It only slows down when the active time goes to 100% Huh, didn't think this could be a mechanical issue. Will do this on the weekend! It's 75% full, but it did this even when 50% full.

Hi, One of my SSDs, the Crucial P3 Plus 4TB Gen4, does not behave how I'd expect an ssd to behave. For example, when downloading a game over steam, it cannot sustain the full 600mbit download speed with the active time in the task manager going to 100% periodically. https://paste.pics/R9RVU When...

I had to unmark previous best answer by Dragos Manea. It worked like a charm but now it bricks my PC(the problem is here again with new Windows Update). So beware!

https://www.hirensbootcd.org/ has done the job if anyone happens to do something as stupid in the future.

I made a backup of the .dll that I replaced so what I hope for is a way to access the system32 folder with admin rights and replace it once again. I'm just unsure what tools to use since I never encoutered something like this before.

Yeah I regret saving that for later. Was on my todo list for longer than I am willing to admit. Fortunately I do have 2 backups of all the important files but I would prefer not to do a clean windows install.

Hey! I did this and now my PC won't boot. Not even into safe mode. It worked a couple of months ago and since I had the same issue (overclock not working) I just went ahead and did it again. What tools do I need to boot from the USB drive and then overwrite the change I made with a backup? The...

D750 is not the only full frame available. Just look beyond Nikon.

For a combo? Yeah it's low. For body only? Should be fine.

Assuming you already have a good lens(or have a separate budget for that) - look for a camera with the biggest sensor. Full Frame, preferably. The greater the sensor size the better(less intensive) the shot noise becomes. To put it in simple words: more area - more light - less noise. AFAIK the...

That does put it into perspective. Thank you for the in-depth! I wonder, though, if I shouldn't upgrade anyway to save money. It seems cheaper in the long run, no?

Oh I did overclock the 6800k to 4.2GHz and I am actually happy with how it performs. My concern is with how Intel goes about CPU Sockets, compared to AMD. With AMD I can buy a good motherboard and just upgrade the CPU. With Intel I have to upgrade both. That's why I thought I'd make the switch...

Hello there Forum, I am attempting a switch to Ryzen and would like to sell off my old CPU+MoBo combo, which is: ASUS ROG Strix X99 Gaming i7-6800k For the CPU I think it's easy - just find a similarily performing new one and price it just a bit lower but I struggle with the MoBo. It is a...

Worked like a charm. Thank you!
