I have my fears of an impending market crash. It is way to top heavy with overspeculation and investors tend to become skittish at a moment's notice. The reality is that the infrastructure is just not there for the hype. The A.I. language models are still using the same neural network method...

Out of all Nvidia gpus, the ones I got the most out of was the 8800 and 1080ti. My 1080ti is still running in an old build and it can still play modern games fine at 7 years old. The extra vRAM certainly helps. When I upgraded in 2020 I knew it was bonkers to go with a 10gb 3080 so I went with...

China's new chip manufacturing is currently more than a decade behind. Their recent CPU performs like a late 2000s Intel CPU. China invests heavily in propaganda to cover up it's crumbling economy. I am curious how they will recover from their real estate collapse. The CCPs survival is dependant...

Ok I took this advice and looked into the Asus bios. There is an option for providing power to USB during soft state which is during normal shutdown. I disabled that setting and it seems to have fixed the issue. So far 3 different boot ups and all worked fine. Seems like leaving power to my USB...

Just tried turning on the PC with no usb slots used and still had the issue. Hitting the power supply switch while the PC is running seems to get it to boot up correctly. It forces it to go into trouble shoot mode after detecting a sudden shutdown and from there I can just have it boot normally...

I will try that tomorrow to see if it fixes it. But the problem seems to have been getting worse. Now I have the same issue when booting up my computer. It usually takes multiple tries of cold boots/restarts until I get a signal from my screen and my keyboard and mouse work. When the issue...

I've recently had an issue that happens at random. Sometimes I will leave my PC on for more than a day with no issue but occasionally I will let my computer idle for hours and when I come back the PC is still running but nothing responds. I have sleep mode off and monitor set to turn off after...

I opened the PSU but did not touch inside for safety reasons. I couldn't spot any bad capacitors just a bunch of dust which I blew most out with a can of air. I put it back together and powered it then played some Crysis 3 for a little and experienced no issues. Image links below...

This is what hwinfo reported on voltages after 30 minutes of playing Crysis 3. Edit: one more thing to add is the noise I heard when the PSU was sparking was not the traditional popping noise. It sounded like what you hear when electricity was arcing.

I thought a cheap power strip could get overloaded easier or maybe the wiring inside was bad.

All I know right now is that my Asus Maximus Hero VI motherboard detected a power surge and shut the PC off after the spark and that the PC powered on just find when I plugged it in again using a surge protector instead of a bargain bin power strip that was most likely 20+ years old. All the PC...

This is the PSU I have in that build. https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Professional-Certified-Modular-CMPSU-1000HX/dp/B00154QAXQ It's weird that the spark happened during a simple windows update check. And it seems to work fine right now while plugged into a surge protector. I was really thinking...

I had an old system I wanted to try testing for a backup. The PC build has an 11 year old Corsair HX1000, Asus Maximus Hero VI motherboard, i7 4770k and GTX 570. I was incredibly stupid and lazy and didn't have an outlet close enough so I used an old power strip to connect the PC to. while...

I have run into another problem. When my friend restarts his computer it gets stuck in a boot loops. I have to force boot his m.2 drive in the bios boot settings for it to correctly boot windows. I have his m.2 windows drive selected as boot priority one.

Got it to work using rufus to make a bootable usb from the ISO created from the MS Media Creation Tool.
