So if it's losing drives or XMP, might need to be replaced

#

I've been experiencing full GPU crashed where my PC just crashes entirely when I play like valorant or GTA

#

how would I fix that?

strong surge
proper dew
#

this is my GPU in valorant

#

98%

#

100% basically all the time

strong surge
#

That's not a bad thing

#

You want it to be used

proper dew
#

so 100% is fine?

#

like constant 100%?

strong surge
#

With low CPU useage, you have room to upgrade

#

But 90+% is what you have a GPU for

proper dew
#

I fixed it

#

it was at an uncapped frame rate

cinder mauve
#

Nice

#

Good job

proper dew
#

@strong surge I think the battery might be dead, because it went into bios for me again

strong surge
#

yeah, if it did that and reset the RAM DOCP

#

Def battery

#

They are cheap

narrow violet
#

After bios is installing driver ez? Cause in Microsoft edge u download chrome and look up the name of the gpu right?

#

And install drivers there

#

?

thorn lagoon
#

Yep

#

Go to website, look up device name

#

Download driver

narrow violet
#

All of them

#

?

thorn lagoon
#

Wdym all of them?

#

Usually only GPU needs driver

Mosr are srock windowa drivers

thorn lagoon
#

I was making the thoughts simple for him. You only need to download GPU drivers separate

runic geyser
#

win7 was fun cause no network drivers were included

strong surge
#

Not manufacturer specific

thorn lagoon
#

Windows handles the rest usually

runic geyser
#

had to make custom iso with network drivers

strong surge
#

Windows provides generic drivers. Might be missing some funtionality.

runic geyser
#

windows comes with generic drivers built in

#

if it cant automatically find good drivers

#

then it stays with generic

thorn lagoon
#

Apologies for being blatantly wrong, I was keeping it simple for the person who has never build a computer before and was worried about installing drivers

Welp so. I have some applications from my old PC and plus I know they don't have any viruses since they are all false positives but windows defender just dont allow them

how do I fully disable it?

Idk where else to put this bit when I use the sleep mode from windows 10 it wakes all the fans, pumps, and lights but it doesn't turn on. I have to hold the power button to turn it off and on again and when it boots it still has everything running like with regular sleep, what could be causing this

Change your sleep state or other power options in BIOS

Hello there, I was wondering if someone could give me an advice about a prospective software upgrade, from Win 7 to 10.
To be more precise, I would like to know if there are problems to be expected when upgrading to W10 considering my rig consists in : 4690K, Z87 MoBo, 1660S from Zotac and 8GB @1333MHz (which, I know, matches the requirements, my concerns are more about drivers availability, performance, RAM usage and stability).
BTW, I play Skyrim a lot (and with a lot of mods) so if one knows about how better/worse the usual tools work...I would be glad to hear about it.
Thank you for taking time to read that.

(PS : I'm considering going for those 10-ish € activation keys you might find on Amazon and the likes. So the cost is not a major concern.)

graceful bramble
#

There should be no problems at all

runic geyser
#

download win10 iso and have it upgrade your pc

crude crater
#

Thank you...Wait what ?

#

How can it be activated then ?

#

I can't possibly use the Win7 key to register a copy of Win10, can I ?

frosty jolt
#

you can

narrow violet
#

To get windows 10 for free u just go to the Microsoft website and download it onto a USB right?

crude crater
#

@frosty jolt I don't need a Win10 specific key for that purpose ?

frosty jolt
#

nope

frosty jolt
#

there was a upgrade thing where everyone with win7 could get win10 for free

#

technically it ended 4 yrs ago but it still works

crude crater
#

@narrow violet When you DL Win10, it's an install image you get, but you need an activation key for Windows to work properly (and just work past a certain period)

narrow violet
#

Ye ty

crude crater
#

Okay, I'm going to try this out, then.

