I'm pretty sure they know how to hash passwords with a salt. The communication they put out had a low level of tech involved, getting into details of how passwords were stored/checked seemed unnecessary, at least as I see it. But I'm pretty sure Mojang knows that they're supposed to use a hash...

Any other signs apart from the complete shutdown? Could also be temperature, but you should see a throttling before the shutdown occurs on any modern CPU.

Unseat the RAM and reseat it. Make sure that you place RAM in the color-coded slots so that they're paired. Also try removing the new RAM stick, making sure it boots, and then switching the sticks (so that the one that "breaks everything" is the only one there).

RAMDisk isn't going to make much of a difference. RAMDisk is mostly important for server-class tiers, especially if running databases for the extremely reduced overhead (even if it just reduces the delay by 0.1ms compared to an enterprise SSD, 0.1ms a hundred million times has a significant...

I've "safely" excluded cables and monitors as an issue, since I have two monitors and the artifacts show up in both screens. I'm using HDMI on one monitor, and DVI on another. What a friend of mine suggested is that it could be damaged video memory, which would explain why it doesn't "spread"...

Will do. One thing I've also noticed is that these artifacts don't really spread. For example, the League of Legends artifacts (that are visible in those images) didn't affect anything else, and they'd "follow" the window. Is that normal behavior?

I am currently running on a Corsair TX850 V2, non-modular. My video drivers have been up to date for a month and a half, so I exclude drivers being an issue. My CPU is OCed to 4.2GHz, but at idle it runs at 37ºC and my GPU at 31ºC, with ambient temperature of roughly 20ºC. Maximum load...

Hello, My 10-month-old GTX 760 has started acting up, yesterday, with some pretty massive artifacts. I have never OCed it. Yesterday afternoon, some images on my browser started showing up with artifacts. I ignored it, assuming it was a browser glitch since it was fixed on browser restart. But...

Fit into two different categories, heh...

I don't get how is it that MalwareBytes is given the credit for finding this out. I've seen warnings around, even by moderators on reddit (/r/steam) to not give out that file; about a month ago. Lots of people talking about this on different locations, so unless this was found out months ago by...

How effective will it be? Will this simply be an OS trigger, or will it trigger something on a lower level, like the bootloader? AFAIK, on current Android devices, a lock can be removed if the device is wiped using recovery. Would this stop that? I know the data is the most important thing to...

I'll therefore assume the CPU is only faulty for low temperatures. The link that sunder25 posted shows 47ºC under load, which seems around the same I get (I got 50ºC after 30 seconds IBT), and according to one of the replies there it seems like a "correct" temperature. That being said, I'll...

Reason I'm worried about it being too low is that my desktop, in the same room, water-cooled, doesn't get lower than 15ºC on any cores, yet the laptop does. I can't touch the CPU itself, nor its back, but I can touch what I believe is the southbridge. To be able to touch the CPU I'd need to do...

Hello, Today I messed around with my laptop (HP Pavilion DV9000). It got really high temperatures past summer (90ºC during load, and 60ºC idle), so I decided to open it and clean it up. I cleaned everything, ended up replacing the CPU's and the GPU's thermal paste, since it had dried up (it...
