    [SOLVED] Raspberry Pi 400 - Wifi but no Internet

    Afternoon everyone. So I'm new to Raspberry Pi and Linux in general. After playing around with a 400, I made the jump and grabbed a bunch for work (teacher, useful for students who don't have laptops, which is most.) While setting them up, I'm having an issue where despite being connected to...

    [SOLVED] NVME Extremely slow boot

    Completed the re-cloning, following your instructions and there's definitely a change. A cold startup takes 25s~ from pressing power to being on the desktop, considering it's a cheap, low performance M.2 I can live with that for now. A restart is more or less the same as it was before though...

    [SOLVED] NVME Extremely slow boot

    Kingston SSD Manager reports that the firmware is up to date. Everything I can find on Kingston's website points to the driver being included in Windows from 8 onwards.

    My original C: boot drive, a SATA SSD. A2000 is at about 180/250GB after the cloning, was brand new and empty prior to that. 2 x SATA SSD 1 x SATA HDD 1 x M.2 (The one in question)

    [SOLVED] NVME Extremely slow boot

    I've recently fitted an M.2 NVME to my machine and I'm experiencing extremely slow boot times (1m 30 -2 minutes) Post lasts about as long as it always has (a few seconds,) then the windows icon loading screen lasts upwards of 90 seconds before getting into the desktop. Fast boot is enabled...

    Gigabyte GTX 970 Mini iTX OC Black screen/TDR when under load from gaming

    I do actually. Not sure whether it will be good enough to stress it much though. It's got an AMD A10, 8Gb DDR3, Gigabyte F2A85XM-HD3 a CIT 500W PSU (I know, I know - I didn't know about their rep at the time and was on a budget) and a GTX 750 Ti in it at the moment. Anything you can recommend...