#

Thank you for answering :D

frosty jolt
#

no problem

#

i dont have a guarantee that itll work tho

#

but it should

crude crater
#

I still got the licence key I bought 6 years ago, and got 2 brand new SSD one of which I got for the purpose of reinstalling my system onto.

crude crater
#

@frosty jolt Okay, I've tested it, aaaaaaaaand... IT WORKED. Please, no matter what your gender is, please for the sake of every Saint/God/Whatever you worship, put that ring to your finger and I'll put this one on mine.

#

Now I've got Win7 and Win10 running on my computer XDDD

Seems like you're connecting with Wireless G or another slow protocol. What's the WiFi connection?

wdym with what’s the wifi connection

strong surge
#

is it wireless G? Wireless N? to the router or modem

if you're only doing 100 mbps down, that tells me it's an older modem or router

how do i check that @strong surge

What modem or router are you connecting to?

Sorry for being out of context but well there you go :

my MC server doesn't wanna go more than 4g.No crash error i know by looking at my TMNG and i know pretty good minecraft server but idk why the server just capped itself at 4G

Btw i put my Batch file command here:

java -d64 -Xms1024M -Xmx8G -jar forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2854.jar nogui

My setup:

Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GH/z
32 GB ram 4x8 (3000MH/z)
EVGA GTX 970 SC
Win 10 64Bit Pro

Thanks for any help

(PS) I looked for alot of fix and not sure nothing work and my server still won't keep up

strong surge
#

Try reversing the two XMS and making them both the same

#

For example

#

java -Xmx8192M -Xms8192M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui

#

You have XMX and XMS reversed and both should be the same

#

Also should be in MB, not G @lucid blade

lucid blade
#

ooh

strong surge
#

So your command would be

#

java -d64 -Xmx8192M -Xms8192M -jar forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2854.jar nogui

lucid blade
#

Too small initial heap

strong surge
#

Just set them both the same so it's force at 8 GB

#

Error occured during initialization of VM

#

Well, commands backwards

#

that my console rn

strong surge
#

It started up before?

#

Just stuck at 4G?

lucid blade
#

yeah

#

oh bruh wait

#

if i don't write M uh

strong surge
#

That might do it

lucid blade
#

starting wait neede to see if it doing good x)

strong surge
#

Copy paste this? java -d64 -Xmx8192M -Xms8192M -jar forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2854.jar nogui

#

Ah, OK!

lucid blade
#

still capped at this point...

strong surge
#

If you do things does it go higher?

#

Might be all it needs for now

#

Like, more people joining, etc

Hello can someone help me did a reset on his pc and when we choose the operating system it just restarts again and gets back to this screen

thorn lagoon
#

you installed it on two separate drives / partitions

#

its asking what install you want to choose to boot off of

analog lynx
#

So he did it twice? It only has 1 drive

thorn lagoon
#

two separate partitions probably

#

just choose one

analog lynx
#

I did but it doesn’t work, maybe trying to reset it again?

thorn lagoon
#

maybe

#

you might have to reinstall windows

somber berry
#

@runic geyser bruh bitdefender kinda weird its turning itself off

runic geyser
thorn lagoon
#

Lol

warm osprey
#

hmm

#

somehow this seems bad:

#

I set Lively (an animated desktop background) to use my iGPU instead of my 3060Ti, and now it's pinned it pretty much at 100%.

#

CPU usage is way up as well. I was hoping using my iGPU would make it not cripple the rest of my system, but I guess it doesn't work that way. Anything I can do?

#

This is the iGPU I have:

#

When I close Lively, this is Task Manager:

wraith timber
#

Task manager dark theme sailormoonhappy

#

Is this something 20H2 I'm too 1909 to understand

warm osprey
#

lol

#

You can use UltraUxThemePatcher + any user-created Windows dark theme

#

It does have its issues tho. For example, in some installers the text color won't change so you'd be reading black text on a gray background.

wraith timber
#

Neat

#

Not too much of an issue if it's just an installer tbh

warm osprey
#

It's good most of the time tho, so it's worth it to me.

warm osprey
#

Any idea for the Lively iGPU usage?

runic geyser
#

back when i cared abt desktop backgrounds i used that

#

and it uses video encoder/decoder

warm osprey
#

Ack. No open source alternative?

