    Question Help with new Pioneer Blu-ray drive ?

    I asked about and the IA chat said the "BK" means black, so this is indeed the drive I got. There's BDR-212-BK printed on it, and it came with no retail box. About the region code, they didn't clarify in there, here's the thing: - I had forgot that we can set this in Windows. It's configured...

    Question Help with new Pioneer Blu-ray drive ?

    Hello, I recently got what was announced to be a Pioneer BDR-212DBK optical drive. I was told this doesn't work for UHD discs, so updating the FW makes no difference. What I was wondering is this: 1) Based on the MAKEMKV info (that I got after reading it for the 1st time today), is this really...

    Question ASUS SBW-06D5H-U - which drive to replace it?

    None of these are different than the one I use The first is exactly the same for the reader, and the 2nd I forgot to add that slot-loading is not an option. Will any of these internal drives with the Vantec enclosure have this tray? If the answer is yes, any of them will do: The other one...

    Question ASUS SBW-06D5H-U - which drive to replace it?

    I have the external BD drive ASUS SBW-06D5H-U, which I bought knowing it didn't support UHD, for example, or some types of discs. I always used an old LG drive, for my previous case, which was internal. However, I had to ditch this because a bad PC case was compromising my hardware. So I had...

    Question Best new CPU and MB for video editing? That is power eficient

    I own the i5 11400 from Intel, and MSI Z590A-Pro. Also 32 GB of RAM, DDR-4 Corsair Vengeance (two 16 GB each). It looks like this CPU uses 65W. I was wondering what would be the best AMD CPU nowadays, that is not twice or more wasting energy, and best suited for video editing, on a budget, that...

    Question Something very odd happening with my monitor/Windows/Bitlocker ?

    There you go, it happened again. Monitor turns off despite not even 30 minutes after I left the desk. It should have showed the screensaver and that's it. It seems Windows 11 has a bug that randomly does that. I configured to wait hours (2-3 at least) before turning off anything. When the...

    Question Something very odd happening with my monitor/Windows/Bitlocker ?

    Not only TPM is showed there (link here) I made sure this W11 install didn't use any hack to allow TPM bypassing. The CPU is TPM-ready. PROOF here I can only assume these specific instances when the monitor goes off were caused by Windows not acting as it should (not a surprise, considering...

    Question Something very odd happening with my monitor/Windows/Bitlocker ?

    That was me on the Acer forums. My Windows 11 install I am using is very recent. I formatted the entire computer (100% of data was erased, nothing preserved, meaning a clean install, from scratch), I have two SSDs - NVME with 2 TB (WD) and Samsung's 4 TB regular SSD. Also, 32 GB of RAM, so two...

    Question Boot screen does not showing, enter Windows 11 directly

    PROBLEM SOLVED! I didn't have to change these settings: FreeSync and Ultra Low Latency are ON; QUICK-START-MODE was already OFF; But... AutoSource was ON. And that's why the monitor kept trying to detect Windows, despite the 30 second delay to show this screen: IMAGE Which I now changed to...

    Question Boot screen does not showing, enter Windows 11 directly

    There is only one cable connected to the computer, which is one of the HDMIs, and that goes to the GPU. Should I plug a second HDMI cable, this time to the onboard video? It's possible to do it, but it would be pointless since the GPU is now replacing it, so there will be no image if I try to...

    Question Boot screen does not showing, enter Windows 11 directly

    AAAAAAAAAAnd there you go, folks. Further proof this is not an isolated incident. https://rog-forum.asus.com/t5/intel-700-600-series/new-build-won-t-post-to-bios-with-4k-monitor-black-screen/td-p/915632 So, this must be RTX 3060's fault.
