Does it count monitors presenting catastrophic defects right after warranty expires now in 2024? If yes, I've got a monitor here that wants to tell you a story, and that's that LG turned to shit. To add insult to the injury they're doing the written word equivalent of ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and...

An AIO radiator doesn't need to be installed on the side. The biggest obstacle for an AIO is be the distance from the block to the nearest fan. It's possible to use an AIO heathsink fan as exhaust but obviously CPU temps are going to climb higher, faster. Anecdote: I got a miniITX in a 222mm x...

If it has a speaker/buzzer you can also try to remove everything, RAM included, leave just the CPU and its cooler and the power to the mobo and CPU and see if it turns on and beeps a complaint. Failing to turn on then I'd also take the CPU out and try again.

Hibernation is similar to sleep, but it saves a copy of the RAM (where the current session lives) to the disk. It enables to put the computer to "sleep" and not lose the state if power is out for some reason, unlike sleep which only saves data to the RAM. There's also hybrid sleep which...

As someone who has been running a 100GB partition for the OS for years and is diligent about where to download things, where set scratch disks and tmp when allowed to, besides installing large work software packages and some utils in another partition, I can tell you: Yeaaah, it's a little too...

👀 It's nice to see Galax still taking us who need smaller-sized cards into consideration.

Do you happen to have another computer or another CPU at hand to test? Last time I had issues with PCIe lanes it was either the mobo or CPU. Unfortunately it was 10 years ago. I had to RMA both around the same time and can no longer recall who was at fault for what, just that one of them caused...

If the only thing you're only going to do in that OS is run games I don't see the security risks, specially since you're going to do it in a virtual machine — isolated from your main system. As long you don't browse the internet or install games from suspicious sources you should be fine.

Do you have the iGPU Multi-Monitor option? Did you try to enable it when setting the Primary Display to IGFX?

Yeah, it's weird. It could be an iGPU setting. First you need to be able to to get into BIOS and configure it at will.

Well, the next step seems to be to borrow or buy a keyboard, ideally a ps/2, and try it. I've had computers with BIOS which didn't support USB keyboards well, but that was a very long time ago, like 20+ years. I'd be surprised if such a recent mobo acted like this.

@Paperdoc Out of curiosity, is audibly rattling only at certain speeds a characteristic of a specific type of bearing or is it common? Usually I don't stick with fans long enough they start to wear this way, but I had a 120mm fan acting similarly to the OPs, except the rattle when trigged was...

Is your OS set to auto-update drivers? You should try to rollback GPU the driver to the version released around the time you got the card, disable auto-updates if possible, and remove that Nvidia App for good measure.

Pretty much everything I'd recommend already was, so I'll just recommend you take a look at gog.com, short for "Good Old Games". Stuff is going on sale all the time. Games are DRM-free, no online activtation or internet required to play, so you won't find some from publishers who really really...

Is the keyboard plugged directly into a mobo port? If you have it connected to a peripheral like the monitor and the monitor usb isn't setup properly yet or isn't receiving power it won't be detected.

It's probably only producing the noise at a specific RPM. If you want to reproduce it you'll need to monitor the RPM, take note of the speed when it happens then use a software like Fan Control to place the fan in that rotation.

Are you talking about the brief bump in the viewport, as if someone was handholding a camera and hiccuped? I don't think it's the GPU but a glitch in the animation of the game, because the GUI remains in the same relative place to the screen. If it were a glitch on the GPU end that made the...

Thanks for fixing it! Good to know, you potentially saved me from some head scratching. I don't think I'll have this issue with simplewall, but it's good to know. I hadn't heard about simplewall until yesterday either, but I'm a fan of open source projects and every time I need something new I...

No, it's the system buzzer. So it has a built-in speaker, good. Remove all RAM modules, turn it on and see if it beeps. These seem to be the beep codes for HP, with long red = long beeps, short white = short beeps) : https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/ish_1997210-1528385-16 If it still does...

Read the manual to see if there's a speaker. If there's a connection but it doesn't come with one, you didn't install one nor can see one installed you'll have to acquire one. It can't beep without one. "this time for the speaker" = You'll have to install one, listen to the beep and check the...

Now I'd start from ground up and get a PC speaker (assuming you don't have one installed due the lack of mention of beeps), because too many variables changed and something may not be properly seated. Unplug everything, leave only RAM, CPU and keyboard. Ensure you plugged all power cables...