runic geyser
#

why do you care about open source and use windows

#

lol

#

most of the time closed source software ends up being the better product

#

which sucks but like whatever

warm osprey
#

Linux appears to equally suck on the front of animated desktop backgrounds lol

#

Plus I can't run any games on Linux, so only using it on my laptop for school.

graceful bramble
#

Wine, PlayOnLinux

warm osprey
#

ig I'll buy Wallpaper Engine

graceful bramble
#

There are many games that can run on Linux

vestal ibex
#

I wouldn't look at task manager for gpu usage anyway, it's rarely accurate. It's good for everything except that. If you don't want a third party utility like afterburner, resource monitor works.

thorn lagoon
#

Resource monitor’s GUI is ugly as hell though

#

Next to the rest of windows 10, that is

vestal ibex
#

Yes it's a relic, but it's more accurate than task manager if you don't want third party applications

Aren't you running Bitdefender or something?

Parents won't let you go without it? That's honestly the first thing that should go. Next are things like Armoury Crate, Logitech Updater, any of the fluff from your motherboard maker. As barebones as you can make the OS.

Logitech garbage or EVGA CLC control was nuking mine

so

uninstall bitdefender and check logitech stuff

And anything else I listed

Any add on control software

Mouse will work without the fancy logitech stuff

I uninstalled the Logtiech stuff and my crashes literally stopped

alr ill try that

ig ill stay with windows defender

Test it.

somber berry
#

alr alr

#

ok deleted them both

#

now i guess off to play and test

strong surge
#

Reboot first

#

make sure it's all gone

#

Also use the Bitdefender uninstall tool, don't just use Add Remove programs

It leaves stuff behind

somber berry
#

oh

i removed the add remove programs

strong surge

Yeah, and then restart

somber berry

i just did lol

hey i recently updated my drivers any my sound output is now realtek any my sound quality just sounds so low even at max? Can someone help me out

strong surge
#

What was it before?

#

A USB headset?

#

?

cinder mauve
#

High definition Audio Device

#

Im still using the same output , but after updating my drivers it changed to realtek

#

now at max , its sounds alot lower

strong surge
#

Ah, click the speaker icon bottom right of Windows and change the output back to High Definition

cinder mauve
#

its not there anymore

strong surge
#

Windows Search - Sound - System Sound settings

#

That screen, blue text on the right, click SOund Control Panel

#

Is it listed there?

cinder mauve
#

yep

strong surge
#

Right click it and choose Default Device

cinder mauve

but its grayed out

strong surge
#

Oh

#

How are your speakers/headset hooked up?

cinder mauve
#

my headset is plugged in straight to my pc

strong surge
#

back or front?

cinder mauve
#

back

strong surge
#

That should be the Realtek motherboard sound then

#

Always has been

cinder mauve
#

But before it was the high deifinition audio device

#

I just updated my drivers yesterday and it changed to realtek

#

ever since , my sounds sound super low at max

strong surge
#

Yeah, I understand. The HD Audio Device is the default Windows driver

#

On the sound control panel you have open

cinder mauve
#

Is there a way to get it back?

strong surge
#

Click the one with the green checkmark and then click Configure

#

Make sure it's setup properly

runic geyser

yep

strong surge
#

back to the last screen then, click it again and choose Properties lower right corner

strong surge
#

Enhancements tab, try Loudness Equalization and bass management

cinder mauve

there isnt a enhancments tab

is there a way to go back to the windows audio driver?

strong surge
#

I would uninstall whatever Windows installed

cinder mauve
#

done

strong surge
#

Restart and see if it's better

cinder mauve
#

i did that but it still doesnt sound as loud as it did with the windows audio driver

cinder mauve

#

You could try uninstalling it again and just restarting

See if the default driver comes back?

