2nd gen Threadripper 1950x

Apparently Windows 11 requires a TPM2.0 module in order to run https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/enable-tpm-2-0-on-your-pc-1fd5a332-360d-4f46-a1e7-ae6b0c90645c I have an older motherboard, ASUS ROG ZENITH EXTREME (AMD X399) How can I determine 1) whether I have TPM but its just...

2nd Gen Threadripper 1950X ROG Zenith Extreme MOBO.

Thanks. Wasn't aware of the $30 option! So Microsoft will still officially support and provide updates to Win10 even though its discontinued? 2nd Gen Threadripper 1950X ROG Zenith Extreme MOBO.

My older AMD motherboard and CPU apparently do not support Windows 11. So what happens with end of Windows 10 support in October? Will it be safe or practical to still run Windows 10, or will I be forced to invest in essentailly a brand new PC? I'm sure I'm not the only one in this boat.

I have an older Titan Volta that I'd like to continue using. After installing on a new PC am noticing high idle temps (45C). This is with the fan running almost 50%! A google search suggest 30-45C as a an ok idle temp range. Does 45C seem high for GPU idle temp? Is there any good diagnostic...

I'm attempting to disable multi threading in my BIOS. For AMD based CPUs this is known as SMT For Intel its called HyperThreading. But when I go into BIOS > CPU Configuration Advanced There is no option for SMT. Just SVM and NX modes. Can any AMD experts help? View: https://imgur.com/a/DIf1QH5

Exploring Google's MediaPipe framework in TouchDesigner on a Windows 10 PC In the documentation it suggests a huge performance gain can be had by disabling either HyperThreading (Intel CPUs) or Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT - AMD CPUs). I assume this is done in the BIOS. I have an older...

Thanks for feedback. Still have 10% space on SSD. Ran sfc/scannow which seemed to fix a few corrupt files. Hopefully ok for now. I know from experience NOT to attempt a Windows update if your hard drive is full! I basically bricked my desktop machine not too long ago and had to do a clean...

After some fiddling was able to get into BIOS. Ran disgnostics. Nothing out of the ordinary. Booted again holding down F12 key. Not sure what changed but boot process was a bit different. Can now see spinning circle icon below the Dell logo. After several seconds I boot successfully into my...

Thanks. Appreciate the lengthy response! Unfortunately the reboot cycle never ends! Would you know if there is some keyboard shortcut that would allow me to boot in Safe Mode or get into Startup Repair?

After installing the latest set of security updates, my Dell XPS 15 Laptop is in an endless reboot cycle. It boots, I see the Dell logo for several seconds, then it reboots again, repeat. How can I resolve this?

I was forced to do a clean re-install of Windows 10 after a failed update. I did a simple format of ONLY my C drive partition first before my re-install. I can boot into my desktop successfully but ONLY after I first boot into BIOS and manually select my startup drive in the Boot list. I then...

After latest Windows update which hung my system I was forced to do a format and reinstall of Windows 10. After installing using external USB and applying all updates I am getting a constant (every couple seconds) 3 note reconnection tone. Annoying! I tried disconnecting ALL external usb devices...

OP Just wondering if this is possibly a disk space issue. Perhaps Windows is attempting the update but running out of hard drive space and stuck in an endless loop? I think I need to create bootable external media on a USB stick to further troubleshoot. Been several years since I attempted this...
