As the title says, I need to find a new iTunes alternative. My main use will be for backing up and restoring full backups of my iPhone as I do not use iCloud. So, to be clear, plugging in my iPhone and clicking backup. Then, if at some point in the future I get a new one, plugging it in and...

Hi gang; So I work in 3D animation and, like many in my industry, I have switched to GPU rendering which is a HUGE benefit over traditional CPU rendering. As such, my workstation has 4x GTX 1080 Ti cards exclusively for rendering with Redshift. For these kinds of setups, blower style cards...

Nope, I take it back. It also crashes with just one GPU enabled. Sigh... Don't really know what else I can do now. Any advice appreciated. Thanks, -Richard

So since I can't take out the GPU's, I disabled three of the four of them from the device manager and plugged my display into another one instead of the primary one. I ran the test that usually induces the crash and it didn't crash. This doesn't mean it won't because it usually crashes with...

I have tried to remove some of the GPUs but had trouble as there is a lock on the MB that I have difficulty getting access to. I thought simply unplugging power to the GPU's would make them unavailable but the computer won't start with them plugged in, even if unpowered. With regards to your...

Hi, and thank you so much for the reply. I can certainly try a different PSU - I just need a clue as to where to start. 2 questions: 1 - As I explained earlier in the post, when the crash happens, I look at the computer and I can see the lights are still on and the fans are still spinning...

Anyone?

I’m going to add an update to this to see if it sheds any clues for anyone. I can now induce the crash. If I set up an After Effects render to go, when reaching the computationally-taxing part, it will crash. Once again, I lose signal to the monitors and if I’m playing music, it stops. This...

Thanks for your reply. Some questions for you: "With lots of heavy graphics work the PSU was likely working at the high end of its rated wattage. Over time the PSU degrades and starts to falter and fail. " I used a power calculator today and with all my parts, it said the power usage should be...

Hi all! This is my last attempt before altogether ditching this computer as I don't know what else to do at this time. To explain how we got here... I purchased a pretty crazy computer last summer for my work which is 3D animation and motion graphics. It's was quite the beast and here are the...

Can anyone who’s used both a 4K and a 1440p monitor with the Adobe Suite, especially After Effects, comment on their experiences? Again, I’ve been told by a number of people that 4K with the Adobe Suite makes the interface too small to easily see or click on? Thanks, Richard

Hi gang! I’ve been working on the 3D animation field for ages. Believe it or not, I’m still using my dual Dell 24” 1080p monitors from ten years ago. These are actually LCD and not even LED! lol. I think the monitors are 2408WFPb monitors. Anyway, the time has come for an upgrade. There are...

Hi all; I had an external Dell LTO tape backup drive with it's associated SCSI card installed in an old computer. I made many backups but somehow, that computer is now gone and so is the tape drive so I need to find a replacement drive that can restore my tapes. It's been a while so I was...