You can't copy system files and folders to another drive while IN windows

runic geyser
#

and dont do it anyways lol

#

u missed that part vintage

grave peak
#

why not do it

#

my nvme is like full

strong surge
#

Cuz you need to uninstall the programs

#

Then reinstall them to the other drive

#

Not just copy pasta

grave peak
#

😮 thats a pain

strong surge
#

Copy pasta gonna break EVERYTHING

grave peak
#

mhm i see

strong surge
#

Except Steam games, you can move those without reinstalling

#

and some other games too

runic geyser
#

find out whats big

#

then fix it

#

big stuff = things to move probably

grave peak
#

soooo if some things are slowing down because my main drive is full i cant do anything about it because its full of un-transferrable folders

runic geyser
#

use the thing i sent lol

grave peak

oaky

nah, you uninstall the program

and reinstall it to the other drive

ive just reset my new computer that i ordered from newegg last week, and my window 10 cant be activated now. pc says the version isn't genuine. help?

strong surge
#

Reset or received?

#

Like, you reinstalled Windows??

cinder mauve
#

can anyone help me?

#

this is very frustrating

strong surge
#

What happens when you try and activate it?

#

Windows Search -Activate - Activation page?

strong surge
cinder mauve
#

id post a screen shot but i cant

strong surge
#

Does it say you can't?

#

That you need a key?

cinder mauve
#

it says it scant be activated as its not genuine?

strong surge
#

How did you reinstall it?

#

Windows 10 Media Creation tool?

cinder mauve
#

just did a reset on my comupter

#

thats it

#

was all atuomated

strong surge
#

Does it give you a place to put in a key?

cinder mauve
#

ill check

#

yes

#

but

strong surge
#

ok

#

Just wait

cinder mauve
#

i dont have a key

strong surge
cinder mauve
#

it gave me a key but now it says the hardware has changed?

strong surge
#

Can you just click through it?

#

Why did you reinstall Windows in the first place?

cinder mauve
#

i dont think so. my only options are to go to microsoft store or close...

#

i did a reset on my computer as i was having some issue with things crashing randomly. so i thought that would help

strong surge
#

If no hardware changed, I'm not sure why it's giving you that error. What brand is it? ABS?

cinder mauve
#

msi

strong surge
#

Hmmmm, it should just reactivate. So you do this, and what exactly does it say? Select the Start button, then select Settings > Update & Security > Activation > Change Product Key, then enter the product key.

cinder mauve
#

it says activate then i say yes then it says the hardwares been changed and to make sure im connected to the net.

strong surge
#

Oh, do you not have an internet connection?

cinder mauve
#

which i obviuously am connected to the net

strong surge
#

Ok, well, some people use Discord on their phone lol

cinder mauve
#

nope... on the pc

strong surge
#

Well, if the Key that tool found isn't working, you'll need to contact MSI most likely to get a new one. I'm not sure why that happened, most PC's have the key stored in the BIOS, which that tool pulls out.

#

If it tells you to go to the Microsoft store, it wants you to buy another OS key.

#

Is there ANY documentation that came with the PC that has a Windows key on it?

#

Anything at all?

cinder mauve
#

nothing on paper as far as im aware

strong surge
#

:/

cinder mauve
#

nope. just checked the box it came in and theres nothing

#

so i have to contact msi even though i purchased through newegg?

strong surge
#

Well, there's not much more I can do from here, sadly. https://us.msi.com/about/contact-us

#

Yes, Newegg won't be able to help with an OS installation

If it's an MSI PC, contact MSI

how can i clean install my mobo drivers

i got told this rt64.sys driver is from real tek so i wanna update all my mobo drivers

Thats your ethernet or wifi card. Both that and the netio.

#

Uninstall them in device manager and restart. Should use windows default drivers after that.

somber berry
#

dont have wifi included so ethernet

#

uh

#

@strong surge

#

which one

tired orchid
#

It should just be that Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller.

#

But, I'd just get all your mobo drivers from your manufacturer's website.

strong surge
#

THey did, that's what's causing the issue possibly.

