    Question Does anyone know of a case that will fit this RPi 5 setup?

    Thanks for that link! I had looked at one like that with more features, but it was on Amazon for around $60 to $70. After watching a few videos about it, I decided not to get it. The one you linked had the same M.2 bottom board that I have installed. I was able to find one without that on Black...

    Question Does anyone know of a case that will fit this RPi 5 setup?

    I looked at a bunch of YouTube case videos and on Amazon. The ones that might fit all seem to be metal . If someone would post WiFi speed in a metal case, then it would help me make a choice. I had it in a RasTech plastic case with a USB M.2 adapter and that was fine. But, but it won't work with...

    Question Does anyone know of a case that will fit this RPi 5 setup?

    Does anyone know of a non-metal case that will work with this RPi with GeeekPi N07 PCIe M.2 M-Key NVMe SSD PCIe Peripheral Bottom Board? I would prefer a plastic case so that it won't affect WiFi speed. I bought a RPi 4B in April 2020 and didn't keep it long. I am really please at how much more...

    Review Argon ONE V3 M.2 NVMe PCIe Case Review: The all-in-one storage and cooling case for the Raspberry Pi 5

    I recently picked up a RPi 5 and I'm running it with a USB 3 adapter with an NVMe SSD. I've been looking at case options and I found this one very interesting. I understand that the case has metal and plastic parts. So, how does the case affect WiFi?

    Need help with system hangs

    @Roland Of Gilead - I think I've found the problem, at least heading in the right direction. I took out the GPU and ran DDU. I have been running on the UHD Graphics 770 IGPU for over 24 hours and haven't had it hang. A few things pointed me to this decision: 1. The Icons on the taskbar would...

    Need help with system hangs

    Interesting! I missed that as well. Anyway, I had already logged into Microsoft.com com and reinstalled Office. So, far all is good. If not, I'll try the repair.

    Need help with system hangs

    This was a fresh install. All that has changed is normal updates. Since I did SFC and DISM, it is running much better. For my spreadsheet work I'm using Libra Calc instead of Excel. I've not had to reboot. Even Print Screen is working properly. Is there a way to do a repair install of Office...

    Need help with system hangs

    Thanks, but it is hanging again. It did it in Excel, part of Office Pro 2019. I was using it earlier without issue, but just now it hung. Once that started, now Print Screen hangs. With recent updates to Windows 11 you can select what to capture from your screen with your mouse. That hangs, but...

    Need help with system hangs

    So far, so good. It has not run this long without issues for few months. Thanks @Roland Of Gilead and @punkncat! Years ago, long before retiring, I was a CNE and MCP (Windows 2000). Stuff has come a long ways since then. John

    Need help with system hangs

    It was more than 5 minutes as I had to remove my GPU to get to the switch. At least I able to get a little dust from the inside. I rebooted, reset XMP and we are up and running.

    Need help with system hangs

    Nope, as the only change I'd made was for the XMP profile. Since I ran MEMTEST86+ with XMP, I see no reason to make that change. So, far DISM seems to have fixed things. I'll give it some time and post again.

    Need help with system hangs

    Another new trick. I ran it and it did find something with /ScanHealth. So, I ran it again with /RestoreHealth. Here are the results: PS C:\Users\Johns12700K> DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 10.0.22621.2552 Image Version...

    Results of Scan: Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations. Interesting utility, was not aware of it. Thanks!
