It's also possible they didn't find out about the redundancy package, because Intel told them weeks ago layoffs were coming. I guess we're at least lucky that there's quite a few IT jobs in the area, as long as you have a place to stay (Dublin is insane rentwise these days)

Not sure what I can elaborate on tho. As soon as Intel said there will be redundancies they lost staff. I know a few workers there and one of them is a manager, he said he lost half his team due to this. I don't live in Leixlip but fairly close (like 30 miles).

Every word of it is true. Literally live with one of their contracted staff so duh.

What they fail to mention is that majority of the staff are contract workers hired by agencies. And they also didn't mention that numerous of the employees already left for other jobs as soon as Intel announced there will be layoffs. Some teams lost half their staff overnight at that. Will be...

Very peculiar issues, because based on what you wrote above it looks like a heating issue. P95 in small FFT generally doesn't use RAM much, and it lasts 12 min but CSGO is more CPU bound than DS, which should make it crash faster. You could install HWMonitor and see the temperature and CPU% in...

Prime95 tends to stress the CPU, so it would point at the BIOS settings/CPU for this as would the freezing, however about the graphics intensive aspect, this generally would put the finger elsewhere. Prime95 does use the RAM a bit while stressing the CPU, and you'd often get this in graphics...

I thought you were referring to your own line of work. Tom's I get as it's been quoted to clueless users numerous times. Even when I worked at tech support for Microsoft, I would almost daily, mention it to users. (Yes every tech support love these forums). While it's good they can find a...

I haven't seen one in the last 4-5 years or so, but it's indeed correct. Hoping I won't see one either, but you're right :D

When you say it freezes, are we talking a freeze that you can get out of with time? Or permanent freeze and you need to reboot? Further on that, does the audio freeze as well or does it keep playing? And have you done any tweaking in BIOS? Like overclocking? Updating BIOS usually resets the...

Then I really feel sorry for you. I've worked in IT for the last 3 decades, and even where I work now people wouldn't be that dense. And this is a place where people share their passwords with colleagues because otherwise "they forget them", or create support tickets to ask us to verify mails...

Generally any modern motherboard supports these so answer is always Yes*. The * is because you need to check the actual motherboard for where the port is, how many ports there are and so on. In this case the description Lafong linked would make you believe there's 2, but in reality there's just...

Backing up your data is step 1 on any discussion. Once you've done that, we can talk. What kind of sound is it making? Is it spinning up, winding down? Or a clicking noise? Or small spin then clicking noise? If it's winding up or down and disconnects, could be port/cables that aren't fully in...

I don't know a single person that would ever, EVER run a randomly found .exe file when downloading a movie. This headline might as well have said "Random viruses can occur if you download executables from unknown source".

Even better, I'd go for a 3060 for sure then. If you look around resellers, there are often "upgrade kits", where they sell a CPU, Motherboard and RAM all in one, it generally makes it a bit cheaper/easier if you aren't extremely picky what brand you want

First thing's first. Has it ever worked on the current setup? If no, the first thing I'd check is the cable and try another one. That card usually comes with all 3 ports, DVI, HDMI, Displayport, so try them all.