#

I was at a vet appointment

#

I'd uninstall the Realtek and let Windows install a generic

somber berry

ok so uninstall and if it keeps crashing ill install the manufacturer's one

cyan pulsar
#

In case i still have this issue after factory resetting is there anyway to fix this error? All I did was restart my laptop and it gave me that error

#

I’ve had the laptop for 3 years and the warranty ran out in October

vestal ibex
#

WHEA internal error, it's either a critical driver failed or hardware (or overclocking but I think we can rule that out on laptop)

cyan pulsar
#

Yeah I haven’t screwed with that I don’t trust myself with it lol

#

I hope it’s not hardware...

#

Not going to be able to get a new laptop till the end of the year

vestal ibex
#

It's probably repairable if it is hardware, likely suspects are RAM or hard drive, sometimes a bad power brick

cyan pulsar
#

Probably power brick then if it’s hardware

#

Battery life on it has been declining a lot

vestal ibex
#

There's a chance of that, since it's getting on in years. Battery cells degrade, capacitors age and lose potential.

cyan pulsar
#

Yeah

#

Used to be able to last like 4 hours when unplugged but now only 2

#

If I remove the battery and just run it off the cable would that maybe fix it? I usually use it plugged in anyways to give the GPU full power

vestal ibex
#

Maybe, unless it's the brick itself. It could still be RAM or hard drive too.

cyan pulsar
#

Alright

#

Yeah

That better be a top of the line 64GB one at that price

I’ll just have windows on there and run my pc through my flash drive 👀

vestal ibex

Lol that could actually work if you install it as "Windows to-go" but you need pro or better license to do it

paper cedar
#

🏴‍☠️

#

Does having windows to go mean I can have my own personalized work station on any pc

#

That would be dope

vestal ibex
#

Sort of. The PC you want to use it on needs to have a specialized install of Windows on it already and you basically have the user data on the drive.

yes with the worst performance youve ever seen

So it’s pretty much used for dynamic companies

Hey all. Anyone able to answer this question?
In my current pc build, for my mobo, I'm using an
Asus ProArt Z490-creator 10G

Long story
I was able to install Windows 10 ok, but when I powered off and powered on later, the mobo won't boot to windows.
I did check in BIOS, and it does see the SSD with win10 on it as a bootable drive, so i really am stumped on what I'm missing.
Any advice or constructive criticism is appreciated

#

Edit: I was able to interact with the windows 10 desktop before powering off, so I know it installed at least, but I am still having the above issue

power off, CMOS clear, remove drive for a little while, put it back in alongside CMOS battery

Btw anyone else power off their desktop by hitting the power button then instead of powering off it just restarts?

Most of the time the power button works fine but twice now it’s turned itself back on right after I turned it off

#

I don’t use the power button but my computer will sometimes randomly reboot when I tell it to shut down

#

I chalk it up to windows being weird because I’ve had the same issue across multiple platforms and windows revisions

Anyone know how to create a bootable USB for Windows 10 on a mac without using bootcamp?

hoary nacelle
#

rufus and balena take an ISO and make it into a bootable usb drive

last gorge
#

the easiest way is to use boot camp assistant if the specific mac has the option https://www.windowscentral.com/how-create-windows-10-installer-usb-drive-mac I’ve used etcher in the best but never for windows only linux

Windows Central

We previously showed you how to create a Windows 10 USB installation media when performing a clean install of Windows 10, but there might be an instance where the only machine you have available is a Mac. We'll show you to create a bootable USB flash drive with the Windows 10 installer from a Mac. It's easier than you think.

Ok. I thought Rufus was only for windows? I might be wrong ab that

everything on the usb drive will get wiped tho so make sure you back it up

that mac doesn’t use a usb to install boot camp by any chance does it xD

boreal glade
#

Haha im not sure tbh i dont have boot camp installed but i dont think it does

last gorge
#

you can try that tool above, reason why i ask is because the macs that use a usb to install boot camp you should be able to just format and download iso to the drive without actually installing boot camp. but boot camp assistant should be on every mac as far i know unless maybe the apple silicon ones

boreal glade
#

Yeah i have the assistant but those images in the tutorial linked are not the same as what i am looking at right now, i believe that requires boot camp to be fully installed unfortunately

That's not a tool just the CLI commands for making a UEFI boot disk.
