Ok thanks. Thought I read that somewhere once.

I thought they are called flash drives because they use uv in some way.

If you have a usb flash drive without any case just the circuit board can it be bad to look at due to uv? Newbie question.

If you set the sleep mode to any time and then restart the computer by choosing restart in windows next time windows starts it's back to never. Though if you set the sleep mode time and choose shut down and then turn the computer on again a few seconds later then it retains the selected sleep time.

Just tried that, with all startup items disabled (selective startup tick box and task manager disable) it still keeps going to never. If you disable services in selective startup you can't see or choose any sleep options.

Thanks I tried that so it's not the Samsung Magician doing it, it still goes to never after every restart. Did a virus scan with bitdefender too.

A few times I turned sleep mode on to a couple of hours and I didn't notice but every time I looked again it was set to never. Then I set it to 2 hours and restarted the computer and it went straight back to never again twice. I have Samsung magician installed and running in the tray icon...

Thanks for your reply but I want it for a Windows 10 desktop not for a mobile.

I want to be reminded of something I have to put out on a certain date how can I make it so when I turn on the computer on that date a notification comes up on the desktop after startup. I tried in Windows going to calendar and created an event on today's date for a test and restarted the...

I ended up getting someone to reflash it. So I'll make do for now and only upgrade when it's a huge performance boost without spending too much.

Ok I'll ask.

I was just wondering if I get a sata pci-e card will devices like ssd's connected to it be able to boot with my P67A-C43 (non b3 version) motherboard? I already have a sata pci (non express) card and I cannot get anything to boot from that. How can I confirm whether it will work with a sata...

I was just thinking if I mixed one 4gb ram module with one 8gb I could still get 12gb with only 2 sockets.

Thanks, very informative, maybe I will wait. I probably won't overclock but maybe instead of upgrading at some stage in the future I might think of it then. If you do overclock though and most of the time you are just listening to music or web browsing do you use a lot more electricity than if...

I was just sort of wondering if anyone could give a one number answer of how much better the ryzen 1400 is than the i5 2500 in percentage? Or do I need to wait a bit until there are more benchmarks etc?
