff
#

@rich parcel Depends on the Motherboard

rich parcel
#

msi b 550 a pro

livid bluff
#

Some Motherboards have RGB headers in more than one place but otherwise a controller that plugs into a RGB header would be the best option

rich parcel
#

ok thx

#

what’s the price of a controller

livid bluff
#

Really Depends on the brand you go with

#

@rich parcel That Motherboard has 2 RGB Headers on it

#

JRAINBOW1 and JRGB1. The Rainbow one is a 5v and the JRGB is a 12v

rich parcel
#

so i should buy one right

livid bluff
#

Yeah and use the RAINBOE header as that is what most addressable RGB uses from my experience

rich parcel
#

any brand will work right ?

#

cause Big brand are like 50 bucks

#

will this work?

#

or this

livid bluff
#

I would go with the First One as it has the correct type of connector Included for your Motherboard

#

@rich parcel ^^^ and it would connect to the JRAINBOW1 header as that Hub Is a 5v header/splitter and would allow you to sync all the RGB together like your asking

#

Which would then allow you to control all the lights at 1 time from the Software that MSI has for the RGB Lighting

Is it viable to just buy windows 7, then update it to 10 after you build a pc

How

#

@hoary nacelle

#

download the tool (if on a windows PC) and it will do the work for you

#

with a install USB

#

make sure the USB is empty tho because it will delete all data on it

Won't the 'activate windows' watermark be on the bottom of the screen tho

#

yeah

#

but its better than windows 7

#

plus ebay keys cost $7

#

but you didnt hear that from me

True

Quick question, when I buy and use the key

#

Should I have the ethernet plugged in or can it activate windows without internet?

#

The answer is right there

#

Requires internet to activate

#

FI you tie it to a Microsoft account, you'll never need a key again

#

Just reinstall, sign in, and activate

#

super easy

But I heard windows may install malware or something when I put internet on

100% BS

oh lol

#

just dont install anything dumb or malicious

#

just use chrome and install ublock origin

#

or if you dont want google data collection use iridium

#

or firefox

#

everything else is either bad or adware or both