It's a bit early to say it solved the issue, but yours was a very good idea. I went with an open-source alternative though, simplewall. I was dreading to look at traffic and discover it was some windows system process I can't block without consequences, but once I looked guess who was trying to...

A bad keyboard might prevent you from getting into BIOS but shouldn't cause a blackscreen when picking a recovery option. Create a bootable Windows 10 usb and try to boot into recovery from there. Ps.: If that's an Asus BIOS I think you can get into it by pressing Del. You got you mobo model...

I'm on Windows 10 Pro. Is there a way to prevent Microsoft Store from auto-updating other Windows Apps when Store itself was already removed? (You read that right) Logic says that once Microsoft Store package is removed it should no longer be doing stuff, but it's Microsoft we're talking about...

Be wary of the LG monitor. I've had many, used to trust the brand. Then my latest, an Ultragear, keeled over barely a couple of months after the warranty expired. A quick search on a local complaints site turned up many "it died barely an year after purchase" cases against LG. Also, it had...

You should have mentioned it froze in the first post. Do you have any drive with an OS? Maybe an USB stick with Ubuntu? Another keyboard to try? I'm wondering if it simply isn't detecting your keyboard thus won't respond to it, and because it has nowhere to boot to it just sits there, waiting...

You get into the RE then run whatever appropriate recovery option for the issue you're experiencing. Sometimes you'll need to get to the CLI to run commands. You need to be more specific about what you're trying to recover from.

Is a dictionary smart?

Ah, yes, AGI will be achieved back-to-back with the full self-driving launch next year. Just you wait. Better grab a chair. Amazon's AI-powered checkouts turned out to be a room with 1000 Indians for a reason. Anyone who at the very least finetuned a model knows so called current AI are...

I recently wrapped up Dishonored 2, played it for the first time, the art is so damn good it brings you tears of joy. Started Death of the Outsider, and got a few other titles lined up on GOG. I also quite liked Control, it got me curious about Alan Wake. When I'll find the time to play though...

Rather moot since OP doesn't have an iGPU, but starting Windows 10 you can not only use the two concurrently but choose which app uses what. Handy to save a little power and get something extra from your GPU if it's not very good.

*facepalm* I'm not very familiar with the brand, should have checked the name. Both look good. I've sent emails inquiring about how warranty would work here, now it comes down to the replies. I've heard very good things about Seasonic, top-notch thoughtful customer care, but their RMA required...

Thanks so much for the suggestions! I've got a lot to think about. I've been looking up how the warranty works for the brands from the suggestions and I wonder: What about Power Flowers? They got one of the best coverages/least complicated RMAs around here, behind only Corsair (unfortunately...

I got gremlins in my computer and I've been eyeing my PSU with increased suspicion. It's an 8 years old Corsair CX430 and even if it turns out to not be the culprit it's about time I replace it. I'll upgrade my GPU sometime in the future and according to Recommended PSU capacities for gaming...

Ok, it doesn't look like a rubber coating problem. First you might want to check the battery to eliminate it just in case. Carefully take it off and examine it for any signs of dampness/oily residues, and also dry crusts. Don't touch them if you see anything. Also check the battery slot. If...

Images of it would be helpful. Does it have rubberized finish around the screen or keyboard? Is the residue constrained to the screen or is it all over the place? The coating of some electronics start to melt and gets all sticky and gross after some years. I've had it happen to plenty mouses...

Seconding the paper clip test on the PSU to make sure it's turning on. If yes reconnect everything then unplug the power switch connector from the mobo and short it to see if the system posts. A defective case power switch can create the situation in which leds from your peripherals can turn on...

There's been a (not so) new development. I've been using the computer the entire week without any issues. Ambient temperature mild to warm (24ºC-31ºC) but nothing close to what it was when the issue happened, fan curve slightly more aggressive so mobo won't go over 57ºC just in case. All...

That depends so much on your ambient temperature, case, CPU, cooler type and last but not least important: fan settings -- you can't really compare with data from random people. Mine for example: ~1700RPM (75%), CPU 32º, ambient temperature 26ºC. Because it's a WC, the only fan in the case and...

The keyboard is from the Microsoft Wireless Comfort Desktop 5050 kit. I had one from the 5000 kit before that on which I also experienced the issue. I'll fish for a USB Dell I know I have lying somewhere around to see if this happens. System: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro (x64) Build 19044.2130...
